One of my very good friends wrote this poem and shared it with me. I really liked this one, so posting it here after permission from my friend who asked me not to show his name here for some reason. Read on and I think you'll like it too.
Kuch Log Aisey Hain
Jo Hawa Mei Urtey Hain
Azad Rehte Hain
Aur Gungunatey Hain
Ik Soch Rakhtey Hain
Khamosh Rehtey Hain
Kuch Log Aisey Hain
Jo Muskuratey Hain
Aasman Chhutey Hain
Per Zameen Pe Rehtey Hain
Buntey Nahi Sitarey
Roshni Detey Hain
Kuch Log Aisey Hain
Jo Hawa Mei Urtey Hain
Azad Rehtey Hain
Aur Gungunatey Hain
Just a few minutes ago, I called Shoaib Mansoor, yes that very Shoaib Mansoor who is known for so many good things that I find it difficult to highlight any single aspect of his personality. Well, I mainly like him for his magical work done for the Vital Signs and Junaid Jamshed. Then I like him for his excellent tv shows such as 50-50, Sunehrey Din, Ankahi, Tanhaiyan, Alpha Bravo Charlie, Gulls & Guys, etc. Then I like him for his first ever movie Khuda Kay Liye, a really well made movie which I really liked!
I got his number after quite an effort I'd say. I'd been trying to call him on and off for a quite a few days now. But today he picked up the phone and well, we talked, and i was just so happy to talk to him. I was just kinda lost in thinking what to say hehe. He was cool, calm and casual and the calmness in his speech was mindblowing. I was so impressed and I guess success lies in being patient and calm.
Well, you might take it as anything, but talking atleast once to Shoaib Mansoor was a dream for me since I just love the lyrics he has written. I basically like all of his work a lot. I hope he can continue doing more of the great work he has been doing for all these years. I'm indeed feeling lucky that I've got to talk to him hehe.
I am a big fan of Vital Signs. I do not find a day when I do not listen to atleast one of their songs. I salute the band for delivering good music. An odd couple of songs they did were very much inspired by popular western bands but other than those you can't ignore the fact that they gave us Dil Dil Pakistan and a long list of wonderful songs.
I love the patriotic songs they've done. Maula, Hum Hain Pakistani, Dil Dil Pakistan, and so on. Here is one song, written by Hassan Akbar Kamal, which is relatively less known but is very very good. It's dedicated to Pakistan Air Force.
So, here goes the song:
Oonchi, bohat oonchi
In hawaon mei rehna hai zindagi
Jeena zindagi
Dhundli fazaaon se
Har dam nigahon mei
Apni zameen hai
Tez khayalon se
Apni uraanein hain
Aik mohabbat
Kitni jaanein hain
Zindagi ka maza
Yun jeeney mei hai
Kal b zinda rahein
Aisey Hum Jiyen
Oonchi, bohat oonchi
In hawaon mei rehna hai zindagi
Jeena zindagi
Har dam nigahon mei
Apni zameen hai
Kal to usi ka hai
Aaj na jo haarey
Duur hai wo jeevan
Aag jo se kheley
Her naya aasman
Hai apna jahan
Kya pata
Kal humein
Jana ho kahan
Han zindagi ka maza
Yun jeeney mei hai
Kal bhi zinda rahein
Aisey Hum Jiyen
Han zindagi ka maza
Yun jeeney mei hai
Kal bhi zinda rahein
Aisey Hum Jiyen
* I types the lyrics as I listened to the song. So if anyone feels there should be a correction, please do let me know!
It may be long before the law of love will be recognised in international affairs. The machineries of government stand between and hide the hearts of one people from those of another.

Finally, I am taking all the pain to update my blog. Oh boy, it often becomes a pain, the best thing you love to do, it becomes the worst thing that you have to do. I am busy in exams and projects so much that I am unable to do anything of anything else.
I went to Procom 2008 and TechElite 2008, we did have a great time there! Was totally worth the time I spent there I would say, meeting talented people from different places.
I will be busy in the upcoming days. I will try my very very best to update my blog with stuff that you like to read maybe, but grrrr... I am so lazy at times so I don't find enough things that push me to write.
Maybe I'd like to share a wonderful piece of work from Ali Kapadia here. Be ready for a pleasant surprise! I interviewed this guy for CGX back when he was just a new name and he had come up with Maujon Mein, a music video built using the stop motion animation. And at that time, we did know that this guy is going to come up with some rock solid entertainment stuff! So, he did exactly that!
