Final Year Project
Project Title
Yaar Da Pyaar
Description
The project is dedicated to creatively highlighting subtle changes that have occurred in friendships of three generations of Pakistanis by collecting and presenting a small number of short stories for each of the age groups. The aim here is to signify platonic relationships of our society that are overlooked in our daily lives due to extra glorification of romantic or mere family relationships.
