Noor Jehan – Own Way of Inspiration BY Mansoor Vohra

When the name Noor Jehan resonates in my ear I can only relate with two Queens whose names have been recorded in history for their golden rules and their sense and sensibilities. One Noor Jehan ruled India and the other Noor Jehan ruled hearts, though both the Empresses had different territories as rulers both did not fail to impress anybody with their sense of fashion and style.

When I received an invitation for the Men’s Fashion Week Preview 2013 which was held on March 14, 2013, I was not certain what kind of a show would it be, because the question that was being raised in my mind over and again was that is the first time ever, Pakistan will be hosting the Men’s Fashion Week, but are we ready for it?

The Circus of 1857

Recently I was talking to a friend in Malaysia and she asked me to define what does farce means and I was startled at her question first and that of telling her that it means a ridiculous situation but then I asked her to wait until the weekend and read my blog to have a better incite on the word. The last Mughal Emperor of India Bahadur Shah Zafar asscended the throne in 1837 when he was little over 60 years of age. He was last in the lineage of Mughal emperors who ruled over India for about 300 years. Bahadur Shah Zafar was a weak ruler who came to throne when the Britis
