Onceagain a fantastic review. While watching this drama every few minutes I am very much tempted to turn of the computer but the only reason I continue watching it is because of your review and the ensuing dialogues.
Re: kameti : I dont know how to exactly define it, but from I have seen it is like the kitty parties that many middle/upper middle class participate in in South Asia. Its basically a group of women who come together to form a kind of a saving club, where everybody contributes a fixed, previously agreed upon amount on a monthly basis, all of which adds up to a larger sum. Once a month a name is pulled out and that person gets the lump sum value. Women usually join these groups as a way of saving up to buy a big ticket household item, or to save money for a wedding etc. I hope thus makes sense? If anybody else can explain this in a more coherent fashion, please feel free to jump in!
Uff ROFL @ blackberry & itne chote chote dher saare buttons dekh ke to apni gadhi chakra hi jai gi!.. How on earth would she even dream of even handling such a complex thing!! She cant dream beyond the sitaras! Btw i literally gagged when N asked R abt her phone number.. Na tv na radio, na film, na hobbies, how did he even think ke she could own a phone!!
AH is hot.. Even on the phone! Cant wait for him to come down and get into the nitty gritty!.. Def the only sane character! @SZ haina! he just needs to dump this girl and see ke kitni lambi line lagi hogi hahaha
Grrrrrrrrr I wanted to hit the airhead man for getting besotted with a dumb girl who is nothing but saccharin sweet moves around like a new bride despite being covered by chadar only. With a writer like Umera Ahmed and a director who herself is a very good actor how can they show something like this in this time and era. I think I will give the serial a miss till Zeeshan comes into the picture, yes I am fond of Mikhal but unfortunately I am allergic to the likes of Nabeel Sikander.
AH is so reasonable here! his decency must be a role model for his brother and our hero sahab!
Agree with U! Sanam jung is totally failed and on the other hand, mansha Pasha is fab! AH is Fab! so, the only few reasons to watch this drama is firstly to comment on ur review, then Aliyaa and the AH bsss ?
I had to agree with @PG that your review is more fun and interesting followed by heck lot of hilarious comments than drama itself.. How do even khala family bear this anokhi makhlooq named Rumaysa.. Nahin matlab dont they get frustrated.. Her character is literally unlikable.. Itna gusa aata he iss slow motion larki ko dekh kar :@
And to make me relax and chill is always Aaliya ? her scenes are like fresh breath of air.. The way she was not showing new blackberry to her sisters was too good.. Totally bindaas and full on.. Love her..
Sikander family needs a new topic for discussion and they will get it by next week when nabeel will drop this bomb of marrying to romaysa most probably.. I still want to test my patience and see when does it gets better ?
@SZ hahaha well ive read this one so i think id better stay on sidelines with this one.. But as far as MeJ is concerned, i feel the characters were very strong and deep.. Here we see stereotyping! The characters seem very shallow..
I loved MeJ the drama and thats no secret! Lol.. But everyone who had read the novel seem to have loved the characters and the story.. And like i said on another thread, The drama has a somewhat different flavour to, it the strong characters make the story work!
@Habiba : Looking forward to hearing from you on Sannata now .. dekhen how much of a stir your comments cause there ?
Btw, if yuo like you scould check off the box where it is says notify me of comments via email .. you will get real time notifs of all activity on that thread
@sz mujhay nahi lagta habiba ne story wise similarity ki bat ki hai MeJ ne casting,acting aur direction wise fans ko kafi disappoint kya tha (by the way I loved it) jab kay novel best seller tha agar me sahi samjhi hoon to unhon ne is hwalay say comparison kya hai k MSKSH bhi waisay hi disappoint kray ga warna donon ki stories characters main zameen aasman ka farq hai koi bacha bhi bata sakta hai
Secondly R ko writer ne deliberately itna stupid,dumb dikhaya hai ta kay bad me anay walay incidents viewers kay liay acceptable hon is say ziada nahi bata sakti is liay have patience aur is allah mian ki gayee ko bardasht kren waisay meri gut feeling hai ye gayee end main tarzan ban jai gee aur ye hi message ho ga UA kay dramas ki entertainment value low lekin message bohat strong hota hai bulkay baaz dafa sirf message hi hota hai you know what I mean ?
Haaniya went through all ordeals under the sun.. But she never came across as a mazloom aurat.. Yes she was qismat ki mari but She was a strong woman who fought her way through her halat with her intelligence , sincerity and also integrity..now in MSKSH R may have had similar fate and ordeals ie losing her family etc but our R is not only mazloomiat ki intiha but also aqal-bandi ki intiha!! She is not just qismat ki mari but also khala ki maari, andhepann ki mari aur aqal-o-samajh ki mari!!! Here we can only expect miracles to sort her affairs out! ..khud tou kuch nahin karne wali..
LOL, I didnt realize my comment would arise so many other comments ? Its after I responded to SZ, and then I scrolled down to so many people comparing MSKSH to Mata-e-Jaan.
Well I am not speaking in a sense that Haniya is completely similar to Romaisa, and Abi is Nabeel. I am speaking story wise, I feel that Nabeel will die eventually after falling in love with Romaisa, and then she will marry another guy (probably Zeeshan).
Ever since being introduced to these last August, I had developed somewhat of an affinity for them. If we were to live in an animated, Roger-Rabbit-World, you'd see me juggling three of them, tossing them in the air and catching them in my mouth.
I'm sure most of us can remember the joys a circus provided in childhood. The live animals aren't there anymore, and I have mixed feelings about that. It is important to note that no Australian circus has ever been charged with animal cruelty.
It's also a bit like vegans attacking the farming of animals. The reality is that these animals would not exist in the world without domestic breeding programs. But that debate can be had on another day.
Cliff Roberts (1929-1999) was a cartoonist and animator. His cartoons appeared in magazines such as The New Yorker and Playboy. He worked as an animator on Sesame Street, and wrote and drew the short-lived Sesame Street newspaper comic strip.

Beach Front Modern explores the narrative potential that exists between hosts and guests within the short-term rental market. Inspired by a photo shoot that took place in one such property in Kingsburg, Nova Scotia, this painting is part of the 2017 series Parallel Play.
From 1976 it has been owned and run by Anna and Anton Gasser, who originally came from Switzerland. For those eagle-eyed viewers, you will see the Swiss flag features on the top of this Big Top along with the Australian flag and the two indigenous flags.
The Gassers were originally animal trainers, but in recent years there have been violent (how ironic!) protests by animal rights groups and this has led Silvers to discontinue the practice of using live animals in their shows. In this case puppet ones will do, at least from Sesame Street.
Michael Berry has written a paper describing the optics and giving some photos. In Shrek, an animated animation film brocading traditional fairy tales, the magic mirror is both gifted with speech and able by the image to reveal distant truths.
Lord Farquaad, in search of a princess to marry, a necessary condition for him to become king, interrogates the magic mirror brought to him by his men. They pull it out of a thick bag, suggesting that it has been removed. The mirror is supposed to help Lord Farquaad in his approach, but his inability to lie from the beginning is taken for impertinence and his frankness is quickly swayed by the threat of a guard, who breaks a small mirror in front of him in a gesture of intimidation. The magical mirror then responds "carefully" to save his life. He speaks with a man's voice and his expression is personified by the image of a white mask that appears in his reflection. The image of the mask disappears in a second time, remains the voice that is transformed into voiceover of the program Tournez mange. Then appear in the reflection the three princesses candidate for marriage, qualified as "Catherinettes": Cinderella, Snow White and Fiona. When Lord Farquaad, indecisive and influenced by his henchmen, finally set his sights on Fiona, the magic mirror tries to warn him against an event that occurs at nightfall, but Lord Farquaad, in his impatience, does not give him time.The title of this chapter is a quote from Cassirer. In The Myth of State, he describes theories of myth that followed Schelling's: [The old spell was never completely broken. Every scholar still found in myth those objects with which he was most familiar. At bottom the different schools saw in the magic mirror of myth only their own faces. The linguist found in it a world of words and names-the philosopher found a "primitive ophy"--the psychiatrist a highly complicated and interesting neurotic phenomenon. This may indeed be true. But there is a correlative truth-at least concerning the theories of myth we're examining here. The reflec- tion and the reflected are much more intimately related than Cas- sirer admits. If the subject of myth is a mirror reflecting our intel- lectual concerns, our intellectual mirror myth as well. The present chapter has two goals. The first is piecing together the investigative results of Cassirer, Barthes, Eliade, into a coherent pattern of explanation and description. The second goal is more ambitious. We will examine this explanatory fabric for what it can theoretical endeavors. I will articulate the ways in which the theo- ries of myth themselves exhibit the same characteristics as those authors ascribe Though changed, its function remains the same: myth can be discovered at work in our most sophisticated theoretical constructions about myth. Our theo- retical accounts of myth serve the same tales around an open fire. through 5, we examined four theories of rather straightforward way. I offered synopses of the intellectual positions of the thinkers, outlined their views of myth, and pointed out areas of agreement and disagreement among them. The analysis undertake in this chapter is more like making a quilt. will take bits and pieces of the four accounts of myth, rearrange them into a harmonious pattern, and create something new without destroying the texture, the color, or the fabric of the old. The four authors we've been studying seem to have little in common beyond the selection of myth as an important topic for Cassirer is a critical idealist, investigating the mythical for what it exhibits of the movement of consciousness out of its embeddedness in organic, biologically determined exis- tence and toward an ideal freedom, the fulfillment of the telos of Spirit as it creates symbolic form. Barthes is a neo-Marxist struc- turalist semiologist inveighing against the furtive cover-up of con- tingent, historical processes; a cover-up performed by mythical sig- nification, especially as bourgeois mythmaking attempts to stop up free, revolutionary speech. Eliade offers an account of a sacred ontology, an existential position of being human made possible and available through reciting mythical narratives and participating ritual acts. Sacred ontology allows for the erasure of the terrors history and for full freedom for human being in participating in the creation of the cosmos as a meaningful, ordered, Hillman, a or archetypal psychologist, follows the path of soul-making through mythical forms to the soul's destination of freedom from analys and misogyny, movement toward a divine" psychology. the great differences in perspective we find these theories, why have I chosen to compare them in my own work on myth? First, I am doing a "second-order" analysis, not begun at the beginning, so to speak, examining myriad examples of myth and offering an original interpretation of them. That groundwork has already been done by many other competent researchers, includ ing Cassirer, Barthes, Eliade, and Hillman, I have taken for granted that thinkers of such intellectual sophistication, despite their inerad. 166 THE MAGIC MIRROR articulate and constitute the distinction between human being and the world for human being. We can also begin to elucidate more fully the means by which myth-and theories of myth-perform this task. We can identify these by piecing together our explanatory fabric in a different wa Rather than explicating the internal organization of a theory (for example, moving step-by-step through Eliade's account of the hiero- phany) and clarifying this through comparison we can look for more subtle points of congruence across the four theories. We can find these congruences, and they exhibit a definite theoretical pattern. I will offer a schematic rendering of this pattern here, it will be examined in detail in what follows. "Myth" is a functional construct with no definite able content. The function that myth serves is to unite and separate two opposed ontological regions. Myth is irreducible to one or the other and at the same time is intimately related to each and to both. This is the paradoxical nature of the mythical, it is a kind of gateway, hinge, turnstile, or threshold. This undecidable quality of myth in service of distinguishing opposing ontological regions means to maintain its status as myth it must con- tinue in its function as the boundary between incommensurables The ontological regions delineated through the paradoxical func tiot of myth are that which belongs to human being proper and that which is other. Myth also plays an important role in deter mining the ontological priority of the region that belongs to human being (however construed). The otherness of what belongs to the secondary region determined by the mythical makes it particularly intransigent for theoretical endeavor. However, certain features of what is mythically designated as other can be transformed and recu- perated for the truly human region through a reduction of what is other to that of the same, myth works as a kind of permeable boundary This pattern of explanation is evident in each of the theories we've examined. But the same constellation of traits can be found in way that each author uses the concept of myth. We will see how concept of myth works as it alternately hides and betrays (some- times) covert metaphysical, ontological, and valuational assump tions in the theories. The concept of myth serves as a gateway or threshold, the paradoxical site or the perfect alibi, demarcating anti thetical ontological realms, one of which is honored and valorized the other taboo. The concept of myth, like myth itself, serves to mark the limit of the truly human, however construed.The Magic Mirror is owned by the Evil Queen and has been depicted in different versions as either a hand mirror or a mirror on the wall. Every morning, the Evil Queen asked the Magic Mirror the question "Magic mirror in my hand, who is the fairest in the land?". The mirror always replies: "My Queen, you are the fairest in the land." The Queen is always pleased with that, because the magic mirror never lies. But, when Snow White reaches the age of seven, she becomes as beautiful as the day and even more beautiful than the Queen and when the Queen asks her mirror, it responds: "My Queen, you are the fairest here so true. But Snow White is a thousand times more beautiful than you." This resulted in the Evil Queen enlisting a huntsman to kill Snow White and bring her Snow White's lungs and liver.
