The influence of showbiz and elite class on ordinary people
The globe is surrounded by collective ideas, opinions and influence of the big leaders and celebrities in the society. The societies and communities adopt ethics and styles from the civilized and modernized communities. This isone of the reasons of constant evolution on Earth.  There are people who lead life without making it complicated then there is a bunch of people who live in the dreams of celebrities who don’t even know about the existence of their fans. The wave of influence carried by elites and celebrities has brought the eagerness in working class families, who arestruggling with the modern demands of their new generations. This has put the working class in a choosing situation ofgiving up their other important demands to fulfill the expanding wishes of their families which they demand in this modernize world.

Evolution has charmed the Homosapiens, but with this it has brought major depression in masses who have to let go on the simplicity and transform their lives which actually has become hard to afford but some families manage by working harder to get more than their basic needs. One has to give all his efforts in order to earn more than what he deserves which is the main reason of frustration due to not getting much relaxation. The frustration in the middle and lower class is eventually growing every day. This increases the hatred among different classes of people but this glamorous charm of wearing the best stuffs and copying the elites has disrupted the absolute simplicity people once had in classic eras.

The modern world is being ruled by showbiz and media. The fact that cannot be ignored is that we, the audience and the ordinary people are letting them taking over our minds.
It is not only about today’s era that has been changed enormously but ever since the television industry has born, the public seems to be obsessed with the celebrities and there is not even one industry for which we can favor isnot affecting the audience. Be it about fashion and clothing, imitating the lifestyle of their favorites or copying the dialogues, showbiz has left its impact on every single person in one way or the other.

There was a time when the majority of people were inspired by the writers and political leaders but now the glamour of film industries has engulfed the individual uniqueness of all persons. The public started to copy the famous actor’s style of dressing and hairstyles since 1964 after the invention of black and white televisions in Pakistan. Waheed Murad became the style icon of Pakistan television industry in 1964. Youngsters of mid 60’s era started following his style, also audience considered him as an ideal. We had only two channels PTV and STN, up until about the year 2000. Now there are more than one hundred.Now after the continuous growth in industry the influence of TV stars is also growing in the audience. In the classic time women adapted hairstyles as it is, putting eye liner on fleek and wearing tight shirts and pajamas as per the likeable actresses, while men keeping the shave and wearing bell bottoms. During this period, the impact of showbiz was just limited to fashion andglamour. Eventually, as the years passed and as the media evolved, showbiz and its effects kept growing vast on audience.

Nowadays, celebrities also play a huge role in selling of the products. Product companies sponsor big stars for selling their products so the more beautiful the advertisement is the more products will be sold. Likewise, certain people go crazy after their ideals. They wish they acquire all those things and all that fame that their actors or actresses have. Coquettes of elite stars have gotten so high that the ordinary people also wish to live the same life as theirs due to their show offs on social websites.

The elite class of the nation which includes the feudalists, industrialists and the celebrities who can also be called as tycoons havean amazing livelihood. The comfortable livelihood and big show parties have their unique charms. But the disturbing point is the chauvinism is also engulfing the middle class. The access of modernize technologies has become easy but also it is very expensive. As the demands vary and touch the peak graph it also comes up with some sort of feeling of deprivation in the masses.

In the race of dominancy and standing at first position, the society has somehow lost the worthiest things such as simplicity, the approach of human intelligence in academia and also the kindness. The societies have to understand the basic phenomenon of being happy and that is to live the way you can and to be happy in the livelihood which people can afford, with this understanding only communities can build the kindness not hatred and also with this the more better things can come which can be the reason of betterment in common person’s life.

Review of Sair Registan 

This book Sair Registan written by Mohammad Ismail Ursani in 1976 is all about clearing the misconceptions people usually have regarding Thar and desert.  Upon hearing the word desert, our mind draws an image of a place that has nothing more than just the sand all over. No magnificence at all, having only salty water, drought and faded trees and plants. To clear this doubt is the aim of the writer of this book. Ursani has given much importance on considering all the blessings God has blessed us in our surroundings. His creations are so vast that it is almost impossible for mankind to sum it up or to describe it in words. 
The writer has mentioned all the details and uniqueness of all those things from Thar that we cannot even imagine. He has highlighted all the aspects of Thar, of which most of the population is unaware. Thar, people of Thar, lifestyle and a lot more is written in such a way that the reader can actually picturize the text. 

Mohammad Ismail Ursani spent seventeen years of his life in Thar which made him write all about Thar and its beauty. According to the writer, during rainfall, Thar is known as the Kashmir of Sindh province.

The book begins with the meaning of the word Thar which is different in different languages. In one language Thar means the Malai of milk when heated up and there are more meanings in more languages. The second thing talked about in this book is the area of Thar district. Previously there used to be three divisions of Thar, Deplo, Mitihi and NagarParkar out of which Nagarparkar is known as the biggest division area wise. 
The mounds of sand have been highlighted. What actually are mounds of sand, what type are they, what is their usage and how were they made at first place. The mounds of sand are huge and dangerous that one is on pins and needles while climbing it along with the camel. When climbing the mound, the height goes unnoticed but after we look back then we realize how far and high we have climbed. The description of trees and plants of Thar in this book is so fascinating that the reader will not ever think of those plants as ordinary ones. While writing about the trees, the writer thinks that those who have not visited Thar in their life, they will think the land of Thar is same as that of Sindh which actually is way alluvial and way heavenly which grows different sort of plants and colorful trees of which we cannot imagine. 
Basically there are four very well-known trees in Thar i.e. Kando (thorn). Kanbhat, Wango (cucumber) and Jyar. Together with trees, the writer has put forward the information of small plants as well which are Akk, Thohar, Phog, Morari, Baeri, Beryun and many others. Every tree and plant has its own usage and importance and their availability in different areas is also described in this book along with lots of pros and cons of every single plant. 
Furthermore, the hospitality that people of Thar give is incredible. They forget about their hunger and put everything available in home before their guests. They don’t let their guests go empty handed. 
In the end the writer claims that if the people of Thar like and enjoy this book then the photographs of some unique places of Thar will be posted in the block in future.
