Awesome partying.

After Pakistan won the T20 WOrld Cup, spontaneous celebrations started in Islamabad. I was there at the Jinnah Super market along with fellow swimmers from the Sindh and NWFP swimming teams and we just got carried away. Dancing and shouting slogans in the streets, we tired ourselves out. Here are a few videos of the celebrations which took place at Jinnah Super. I think me and my mates are somewhere in there. Enjoyed it a lot..:D



Pakistan have indeed made a come back..

After facing a long run of defeats, Pakistan beat Sri Lanka and claimed their first ever Twenty20 World Cup on Sunday night. I was in Islamabd at the time representing Sindh at the 49th National Swimming Championships and I saw the end of the match on a small public TV in the middle of Aabpara market. And I can say that I have never before seen the enthusiasm amongst the populace which I saw after Pakistan won the T20 World Cup. I was part of the spontaneous celebrations at the Jinnah Super market which continued late into the night and the level of enthusiasm and suport there among the people surprised me.

I am SO back.

The last post I published was on the 9th of May, 2009. Its been over a month since I posted anything on my blog. In that time, I've given 3 O Level exams, been to Islamabad, Lahore and then Islamabad again, participated in the National Swimming Championships and been invited to swim for WAPDA. And I also partied my butt off at the celebrations in Islamabad after Pakistan won the T20 World Cup. And I can say, it was FUN!!!
