FM 89 - A Musical Night at Alliance Franaise

The discussion goes about from school/college's cafe tables to comfortable indoor lounges, business meeting to drama industry whether our new generation is capable of doing what is being hoped from them ??? The strong and weak throw of arguments oscillate the debate. But I am almost as certain as tomorrow's day that our new generation particularly our young lot is as skilled and trained as a diamond cutter.

Last Saturday i happened to attend a musical event called 'World Musical Day' hosted by City FM 89 in collaboration with Alliance Francaise Karachi.
FM 89 and Alliance Francaise Karachi celebrates World Music Day
'I am one of those guys who always sneak in quietly, just like a 'No One' entity. It helps me stay focused on my aim which is more often to observe every activity happening on the event, from security arrangements to foreign guests presence, from local media to active management. The clearer the sight the better it helps to portrait the things accurately.'

As i proceeded after getting through the security scanning my eyes caught a live playing music band, those lads were between 20-23 years of age, but playing their respective equipments as masterly as one could imagine. I liked the music and the song they were playing. Their performance ended on huge applause and cheers initiated by myself. 
Btw not to forget my hosts were Faryal Farooq and Mr. Ali. I didnt know them by face by i could feel and sense their presence around.

I spent like good two hours on the event, mix of lulled and hard rock music was the major cause of stay. The young bands, four in number, played their best of the best, one could see how sincerely they had tried and how good they were playing their fingers on the sensitive codes. I knew except the few the audience was not much impressed, neither was i, but the sense of commitment and as i mentioned earlier the efforts they were putting up was something you would loudly cheer up ! And at some point i literally felt as the band needed an appreciation more than just cheers and applause!

Those four bands were the talented young musicians, Shajie, Sikanda ka Mandar, Capa, Dynoman, Nuts n Bolts all still young, but you could predict easily few more years under the same sun and they would be our new celebrities.

'Such are the clear signs which do not let my hopes extinguish that your new generation is talented, hardworking and equally competent if compared with talent abroad'.

This was the musical side of the event. Let me say few words about the management of the event.

The event was doubtlessly arranged and complied with required codes and procedures. For instance, sending an invitation for the event, the timely share of cancellation information, then the follow ups, and again the reconfirmation emails.

The purpose of telling these sequels is that people should know that how dependable our new generation is, how professional they are in their work approach, and how dedicated they are in performing their duties and responsibilities. To me the event was more than just an event, it was a clear message to the world,  'Dont underestimate Us'.

This was the FM 89 team.
