Even though we live in Karachi, we don’t go to Sea View often because its far from our home in the middle of the city. But on my Father’s birthday this year, we had a great time. On 14th May, we rented a car and spent the whole day out. First, we went to an indoor play area where the kids had lots of fun (I already shared that post, click here to read on it). After that, we headed towards Sea View.

Honestly, I am not interested in going into the sea water. I don’t mind sitting on a chair at the beach for hours, but walking into the water? Sorry, not for me. My family, on the other hand, loves it. I don’t know what peace they find in it, but I just feel scared because the waves can suddenly get strong, and on top of that, the water near the shore doesn’t look clean to me.

Since childhood, I’ve been visiting Sea View, and every time it looks dirtier than before. People don’t care about cleanliness, they throw garbage around, and even horse and camel droppings are mixed everywhere. Honestly, I can’t stand it lol.

We reached Sea View in the evening, the perfect time. I was surprised to see that the place was again under construction. I don’t know what the government is planning to make there, but hopefully, it turns into something nice with proper cleanliness. Otherwise, there is always a lot to complain about. The area is huge, but the beach looked dusty and sandy, and the water was very far back. We had to walk a lot, so instead we hired a buggy ride that took us closer to the sea. We made a deal with the driver, we would not go into the water, just go near it and return. He agreed for 400 each ride, and we took two buggies.

It was a good ride. We got to see the sea up close without stepping into the water, and everyone enjoyed it. You can feel the happiness through the video I have shared here. In one shot, you can see a horse suddenly jumping in a funny way, which got captured by chance.

After the ride, we ate roasted corn (bhutta). Then a snake charmer sat nearby, playing his flute and showing off snake. Honestly, I don’t get it. Snakes cant even hear, so who are they playing the flute for? Its just their way of making money. Still, this is also a kind of “entertainment” you will see at Sea View. Many snake charmers walk around with dangerous snakes, which I personally find scary.

Right after that came an actor monkey show. The man made the monkey dance to drum beats and act in funny ways, and people were laughing. This too is part of the entertainment at Sea View. But I didn’t record it because I was already tired of seeing snakes and monkeys. The main reason is that, unlike horses and camels (which are domestic animals), snakes and monkeys are wild animals and belong in the jungle. Anyway, thats just my opinion.

The evening view and sunset at Sea View are really beautiful, but before the sun set completely, we left for our next destination. We had enjoyed enough and had a good time there.

So, that was our recent visit to Sea View. Hopefully, next time when I go, the construction will be finished, and I will get to see some positive changes. If that happens, I will definitely share it again.

My Father’s birthday is on 15th May, but this year, we decided to celebrate a day earlier. On 14th May, I took a day off from work and in the morning, we headed to our nearby shopping mall, Chase. I had already checked that there was an indoor play area called Chotu Motu on the first floor, and my elder brother had also told me it was nice and clean. So, after a little shopping, we all went there with the kids and entered Chotu Motu.

The best part was that it was completely empty so early in the morning, not a single person there. And that is exactly the kind of place we love, somewhere that feels like a private outing.

Chotu Motu is beautifully designed, no doubt about it. From the entrance, you could tell they maintain cleanliness really well. On top of that, their bonus packages were very attractive. In their super offer, you would get a good amount of bonus credit on recharge. I got a card made, recharged it with Rs. 3,000, and got Rs. 1,500 bonus. I thought I would finish the entire card balance that same day, but even after enjoying so many rides, there was still around Rs. 1,900 left.

At first, the kids weren’t very confident on the rides. In fact, my younger one even started crying, so I took him off the horse ride and sat him on a chair. It was a different kind of experience, and honestly, I enjoyed it a lot. Actually, all of us did.

Gradually, the kids started enjoying the kiddie rides. After one or two rides, they were fully into it. You could see the happiness on their faces in the videos and pictures, and most importantly, their grandparents were overjoyed watching them play.

Then we all got into the space cart ride. It was a bit tricky to drive, but it was fun. We had to be careful because the kids were with us and we didn’t want them to get scared. At one point, my wife’s car started spinning, and it took a lot of effort to stop it, the handling was a little tough, but it was still a blast.

After that, we moved on to the arcade games. I liked that they had games suitable for different age groups, but we also let the kids try the ones meant for older children, and they enjoyed those too. The joy on their faces said it all.

My Father even played some ticket games and did bowling, which I found really fun. Time just flew by 1 to 2 hours passed in no time before we finally decided to stop.

Overall, all the games were a lot of fun. One thing I forgot to mention was the friendly and cooperative staff, who guided us throughout and took care of everything. And the biggest plus point for us was that the entire place was empty, not even a single other person there. It felt like a private tour of an indoor play area. I honestly don’t think we could have enjoyed this much if the place had been crowded with kids.

All videos and pictures are taken through my cell phone and my Father's cell phone.

I always say that I am very lucky in every part of my life — whether it’s about my parents, siblings, or now my wife. I have always found peace in all these relationships. It’s not that I don’t argue with my wife — fights are also a part of love. Just love alone is not enough; every emotion should be part of a relationship, only then can it be strong. Alhamdulillah, it’s been six beautiful years since I got married in 2019.

Mine was an arranged marriage. Yes, I know — looking at my wedding photos and videos, no one would believe it! I had a lot of fun at my wedding and looked very happy, though inside, I was nervous (haha). From the beginning, I always told the truth and never made up big stories about myself. I believe honesty is very important in a good relationship.

Trust is the key — but not blind trust. You should know your partner well — what they are capable of and what their limits are. You can’t use “trust” as an excuse every time you make a mistake, and I’m not perfect either. But with mutual understanding and a healthy level of trust, you can build a good life together.

Another important lesson I’ve learned is to live within your means. I heard this saying in childhood, and it’s helped me throughout life. You should only make promises and take responsibilities that you can actually handle. Luckily, my parents and brothers always support me, so I’ve never felt any lack or stress. And thankfully, I didn’t get a wife who always demands more and more. Yes, small wishes and needs are natural and acceptable.

This year too, we all got together and had a party. We ordered food from outside, and the kids were especially happy — they always love cutting cake on special occasions.

The most special thing about this anniversary was that the cake was made by my dad with his own hands, and my sister-in-law decorated it — as you must’ve seen in the pictures. The cake looked beautiful and tasted even better!

The unforgettable memories of this day were captured on my mobile, and some were taken by my sister-in-law using the Infinix Hot 40i. I just pray that we all continue to live happily and keep smiling always. Please remember us in your prayers.

But today is Sunday, and I felt like sharing some old memories with you all. I was going through my photos and found some pictures from a restaurant visit back in November 2024. I had planned to post them earlier, but finally doing it now.

The restaurant’s name was Agha Katakat and Bar B Q. We ended up there out of necessity. It happened like this: A group of us from the community had gathered for an event, but the program got delayed. Some people went to have tea, and my brother and I decided to go out and find something to eat because we were getting a little hungry.

There wasn’t much on the left side of the venue, so we walked to the right and right next to the event place was this restaurant. We had originally thought about eating something light, maybe fast food, but the name Katakat caught our attention and changed our minds. We decided to try it.

Now let me tell you a bit about Katakat, because I think many of you might find this interesting. It’s a pure Pakistani dish, and it was actually created in Karachi. What’s unique about it is that its name comes from the sound it makes while being cooked “katakat katakat.” That sound is made when the chef chops all the ingredients on a hot flat pan using special tools.

I even recorded a video that day, especially so you could hear the sound and witness the talent of the chef. The chef works in rhythm like music, and the whole point is to finely chop everything on the pan. I may not be describing it perfectly, so I recommend watching the video to understand better. I don’t know when exactly this dish was invented, but today it’s one of the most popular dishes in Karachi.

You can choose what you want in your Katakat like liver, kidney, heart, or even just boneless chicken. All of this is cooked with tomatoes, green chilies, ginger, garlic, coriander, butter, and various spices. The way it all gets chopped and mixed makes it super delicious. I personally love it, but I understand it’s not for everyone.

For example, @shrazi doesn’t enjoy it much, but my father, other brother, and I really liked it that day. We had it with chapati, and honestly, we couldn’t even tell how much we had eaten, it filled our stomachs, but we still wanted more! What started as a light snack turned into a full dinner.

I have to say Agha Katakat didn’t disappoint us. That’s worth mentioning, because not every place makes good Katakat. It takes real skill to cook it well, and not every chef can do it. It might look easy in the video, but it’s actually quite tricky.

The sound of Katakat being cooked is so loud and unique that you can hear it from far away and know exactly what’s being made.

I hope you all enjoyed learning about this unique dish. These days, you can even find the recipe online and try it at home but to be honest, I don’t think it’s a “home-style” dish 😄 Still, if anyone gives it a try, don’t forget to make a post and tag me!

Have fun!

All above pictures and video is taken b by me through my cellphone Infinix Hot4oi.

My brother made this video with his OnePlus phone. We sat at a local place because the gol gappay looked good with a lot of ingredients. Usually, the more you add to gol gappay, the better they taste, but not everyone likes them that way. It depends on if you like sweet and sour flavors. The key part of gol gappay is the sour water in which you dip and fill the gol gappay before eating. Sadly, the gol gappay were stale, which surprised me because this place is always busy and sells many gol gappay daily. Even so, they served us stale gol gappay, which is not good. Customers won't come back if they do this.

The gol gappay were not good, so my brother and sister-in-law ordered gola ganda next. It looked very attractive and colorful, tempting to eat. Crushed ice is topped with different sweet syrups and other things, making it great for the heat. It was okay, not amazing. I told them not to eat too much to avoid a sore throat, but they tried it, and I finished it. Hussainabad food street has many new items and stalls, making it hard to choose where to eat and what will be good. Our choice turned out bad because the video shows something that looked good, maybe due to the mobile camera, but it wasn't tasty.

After that, we focused on recording our event. I hope you all liked the video, and credit goes to my big brother.

I live in Karachi myself, but I rarely get the time to explore the whole city, and even if I do get the time, it's so huge that I don't know where to start. The best part about my brother visiting is that I get to see new places and try different kinds of food. We explore many new spots, and during one of these adventures, we ended up at Baithak restaurant. I had never heard of or seen this restaurant before, and when I saw it, I was amazed. It was beautifully decorated and had a unique look. This recommendation came from another one of my brothers.

The restaurant was beautifully decorated, not only from the outside but also from the inside, and it had a unique theme. They really put some thought into it. We might have arrived too early because there weren’t many people, and not many items were available from the menu. Only a few things were available for order, so we ordered club sandwiches and special tea, while my sister-in-law ordered Kashmiri tea. While we waited for our order, my brother and I decided to explore the first floor. It wasn’t open to customers yet; the owner mentioned that the space was still under construction or needed some final touches.

The walls were filled with wall art, each piece more impressive than the last. The artwork was incredibly professional and perfectly styled. I found it amazing, as I had never seen a restaurant so full of art before. Another thing was the artificial eagles, which looked almost real, adding to the unique atmosphere. The seating area was very comfortable as well. I have to admit, the place looked fantastic, but they might need to focus more on their food offerings since they were a bit lacking in that area.

The sandwich was just okay, but the tea was excellent—so strong and flavorful that it refreshed us completely. The video I uploaded, along with most of the high-quality pictures, were taken by my brother on his phone, while a few were taken on my phone. I thought of visiting this restaurant again at a later time to check if their food quality improves, because while the restaurant looks fantastic, it won't matter much if the food isn't up to the mark. We had a great time and enjoyed ourselves before saying goodbye and heading home.

She invited all of us and she wished all of us to dance at her wedding. She shared insider that just because of us and our Halla Gulla style, she insisted her family members and arranged Mehndi Ceremony which was not the part of their wedding plan. Her high expectations from all of us and specially from me, was raising day by day. It is never easy to start dancing and partying anonymously in someone's wedding but just because of her, we started talking about it. I mean just talking and talking, no rehearsals or practice to dance together.

On 26th Feb, we all gathered at the venue. wowow no doubt, the venue was superb and excellent. I really liked the atmosphere, everything was looking amazing. Specially for foodies, it was something special as we saw the menu. There was a lot to explore in food gallery. I was more focus on dancing so just waiting for the right time to start the program. Bride & Groom had an entry and they stopped at the dance floor. Both of them were looking amazing. They start the party with a bit of hip hop and we all gathered and joined the party without wasting time. I did my best to entertain everyone, I am not a professional dancer but its all about enjoying and making others happy and spreading smiles.

I was not expecting of the support I get from my fellow colleagues cum friends. They did wonderfully well and added their part to this party. We successfully made our friend happy on her wedding day. The best part was when our boss joined the party and had a bit of awesome steps with us. It was splendid.

The Dinner was delicious with lots of things to try and eat. I just loved the waffles and Lassi. However, others enjoyed each and everything in the menu. It was a wonderful day with lots of smiles and happiness.

The very next day was the main event, and we were all invited with our families. It was the first time our families would be meeting each other, and we were incredibly excited. We arranged for our families to be seated at one table so they could get to know each other better. While I wasn't sitting in one place, I roamed around, checking on others and keeping an eye on my boss's table.

The bride and groom once again looked amazing in their outfits. My wife and kids thoroughly enjoyed the food, which, once again, had a mouth-watering menu. The menu was wonderfully crafted for this main event, and honestly, the food was exceptionally delicious. We had a great time together, making it a memorable event, especially for our company, where we all gathered and enjoyed with our families.

Best wishes to the newlywed couple for a fun-filled future together.

As soon as we entered the Magicland, the wonderful characters surrounded us, dancing and making the atmosphere full of fun. IT is nice to see such kind of activities and they were really doing it well. After that, my Parents took couple of rides and without wasting any more time, we headed for the Dolphin Show.

It was all crowded and audience were full of excitements specially kids to see the activities and performance of that lovely Dolphin. Dolphin is one of those animals which looked so innocent and adorable by her face. It looks like she is always smiling and doesn't look dangerous at all.

The show gets started with some Arabic music and the trainer make his Dolphin start the show with some awesome moves and jumps all around the pool. With every performance, Dolphin is rewarded with her prize by the trainer, some fishes and her food to give her more energy.

Dolphin waved the audience with her tail. Then she gets a toothbrush and the trainer washed her teeth and then she gargled to wash her mouth, wow it was amazing. She picked the balls and items so well and sharply, whatever is thrown by her trainer in the pool, she picked it so well and took it back to the trainer. This performance is worth watching. Well, it was something new for all of us.

Dolphin doing hula hoop perfectly and then singing a song for all of us. She gave her best performance and it was a big fun time for all of us. I really liked her dance moves and the way she was moving around with the ball in her hands, this is a real hard work and one of the best performance to watch.

In the end, she rang a bell and then waved her tail to say good bye to all of us.

Later, we enjoyed the Media Production City through a train ride. It is the place where movies and dramas are picturized. My Parents enjoyed this ride a lot. After that, my Parents had some fun time with the swings and then we had some food in the cafeteria where characters were dancing with the kids. We had a wonderful day at Magicland.

I heard about Gappa Raja at work from one of my colleague and shared the same with my Eldest bro. its like a father of Gol Gappa, bigger in size. Gol Gappa is a famous snack in sub-continent and it has other names as well like Pani Puri, Pani K batasha etc etc. However, people like change and in doing so, I am not sure who introduced this Gappa Raja first in the market but it also becomes famous. But it is not commonly served in all the restaurants. There are few restaurants where you will find this type of unique dishes.

When we discussed this with my other bro, he knew one of those restaurants and its quite famous so we headed to that restaurant: Chiller Party & Manpasand Food Valley located at Maskan Chowrangi, a nice and decent food street in Karachi.

We ordered one Gappa Raja, we were not exactly there for dine in but just to film the making of Gappa Raja. We took the permission and get into their kitchen area where the experts were busy making these snacks for their customers. Kitchen area was neat and tidy and it felt good to see the cleanliness of our restaurants. My Eldest Bro, who is expert in making movies from his cell phone, started filming and chit chatting with the staff. While I was busy taking his pictures doing it. Lots and lots of stuffing in Gappa Raja, I am not sure how many items he added in this dish but in the end, it was like who is going to eat it. It’s a complete meal, not just a snack. It was looking amazing.

There I saw a basket type stuff and asked what it is. The staff told us that it is Katori Chatori, I asked them to make one for us. a basket made up of fried dough and they filled it with Chaat material. Both of these items were mouthwatering just by looking at them. I thought we should keep them safe in show case instead of eating it lol

We enjoyed eating these two items and its definitely worth tasting. So delicious and different taste to experience. I liked Katori Chatori a lot. Gappa Raja was nice too.

Later we had couple of drinks, a limca and a Sharbat. They were just ok, nothing so special about these drinks. Or it could be because we had those wonderful items and we didn’t like anything after that. Highly recommended.

All above pictures are taken by me and the video is created and edited by my Eldest Bro.

One of my colleague cum friend was getting married in end of December and he invited me along with other work buddies in couple of events. The day we get the invitation, we were so excited. I was the one who made the first event very important and created a hype so others were very excited. I made others imagining the event where we all were dancing and singing. I suggested that we should select a song and do some rehearsal and practice with the same steps to perform on one of his events. Most of the buddies agreed and then we headed to one of our best dancers in the office, which everyone witnessed in one of the picnics. We took his advice and he agreed to show us some steps and also agreed to be the part of this performance. It was all just gossiping, no one took it seriously although it give a good time pass in office while discussing about it. We spent two weeks on this discussion but inside, everyone knows that nothing is going to happen on the event lol

I was just motivating them for the dance whereas I was not sure whether I would be going to attend the event or not because on the same day, it was birthday of my Nephew and I had other plans with my family. When I shared this news, I was shocked to see the reaction of others. They all started pushing and insisting me for the event. Finally, I decided to attend the event and it was a good decision because we had a lot of fun and a good laugh together with my work buddies.

It was the “Mehndi” event and it’s all about enjoying the party while watching others dancing and moving your body with the beats. Our Boss was there too and he was right on time because he loves to be punctual but people of Karachi are not same including me. We entered the hall around 10:30 pm when Groom was getting ready for his entry. Drum beats were all around and his siblings, cousins were dancing on their way to take him to the stage. When he arrived on the stage, I took the opportunity to make him dance a bit and started dancing infront of him. He was smiling and of course feeling shy of dancing but finally he moved his hands and feets with the beats. His Mother and brother were really excited to see him dancing. That moment was all crazy, my work buddies enjoyed watching me all alone there and just one of them joined me for few seconds that too after I insisted her a lot. No one was expecting it from me, they thought I would be doing nothing but sitting in the corner and waiting for the dinner to be served. But they were wrong, I did enjoyed the party and make others enjoyed it too. Our Boss was happy to see us altogether in this way. Dinner was awesome, it was delicious. We had a good time altogether.

Next event was Baraat and we reached there a bit late, at 11 pm, missed few funny item song dance. It was the same venue, and majority of work buddies joined us there. it was a nice decent party, we took pictures with the Bride and Groom to make it memorable. Wishing them a lifetime filled with love, joy, and countless beautiful moments together.

While thinking of helping others, we just can give some money or by sharing some food but what my bro did was something exceptional and unique. Couple of months ago, when he was in Pakistan, he was surprised to see so many restaurants and stalls selling Momos. Well, yes it’s a bit of new thing in Pakistan but we are familiar of this dish and in fact, its one of our favorite dish. I mean we four brothers, are just in love with Momos. its an another story, coming back to the main topic, after tasting Momos in so many shops and restaurants, he just liked the Momos of H&H which is located in Hussainabad Food street.

Let me share in details, Momo is Nepali dish. It is dumplings, which is a famous dish in China, along with its special sauce which means it there is no sauce then they are just dumplings. So, selling it with the name of Momo is not appropriate plus people in Pakistan think of it a dish of India. So, basically, we are not having the actual momos in Pakistan, its just a similar thing. After trying at so many places, my bro liked it at H&H. this food stall H&H of Mr. Jamil was not so attractive and even though, his Momo were so nice and fantastic, there were no customers. On the other hand, the street have too many other stalls of Momos and they were crowded and having so many customers. But their Momos were not up to the mark.

My bro had an idea, he said why don’t we make Nepali Sauce at home and give it to Mr. Jamil at H&H, also make a promotional clip to attract people from all over Karachi for free tasting of authentic Nepali Momo with its sauce. While hearing it for the first time, we were like why should we do this blah blah. It would not work and too many negative remarks. My Bro was eager to help Mr. Jamil in doing some free marketing and promoting his stall so, we agreed to be in the team and will do as instructed. We met Mr. Jamil the next day and shared the idea, he was all good with it because there was nothing to lose in it and if it works, he will get the all benefit. My bro made a clip and shared it on his instagram page. People started asking for the location and a lot of people responding on the post.

We were happy to see the response on that clip and as planned, on weekend, my Sister in Law made the special Nepali Sauce and we took it to H&H. Mr. jamil was all set as my Bro told him to make extra Momos because our family will be eating half of it and half for free testing. Rest its upto him to make how many as per routine days. I was shocked to see that people actually showed up for free testing plus we took their honest feedbacks, no fake. It was an amazing experiment. Mr. Jamil of H&H was a happy man. i was a salesman on that day, asking people to taste the Momos with Nepali sauce. None gave negative remarks and many of the customers bought for their families to take home. Wonderful response and the idea was perfectly successful. My Bro gave the recipe to Mr. Jamil so he can have the same sauce and carry on with the Nepali Momo trend. My Bro taught all of us something new and I am happy that I was a part of this team which helped Mr. Jamil with selfless service and it really felt good.

@barbara-orenya I hope you will like my post on kindness

I have heard a lot about this restaurant but genuinely, you can only give feedback for those which you experience by yourself. No doubt, the atmosphere and environment was splendid and outclass, the smell of the food was all over the street which is attracting people to dine in there. they have open kitchen and one can see how they are cooking the food and the quality of their food. They do have a big menu card, almost everything is there. it is good to see such type of restaurants where there is variety to choose from as different people have different choices. Perfect venue for our family where we all sit together on the carpet except our parents who were seated on the chair.

The host, my elder bro, who planned all this was the one who ordered the food after checking with everyone what they would like to have for dinner. But as a starter, he ordered AFGHANI BOTI, which was wowow I must say it was so delicious. My wife don’t like lamb/mutton but she also ate it in confusion hehehe as I told her that its Beef Boti. However, one can totally see the different as the fatty oil was all over it. Starter made a good start.

I am mouthwatering while writing this post lol the real order was massive, we had kababs, fish, Sajji, Karahi, Handi and I even don’t remember. Everything and every dish was well cooked and yummy. Not a single loop hole. Everything was exceptionally tasty. Kids enjoyed the food as well and had dinner with great enthusiasm just because of their taste. My Eldest bro, who is a super foodie, give wonderful remarks and enjoyed the food. Five out of five all the way. Service, food, venue whatever you say, it was so nice and made our day a memorable one. Kids enjoyed the ice cream with their Grandparents later on. Remarkable dinner with family at Balochistan Sajji, highly recommended.

Thanks to my eldest bro who captured these clips and pictures through his cell phone Samsung SM-A715F and shared his experience on facebook at https://fb.watch/ovto4FH9RL/

I would love to share this story of mine travelling in the peak time of Covid just to share the happiness. It wasn’t easy though but I was very much positive about my trip. I took a bus from Karachi to Peshawar. It usually takes 22-24 hours but this time it took 36 hours because the bus A/C was not working properly and it took too many stops. I was too much tired because of this journey and finally after reaching Peshawar, took some rest at our community place and then very next day got ready for a fun ride with Mr. Shakeel to Mingora Swat.

This is not the first time travelling with him but yes, it was for the first time he was driving his own car, usually we hire a car from Peshawar to Mingora but due to Covid, there was not much movement and no entry in Swat. Mr. Shakeel got some useful links and contacts which helped us to pass the barriers.

I am sharing here some videos I made on my way to Mingora from Peshawar. This was a memorable ride, we had a lot of fun. Mr. Shakeel is a jolly person who non-stop made me laugh through his jokes. It is 4 hours of drive but time passed by very quickly. The path from mountains, ups and downs, curves, it is not easy to drive on these roads. A professional drive like Mr. Shakeel is needed to have a good journey. There were tunnels in the mountains, newly built and were still having construction work which helped us to reach our destination quickly. I really enjoyed this trip, full of mountain sceneries and adventurous road trip.

I was happy to reach Mingora safe and sound and then shared the sweets of happiness with my community. Spent couple of days there and then returned back to Karachi the same way. I hope you like the beauty of Pakistan which I shared through my video clips.

Shopping is not an easy job to do but just to give company to my brother and sister in law, I joined them in this mind boggling task. First we headed to one of the busiest street PIB market which we luckily found empty because of good time slot selection. It was a hot day and people were not interested in shopping so we were happy to have clear streets and no traffic. It was too humid and weather was overcast, looks like we will be having a bit of rain. My brother bought some unstitched cloths and then we headed to the tailor shop without wasting any time so they can carry these stitched cloths with them to Sweden. I thought we bought some expensive suits but as per Mr. Tailor Master, these cloths were not expensive however, the material and clothing are good but in reasonable price. This gives us a satisfactory feeling of buying something in good price.

As expected, it starts raining and the weather turned awesome, still it was too humid and we all were sweating a lot. After giving instructions to tailor, we move forward to our next task of buying some cool and amazing decoration piece for my niece. We searched on Google for handicraft shops and found some amazing shops inside the main Saddar market. It was a nice experience of buying such cool stuff. I don’t know much about truck art but my brother told me its very famous and popular all over the world. Then the last task was to exchange some cloths in Atrium mall and that task was too successfully completed without any hurdle because exchange and refund policy is too strict in such markets and malls but the seller and shop owner was very cooperative. Now the final task was lunch, we were very hungry because it was too late for lunch. We had a delicious and tasty burger with cold drink to finish our shopping day.

I have been a part of Hive community for a long time and always wanting to boost and promote hive to others. I had a look on that post couple of days ago and decided to make one on weekend. I was very confident that I will do it very easily. While others were sharing their experience on Neoxian City discord channel, one of our friend said that it is really hard to pick which one to choose, nothing seems going right when capturing the video. I was like it is not that hard, what you guys talking about and blah blah. I was taking it too easy.

Now the time came, it was weekend. I just wasted almost whole day in watching TV, movies. Finally I decided to make my video hoping to be selected or become the part of that freechain film. It is a simple question and it was said that you can also make it in your mother language but I choose to make it in English. I made a script in my mind, opened all the lights of my room to get better light, not too dark. I was overconfident that I will make it in one go, its not a big deal.

Ready get set, GO!!! Ooppss I just slipped my tongue in between delivering the statement what I kept in my mind for so long. Take one failed me badly. I was feeling crazy so to cover up my nervousness, I started acting awkward. I was making fun of myself and it was all getting captured. Take two didn’t go further as I just got stuck with HIVE work lol. Then I kept on trying and trying hard to deliver my message without getting stuck anywhere but it gets harder and harder and my nervousness was all over me. I was acting funny to feel better and to get a smiley face while saying those words. Finally, after 8 takes, I got the ninth one perfectly delivered but then it was too long because it needs to be not more than 15 seconds aaaahhh what a mess.

The thing which I was taking too easy didn’t turned out to be the same. Now, I know how hard it is for actors to perform infront of big cameras and so many people around. I cant even make one shot in my room all alone. After discussing this matter with my bro, he advised me to edit and make that video short by using Clipchamp because I was not ready to go for it again or else it would have taken 50 takes to get the final and correct one. At last, I uploaded the edited one to Google Drive as instructed and found peace in my life.

I would like to invite all of you to be a part of this activity and share your thoughts with us on what HIVE means to you.
