The good things first..

My blog was listed in the 100 inspirational blog designs, which got me do a little wowing

Also, it’s was also the 5th birthday of WordPress… YAAAY !

Ok, so thats about the end of todays good part

As I said it’s been a random day, total random day ! I hadn’t really slept well then again, when do I ever ?, any how, I hadn’t slept well, and then this shit load of work, well it wasn’t that much, but since i was way sleepy, it seemed like it, but I completed it, which is a little achievement for my inner brat And oh boy, alot of systems at our work place got infected with some crappy chinese virus haha !

But most of the systems are now clean, and those that had the issues weren’t major machines, except a couple of them, which means we probably will get a dedicated server for the design team soon, hopefully. Thank goodness my computer was still safe, otherwise things would have been much more bizarre, in the wrong direction.

We also had a little design team meeting today, which was god, and nice one, and guess what, I’ll be leading the next one, not really a very interesting thing really, specially since I m going to be doing it, not much is going to come out of it

Oh and boy, I got late coming home too, missed my office van, and took ages to grab a cab, and then the long route..Woah.. nevermind.

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.
