Dressed up as a
fair ground, with halogen balloons strung up the staircase railings, crepe
ribbons and coloured flags along the skybox and library extension, Nixor
immersed itself into a day on festivity and joy. Organized and executed by
Nixor Logistics, the Tri-Entity Day Camp, in which the three not for profit
entities; Adopt an Orphanage(AAO), Meri Bhi Aik Khuwaish Hai (MBAKH) &
Taleem Sab Kay Liye (TSKL), participated; was perhaps the first major event of
the highly anticipated GSD week.
As soon as the
clock ticked twelve in the...

Of the myriad of
problems, issues and headaches plaguing our nation, there is one that is often
overshadowed and overlooked. It is mutually concurred to be a problem by many
but is seriously pondered upon by very few.
Our literature, our
reading habits and hence our desire to advance intellectually has declined,
greatly usurped by WhatsApp, Candy Crush and Bollywood, and all that is today’s
version of what to Churchill was the ‘odious apparatus of Nazi rule’. Not to say that modern social networks, video
games and everything else that...

As soon as I
entered, the ambiance was characterized by light music playing in the
background, and lights gleaming down upon the beautifully decorated stage and
seating area.
The
volunteers rushed to set everything up, some carrying bottles of water, some
checking the arrangements for food, and all of them ensuring that the setup was
just perfect. They wanted to make this day the most memorable day for someone.
They wanted to bring smiles to...

The AAO Shaadi organized by Nixor
Log-X took place on Sunday 4th of October. Walking inside into an
entirely transformed basketball court, the whole place was strung with fairy
lights and it was easy to forget that I was standing in Nixor. Gone were the
sweaty guys playing ball with the sun shining upon them in all its glory.
Instead a striking stage for the bride and groom was set up, along...

Lo and
behold, it is that time of the year again. When bells and bleats can be heard
in the streets, heralding the return of another Eid-ul-Azha. Members of prestigious herds, in all their
glory can be seen filing into the homes and hearts of many.
But hang on
for a second, there is something rather unpleasant that accompanies this Holy
Holiday every single time it comes around. Unpleasant though is a light word.
Stronger words like ‘utterly revolting’,’ undeniably criminal’ and ‘perfectly
blasphemous against the laws of social propriety’,...

So this was
prompted by the loads of junk also referred to as chick flick novels that have
become the rage these days. To be honest, I couldn’t stand another minute
before writing on this because apart from a chosen few, cliché love stories are
seriously starting to get on my nerves.
Each starts
off with a bad boy and a timid goody two shoes who’s never let loose, never
gotten drunk, never skipped class. But then she falls in love with the ever
popular and everyone’s desired bad boy and voila there’s a connection! (If life
were that easy for...

Bright
lights adorned the court, bathing the ‘pitch’ in a brilliant illumination.
Crowds gathered in increasing numbers while players and spectators alike milled
around expectantly, conversing, practicing. Sweat-drenched volunteers sprinted
hither and thither putting the final touches on the preparations for one of the
most exciting and most anticipated events of the summer.
And so,
with Shayan of Alums thundering down the pitch to bowl the first ball, the
Nixor Hospital Premier League kicked off. From the get-go one could observe the
passion...
