By Ziad Bashir The author is a Junior at Lahore School of Economics, and the Chief Editor of Ideas Evolved. The following is a personal account from him about his experience with iE’s latest project. With less than a week to go to the release of Rock Paper Scissors issue 1, it doesn’t feel like I am anywhere near the end. This also happens to be my exam week, during which I am visiting the publisher almost every morning before the exam to confirm and finalize the finer details of the product we are about to launch in the market. So, since I do not have a single moment to...

By Ziad Bashir The author is a Junior at Lahore School of Economics, and the Chief Editor of Ideas Evolved. I do not deny it, this is us openly telling you that advertising packages like the ones offered at iE, are a great option for your business- the small, or home operated, or online businesses. But this would help you no matter where you want to advertise. We have come across business owners who need to desperately promote their product but don’t know what to ask, how to prioritize or how to set the targets of the ad-campaign, understandable since no business owner can know...

The Qaumī Tarāna, is the national anthem of Pakistan. Its music, composed by Ahmad G. Chagla in 1950, preceded its lyrics, which were written by Hafeez Jullundhri in 1952. Another feature of the anthem is that no verse in the three stanza lyrics is repeated. Pakistan National Anthem Lyrics Latin Transliteration Pak sarzamin shad bad Kishware haseen shad bad Tunishane azmealishan arze Pakistan Markazeyaqin shadbad.

The author, Asiya Shoaib Ismail is a Political Science major at LSE. She is a fan of learning and exploring and is always up for a challenge when it involves learning new and exciting things. She is presently interning at Ideas Evolved. One thinks of Ali Azmat and is reminded of the good old Junoon days with Ali Azmat’s long curly hair, rocking out to songs like Sayonee and Yar Bina but limiting him to his music would be doing him a grave injustice because I was able to discover in him a very different character during my interview of him. In the two and a half hour long...

By Ziad Bashir The author is a sophomore at Lahore School of Economics, and the Chief Editor of Ideas Evolved. In this article, I am going to argue a point that I hate arguing about, mostly because the response I get to my arguments is usually far from the point, and never focuses on the entire argument I present. Dare I, a self-proclaimed liberal, argue against the direction that Pakistani fashion has taken? If I do, I risk being called a fundamentalist, some of my more enlightened friends would even go as far as to claim that I am in favour of taking freedoms away from the fashion...

Written by Mahrukh Saadat. The author is a 22 year old aspiring journalist studying Print Journalism. She loves to write quirky pieces during her free time. She was born in Lahore, Pakistan but she has been in Canada for most of her life. “The 4 B’s we Boys Are Attracted to” by Waterloo Warrior’s inspired me to write a response briefly explaining the four M’s that girls are attracted to. MAKE UP Girls love make-up. Hands down they do. It doesn’t matter if they apply a pound or two pounds, all girls love make-up. In fact all they do is eat, sleep, watch, think and speak...

By Ziad Bashir The author is a sophomore at Lahore School of Economics, and the Chief Editor of Ideas Evolved. He has a Creative Writing exam tomorrow which gave him the perfect excuse to write what he doesn’t usually get time to write. Nobody cares why I like comics so much… bummer! Yeah, that’s how it began for me. Comic books, super heroes, their selflessness, stories like Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and the larger than life adventures in them are some of the things that have been a significant part of my life. How significant? Let’s put it this way: I have wrinkles on my...
