GIVING KIDS A CHANCE

Whoever has seen the viral video of children singing their hearts out, and beautifully at that, at Lahore’s Surtaal Music Academy, must have felt really happy about it. It was a heartening sight. That’s exactly what our children need. In a warm gesture, vocalist Asim Azhar visited the academy, met with the sureelay [sweet-sounding] kids and offered them something really nice he requested them to open for him at his recent gigs in Faisalabad, Lahore and Islamabad, which were held bet ween November 6 and 8! Well done, Asim A. Your contemporaries should follow suit.
