Hum International Tele Film Festival 2008 Best Drama Writer Award
On December 2, 2008, Ali Moeen was awarded the Best Drama Writer of Pakistan in the Hum TV's HUM Tele Film Festival 2008 for the tele film “Aik Aadh Hafta". It is a story of a mother who is about to die and lives with her spinster daughter Rashda. This woman has two other children-one daughter who is already married and one son who lives separately. Rashda alone lives with her mother and has sacrificed all her emotions and dreams to look after the dimming lights in the eyes of her mother. the rest of the family is not really interested in what happens to the mother or if she survives. they have their eyes on the only home that they want to sell, scoop their share and give their life a breath of peace from the crisis they face. Rashda is the only one standing in the way of realization. The relationship between the mother and Rashda is also very strange and weird .They love each other as a natural course as well as hate, though not so loudly but the irritation they feel in each other’s presence is enough to establish the love–hate relationship. The irony is that mother knows that her death is being awaited and that’s where the entire meanings of existence change for her as well as the sense of time and space. The whole story is in fact the deconstruction of the idea called Life and what it means when eyed from the angle of relations. It’s a 360 degree incision of our social being and cross section of the belongingness of this being in time and space.

“Primitive times are lyrical, ancient times epical, modern times dramatic. The ode sings of eternity, the epic imparts solemnity to history, the drama depicts life. The characteristic of the first poetry is ingeniousness, of the second, simplicity, of the third, truth.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“One’s condition on marijuana is always existential. One can feel the importance of each moment and how it is changing one. One feels one’s being, one becomes aware of the enormous apparatus of nothingness—the hum of a hi-fi set, the emptiness of a pointless interruption, one becomes aware of the war between each of us, how the nothingness in each of us seeks to attack the being of others, how our being in turn is attacked by the nothingness in others.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“I think of horror films as art, as films of confrontation. Films that make you confront aspects of your own life that are difficult to face. Just because you’re making a horror film doesn’t mean you can’t make an artful film.”
—David Cronenberg (b. 1943)
“The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
