Do you remember PTV series ‘Qasmi Kahani’, based on Ahmed Nadeem Qasmi’s short stories almost all the plays were well dramatised and directed. I still remember the following:

(i) Ihsaan: *ing: Arifa Siddiqui and Azmul Haq (beautifully dramatised by Amjaad Islam Amjad)
(2) Pahadon ki baraf : *ing Hina Shaheen (as a beggar girl) and Mehmood Aslam (as a poet). gr8 execution of story.
(3) Sannata: my all time favorite *ing: Saba Pervez, Resham, Fareeha Jabeen, Naima Khan and Khurshid Shahid. gr8 acting by Saba pervez esp in the end scene when she refused to marry and say ‘main mard ban gai hoon’

(4) Satt Bhirai: *ing: Mehrun nisa (playing sister of seven brothers), Rehana Siddiqui and Khayyam Sarhadi

(5) Alhamd o lillah: *ing Rustom (as a village molvi),Rehana Siddiqui. The play was very much close to reality.

Couldn’t find any of these plays online. However, when I read collection of 40 short stories selected by Ahmed Nadeem Qasmi himself, I fouud all these stories there. here are links to some of the stories of Qasmi sb:

Sannata was hauntingly beautiful indeed. I even read the short story later but was more mesmerized by the dramatization, particularly Saba’s sister’s character who threatens to put a coal on her tongue (was it??)…too good
