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.
