Pakistan's Special Olympics heroes ready for bigger challenges
The winning team at the LA games 2015.
“Our competitors seemed to have longer dives, faster stokes and had a good built; Farah and I looked so small in comparison,” he says pointing to Farah Vohra, standing next to him with a ribbon around her neck for winning fifth place in freestyle relay.
Although their competitors seemed to have an edge in terms of their fitness and physique, the Pakistanis did not falter under pressure.
They were well equipped to deal with the stress that comes with competing at the top level. The ‘Society for the Rehabilitation of Special Children (SRSC), one of the institutes in Karachi which helped in grooming and development of the special athletes, played a major role in their preparation.
It has also prepared them for the limelight which comes after performing at the big stage.
Having been interviewed innumerable times by news channels, newspapers and radio, the children seem to have become accustomed to the fame, waiting for their turn as each of the player is called out to be recognised individually.
Ahsan Anwer won gold in tennis doubles and a bronze in singles.
Ahsan Anwer, who won gold in tennis doubles and a bronze in singles, nods excitedly at the mention of the Los Angeles trip.
“The other players seemed much older,” he says while stretching his arms high.
“But we were better.”
A 22-member team of support staff had accompanied the special athletes to the Olympics and the deputy head of the Pakistan delegation, Asma Hassan, says the experience was a life-changing experience for many of the athletes.
“But our children stood out amongst the rest, they were well groomed and on their best behaviour. Their performance and etiquette gave a good name to Pakistan.”
Ambreen Umair, who has been an aquatics coach at SRSC for almost a decade, says the Games were vital in the athletes taking the next step in becoming even bigger stars.
“Only Pakistan’s team was the most disciplined, all the athletes were so much at ease with everyone. They did not even ask us to make calls to their parents during the trip.”

The Rocket-Missile Man of Pakistan: Air Commodore Władysław Józef Marian Turowicz
The Rocket-Missile Man of Pakistan: Air Commodore Władysław Józef Marian Turowicz
Ever since Pakistan got independence she saw hundreds of faces that served the country to their best, played more than just a vital role in its development and made the country proud by all means. One of such names is Air Commodore Władysław Józef Marian Turowicz. Air Commodore Władysław Józef Marian Turowicz was a prominent and distinguished Polish Pakistani military scientist and aeronautical engineer who is looked up to as one of the chief architects of Pakistan’s Space Program.
Born in 1908 in Serbia, Władysław Józef Marian Turowicz has a unique kind of fascination for aviation technology, rocket science and aircraft designs. At the age when other children collect marbles and play with cars Władysław Józef Marian Turowicz had a hobby of collecting different kinds of aircraft models only. Władysław Józef Marian Turowicz graduated from Serbia’s most prestigious institute of that time- Warsaw University of Technology in 1920 with a master’s degree in aeronautical engineering and later earned his PhD degree from the same institute.
During his time at Warsaw University of Technology he along with his friends, university fellows, teachers and other eminent scholars of the field laid foundation of Aeroklub Polski where he did extensive research in the field and got the golden chance of working in close collaboration with Polish aeronautical engineers of that time.
Władysław Józef Marian Turowicz after earning his PhD degree joined Polish Air Force in the capacity of an aeronautical engineer and fighter pilot. He later migrated to GreatBritain where he was immediately accepted to serve in Royal Air Force as Reservist Polish Pilot. He served Royal Air Force in critical times of World War II and as the situation got worse many members of Royal Air Force were sent to different countries. Pakistan was fortunate that Władysław Józef Marian Turowicz along with 29 more Polish pilots, engineers and scientists migrated to Pakistan.
In Pakistan he was deployed at Karachi airbase where his primary responsibilities include train our fighter pilots and play a role in setting up technical institutes. During the first three years of his tenure, he served Academy of PAF as chief scientist too. After building capacity of members of PAF he was transferred to Peshawar airbase where his job responsibilities were even more critical.
Władysław Józef Marian Turowicz was a fighter, a brave warrior who not only fought courageously during World War II, but defended Lahore during Indo-Pak war of 1965. The nation’s asset also held the key position of PAF’s Air Marshal.
The mission of Władysław Józef Marian Turowicz’s life was to establish grounds for space engineering and he worked day and night for that in Pakistan. Władysław Józef Marian Turowicz worked closely with Dr. Abdus Salam, the only Noble prize winner of the country and was among those few people who convinced President Ayub Khan that how important it is for Pakistan to have space and nuclear program. As a true patriot Władysław Józef Marian Turowicz had all of his faith in Pakistan’spotential to grow as the strongest nation of the region. He believed that that day is not far away when Pakistan will haveits own nuclear and space program which will help the country maintaining peace and sovereignty. His dream came true, but he wasn’t able to see its realization. Pakistan launched its firstdigital communication satellite in 1990 that was exactly 10 years after the demise of the prodigious scientist and engineer. He was also involved in the launch of Rehbar-1, Pakistan’s first rocket. Rather, he is believed to be the chief designer and developer of the program. Towards the end of his career he was serving Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) of Pakistan as administrator.
Władysław Józef Marian Turowicz met an unfortunate deadly accident on January 8, 1980 leaving a legacy of intellectualism and technological advancement behind. He was buried in Christian Cementary in Karachi with full military honor. His name is engraved on a memorial there along with other Polish scientists that served the country, at Monument of General Władysław Turowicz in PAF Museum Karachi and as General Władysław Turowicz at Space Complex (SUPARCO), Lahore Center. As an individual he has received many honors like Sitara-e-Pakistan, Tamgha-e-Pakistan, Sitara-e-Khidmat, Sitara-e-Quaid-e-Azam, Sitara-e-Imtiaz, Abdus Salam Award in Aeronautical Engineering and ICTP Award in Space Physics.

Pakistan’s bahadur heroes
May 22, 2015 marked the release of Pakistan’s first 3D animated feature film, 3 Bahadur, directed by Academy Award winning filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and produced by Waadi Animations (a joint venture between ARY Films and SOC Films).
Although the last few years have seen a revival of Pakistan’s filmmaking industry, making an animated film locally was a feat that was yet to be attempted.
When asked why she chose to opt for animation, Chinoy says, “Although Pakistan has a very young population and a booming media industry, we have stopped producing quality content for children. After exploring a range of options, from live action to animation, I kept going back to animation because of the sheer amount of imaginative freedom it offers.”
Using the classic theme of crime-fighting superheroes that has inspired and captured the imagination of audiences for generations, 3 Bahadur is the story of three children, Amna, Kamil and Saadi, who discover they have superpowers and decide to use them to battle the evil lord Mangu and save their hometown Andher Basti from his malevolent designs.
Scripted by Kamran Khan, the film is anchored in the ideals of courage, heroism, loyalty and friendship. The objectives of making a film targeted at the next generation went beyond entertaining children.
“We wanted to convey the message that there is a hidden superpower in every child and by recognising their potential, children have the power to change Pakistan’s destiny, without waiting for a superhero to come along and save the day.”
— Jerjees Seja, CEO, ARY Digital Network

New gul in the garden
Gul Panrra on debut in ‘Coke Studio’ and making it big as a female singer from Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
KARACHI: Next time someone returns from Peshawar, you should ask for a lot more thanjust kamiz tor(black kameez) and taza taza guloona (fresh flowers). Not that fresh flowers of the city have lost their fragrance but because another ‘Gul’ from the city has blossomed in the garden.
Gul Panrra pronounced Gul Paraaan and not Paan-raa, made her Coke Studio debut in a duet with Atif Aslam. Her sharp ethnic features, enhanced by the traditional matha patti, have made people go crazy about her looks rather than the song, as she basks in the success of her stint.
“I had sent the Coke Studio people a picture of exactly what I wanted to wear during my performance,” Panrra tells The Express Tribune. “I wanted to bring forward the delicacy of traditional Pukhtun features and merge them with our ostentatious styling sense.”
