I had planned this like before Eid (with my offline friends) that we’d do a Barbeque after Eid, and that finally happened last night (Saturday night).

I had to do some preparation before hand, getting the sound system ready, the lightning and all that stuff, and obviously make the sitting arrangements to hold some 6 butts on the ground, so matteresses were pulled out of the closets.

The bbq started off at around 9 which I think is too soon to start a bbq, it should start at something around 11, so people could live and enjoy through the night, but hell 6 boys together cannot get out alive without enjoying.

We had Asim, Fahad, Kamran, Hassan, Najam and me for the bbq. Asim grabbed his Sheesha (huqa) while coming, Fahad had his Guitar, and Kamran and Asim together grabbed a few movies.

There’s nothing much too tell about the whole cooking part, except that we wet fahad ass (with some super cold water) while he was on the grill, and that I tried playing a little guitar and I sucked big time, the sound system sounded better with some good msuic.

We ate food and jumped into my room, where we had moved the mattresses after eating so we could watch the movies. Kamran wanted to make us watch a horror movie which he though would creep us out, so we put on the one which he got, it was a french movie without any subtitles ‘Record’. If you watch it without any random commentry you’d enjoy the horror part of it, but we laughed all night on it, since we had everyone commenting and redubbing what was being said. Hassan being the lead on this made the whole movie sound super funny.

We then had tea and later icecreams during the movie and also watched ‘Dostana’ again, yeah I’ve watched it before too. We had some good pathan nasta, and around 9 we said our lovely dostana good byes.

That was about it, just wanted to write it to remember the good times

Hello folks. I upgraded my wordpress installation last night to 2.7, which turns out to be super cool. Except that I like the top nav in wordpress better, but I think I m going to get used to this one super fast. Oh wait I already have

I really like the 2 click upgrade feature this has, and then the improved dasboard and customizable interface thats offered.

Oh the other hand, I’d also like to tell you people that a considerable part of the blog redesign is complete, I need to add/remove and fix a few things and then I m good to go. People who’ve had a sneak peak, tell me that the new design is nice, I personally think it’s gay haha !

Anyways, it’s the third day of eid here, and I m at office working. Dang !

Later folks.

The song remains the same take II (Saturday, December 15th, 2007. 8:15pm to 11:15 pm), an event which gave a little fresh air to my a bit of rusty life. Why did I go there, cause H-N’s band was performing, and what did I see and hear was more than just awesome.

Gunaah

The show starts off late, which is not something new for most Karachites, and then the stage is taken by Gunaah (H-N’s band). They do a fair amount of playing and rocking, making an impression with ‘Keep on rocking in the Free world‘ the G3 version. Even though they started with ‘Nagin‘, an instrumental, from 1950’s, but I honestly thought this would’ve been left for the last. Then they had a cover of Noori ‘Saari Raat Jaga‘ which had noticible mistakes, and hence leaves a big room of improvement. The last track they did was also a cover ‘Psycho‘ by System of a Down, which was loud and rocking, seriously !

Bottom line, I loved Keep on rocking in the free world, and Psycho.

Imran Lodhi

We then had Imran Lodhi take the stage and perform one of his originals, which was nice, turns out Imran is one friendly person himself… Rock on rock on..

Spoonful

Spoonful had then taken the stage with a rather long guy as the vocalist, and I mean seriously tall.. These folks did ‘Born to be Wild‘ by Stephen Wolf, which is one of the songs I really love to hear, and boy they did an awesome job with it ! They even did awesome job with ACDC’s ‘Highway to Hell‘, which is another one of my favourites. Cheers boys.

7 on 3rd

Seven on Third took the light of the stage, starting out with ‘Bleed it out‘ by Linkin Park, which showed lack of skills, but as soon as they hit Metallica, I was stunned and impressed, they sounded almost like original Metallica. I m their new fan, their performance was followed by a small fight between the organizers and the fans of 7 on 3rd, since the band performed an extra song which wasn’t quite as planned due to the lack of time.

The Great Drama Queen Conundrum

The Last performance was of The Great Drama Queen Conundrum, I had lost interest in the show a bit, due to the fight, but these guys were good none the less, ‘Foxy Lady’ by Jimmy Hendrix was an awesome work with music, but Vocals, I’d say need work. The vocalist may have made a presentable performance, but since the vocals need a bit of work, things can be daunting to handle.

None the less the show was a run away hit, which rocked the night for any Rock loving bum.

Cheers.
