Do you actually read it?

It's been nearly one year since I joined blogger. I actually started to have something to do in my free time as I was sitting home that time around but it proved good as time passed. I was selected as a Section Head at KarachiTips blog.

What I have done all this time is just put what I have in my mind into words. I know I have a weak vocabulary and I make a lot of grammatical mistakes too. The basic reason I started blogging is to put out whatever is in my mind. There have been a couple of posts I guess where I have just put out the rage inside me due to some unexpected events. One of my posts got copied too by the way. Thanks to my stalking skills and awareness, I was able to find it out.

Anyways, the basic point of this post was that according to blogger's stats, my blog has been viewed 2700 times now. Seriously?! Like seriously? I just can't believe it. Thanks to everyone who visited it. By the way, do you actually read this or just hit the 'x' after reading the blog's title and description? I think these blogs from an insomniac could really work as a sleeping pill for people. Enough boredom for now, I'll be back later. Belated Ramazan Mubarak ♥

p.s. This awkward font of my posts, it is actually similar to my actual handwriting. I feel like I wrote with a pen.

Timepass

This is going to be one weird post. I have no idea what I'll be writing. Just making this effort to pass time on computer so that I can listen to the music while my father keeps staring at the screen to know what I'm doing and taunt me later that I only talk to girls on Twitter and Facebook :/

Anyways, just to write some more, here is the list of things on my mind. Or put it like the things I want while I'm getting bored in vacations.

1. I want a SMARTPHONE. I'm still living on the phone my father used once and now, it has been transferred to me. It is only good in hard times because of its features like torch or FM radio. Can't even listen to FM because my cats chewed the wire of hands-free. FML.

2. I want a PS3. It has been more than an year since my PS2 has malfunctioned and I have been deprived of playing FIFA -_______-

3. I#m listening to 90s' Indian music these days. I seriously don't know why. I do not like any other song and at the moment I'm writing this, I'm in a mood to listen to sad songs.

4. For past couple of days, I have been thinking about the girl I restricted myself to have a crush on. Once again, I seriously don't know why. to make matters worse, I have a picnic with her this coming Wednesday.

5. After such long, I was high a couple of days ago. Reason? Can't get one. Suffering from side effects of it.

6. I want some portable music player to not feel alone on the picnic. Me and my music, still a better love story than Twilight :')

7. Twitter is all boring again on a Saturday night.

8. I should really finish writing this up and I'm seriously not checking it for any typos or grammatical mistakes. KThanksBye.

Coke Studio

Coke Studio. Music lovers will not be unaware of it. This post might turn into a review since Season 5 has finished. I didn't follow it in previous seasons but after I was introduced to this song, I decided to follow season 5 like a crazy fan, whatever the consequences would be.

Season 5 began a day before my exams. Since I'm an Atif Aslam fan, I was already poised after watching his promos for the first episode and he did not disappoint at all. Their decision to release episodes on Youtube before airing it on TV/Radio was a great one. For people like me who doesn't get to watch TV other than Cricket or Football matches, this was a great way to catch CS.

Episode 1:
Listened to Bohemia for the first time and some fairly new bands known as Symt and Qayaas. Atif's collaboration with Qayaas for "Charkha" was purely awesome but the highlight of the episode was this Pashto song "Larsha Pekhawar". The music, vocals and the classic Pashtun music with CS' harmony, it is such a  melody.

Episode 2:

Episode 1 had everything to make people wait anxiously for the next one and it did pay dividends. What actually was a Sufi music version, the introduction of Chakwal Group added another star in it. Out of nowhere, the master Rohail Hyatt found these men singing Punjabi folk songs and the ways they produced it in the coke studio environment, you have to check it yourself. As for Bilal Khan's "Larhoo Mujhey", if they ever make a list of "Shittiest songs ever", it'll be right under Rebecca Black's "Friday".

p.s. Meesha Shafi <3

Epsiode 3:
THIS WAS THE BEST EPISODE OF THE SEASON. Starting with "Nindiya Kay Paar" by Uziar Jaswal and ending on "School di kitaab" by Bohemia *ignores Bilal Khan*, each of these four songs are a beauty in itself. Nindiya kay paar is basically a mother's story showing her love for her kid. Following it is Rung by Hadiqa. It's basically a Sufi Kalaam but as Hadiqa always does, she did pure justice with it. And then comes, "Nerah Aah".  What was a cheap type of item number in a Punjabi film has been turned into pure awesomness by Rohail Hyatt. As a comment on Youtube says "He chooses a third class thing, adds Shaadi band and still manages to make it world class". On top of that, the dressing by Farhad Humayun, those RED pants, they totally give the feel to the song. I just can't decide which one of Nindiya Kay Paar and Nerah Aah is better. As I'm writing this, Nindiya Kay Paar is on repeat and I'm totally into it. Check out both of them.

Episode 4:

What was a mixed episode containing Sufi Kalaam, Pashto songs, Chakwal Group with Bohemia's Rap and Atif's final solo song, Uzair Jaswal was the pick of them again with his "Bolay". Unlike the last one, this is more of a pop and fast version. As one of the members of the house band says in the BTS that it has become his favorite song of the season, it surely is. Just a mere 3 minutes track but it really makes you feel great.

Episode 5:

Due to some procrastination, I haven't yet watched the final episode but Dasht e Tanhai by Meesha Shafi sounds good. Annnddd, if you're a true music lover and knows something about folk/classical music, this Sehar will blow away your mind. Introducing, Sitar to you....

Overall, season 5 was a great season. I regret that I did not follow the previous season but I am surely checking them all out one by one. Why don't they do two seasons in a year? :(
