KARACHI: It was heartening to know that Mr Adeel Imtiaz, the owner of the ravaged Bambino Cinema, was able to partially refurbish his theatre in time for Eid. It reminds me of the phoenix, a mythical bird which burns and then rises again from its ashes. I hope more such birds take flight in the form of Nishat, Capri, Prince cinemas, as well as all other cinemas that were burnt down on Youm-e-Ishq-e-Rasool.
Well done, Mr Imtiaz!
