Har baras kay "haéñ" din pachās hazār!



It is your 44th Birthday, Sab.



I just thought I'd write a little note to tell you
how much we miss you, physically,
but hold you in our hearts every moment
and always will.


Every birthday you used to come to our house
and we'd take a photograph of you, too.


We'd go in the evening to your house to celebrate your birthday with a delicious meal that you'd have cooked. Ragni was always amazed at your cooking (and the cake, too).

Now you are no longer with us.

But that amazing place
that you gifted to us
in Karachi is here.
And it is loved!


This evening (20the June 2018) we will celebrate your birthday there. See the poster that Shaheen Jaffrani made. Its full of colours, like you were.


There will be our favourite Espresso, of course.
I will drink one for you and one for me.

There will be Conversations about you and what you did for so many people in the Open Mic session. There will also be performances by the artists you helped bring up and gave them the love they deserved and more.

You always loved Music. All sorts. 


Wish you could see us now and see how happy we are to talk about you and your affection and intelligence and the sheer magic that you always were.

Your heart was so full of love for everything.

Before I leave T2F I will drink The Hipster that you adored. 



From all of us,
this is what we can give you now
… and forever.
