8th Karachi literature festival 2017

   First Karachi literature festival (KLF) was held on march 2010 after the success of that event they expanded it into Lahore and Islamabad. KLF is produced by oxford university press and founded by ameena saiyid. 

Like every year, this year the eighth Karachi literature festival held in beach luxury hotel on 9th , 10th & 11th February.This literature festival shows the positive side of Pakistan & yes! the happy faces I saw there in a sorrowful life in Pakistan was treasure. Everyone was attending the seminars of their interest,there were different feature debates, Discussions, Talks, English & Urdu mushaira, Book launches, theater Etc. I appreciated the management of KLF that was amazing & they managed every seminar dedicatedly , In 3 days of Festival nearly 2 lac people's participation recorded.This Festival was open for every class but the book sellers was selling expensive books which is unreachable for Students & i think they should improve this flaw next year because there was a large number of students attending the festival from different universities,colleges & schools. 
  On the 1st day of Festival the prize distribution ceremony, concert & speeches by the sponsors were scheduled. The Inauguration ceremony of KLF started at 5PM PST & ended after 9M PST
  On the Second day many programs were scheduled but "Urdu nu kia hua" , "Naye awazen:New urdu writers ,"Phool aur shabnam" & "Mushaira" was amazing <3
  On third & the last day of the Festival, that was also the Birthday of Faiz Ahmed Faiz, the best program was "Celebrating Faiz",  hosted by Ali madeeh hashmi & guest was Zehra nigah , Adeel hashmi & salima hashmi. Adeel hashmi recited many of faiz's poetry

I believe that through literature,we learn the culture of people & these types Festival helps us to expose what actually we are, i really admire the dedication of Oxford university press they have done a great job!!! thumbs up <y>
