The five literature
festivals being organized all across Pakistan have proved to be absolutely
fruitful and lively. Every year people show up at the event to revive their
love for surrealism, books and their favorite authors there.
All these
five previous editions of literature festivals have not only captured the attention
of the people living nationwide, but also internationally many have admired
this brilliant effort conducted by the organizers of this wondrous event. A lot
of well-known speakers show up in the festivals to make the audience realize
the importance of Pakistan’s literature and also keep them entertained
throughout.
Writers play
a vital role in framing up the minds of the people and provide them with a
perspective so they can learn how to optimistically deal with the difficult
circumstances going on around them within the society. It is very necessary
that their efforts are highlighted as they are the major asset who hold up the
mirror and discuss issues in their own distinctive style.
These days we
see that due to improvisation in technology and mode of communication people
have lost their interest in buying books. Many are not much into reading
anymore due to their busy routine in life and those who are, they instead of
buying a hard copy prefer downloading eBooks. Importance on keeping valuable
should be stressed so that the bond between the people and their literature
gets intensified.
More such
events should be organized as these events can play a vital role in breaking
the stereotype of violence stricken image of Pakistan, showing the positive and
dynamic side of this country. The best part that makes literature festivals
stand out and makes it more vibrant is that these events are for everyone. The
organizers do not keep it all boring and bookish. Theatres are also set up to
keep the audience entertained followed by various stalls and fun activities for
children.
Hopefully
more such events would be carried out in future nationwide, that are as vibrant
as these literature festivals and captivating enough that they receive
appreciation internationally as well. Pakistani celebrities, artists and
writers should join in hands together and contribute in bringing a positive
change within the country.
