.:Border Border
"Border Border" the feelings and emotions of three generations of people on both sides of the border regarding the partition are reflected through two families, who go for a picnic in the border area. While the children are curious to know about each other, the older generation, who bore the brunt of the partition are still filled with hatred and bitterness. But people who lived together before the partition ate still nostalgic and have feelings of togetherness, which was ruthlessly killed by political forces. In the play children from India and Pakistan who meet in the border not only share the some names but also idolize the same heros and heroines. These children who always wanted to visit the place where their grandparents lived once, break the border formalities and sneak into the forbidden areas. The play, which is aimed at spreading peace and harmony, highlights the similarities people share in both the countries. It also highlights the more tolerant and forgiving attitude of the women folk in both the countries as compared to their male counterparts. The sequences of the play right from the prejudices of the people to the children crossing over the border, the political efforts like samjhuta express and introduction of bus services, are dotted with funny yet meaningful songs composed by Mohammad Aslam. Border Border is directed by Ms. Harinder Sandhu and Mr. Naseem Abbas, The play is written by Mr. Shahid Nadeem.
