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









Lady you are damn fast and you should delete my big face from the here!
Yeah it was fun
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
khanay ki pics kahan hain ??
i recognize 2/5 people only…will read the details 2moro when u post them!
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.
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!
]
Or we ARE fat! *cries*
Judging from Ali’s blog [Yes, I've been a lurker SAWJ] I really didn’t expect him to be so silent.
Safi is like one of those sweet guys who gets picked on incessantly.
Farooq also represents his blog quite well! [The eyeing of hot chicks and the numerous wrong videos on the mobile lol
]
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
(i never thouhgt I’d have to say that. Ever)
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.
@ 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
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
hmmm…i might actually be a ur kumbh key meley main khoyi hui cousin
Absolutely not! but with light beard people think i am older than what i am that is 18 and i hate that! :@
Hey, I only said “Theory of Poopivity”.
And it’s not my fault you guys didn’t know the way to Nando’s!
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.
@ 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
Achha sahi!
Sab tareefain karrahe hain ek doosre ki!
Buraai bhi karo
yar abhi first time miley they…so we were all being good to each other
next meetup key baad key comments would most probably be different
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
i tried to hit on SAWJ but it didnt work
@purple
I m sweet? I thought I ‘d never be called that, I feel like hitting my head with a sledgehammer.
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.
@ 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
@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.
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’.
And yes, safi, sweet. Haha. I know guys get offended when called sweet, but whatever.
oh and farooq, the models were awesome!! Its just the photographer apparently sucked.
@PD: You obviously haven’t been a truck driver on the other end of a Safi collision.
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.
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)
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
@Mahwash: You want to start here too?
@ Safi. Sweet indeed. Managed to decide on the present?
@ SAWJ. Farigh. Of course not.
You are farigh too because you reply!
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.
Farooq did you get a chance to smell?
maybe
lol oK!
