Kudos to Sadruddin Hashwani for organizing a series of qavvalis in memory of Munshi Raziuddin. Recently attended the Karachi event which rocked! Farid and Abu were great and the troupe had obviously practised. The only minor issue was the lack of Farsi but anyway ... no big deal. Some chap in Islamabad had done a wonderful painting of Munshi Jee - captured the essence of the man - impish, inquiring, intense, intelligent ...The Karachi Arts Council is hosting a memorial qavvali on the 9th of September at 9:00 p.m.
Today has been a roller-coaster: fun, irritating, exhilarating, stressful, uplifting, tiring ... yesterday, I listened to a tape from the KGS days - Age 13. Bon Jovi before they became lame, Electric Dreams, Candy's Room. Shed a couple of tears for those days and actually missed school for the first time since I left in a huff at 16.
