What’s so great about teabreak for me?

I started working on teabreak, once Zair had completed the initial design for teabreak, which was the last one with blue, green, gray and white shades in it..

I had a totally different view of how Teabreak should look and feel to a visitor, they should actually get that tea feeling we want them to have, so I had to come up with a new fresh piece, version 2 was born with a brown theme, more or less like tea or coffee.. a little wooden texture at the top, just to add a little table-ish feel to it.

Now that it’s on and working live, it feels great to be a part of the fresh air flowing in and around me, and the crew, it’s not just that Teabreak has gotten a little larger than it was a couple of months back, we’re also getting some hot reviews from the Industry’s big people, no really.. We’re not the first feed on AllTop Pakistan, just like that.

I think I feel great and proud being a part of this awesome new comer, and guess what, the people who work behind this are way talented than you think, (yes that means me too ).

It also feels really great when you see the people who are submitting their blogs so that they can reach a wider audience, and boy oh boy, it feels even great to see some very popular people signing up, and some people whom you know personally getting on very car you created.

Oh yes it feels awesome

On the other hand lies my PTCL land line, which is all f**ked up, and it ain’t working real good, rendering my DSL pretty much useless… I think I m going to get my DSL unsubscribed and get WiMax from Wateen instead.

It’s been one good journey with Maxcom, and I think it’s still one of the best DSL providers, but in the end PTCL doesn’t really do justice to it with it decade old freakin cables… Thank you PTCL bitches.

18th November, 2007. The evening in Khayaban-e-Itehad would have been the normal life for everyone else ! But those who dropped by The Second Floor - Karachi, had the treat of the day. Gunaah’s birthday bash was all that we gathered for and got the joy of listening to three bands, one of those for whom we have special respect as being of the best underground acts in Pakistan.

The show starts with Achanak (the band), performing their orignals and covers from Aerosmith and Aaroh, honestly the covers were far better than the original, though they raped one of the cover too. Surprizingly they got to do more socializing with modern chicks than the other bands

We then had Gravity get the spirits of the audience high and rocking with an awesome start of a classical ‘Tarana‘, they even performed covers from Junoon and Sajjad Ali, but the most rocking acts were their originals. From the covers they did, both sounded awesome, much better than what Achanak could’ve done. They were actually to do all this unplugged, but on the last moment decided to do it plugged and rocking ! And they did good !

Then we had the final act of the day, Gunaah took the center stage ! Started off with Nishaan from Noori and then moved to Bolo bolo and other tracks, but, yes, but the most rocking performance came from their cover of Psycho of System of a Down, and also their original ‘Talaah -e- Noor’, which also has a very special place for me ! I really love that song !

Even with major sound problems and Gunaah managed to pull out a great show, for musicians and the audience alike, and there’s no doubting that Gunaah is here to stay, for a very very long while !

For those who donot know, here’s the current line up of Gunaah :
Hassaan Sarwar - Vocals/Screams, Qumber Kazmi - Drums, Yasir Siddiqui - Bass, Zain Kazmi - Guitars.
