Saint or Sinner

April 3rd, 2006

Yousaf Salahuddin’s Haveli oozes cultural magnificence on this cold wintry evening. An unassuming façade, which could easily be missed from the road, opens into a wonderland of history and tradition. Cradled in the glory of the brilliantly lit-up Fort, it basks in the wonders of two worlds: the traditional, which encourages the use of old oil lamps in a power breakdown as opposed to a generator and the modern, which inspires him to build a comfortable living area in his bedroom and bathroom both. His rooftop springs color for Basant and his basement has become the breeding ground for many well-known musicians today. His courtyard is open to public, whether to host a mohallah wedding or shoot a Zille Huma music video. And he’s incomparable as a host, the courtyard becoming an impressive welcome mat to dignitaries from all over the world-Mick Jagger, Madhu Jaffery, Aamir Khan and Boney M included. Yousaf has led many celebrities to stardom, especially musicians and though he as won a bit of inevitable infamy on the way, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that Mian Salli embodies the Power of One.

June 23rd, 2004

The marriage of former Pakistan cricket star Imran Khan and UK socialite Jemima Goldsmith has ended.

Former Pakistan captain Imran Khan has officially separated from his wife Jemima after nine years of marriage, according to Imran’s family.

Jemima (aka Haiqa), who is the daughter of the late British millionaire Sir James Goldsmith, has two boys by Imran.

“Imran and Jemima have ended their marriage,” an official of the cricket hero-turned-politician’s Pakistan Tehreek-i- Insaaf party confirmed to Press Times of India.

The statement released by the Pakistani political party is the climax of events that have taken place over the past few months.
