Shoot

Posted by Ali on July 6th, 2008 filed in General

Hi friends ,

               I know couldn’t write for the past few days. Was drenched in mad shooting scehdules . Am going to upload some pics . A few humble requests .The names of the people i dont mention , dont think you’re any less special . It’s just it’s hard to mention all . Just know that you’re all there in my head and heart . Also it’ll be easier if you could write a more concise post based on fewer lines instead of long paras , although i love those too but will just help read all in lesser time and reply promptly and faster .

             Sas , i get your point . Although i think i already do that . I share my thoughts with my fans through my poetry or even as sentences but shall still try to share as more with that perspective .

 Need to sleep now . Will catch up very soon .

    poetry is too generic for anyone to understand you per say. We all admire poets and their work not coz it elaborates in their perspective of life but coz it gives a more generic view of the world. Every poet writes after being inspired, true, but they talk about the world in general and tht is why we feel like their may be feel some sort of emotional link, but that too to the prose and not to the poet themself.

    You might already be doing that but somehow what i would like to see is ur view on more real life things. A blog explains our day to day life and those that we encounter and the feeling we feel. How we come across things that remind us of the past. How we think a certain trend in the world is for the better or how that change is good or bad.
    You can pick any topic under the sun and have ur say abt it. For example a sport that you feel passionate about and ur take on it, like if u like tennis then how did u feel about Nadal’s amazing win in wimbledon or how suprising it was for a 119th seed Chinese to make it till the womens’ semifinals at the same tournament.

    I find it hard ti beleive that for someone who travels the whole world all you mostly post about is book knowledge like poetry, you have the chance to see the real world that i guess not many ppl back home in Pakistan would. So i’m sure they would much rather hear u describe the places than anything else. For starters if u ever go to venice i would love to hear about it :) Or if u ever plan to come to singapore then i can tell u the hotspots here to visit :)

    in a jist my request is, be more interactive than profound.

    Hi Ali,
    I am a new inclusion.It has taken me for more than a month to write something.Tell me about the songs;

    Mohabat chumain jin kay hath
    (Jawani) paoon pare din raat
    &
    Socha tha payar nan karain gain
    ‘Cause I heard them in your voice.

  12. MegaPink Says:

    Ali Zafar rocks my socks off! <3
    He’s the best singer there ever was and is!
    He’s my Idol!
    My biggest and wildest dream is to meet him once.
    I’d do anything for that.
    The best day of my life will be the day I’ll get his autograph!
    I want to go this concert atleast once before I die.
    He’s awesome in every sense:
    -Singing
    -Acting
    -Religion
    -Personality
    Though everyone says this but I mean it:
    I’m his biggest and wildest fan in the whole wide world!
    I hope he reads this but that’s impossible so I think I should stop dreaming.
    Anyway,
    Rock On Ali \m/
    May God Bless You
    And Wish You All The Best!
    Me Signin Off..!

    Salaam Ali!!
    Bismillah
    I was just thinking of you yesterday,and I was going to blog where are you but you seem to have read my mind- how surreal.I was missing you to be honest- I pray that Allah swt gives you a place in Paradise for being the consistent, caring, genuine and lovely person you are mashAllah. Well all I can say is that I have met some awful people in the last few days- people who shook my soul- two faced people.People pretending to be something they are not, and people who have not one ounce of mercy in their hearts. I was at an islamic conference, surrounded by hypocrites.

    I was angry for Allah’s sake, that these people say they are muslims but they are not even human. Islam is the truth, Islam is love, Islam is mercy, Islam is the road to true contentment.

    I just wanted to say that if you are a person who does good, promotes good, shows mercy and Allah is Alive in your heart- and you remember Him much with love, and try to be consistent with your Salah (namaz) do not doubt that you are not a good enough muslim- because you are probably the best muslim. No human is perfect, and Allah knows best.

    Anyway, just wanted to say that I love you Ali for the sake of Allah, you know I think that the best deed is making someone smile or happy. You always put a smile on my face mashAllah, and I pray that Allah rewards you greatly for every smile you have put on someone’s face.

    Sorry for the long blog, but it just came out. By the way I thank God for making me Pakistani, because I do not know what I would have done if I did not meet the few Pakistanis that were there - we are mashAllah such warm people, my spirit would have truly died without them there. There is good and bad in each nation, but a good Pakistani through experience is mashAllah the best person I have met.

    May Allah bless all the ones that sincerely love Him, and may they be elevated and put on platforms to spread the correct message of Islam- the message of justice, peace, unity and love AMEEN.

    I pray for your safe journey home Ali, and may Allah swt protect you from all evil always Ameen.

    Ambreen.

    SAS while i agree that the blog should be about more than just saying hi and thank you to the fans but what you said about poetry I strongly disagree with.
    Poetry is an extremely personal thing. The artist bares a part of his/her soul in it. In fact, poets don’t share some of their best works with the world because they feel that those poems are too personal and private for them to be comfortable sharing. Hence we get access to many profound works after their death. I write a little myself every now and then, and if you truly write, write from your heart from your soul, its uniquely you. Its not just about the world, but about the way you see the world, the way you experience it and the way you feel it. That is the most personal thing in fact. And I even more strongly disagree that poetry is book knowledge, it is anything but that! A translation of a feeling or experience that cannot be expressed sufficiently through regular means of communication, that is what it mostly is. However, things like which is one’s fav sport and what did they think about a particular match is not. These are just generic pieces of information that don’t tell you anything about the person. Similarly, intellectual meanderings about any topic, are not personal. They’re just an opinion, which might change. While opinions do reflect a person’s beliefs etc, but do not even scratch the surface of who he or she is. Expressions of the self like poetry do a lot more.

    So if you want personal personal, then I suppose you should be requesting for other things which should include more poetry. A sketch or a painting even can tell you way more about a person than an opinion piece on some topic of concern.

    Hi Ali,
    It was so sweet of you to do the special affects on my picture. I loved it. I can’t believe your were able to do that for me with your busy schedule. It means alot and my friends loved the picture. Thnak you so much!

  34. SAS Says:

    Sun. i get wat ur trying to say and where u’re coming from. i too used to write and yes never revealed my deepest poems. but it was not for the sake of revealing too much but rather coz i was sacred of being judged. Wat do i mean by this? Well if artists are really so clear and concise and conveying their messages through prose and art then they won’t really be called artists would they? Art is something that’s obscure and open to individual interpretation. If we can all agree on the meaning or the emotions portrayed by a piece of art then it would be viewed as a failure by the artist.

    I beleive this is the reason that the most misunderstood or misjudged people over time were artists. Leonardo Davinci was hardly ever famour during his lifetime, same applies to Shakespear, and yet after they died and till today ppl can’t really agree on wat kind of a person he was. Some say he was a saddist, to others he was a masochist and then there are those who thought he was pure genious. Where do all these conflicting views really come from? surely not from his life, coz i doubt it was recorded to the dot back in those days, but from his art. For example take the mona lisa smile. there are differeing views on wat the portrait really is, some say its a self portrait whilst others make guesses on various women. but the former assumption lead to a lot of other assumptions of Davincis’ life. So u see very seldom does art truly reveal a person as who they are but rather leave it open to interpretation by the reader or the viewer. Our art is our vulnerability as it leaves us open to judgement and attack.

    Now for your point on sports etc and how such passions can change. Well i couldn’t agree more that they can and they will change but this indecisiveness is exactly wat makes us human. it goes on to show that everyone can change over time and it makes the ppl who follow this transition feel special as they saw a person evolve from who they were yesterday to who they are today. it may not give us an indeepth explanation of a persons personality but wat it does is make us understand a persons thought process better. After that i think girls are smart enuf to read between the lines and be able to piece together a persons character. (the assumption i made here abt girls was made coz most of the fans here seem to be girls :) and as for the guys…well u always have our opinion to fall back on :P )
