Enjum Hamid: All Comments

Excuse typo in my previous comment, I meant Bina Shah

The lack of electricity and other things in our city and country is producing incandescent work from its writers and artists. A huge bravo to Hina Shah, Mohsin Hamid,Daniyal Mueenuddin, Kamila Shamsie, Bani Abidi, Rashid Rana etc., and to the formerly unacknowledged folk artists who have always painted, embroidered etc. in darkness in such vivid colors. I'm a Karachi escapee living in the dull, organised world outside (Washington DC in my case) and am grateful for working electricity, plumbing and law enforcement but nothing spectacular hits my senses as it did in Pakistan whenever I emerge from my cocoon.
