The Awesmazing Meetup :D

After begging my amma jee for days, she finally gave me permission to go to the KarachiTips team's meetup today. It was even more awesome than I had first anticipated. Even though I had planned to leave my place by 10, I left by 10.30 am which made me reach the venue 10 minutes late. I met my friend at the gate and went to the room the meetup/meeting was already going on. Bilal and Abdullah were talking about the journey KarachiTips had made up till now. Introducing myself(which was a bit awkward for me :\ ) we sat there listening to what the co-founders had to say. Then came Baakh and told a bit about herself. The co-founders went on telling about all the awesome ideas they, the cool people they have met and loads of other stuff. Though in the middle being mu-phat (according to Ali) I kinda embarrassed myself. Minutes later, we were given  task of coming up with two tips per group (which were three). Every group shared some awesome tips which will most probably be refined and uploaded on the KarachiTips page as I think the K-tips Blog Team's special. Damn this sounds more like a report then a bolgpost. Anyhoo, we had pizza for lunch(courtesy of the co-founders) <- mufta :D and everyone met the people they've been talking on the blog team ka group with. We had a talented photographer Saad, who was taking amazing photos I'm sure of the whole session with his minions helping around :P. We discussed the team's name and after brainstroming for a while Karachifiers was selected (which will be reviewed first ofcourse) Though it was quite funny when while trying to write another suggestion on the board Abdullah fell off of the chir and the whole room strted laughing at him to which he calmly replied to by saying "Main tou neechay hi behta tha " (lol I hope i remembered his exact words :P) and then we had the epic fail moment when in the excitement of it all Bilal said "Motuh to mouth" when he actually meant to say " word of mouth" which Hira corrected. We also got to meet the cool Rj aapi Umme Kulsoom who had amazing stuff to share and after discussing ideas (the co-founders were doing most of the talking) everyone was divided into groups for the writers (Yeay!! Us), the photographers and the designers. Everyone had real creative ideas which were discussed in the respective groups and than shared with everyone. Oooo!! and all of us got the preview the AWESOME new KarachiTips ki website. So anyways I got to meet realllyy awesome people today like AliSaadHareemShahzalSadiyaUsamaHiraZain and everyone else (sorry if I forgot to tag :\ ) I am seriously still high on the excitement today and I cant wait until this team starts to get do some work in real in a few days. Today was just freaking AWESMAZING <3 and I found the co-founders and everyone who was there to be meri tarhan k. It was freaking cool how so many diverse people were making friends and were being so good to each other. Saad made the whole environment lighter by cracking jokes in the middle of a convo and how can I forget mimicking me :D though it was annoying I enjoyed every bit of it. Anyways right now I have to go watch Humsafar ( Ashar <3) so there it is all the cool stuff we did today :D

A Sandwich at a Cost of a Bloody Finger :D

Out of nowhere I decided to have breakfast this morning. So I decided to make the steak sandwich I wanted to eat. My nanu had made steaks (which were in the fridge ) for us before she left and after procrastinating for a while I dragged my self to the kitchen to fix myself the sandwich. Careless as ever I cut my finger while cutting the steak for it. Instead of panicking I ran to the shouting at my sister to bring some cotton and as I tried to stop my finger from bleeding the only thing on my mind was to take some pictures of my bloody finger.After taking a few photos I told a few friends of mine who Im sure would be thinking that Im really insane. As lame as this may sound I actually dedicate this blog to my poor finger which got sacrificed for a sandwich XD and even though Ive been making this blog a big deal this is going to be a short one so it has to end here :D My bloody finger rocks and so does my freakin awesome sandwich :D

KarachiTips All the Way :D

A few weeks back as I logged in on Facebook randomly and went straight to the K-tips page and found that all of us fans were given  chance to the part of KarachiTips. I filled out a form with a little hope of getting a chance and tagged a friend as well who was just as into it as I was. After a week my friend texted me saying "Im freaking happy, Karachitips walay replied saying they've selected me. Go check your mail too."  Cursing KESC I waited for the lights to come back and after it did, with my heart beating as fast as it possibly could, I logged on to my hotmail and there it was. An official mail from Abdullah, Co-founder of Karachitips, saying that almost 50 people have been selected for the KarachiTips Blog Team and with a promise of insanity and awesomeness he told us that they have loads of ideas to work on. I was ecstatic. Finally I was landed with an opportunity to do something I loved (writing that is :D ) with  bunch of really cool people. The first meetup is coming soon though I might not be able to be a part of it (I hope it doesn't gets me out of it), Im looking forward to working with KarachiTips. This is one of the few awesome things Ill ever do XD K-Tips freaking rocks <3
