Some links I found interesting:
1) Why Indians have stopped reading|Scroll Adda
(Note: This is obviously not peculiar to India. Reading for pleasure–especially of Literature– is down all over the world)
2) Motorsports: Learning To DriftÂ
This is about Dina Rohinton Patel, a 22 year old from Karachi who has been crowned Pakistan’s first female drifter.
I personally don’t know anything about motorsports but this is a human interest story about a young Pakistani woman–especially one from a non-Muslim minority. Contrary to what many on BP seem to think, not everything is doom and gloom in Pakistan.
3) Legendary Indian Singer Asha Bhosle Passes AwayÂ
A great loss to the music industry. I will always remember her rendition of “In Aankhon Ki Masti” from Umrao Jaan.
