Har eik Friend Zaroori Hota Hai - Pakistani Version!

Insan ke liye jaise ghost hota hai
vaise har ek politician nhaist hota hai
aise har ek politician nhaist hota hai

koi subah paanch baje notification nikalay
koe raat ko teen baje siren bajaay
ek teri kadki mein izafara kare
aur ek tere budget ka kabara kare

koi born kamina.. Koi parasite hota hai..
Par har ek politician nhaist hota hai

ek ghadi ghadi karachi aay aur mufahmat kare
ek sailaab k dino main uk, france ka dora kare

badmaashi ki koi zinda advertisment
koi wazarat sambhalay to karde halat tight
koi napasandida, koi hated hota hai
par har ek politician nhaist hota hai

morning friend, koi evening friend
koi kamai wala sugar mill friend
mafia wala land grabbing friend
koi taseer wala marhoom friend
molvie buddy.. Fauji buddy
hi buddy.. Bye buddy
ANP buddy.. MQM buddy
mirza buddy.. Altaaf buddy
2 takay k logon ki kabaddi

kutte... Kaminey..

Everybody.. Sab buddy
a to z

dekh dekh ke halaat bheja roast hota hai
Kyun k har ek politician nhaist hota hai
Is liay har ek politician nhaist hota hai

I want the Monkey

A designer friend of mine forwarded me the scenario of a hilarious situation which he recently faced. It all begins with a client of his wanting a logo for a technology forum. The rest of the story in his own words continues like this: "This particular client, like many other tech-savvy people I know, is unfathomably enamored with the Google Android icon, and predictably, wanted a logo that “looked like that”, but maybe “more like a monkey”.

Being the creative director, and assuming my brain only shits gold, I steered the designer away from that idea and launched into a multi-round design fray designing a logo that looked like anything but Android or a monkey. My designer’s ideas were clever, colorful, metaphorical, painstakingly rendered, extensible to the brand. He presented them with pride, knowing he had my back.

From the client: radio silence.

The designer followed up, asked for another meeting, offered to create alternative ideas or show how our logo could be adapted. He tweaked it, agonized over it, showed our design team more comps and sketches. Pride beget frustration beget apathy. We didn’t know how quite to proceed.

Weeks later, an e-mail from the client. In it, he attached several images of cartoon monkeys, and asked if the logo could be more like that. Like a clock winding backward, apathy beget frustration, and then, sighful resolution.

We scrapped everything, and my designer went back and designed a logo with a monkey that looks vaguely like the Android thing.

Lessons learned:
  •     My brain does not shit gold.
  •     My designers are awesome.
  •     Just give them the monkey.
  •    Adjust the rates accordingly from $50 per hour if you work alone to
  •    $75 per hour if the client wants to watch, to
  •    $100 per hour if the client wants to help.

STFU Zulfiqar Mirza

Just when Karachi breathed a little sigh of relief from all the commotion, useless targeted and random killings, Zulfiqar Mirza once again lights the entire city on fire via the ethnicity flame. The question here is, why would someone in their right mind do such a despicable thing? The answer unfortunately is more than obvious, Political Gains at the cost of human lives. People such as Zulfiqar Mirza know that they don't have the power to give the gift of life to anyone but they unfortunately have the absolute corrupt power to loot, kill, plunder and manipulate. I was watching the news conference live on T.V and just as he uttered those words i said to myself, may god have mercy on Karachi. I knew that tomorrow would not be a good day for Karachi and for the people living in Karachi because of a fool running his mouth uncontrollably.

I also saw some people dragging ZM away from the podium after he was done setting Karachi on fire, because they knew that he had completed his job and achieved the desired target.I also saw Shahi Syed standing besides ZM and smirking away with every foul word uttered by ZM.While coming to my office today i saw many people standing on the roads, waiting for some mode of public transport but unfortunately it was no where to be found. And since our ever some "competent" government had decided to ban pillion riding, i wasn't even able to offer someone a lift. This is what humanity has come to in Karachi, even if you want you cannot help someone in distress and need. And yet the people in power continue to live a shameless life of leisure and luxury while in a delusional state of "Everything is A OK'.

I also saw some people with a very worried look on their face, holding tools in their hands that identified them as Daily Wagers. I don;t care whether ZM is in love with Afaq or Altaf or Iblees, but since he is directly responsible for the unrest today, he should be made to feed the people whose lives depend on the wages that they earn on a daily basis.

And coming onto what he said about "Bhooka Nanaga" people arriving in Sindh after partition and local people of Sindh supporting them, well Mr ZM, Quaid-e-Azam worked day and night to get an independent country for the Nanga Bhooka people, so if you have any problems with them arriving here then its best that you should leave this country and as this would be a welcome step towards making Pakistan a Better Country. Also don't forget to take your boss with you.
