Lyrics :
Meri ankhon mein tuu samai hai
maire sapnon main tu bassi
teri yaadon kay samandar mein
Dooba hun mein bhi kaheen
teri talaash hai
Is dil ko is dil ko
teri talaash hai
Is dil ko is dil ko
meri palkon par ik aanso hai
is anso ko behnay day
jo pehlay na mein keh sakka
Aj mujhko woh kehnay day
teri talaash hai
is dil ko is dil ko
teri talaash hai
is dil ko is dil ko

“Koi Apna Nahin”

koi apna nahin hai…
jisay samjhaaun…
dil main kia hai…

koi paraya hi sahih…
kabhi to aaye…
apna banaye…

jaanay na…
koi yahan pe…
kia apna hai…
kia sapna hai..

na koi…
paas hai mere…
na koi ab…
saath raha hai…

aankhon mein…
aik chehra hai…
jo apna tha…
ab paraya hai…

dil mein…
kayi armaan hain…
jo sunta nahin koi…
na keh paata huun main…

kia khata…
main ne ki hai…
k main yunhi…
jal raha…

tanhaa…
in raahon pe…
kis oor main…
barh raha…

koi saath nahin hai…
mujhe sab ne kiun…
tanha chora….

zinda agar huun aise…
to kaisa hoga…
marna mera…

Coke Studio 2010 Finale
Episode 05, ‘Realisation’, airs 01 August 2010!

(Pakistan, 26 July 2010) In its fifth and final episode for 2010, Coke Studio’s annual voyage concludes with the spirit of ‘Realisation’. Coke Studio’s third edition revolved around the intricacies of inspiration, creation and evolution, and the process of discovery as the elements of reason, will and resolve come together to culminate in the realization of dreams and goals. The last episode ‘Realisation’ is an acknowledgment of this process.

The episode will feature five distinct tracks, ranging from profoundly Sufic to movingly patriotic. Tune in to experience Tina Sani’s rendition of ‘Nawai Ney’, derived from Maulana Rumi’s ‘Masnavi’. She is accompanied by flautist Baqir Abbas, who returns to the sets of Coke Studio and brings the analogy to life with his soothing flute play. ‘Realisation’ also features Amanat Ali with his unique performance of the patriotic anthem ‘Ae Wattan Kay Sajeelay Jawanon’, a tribute to the legendary Madam Noor Jehan. Rizwan and Muazzam with their qawwal ensemble deliver another exhilarating Sufi number ‘Jana Jogi Dey Naal’, originally penned by mystic Baba Bulleh Shah. For her third performance at Coke Studio, Sufi singer Sanam Marvi renders a Sachal Sarmast work, ‘Manzil-e-Sufi’. Brilliantly unique, this improvisational track stands out not only for rhythm and melody but the incorporation of various modern influences. Abida Parveen’s indomitable presence and inimitable style is showcased a final time in this season of Coke Studio with ‘Soz-e-Ishq’. With her soulful strains, Parveen takes us into depths of Sufism and evokes passion, love and spirituality. Just two weeks short of Pakistan’s 63rd birth anniversary, Coke Studio also brings special messages by artists featured in Coke Studio 2010. Do join us as we celebrate unity, faith and discipline!

‘Realisation’ airs on Sunday, 01 August 2010 a 10:00 PM on television channels, radio stations and online, across Pakistan, with three repeats shows! With the fifth episode, Coke Studio’s bi-weekly journey concludes for this year.

VJ Fatima – Interview by Tayyaba Khushi

PMR. What is your birth place? Where have you spend your childhood?
Fatima: My birthplace is Karachi =) the best city in the world! I spent my childhood right here amidst the changing times, i travelled a lot while I was younger, but hometown is Karachi.

PMR. How did you become a VJ?
Fatima: Interesting story here =). I came with Ahmed to audition, just to support him (we’ve been best friends since we’ve been kids) So I came along. We auditioned together, for me it was all fun and games, because I thought I didn’t fit the VJ criteria , even though I had just finished a sitcom for ARY Digital. But i guess they thought differently and here I am almost 4 years later giving this interview =)

PMR. Your Show ‘BIndass Bollywood’ , how do you find it bindaas?
Faima: Oh absolutely!!!! Bindaas means care free, fun and devil may care! I am like that and my show is like that! We get calls from all sorts of people who put us in all sorts of situations with their questions treating it unlike any other request show. Its quite a treat, not knowing what to expect can be so much fun, so bindaas. And I’ve got a rockstar bindaas team as well – Salman and Kashif and Saud.

PMR. Your evergreen bollywood song so far?
Fatima: Upph yeh kya sawal ker dia? Thats like asking me to pick between my love of sleeping and love of eating!! VERY difficult! But if you really want to know, from the top of my head, its a song from a movie called GHAR with Rekha, “tere bina jiya jaye na” – there are lots more! Im a huge fan of Lata and Rafi, and I love all sorts of music. I believe the best songs are whatever is medicine to your mind in that moment.

PMR. ‘All For Love’, who came up with the concept
Faima: Our boss, Danish Khawaja, asked us to come up with a concept for a show, with Ahmed and I in it together. So one day amidst our chattering friends we were sitting and brainstorming. Everyone was sitting around young and in love and all of us had problems and issues with partners and loved ones. The idea just clicked like a lightbulb! Ahmed and i thought it was perfect for our generation!

PMR. How successfully have you solved people`s love problem?
Fatima: I can say that I am theeee love guru! Friends and family always come to me for solutions. And the best part is that I love listening and I love helping. It makes me feel like, if I cannot make a larger difference its okay as long as I am making a smaller one. Its like a ripple effect. And it makes me happy to see people happy in their relationships. We get genuine callers and I think we help them out with all our experience. Which is to say is a lot between us co-hosts!

PMR. Do you yourelf believe in love?
Fatima: Thats a secret I’ll never tell

PMR. If you were to judge mutually, in a relationship, who creates problem (boys or girls)?
Fatima: Honestly, thats a very black and white question. People forget that gray also exists. Its not a gender issue, its a personality issue. People have a different frame of mind, goals, perspectives at different stages in life thats why clashes arise and problems are created. When they are its upto both to resolve them.

PMR.How would you describe VJ Ahmed as a co-host in ‘All For Love’
Fatima: Ahmed’s done this show since its inception, with different co-hosts. I just think he does an amazing job with me [that was a joke - maybe not ] On a serious note though, he just keeps getting better and better. It also has to do with the fact that there is absolutely no script, Ahmed and I interact pretty much like we do in real life and it translates great on screen. He drives me nuts on the show with his jokes and jibes, in a good way. In-fact we have had a lot of callers call in and take my side khe khe, and Ahmed gets all sad and I have to make it up to him. This show wouldn’t be as awesome as it is without Ahmed!

PMR. Who has been your ultimate source of support?
Fatima: My parents and my elder brother have always been very supportive of my decisions and I’ve always asked them for advise with everything I do. God has given me the energy and the passion and the drive to make my dreams come true. Thank you God and thank you to my family. Love you.

PMR. If you were not a VJ the what had you been?
Fatima: I think I can answer that question fairly enough Ive always been very multi faceted. I enjoy exploring new avenues, doing things side by side, just keeping busy. I am also a certified aviator, a professional pilot. MashAllah se Im both!

PMR. At the end of the day how do you relief your stress?
Fatima: I’ve got cats! They’re the most adorable creatures that exist on planet earth! Coming back from a rough day, they cuddle up and demand my complete attention. They just give you that sweet innocent face and you forget that there is anything wrong in the world.

PMR. What message would you give to the boys and girls who want to become a VJs.
Fatima: Its not about being pretty or hot or macho or well built. Its a real job. As a VJ we have to connect with our audience, with our musicians and artists. We have to know about our industry, especially about music. You cannot face the camera and fool the audience because they are smart! Its a great job, with some amazing perks but its not all fun and games. You’ve got to work hard to make an impression, and work even harder to retain that impression.

PMR. What impression does PMR (pakmediarevolution.net) make on you?
Fatima: I love the fact that PMR gives attention where it is most deserved, to our own. You guys promote Pakistani talent, whereas others seem to be forgetting and investing in international artists. I, myself log on to PMR as a platform to see whats going on, the latest buzz, the newest music. You guys are doing an excellent job! Good luck and keep it going.

Interview:
Tayyaba Khushi

Artist: King Ly Chee
Song: This Is Our New Beginning

King Ly Chee is a hardcore band from Hong Kong, China. The founder/singer of this band is Pakistani (the rest of the band members are Chinese)! His name is Rizwan and he started the band in 1999. Having accomplished as MUCH as a heavy band is able to accomplish in this otherwise commercial-pop dominated world, he can only dream that one day his hard-working band can go to his birthplace (he was born in Karachi but grew up in Hong Kong) for shows or a tour.

“11 years and still here breathing Hong Kong…it’s in our hearts and pumps through our veins. We are a Hong Kong band and proud to be from this city. Then why do we always talk about problems here? Because we want our beautiful home to be the best it can be…nothing wrong with that.” – King Ly Chee (taken from their website)

King Ly Chee has been touring all over Asia for the past 11 years. They did a DIY tour of Eastern Europe in 2006 that took them to Germany, Slovakia, Czech Republic, and Austria. This summer they’re playing festivals in Singapore (Baybeats), Korea (Busan Rock Festival) and China. They’ve had the immense pleasure to tour and perform with the following metal and hardcore bands: Korn, Horse the Band, Himsa, 100 Demons, Envy, Comeback Kid, Terror, First Blood, Bane, Shadows Fall, Darkest Hour, NOFX, Bouncing Souls, Born From Pain, Glassjaw, and many others…

MEMBERS
Brian – guitar
Riz – vocals
Egas – drums
Joe – bass
Kent – guitar

In the LIVE video below you can watch King Ly Chee perform at the Philippines’ biggest rock festival called “SUMMER SLAM” where they performed in front of 32,000 people and with the singer of Shadows Fall (Brian Fair) standing on the stage watching them!

“Thank you to all the Pakistanis all over the world that are going to start taking an interest in this band!!! It means the world to me!!! A big HUGE thank you to PMR for promoting ALL sorts of Pakistani music to the world – it’s because of you that finally people in the Pakistani world will start to hear of us!” – Rizwan Farooqi (singer of King Ly Chee)
