About Ink

"Ink - Whatever Entertains You"

A quarterly South Asian, print & online entertainment based publication catering to Pakistanis and people all around the world. The magazine first launched in 2008 and has been going strong ever since.

Ink sees itself as a publication that construes almost everything positive as being entertainment- hey, if it makes people react – its entertainment! It could be anything from media, public relations, events, people, issues, movements, to even advertising. Ink feels it a responsibility to promote thePakistani culture at home, cultures abroad, as well as good work South Asians in particular are doing internationally.

Ink’s Mission ~

Disjointed efforts by artists and commercial enterprises in this part of the world have resulted in sporadic bursts of mesmerizing entertainment. However, before these droplets of magic can fuse into a wave that defines the ebb and flow of our cultural identity and existence, external forces scatter them away. Indigenous talent either fizzles away due to lack of opportunities and roadblocks, or, is lured by greener pastures elsewhere, or, is corrupted by market and crass commercial forces.

Ink is not the goal in itself but a means to achieve the goal of developing a cultural movement that unifies. Come on this journey with us to discover the cultural identity of South Asia. Let us celebrate and embrace it. Let us be proud of it and share it with the world.

Why the name 'Ink'?

~ Ink, in one form or the other, is an integral part of different phases in any and all forms of creativity. Creativity, in turn, is the essence of entertainment. The Ink team therefore, considered it appropriate to name their entertainment based magazine “Ink”.

It’s more than just a magazine; it’s a cause. If there is one unifying glue that the world as a whole can be proud of…this is where culture and entertainment comes in.

Where are the gossip, glitz and glamour you ask? Rest assured it’s all within Ink's pages. The guilt of associating fun with a cause is so outdated. No need to stand in line with pickets or chant slogans in unison with your fellow activists. The magic of the silver screen, the authenticity of theatre, the rhythm and beat of music and the effervescence of the fashion world; these are the banners of change and this is what you’ll find within the pages of Ink.
