New do required...

Ok...so its considered the oldest traditional rock n roll trademark...long hair, but after all these years...Im begining to get the "I need a new look" feeling. So plz anyone is open to give any suggestions.
On the lighter side of my life, I just got my mics and amplifier back from my drummers place, what a releif. I went through almost a whole month without practicing a single song. Does anyone know what that can do to a rocker..it makes us restless & cranky, and no one wants to be around when that happens. Come to think of it, Ramzan wasnt quite what I expected it to be this year. It started of fine...then I realized the effects. Music was at its lowest volume to start of with. People, you need to understand music literally flows in my veins. Secondly, My plans of loosing a lil extra pounds went 'chopat' when Big momma arrived. It was food galore (which was amazingly delecious so dont get your hopes high), but it didnt help in the exercise programme. Thirdly, the last few days I was at a shoot for a car commercial and it was 2 daytime shoots 12 hours each....that really messed up my health. But at the end of the day...It got a lil frustrating but made post ramzan all the more better. The whole Eid thing kinda covered it up.
I missed the John Mayer concert that happened the day before, but thats allright, I looking forward to the Desert Rock Fest happenin next year, this time its gonna be a two-day fest.

God bless rock n roll.
Peace.

Eid mubarak..Happy Diwali & Happy Halloween

Hey all,

Been a while i know...what can i say, Ive been havin too much fun and been tied up with work all at the same time. So anyway, Eid just passed, second day in khi today, hope everyones having a blast. Finally got to wore these two kurtas I bought like ages ago, never thought I'd be wearing em. Was good to spend a holiday with the rest of the family, At first I was like chalo, I'll be alone so i'll visit some pals catch up on some overtime work and get some peace for a change and then mom n dad showed up and for a glance i was like "i hope we all have a good time and no one gets hyperactive and tensed about anythin", obviously like any other paki family, weve got our book of various problems which need to be dealt with. So here we were, one big...hmm...happy and anxious family...but at the end of the day....its because we're family we stick together. For the first time my dad sat down with me and discussed some of my business ideas...something that hes never done with me, always my elder bro...and it felt good to talk to dad so openly and maturly..mom was around too, she did what any smart mom/wife would do.....she made the snacks. My sis gave her bit of advice too ....so over all eid rocked cuz the family was at ease...non one bugged anyone...no one went outta propertion...we all just stuck around..:-) - its amazing what something like eid can bring for everyone....

On a lighter note...The goddess seems to have upset me again...I know i'm the last person who you'd give a rats butt about...so at some level i guess i shouldnt care about these things so much. sorry babe., hope eid was a blast and hope your phone is kickass too.

Suicide Angel


Follow you…..into the ocean so Blue
Follow you
Follow you into the rivers of Babylon
Follow you into the point of no return

I don’t remember
I cant remember
I don’t remember my way back home

The dark blue sky, seems like a poison of heaven
The breathing angel falling from rapture up above
A wasted lifetime damned to the fury of misery
A haunted memory fading like a shooting star

LAUGHIN OUT LOUD !!

WOW !.....I feel good (na na na..na na na) I know that I should (na na na..na na na) - yeh yeh its a james brown song so sue me...we rockers have crazy tastes in music, khair . So after 3 days of complete self-realization. I feel energized , pumped and ready to kick some ass at work. what was wrong you ask? well, I guess I was just missing all my freinds in khi. Its become the home I never expected it to be. Over the past 3 years Ive made some best freinds there any person could ask for (god bless em). above all my folks live there, aray my moms in town too, as in dubai...just visitin but maaaan I love her soo much, shes like the best cook ever...ofcourse her motherhood has been the sweetest, cutest & most-nutkhat ever (love you ma). so, yeh that was it, ironically i just got home sick while being home.
Oh yeh, special thanx to my freind insi for caring soo much, love ya too babe...thanx for being around.
Apart from all this mood funda, chilled with the band and jammed to our latest composition, remember, which is turning out great. Cant wait to perform it in public.

Rock on,
K
(p.s thank you for being there..)

All human wisdom is summed up in two words — wait and hope*.

Just when you get that sensational feeling that life is kinda good today...the devil in you throws you a curve ball and strikes you right in the.....well, lets just say that sometimes you feel that you want somethin so bad, and youre workin hard n smart to achieve it, at the same time you feel that is it really gonna work? is my effort going noticed? am i overdoing it?...if people could have answers to these impulsive questions then i guess it would defeat the purpose of being human. I just hope I find it oneday, the one thing that everyone talks about but hardly anyone has seen...sounds like im talkin about a ghost isnt it...well go figure.

have a nice day,
K.
