My B(logging) Buddies Meetup II

EDIT: [*pictures removed*]

So we finally met :) Will Insha Allah write in the details tomorrow. Some pics are missing cuz purple didnt want her pictures here on the blog. All in all, it was fun…had a lovely time.

______________________________

So the details now :)

Khair, first of all, my apologies to everyone. I was the one shouting the loudest to be punctual and I actually got late. It started with a meeting that I had, got home late and then…well i guess it was the butterfly effect :P

So, I picked up SAWJ and then SAWJ had to drive from there onwards. Then we picked up Hira. We actually had quite an interesting conversation…I particularly remember this:

Me: Hira, yeh Ali hai.
Hira: Which Ali?
SAWJ: GRE’s theory of poopivity wala Ali
—–
—–
Hira: Who else is coming?
Me: Farooq
Hira: Farting and poopivity together.. Good combination.

Now the funniest of all. All three of us actually got confused where Nando’s exactly is :P I was saying its either wen you go straight from Tariq Road or its on the road parallel to it. SAWJ actually took us all the way to Naheed :P By the time we reached, Mahwash aur Safi becharey tang a chukey they.

Once we had all settled, Farooq showed up. Now he actually looks different from what I thought but then thats where it ends. He’s otherwise pretty much the way he is on his blog. Purple was the last to come in.

The good thing is, we were all able to talk to each other. In fact itni baatein ki that we forgot to take pics till the very end :P

Anyway, I think baqi details comments main a rahey hain so I better just stop now :)

    i would have looked like a kid in between you guys :|
    what are your ages like? and dont bother telling agar meera wala case hai aapka :D :P

  3. December 15, 2008 at 6:58 pm | #3

    khanay ki pics kahan hain ??

    i recognize 2/5 people only…will read the details 2moro when u post them!

  4. December 15, 2008 at 7:26 pm | #4

    lol, thanks kw!

    It was a nice turn-out, I had fun. :) Sorry for not talking too much, I was actually down with fever and had been thinking about canceling last minute laken phir socha, ajao.

    It was interesting to note that:

    SAWJ and Safi fight like they fight on the blogoshphere. Haha, it was like watching two kids fight. :P

    Hira looks and sounds… like her blog. Enough said. ;) I love her and Mahavash’s wit and comments! haha.

    For some reason, when I’d been in touch with KW on the phone, before I met her, I had this image of her because of her voice as a thin petite short Woman, and she looked exactly like that! Kw, is a really sweet person. :) )

    Farooq needs to learn how to take pictures!! :( [In ref to some of the pics on fb, lol] kidding, or we’re all very unphotogenic.]

    [Or what me and KW was dicussing was true, Hijab makes us look fat! :( ]

  5. December 15, 2008 at 7:27 pm | #5

    Or we ARE fat! *cries*

  6. December 15, 2008 at 7:29 pm | #6

    Judging from Ali’s blog [Yes, I've been a lurker SAWJ] I really didn’t expect him to be so silent. :)

  7. December 15, 2008 at 7:35 pm | #7

    Safi is like one of those sweet guys who gets picked on incessantly. :P

    Farooq also represents his blog quite well! [The eyeing of hot chicks and the numerous wrong videos on the mobile lol :P ]

    Anyway, I’m curious who got there first? I’m assuming it was Safi and farooq? How’d you guys recognise each other?

    And post your impressions! [Over here or on your blogs].

    @Puple
    Lol! i have no clue what that meant but I’ll take it as a compliment.
    Khaer, we got there Pakistan Standard Time, that is an hour late. SAWJ took a few wrong turns, we somehow ended up on main Tariq road, and realised that Karachiwali was a bit lost when it came to Karachi’s roads…khaer we got there. That’s the big thing. If i had been driving even that would have been unlikely.
    Mahwash had arrived first. Exactly on time! You would think she’d have had experience by now. So she got there 5 30 and had to while away the hour and a half it took us to leave homr and find Sindhi Muslim ka Nandos. And it seems Safi and Farooq were waiting under the tables somewhere because the minute we settled on our seats they showed up.

    And no purple, that hijaab does not make you look fat :P

    (i never thouhgt I’d have to say that. Ever)

  9. December 16, 2008 at 6:50 am | #9

    Looks like you guys had a fun time. Good for you!

    KW, you look strikingly similar to a cousin of mine, who, coincidentally, also lives in Karachi, and had I not known that you are unmarried and have degrees in computer science, I might have mistaken you for her.

    Besides, she is fatter. :P

  10. December 16, 2008 at 8:41 am | #10

    @ Safi
    c’mon everyone has seen this pic now!

    @ Saad
    tumhara wala case?

    @ Anas
    khaney ki pics leni theen yar but we actually forgot to take pics :P
    waise the first pic is of farooq. hira is in black hijab and i am in aqua blue. purple didnt want her pics uploaded here so her pics are missing from here. mahwash ki saari pics main purple bhi thi is liye woh bhi missing hai.

    @ purple
    awwww thanks :)

    @ Saadat

    Absolutely not! but with light beard people think i am older than what i am that is 18 and i hate that! :@

  12. December 16, 2008 at 10:55 am | #12

    Hey, I only said “Theory of Poopivity”.

    And it’s not my fault you guys didn’t know the way to Nando’s! :P You live there, not me. I’ve only been there once and that was 3-4 ago.

    @PD: I’m usually silent when I meet people the first time. After that, you will be wishing for me to shut up. ;)

    And I think I actually spoke too much for a first meeting.

  13. December 16, 2008 at 1:06 pm | #13

    @ Saad
    so ofcourse if you are 18 u’d look younger than those who are in their 20’s!

    @ SAWJ
    chalo tussi us conversation ko correct ker do.
    and its the car’s fault…it just wasnt going in the right direction. it wasnt our fault at all :P

  14. December 16, 2008 at 3:19 pm | #14

    Achha sahi! :P

  15. December 16, 2008 at 5:17 pm | #15

    Sab tareefain karrahe hain ek doosre ki!

    Buraai bhi karo :P

  16. December 16, 2008 at 6:01 pm | #16

    yar abhi first time miley they…so we were all being good to each other :P next meetup key baad key comments would most probably be different

  17. December 16, 2008 at 6:27 pm | #17

    I GOT THERE FIRST!!! AT 5:55, smoked half a pack of cigarettes waiting for you folks, and just when i was about to start my car and leave, i saw three chicks kissing each other (muahaha), and so i knew that you folks were finaalllyyy there!

    And for the record, i take great pics! models kharab theen to main kia karoon :D

  18. December 16, 2008 at 6:29 pm | #18

    i tried to hit on SAWJ but it didnt work :D

  19. December 16, 2008 at 7:37 pm | #19

    @purple
    I m sweet? I thought I ‘d never be called that, I feel like hitting my head with a sledgehammer.

  20. December 17, 2008 at 12:26 am | #20

    purple talks too less. Farooq talks too much even though he has that polite smirk on his face (it’d look better with a ponytail). KW couldn’t stop laughing at Safi and Ali’s fight over the last piece of chicken and then the cheesecake (brilliant idea by the way, to not order dinner, Safi) and Hira was her usual brilliant self, frank and intelligent.

    Me, I was mean to everyone, God bless my soul.

  21. December 17, 2008 at 6:37 am | #21

    @ farooq
    keep practicing….next time we meet up, SAWJ tum sey patna chaiye ;)

    @ safi
    c’mon safi, we all know that you arent the ultimate bad guy!

    @ Mahwash
    hmmm so farooq and purple are complete opposites

  22. December 17, 2008 at 8:25 am | #22

    @farooq: Are you the one sending me those gay messages?

    @KW: O bhai, mujhay sirf larkiyan pata sakti hain. Woh jin ke paas mujhe khana khilanay ke paise hon kyoonke I’m kangal right now. :D

  23. December 17, 2008 at 9:01 am | #23

    lol actually i have SAWJS problem of not talking when i first meet people, but it kinda extends to 2nd and third meetings too. Im usually a quiet person by nature. But i have my ‘moments’ and ‘outbursts’. :P

    And yes, safi, sweet. Haha. I know guys get offended when called sweet, but whatever.

  24. December 17, 2008 at 9:45 am | #24

    oh and farooq, the models were awesome!! Its just the photographer apparently sucked.

  25. December 17, 2008 at 9:57 am | #25

    @PD: You obviously haven’t been a truck driver on the other end of a Safi collision.

  26. December 17, 2008 at 1:28 pm | #26

    SAWJ and Farooq, huh? I don’t think so. SAWJ and Safi maybe. They had quite the chemistry while fighting over the food. Very couplish.

  27. December 17, 2008 at 4:16 pm | #27

    ok, the meeting went very bad… I got labeled sweet!?!

    ok, *speaks in a clint eastwood accent* I m the ultimate bad guy!

    people who look sweet on first meet hide great evils inside! beware! (ask absar if you don’t believe me, or better yet, my mom)

  28. December 17, 2008 at 6:25 pm | #28

    nice try Safi. Maybe next time you’ll even master the clint eastwood twitch.And from there you can graduate onto the Gregory Peck half eye-brow raise.

    Til then be happy being called ’sweet’. That was my first impression of you too :P

  29. December 18, 2008 at 3:49 am | #29

    @Mahwash: You want to start here too?

  30. December 18, 2008 at 9:59 pm | #30

    @ Safi. Sweet indeed. Managed to decide on the present?

    @ SAWJ. Farigh. Of course not.

  31. December 19, 2008 at 10:28 am | #31

    You are farigh too because you reply!

  32. December 20, 2008 at 6:45 am | #32

    Ok… This is getting worse.

    I m first being called sweet and now I m somebody’s gossip friend!!! I m going to leave the Net and lead a life of a recluse. I HATE you guys!!! esp Hira and Purp.

    HEHE

    Ok guys… I m in S’pore and currently in a library where I am literally laughing my head of and other people are like this guy has just been exposed to nitrous oxide (laughing gas).

    Anyway, The next would definitely be different.

    December 21, 2008 at 6:39 pm | #33

    Farooq did you get a chance to smell? :P ;)

  34. December 22, 2008 at 10:42 pm | #34

    maybe :D
