Laced with satire and humour, he says it all. One of Pakistan's senior journalists, Wusatullah Khan, has been practicing his art through various formats of multi-media reporting. His blogs for BBC Urdu Service - Maktoob-e-Pakistan & Baat Se Baat'- made him a star blogger overnight. Now, his columns are syndicated for millions of his followers. He writes a diary for BBC Hindi service as well. He hosts a show 'Zara Hat Kay' on the Pakistani TV channel, Dawn News, along with Mubashir Zaidi and Zarrar Khuhro.
