Ali's Fifth Blog In Canada (peacemakers)

In Canada (peacemakers)

Salaam,
After a long flight, finally here in Toronto. What a lovely town. Always delights me. Slept most of the way and saw “Disturbia”. Now chilling in my hotel room listening to some good music and waiting to be picked up to go to some radio and press interviews. Hectic but sweet.

Now the thoughtful and interesting bit. I got to hear that some people (some rival organizers) tried to create this confusion, infact told some of the local organizers that Ali will not get a visa for the U.S and he’s not coming. A normal practice done by most Pakistani show organizers to damage each others prospects and repute. Well i’m here and hey! guess what, got the visa in three hours. The American gentleman at the visa office was really sweet and kind. Told me to sign an album copy for his friend and take the visa in a few hours. Back to the point, my question is: for how long shall we try to hold each other down for our own personal gains. For how long shall we feel happy for someone else’s misery? Greatness reflects in wishing your enemies the best in their good endeavors and praying for their “Salah” even if they tried to put you under immense difficulty. This was taught and practiced by our Prophet (P.B.U.H). Then why not us?

My basic reason to speak about this here is because of the fact that I believe most of you here are young readers who are still developing a personality, an ideology and a set of beliefs. My humble request to you all…. Please don’t grow up to be harmful to anyone in any way. Be peacemakers and make the best out of your life by giving as much as you can to people.

God bless those who’ve gone astray and put them on the right path, for they know nothing. Amen

Ali's Fourth Blog[Bingo]

Bingo!

Hey all,
Elated to know you all like “Aasman”. Infact the feedback’s been kinda more than expected. Simplicity is the best attire ever.Also, it was quite an experience to perform it live at the President house at the midnight hour, the same time when the nation celebrated the moment of freedom 60 years ago.

It was highly risky to go live on a live transmission as one can’t afford any mishaps and was advised not to. On top of that the whole venue was shifted indoors due to rain; plus no sound check! But I thought to myself what the hell… let’s just plug the six stringer and sing my heart out! And so I did. Felt good! Have you ever sung your heart out? Try.. it’s alot of fun. Bless the neighbours!

Ali's Third blog[aasmaan]

Aasman ko chootay jaein hum

Salaam,
Came back home last night after week of working day and night on the video for the song “Aasman” and believe its on air now. The song and the video hold a very important message for all of us. Something that i feel is the need of the hour. Lemme know what you guys think it is after watching the video . Ciao

Ali's First Blog

Dear rockers! poppers! teeny boppers and old school shoppers,
A big hug to all and sorry for not being able to write to you guys for so long. Before I say something let me thank you all for all the love, the kind words and the criticism. They’re all a huge motivation to strive to be an improved Ali Zafar in every way for your and my own sake. The news is that from now I shall have the privelage of sharing my life in bits and peices with all of you through this blog on the website from time to time. I thought there is so much to share with those who care.

To start with what better than to share the “Dekha !” experience. Yes my new gift to you all. Had a blast while shooting it, hope you have a blast watching it too. Ofcourse I can see you all seem to enjoy the Jack Sparrow bit alot. Trust me i did too. I’d always secretly wanted to do that role and here i was. The first time I looked at myself in the mirror after the make up and everything dressed as Sparrow, even i was like “what the !!!” . Now the difficult bit was to think and render “how the hell would Johny Dep sing “Dekha jo taeree aankhon mein”?! .But i’m glad it came through well enough for you all to like it.

The rest of the experience of working with all the three ladies, i’ll leave that to your imagination. Try not to let your imagination wonder off too much. Behave! catch ya all soon.

Love, Ali
