Aman ki Asha

Aman ki Asha (Urdu: امن کی آشا‎, Hindi: अमन की आशा, translation: "Hope for Peace") is a campaign jointly started by the two leading media houses The Jang Group in Pakistan and The Times of India in India. The campaign aims for mutual peace and development of the diplomatic and cultural relations between the two nations in South Asia. It started on 1 January 2010. The campaign never received warm response from India and Pakistan. Despite this, Bennett & Coleman, the holding company of Times Group has been trying valiantly to keep the campaign afloat through a high-profile media campaign.

Background

Aman ki Asha was inspired by the groundbreaking work of Friends Without Borders, an International NGO, that launched bold, love-based people-to-people campaigns between the children and people of both countries between 2005 - 2007. The Times of India and the Jang group both partnered with Friends Without Borders and picked up the efforts after the Dil se Dil Border Concert was canceled in August 2007. "Peace efforts between India and Pakistan are the real need of the hour and only prudence, foresightedness and sincerity can do wonders for both countries. In this people of India and Pakistan communicate with each other."

Total Siyapaa

Total Siyapaa (English translation: Total Chaos) is a 2014 Indian romantic comedy film directed by E. Nivas, written by Neeraj Pandey The screenplay is based on a Spanish-Argentine movie titled Only Human (2004 film) (Spanish title: Seres queridos), written and directed by Dominic Harari and Teresa Pelegri. The titular characters in the original movie were Israeli and Palestinian while in Total Siyapaa they are Indian and Pakistani. The film was distributed by Reliance Big Entertainment across 850 theatres in India with two other films: Gulaab Gang and Queen. The film opened on a similar note with Queen in multiplexes offering stiff competition to each other owing to a similar release count.

The film stars Ali Zafar and Yami Gautam in lead roles with Anupam Kher and Kiron Kher in supporting roles—who appeared for the first time as an on-screen couple. The first look of the film along with that of Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty was launched on the Zee Cine Awards.

Gada-owned Pen India acquired the rights of the film from Reliance Entertainment while & Pictures acquired 50 per cent equity of the satellite rights. Reliance and Zee Network own the film's overseas and promotional rights respectively. Consequently, Reliance and Gada decided to postpone the release date to 7 March 2014 from 30 January 2014 to promote the film. Upon release, Total Siyapaa received generally negative reviews from critics, but became a box office hit

Reshma

Reshma (c.1947 – 3 November 2013),Sitara-e-Imtiaz (Star of Excellence) award, was a renowned folk singer of Pakistan, who was also very popular in India. She died on 3 November 2013 in Lahore, Pakistan, after suffering from throat cancer for several years.

Early life

Reshma was born in the village of Loha, Tehsil Ratangarh district Churu near Bikaner, Rajasthan to a Banjara (Gypsy) family around 1947. Her father, Haji Muhammad Mushtaq, was a camel and horse trader from Malashi. She belonged to a tribe which had converted to Islam. Her tribe migrated to Karachi shortly after the Partition of India, when she was just one month old.

She did not receive any formal education and spent much of her childhood singing at the 'mazars' (shrines) of the mystic saints of Sindh, Pakistan. She was a vegetarian by choice and her favorite foods were 'saag' (cooked mustard greens), 'makai roti' (corn bread), and 'missi roti'- the foods of the Rajasthani, Punjabi and Sindhi people.

Rise to fame

When she was twelve years old, she was spotted singing at Shahbaaz Qalandar's shrine by a Pakistani television and radio producer, Saleem Gilani, who arranged for her to make a recording of "Laal Meri Pat Rakhio" on Radio Pakistan in 1968. She became an instant hit and since that day, Reshma has been one of the most popular folk singers of Pakistan, appearing on television since 1968, recording songs for both the Pakistani and Indian film industry, and performing in live concerts at home and abroad.
