The Magic of Fireflies
Fireflies lit up the evenings of Kashif Qamar\u2019s childhood in Karachi. With his friends he\u2019d collect \u2018jugnu\u2019 as they are called in Urdu into a large jar which then became a living lamp in the intense darkness. But the fireflies have gone \u2013 artificial light means they disappear and Kashif\u2019s young daughters will never see their flickering magic. Kashif sets out to make a present for his daughters - a collection of memories from history, poetry and music all of which have the jugnu or firefly at their centre.
