CVC - Corona Virus Conversations
Baat Corona: Lets Talk
Guest: Saleena Karim
Saleena Karim is from Nottingham, England. She is a freelance writer, researcher, editor, and artist. She has authored two books on Pakistan's founding history. The critically acclaimed Secular Jinnah (2005) recounted her discovery that a famous quote attributed to MA Jinnah, founding father of Pakistan, and which is frequently cited by academics as supporting evidence of his political ideology, was in fact fabricated.
Systems (2012) is Karim's first work of fiction. The 'Cohesive Ethics Theorem' featured in the novel, which is used to create a model for an ideal society on a supercomputer, is a factual concept.
It reflects the poet-philosopher Muhammad Iqbal's statement that an ideal society actively aspires to transform the three ideals of 'equality, solidarity and freedom … into space-time forces … to realise them in a definite human organisation'.
Despite having no direct link with Karim's non-fiction, the core story is also loosely inspired by the original intentions of Pakistan's early leaders to try new social systems in line with the philosophy of Iqbal, the 'spiritual father' of Pakistan.

I started these conversations during the Corona Virus Pandemic. I do plan to continue it after we are Inshaa Allah - God Willing, out of this current self isolation/quarantine times which urges me to think now that What will be our new normal?
This program is in Urdu and in English. I asked my guests 5 questions related to Corona Virus times. Here are the questions and their replies by Saleena Karim:
1. How are you effected and/or dealing/managing with the current situation/challenges, of the CORONA VIRUS PANDEMIC?
2. Any positive message that you would like to give?

4. How do you envision the world after this is over?
5. What is the first thing you will do once CORONA VIRUS is all gone?
