A Memorable Race For Students
Margalla Trail Runners and YourPace by inDrive presented the ‘Your Pace Kids Trail Pakistan.’ The event featured kids participating in 1km, 3km and 5km races, tailored to their age and abilities. A total of 75 students from two of the adopted schools of Momina & Duraid Foundation —Syed Asghar Ashfaq School and Ibn e Insha School (F.B Area)— also took part in this exciting event.
The organizers provided the students two months of physical training to prepare for the race, three times a week at the schools. The highly anticipated race took place at the scenic HMR-Waterfront, DHA, Phase 8, Karachi. Over 800 students from 14 schools from various foundations across the region participated in the race. The children were awarded medals by the organizers, and all the foundations received shields in recognition of their involvement. This event was a truly memorable and rewarding experience for all the children involved in the event.
An evening of poetry and celebration was presented by Mishal Khan recently. As a tribute to two cherished figures of Urdu literature: the birthday celebration of senior poet Anwar Shaoor, and a special honouring of Ambreen Haseeb Amber for receiving the prestigious Pride of Performance Award
The event was presided over by Anwar Shaoor himself, whose presence was an inspiration for the audience present on the occasion. A select group of poets and poetesses shared their work, adding colour and emotion to the night. The poetic session flowed unhindered under the skilled moderation of Khalilullah Farooqui, a well-known voice from radio and media. The star of the evening, poet Anwar Shaoor’s poetry was the highlight of the literary event.
Mehreen Ilahi curator of Majmua The Art Gallery organized a calligraphic exhibition titled Nafs, showcasing the works of emerging artists. Participating artists included Erum Hameed, Iffah Sheikh, Zahir Shah, Huma Tajdar, Umaima Masood, Fatima Arzoo Hassan, Syed Ali Sheikh and Mian Asif.
The calligraphy featured in the exhibition was done in both traditional Nastaleeq and modern, contemporary styles. The artists depicted Allah’s name and verses from the Quran in their works, in their own styles. Fatima Arzoo Hassan’s abstract calligraphy was a standout piece—her textured canvas, featuring Allah impeccably written in white against interplay of blue and white hues, was visually captivating.
Karachi Gymkhana hosted the 38th A.O. Hospital & A.O. Clinic-South Ramazan Cricket Festival 2025, continuing the legacy of a premier T20 tournament. This anticipated event brought together top teams, thrilling matches and cricket enthusiasts on the occasion.
