Is this News? Rehana ka karnama

The following appeared in the daily Jang’s National News section few days ago. While I am glad that Nawab Saheb got immediate orthopedic help, it somehow also brought a smile to me. Among all the global problems that bother us, it is amusing (and refreshing) to note the types of news which still make up to the pages of National News section of Pakistan’s largest Urdu daily.

The news story reports about a guest who slips at an event and how one of the other guests - a lady doctor who is an orthopedist - was able to provide immediate medical help. But to enjoy or understand its content, you really have to read it in Urdu.
