KARACHI: A book about a centuries-old indigenous musical instrument from the Indus valley titled Chang by the late journalist and writer Shaikh Aziz was launched at the Karachi Press Club (KPC) on Saturday evening.
Alauddin Khanzada was the first speaker. He said with the passage of time Shaikh sahib’s many talents are coming to the fore. He was a journalist who treated his contemporaries and juniors with affection. He was a regular visitor to the Karachi Press Club (KPC) and would invariably be found in the upper portion of the club’s building (baala khana). Not only was he a journalist but was also a fine writer. He also knew a great deal about music and could play different musical instruments. He wrote a book on an instrument, chang, that not many people know about, particularly the general public.

KARACHI: The Arts Council of Pakistan Karachi on Thursday evening held an event to pay tribute to scholar Dr Shakeel-ur-Rehman Farooqui, who died of coronavirus on March 15.
Dr Farooqui was associate professor at the department of genetics, University of Karachi.
Shakil Khan was the moderator of the programme. He said Dr Farooqui loved the University of Karachi (KU). He was there until he breathed his last and is buried in the KU graveyard. In the latter part of his life, his fondness for literature, which may have been subdued because of teaching genetics for a long time, came to the fore.
