Hmm! So my friend suggested me to download these songs and wow it made me to download all of there available song,surprisingly the singers are from Peshawar and sing only English songs.There names are Sajid Ghafoor & Zeeshan Pervez,both residents of Peshawar. The official website is SajidandZeeshan.com I recommend you all to download "Freestyle Dive" and "King of Self", both hit numbers and available in the download secion.The Video of "King of Self" is available for download,an amazing video shot against smoking featuring one of my going to be university’s teacher lolz.For "Freestlye Dive" the video is only aired on "The Musik" . Download the songs and enjoy the music,the first of its kind in Pakistan and that too from Peshawar.
Another Delay!!!

So far i have spent 4 months after my FSc examination at my home,within these 4 months, 2 months ago our result was announced,and the admissions race had already begun. I had pre-planned what to study and that for sure was BBA, but i was puzzled at the criteria of the private institutions, for one university the last date of form submission was 26th and in the other university the last date of payment of dues was 25th. The same criteria was followed by the other private institutions, as un luckily studies in our country has become a very profitable business, mind you,get a banner printed in the name of a university and open its branch in your drawing room and you’ll see thousands of people flooding at your end.
I changed my mind of admission in Islamabad and decided to go for Peshawar after giving up my seat at CIIT-Islamabad that cost me 10,ooo/-. Hoping to get admission in a good Management University made me apply in IMSciences for BBA and in Edwardes College for HND (Higher National Degree) in Business studies, the entry test date for IMSciences was decided to be 3rd October while for Edwardes College there is only an interview. The entry test was to be conducted by Educational Testing and Evaluation Agency (ETEA) , this agency is the major testing agency of NWFP, and it also conducted the Entry test TODAY for Khyber Medical College-Peshawar (One of the best Medical Instituitions in NWFP),but then what was all this that GEO TV said, 15 members of ETEA arrested for leaking the entry test paper, the paper according to sources was bought for 75 lac rupees yesterday, and sold on for as many as 40-45 lac to many people, making the key culprit a Billionaire, the others followed the same trend to recover their amounts and early the next morning, it was available for as *low* as 3 lac*damn*, one of my friend’s friend happened to buy the same paper for this amount, and so the test was conducted but later cancelled and postponed to an unannounced date.This makes me feel very sad for my friend who is a 17th board postion holder but he says all we can do is to wait.The same agency is to conduct my test and i think there is going to be a *slight* delay of only a month in my test, wasting some real precious time of me, and destroying my future.
3 Days 3 Versions!
Posted by Khushal Khan on September 25th, 2005
FireFox has been one of my favourite browser i heard most of its hearing from my friend Adil Memon and one of a fellow blogger, since then it has the honor to be in my installs. Two days before i was using its version 1.0.4,it was working fine when i heard my friend saying he uses the 1.0.6 version which according to him was the best with some additions to the previous version, so i got it downloaded from Mozilla’s Official site, and it was yesterday that a message appeared another update is available, i opened the link and update completed making my Browser’s version 1.0.7.It was a good news for me, as i admire FireFox alot, it is simply extra fast and i like its TAB feature the most, as for people like me using a 128 Mb RAM *still* face a lot of problems when it comes to surfing as it opens new windows for Internet Explorer which consumes a lot of memory. There are some things which FireFox lacks and they are that it does not display the un-professional*mostly free hosting sites* sites well, although most of them are rubbish but yet they make at least 45%*according to me
* of the internet websites, secondly the fact that you have to download the plug ins again and again makes me feel a bit uncomfortable but once you have the most basic plug ins, you are in a fast world of surfing the internet.
Jang Columns!
Posted by Khushal Khan on September 21st, 2005
Javed Chaudhry is my favourite columnist, i like his coulmns alot and have been reading him from the past 4 years,but due to some reasons i happen to miss out his columns, alhothough i have read two of his books but still there are many columns that i think i have missed out, yesterday while i was busy in the CSS Forum, my brother’s friend gave me a URL to visit as according to him and even me,the column was for boys like me, i was surprised to see it was from my favourite columnist{Now how did i miss this column},after reading the column i felt relieved,and then carried on the page to surf the whole site,i was again shocked that JANG has compiled all the columns of all the writers working for them and made everyone’s archive, now this was a good surprise for me, i quickly spotted out Javed Chaudhry and there i was, i have a full collection of his columns that i will read slowly!!!
خوشحال سے تُم بھی لگتے ہو
Posted by Khushal Khan on September 20th, 2005
This was the Poem/Ghazal i read once, i guess it was some 2 or 3 months back here,but it was forgotten long ago!,now it was just yesterday i happened to go through this Blog,mind you its a very good blog and the first of its kind in Pakistan i’ve seen,i thought it would get listed or atleast mentioned in the July issue of Spider which was solely about URDU scripts and blogs but i didnt find it there,anyways here is what i wanted to share…
خوشحال سے تُم بھی لگتے ہو
یوں افسردہ تو ہم بھی نہیں
پر جاننے والے جانتے ہیں
خوش تم بھی نہیں خوش ہم بھی نہیں
تم اپنی خودی کے پہرے میں
ہم اپنے زعم کے نرغے میں
انا ہاتھ ہمارے پکڑے ہوئے
اک مدت سے غلطاں پیچاں
ہم اپنے آپ سے الجھے ہوئے
پچھتاوں کے انگاروں میں
محصورِ تلاطم آج بھی ہیں
گو تم نے کنارے ڈھونڈ لیئے
طوفاں سے سنبھلے ہم بھی نہیں
کہنے کو سہارے ڈھونڈ لیئے
خاموش سے تم، ہم مہر بہ لَب
جگ بیت گئے ٹُک بات کیئے
سنو کھیل ادھورا چھوڑتے ہیں
بِنا چال چلے بِنا مات دیئے
جو چلتے چلتے تھک جایئں
وہ سائے رک بھی سکتے ہیں
چلو توڑو قسم اقرار کریں
ہم دونوں جھک بھی سکتے ہیں
خلیل اللہ فاروقی
Blasting Bar-B-Q
Posted by Khushal Khan on September 18th, 2005
HMMM!!! My father decided to have a Bar-B-Q in front of the Kitchen today {Which in the end turned out to be a LIFE threatening ,BUT thanks to ALLAH},i was sent the early afternoon for bringing the required stuff to do all the marination and all,stuff was ready for being “cooked” on a grill,at night we all came out and made all the arrangements in front of the Kitchen,the BAR-B-Q was to be on the CEMENTED slabs {which was the biggest mistake we did},when my Abbu was finished grilling the chicken and we all had nearly had our share,ME{the greediest one amongst the family} went to the grill and tried to grill the last {BIG} piece that was left,as soon as i took the rod in my hand and touched it with the cemented slab near the hot coal pieces {while others were enjoying there food} it BLASTED!!! and all the red hot coal was in air, “Shouts” and “Shouts” and all the coal was in there plates and spread all over in the surroundings,everyone was afraid,luckily no one was the victim of coal except me , a small piece of red hot coal landed on my shoulders and burnt my clothes and through to my body and burnt my shoulder half down, i managed to get all the coal of my body but everyone was afraid and in shock!
And then the very next moment we all started working like fire brigade and spill all the bottles of water on the pieces of coal lying on the floor,fearing it would catch fire at night,the operation was completed and everyone thanked god we all were saved.I was shocked how did that slab blasted,but anyways the blast was enough as it made a BIG HOLE in the slab.
This is a new reasearch item for me and tomorrow i will be investigating the cause of the blast,till then Ba bye as i am already shivering with fear!
Yousuf Youhana embraces Islam!
Posted by Khushal Khan on September 18th, 2005
I was desperately waiting for the Sunday Edition of the “The Daily Jang” {Urdu Wala} when the Hawker brought the newspaper at about 12:00 Noon,and i as usual complaint that “Is waqt tu dunya kee saree khabrain badal chukee hoteen hain”,and he would always give me his silly smile!.
When i read the first page and turned i was shocked to see a picture of the Pakistani cricket player “Yousuf Youhana” offering Salaat {Namaz} along with the National Cricket team captain Inzamam-ul-haq, above the picture it was written Yousuf Youhana assures the GEO Tv about his embracing Islam.It was like a good news for me!.
Another Task!
Posted by Khushal Khan on September 17th, 2005
Though i held the young Pakistani Web-designer responsible for my site not to be up yet, but here is it when i realised my mistake , i just decided to have a look at her site once more when i came through these lines
“I don’t take all kinds of projects, mind you!
Since I’m a ’serious student’, I can’t afford to take huge projects. Contact me only if you have a small or medium sized project to give me. I personally enjoy designing personal web presences, blogs and small/medium sized company websites. I’m always ready as far as writing content is concerned. ”
And then i thought why i didn’t get reply!
But thanks to Big Brother{A great Web Designer} that he gave the whole family an honor to come for FULL 22 Hours holiday to Home Sweet Home, and before sleeping at night gave me some useful tips on how to get the things started. But since i am an abstract artist that unfortunately cant even draw a potato without a stencil, decided first to setup the blog for the website and finally get the site up and running!
Pray for me!
The First Post!
Posted by Khushal Khan on September 17th, 2005
OK here i start, Yesterday it took me some 3 hours to install Word Press to my site, it was a hard task though but when completed i thought it would be a better idea that my blog address is http://www.funbie.com/blog rather than http://www.funbie.com/blog/wordpress and so to do this i had to delete all the stuff again and re-create the Databases that i created for my posts to save into. Finally i am done with it and expect all of my fellow Bloggers to link to me!!! My Website is under design and please pray to god it comes up as quickly as possible, though i did intend to hire a Pakistani Designer and also submitted a quote but since i haven’t received reply from them, i have decided to do all the stuff my self!
Hope you all will help me out!
