It’s Thursday today and Silence is back with Buzz around so here you go:

In order to understand the poetic traditions of Pakistan after independence, we need to understand the political history of newly created state. Soon after its creation, Pakistan faced crisis of all sorts and in late 1950s martial law was imposed by Ayub Khan. The intelligentsia of Pakistan reacted to it very well and it manifested in form of resistance poetry. Raza Rumi writes about it in this post at Pak tea house and offers us a brief history of resistance poetry in Pakistan. The writer has tried to cover all the aspects of resistance poetry in Pakistan and is able to achieve it to an extent. This article is worth reading, you can find it here.

On Monday, I picked the posts by Jonybr and put forward my point of view. I was happy to see Jonybr taking it positively, you might wonder how, to get your answer, have a look at this post here.

With Bilawal Bhutto Zardari in limelight, things are getting tough for him .For many he is a public property and they feel like saying anything about him. In wake of all this, his private life at Oxford is talk of the town. People while commenting on him are forgetting that he is just a teenager who is living as other privileged teenager use to live. Amna Gilani thinks the same. He has posted an article at The Pakistani Spectator about it. I found it interesting, hope you will feel like agree with her too. Find the post here.

For past few days, I have observed that SAJ Shirazi is hosting too much of guest posts. It’s kind of good and I feel like listening to many new voices with him at my favourite blog. Recently, SAJ has hosted the post from Pervaiz Munir Alvi about a boy who is coconut seller. Mr. Alvi found him during his travel on GT road when he stopped by a filling station. This post is worth reading, click here to read it.

When I was a student in Medical school, one of my batch fellows gave her weekly presentation on internet addiction. This post of Qurratulain took me back to my medical school. Yes, internet indeed has this addiction potential and it can lead to a morbid state so one need to stay careful.

So, this is it for now, will be back in Monday with more.
