The management wasn’t responsible for that. The students were.

Bring it back.

Haayeeeeee, humara campus kitna khoobsurat hai!!!

Those moments which welcomed the class of 2011 were worth to be marked in history, for we were and still are the most harahoorish of all!! welcomed with the designer’s hype in TIP, and the design department treat, we had no idea that the best time was yet to come…

I remember the very first day me, zahab and sara promising each other that we will wear covered shoes coz we didn’t wanted our feet to go ugly in just a few weeks and we used to call komal by the name of Gul Paara….I wonder why, I guess shazzy was behind this scene and then all of a sudden Taha and his annoying-ness used to wash away all our choti choti khushyain for ours was a small wonder world, I still remember that Yo- hip guy called Hashim, always on the nerve of shazzy and many others….:P as time flew with fights, laughter, cries, tears and joy, every day was filled with a memory to be cherished for years to come.

We weren’t sisters nor brothers, but every moment spent in TIP brought us even closer than ever before, for we used to share the craziest, the nastiest, the chaporiest, the joyest tareen baatein.

In second shot, another two celebrity speaker joined, Mr Mujahid Brelvi, a senior journalist and an anchor for ‘Doosra pehlu’ on CNBC Pakistan, for the motion on ‘Awam mae intishar k zimaedar hakumati idare hain’, with Haneeya Maryam and Shaukat Mahmood Basra, MPA punjab assembly, speaking against the motion, with Tauseef Haider.

The shows will be aired on October 9th and October 16th tentatively. In the end I would like to thank TIP administration to giving us the opportunity to represent TIP for the show and also the new first year students for their support as audience in the show, hope they get their attendance for skipping classes that day .

At about 6 pm the basant started, there were few kites in the sky, as the wind wasn’t favorable, but still we had people dancing on the beats of the DHOOL. About half an hour later, after the basant started, the STING hummer came in, with loads of free STING, how can you resist when getting something for free?? (Even I had 10… :p) people enjoyed free STING, kite flying (a few) and pervez bhai ki chat (how can I forget that) soon both the bands arrived, and as the day light ended the basant was almost over. People were anxious to get in the amphitheatre. Just after the band was done with their sound check, the announcements were made and people started entering the theatre.

As the concert started, first performance was by the ASHES, later when the KARAVAN came on the stage, they just rocked the show. People started shouting like hell and banging their heads on the beats and then those shouts of “Once more… Once more…” from the audience win over the band to sing till they were exhausted completely. The show was extremely good and was a big hit by team TISF.

In the end, I would again like to thank everyone, each and every member of organizing committee, and each student of TIP who really made it happening. Thank you everyone, and for those who were part of organizing committee will receive a certificate from TISF, please give your details to your respective TISF elected committee head.

Art is collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.

It’s very true that when you create something of your own, you experience a feeling beyond amazement. A similar feeling was experienced on the 5th of March 2009, Thursday when a bunch of designers (tdt1 and tdt2) escorted by Sir Munawar Ali and Sir Shamoon Haider along with their families including their adorable daughters Khunsha and Aaliya, went to Sea View for sand sculpturing, which was an incredible experience.

We left from the city office around nine in the morning and the weather was pretty much in our favour at that time though.

Okay now talking about the laborious work that we poor souls did :p

First we made a circle of 100 feet in diameter so that we cud mark off the area for the sculptures. And then we had to dig out wet mud from places near the water and bring that mud and throw it in the circle, well it all sounds very easy when you write it down but believe me it felt like child labor.

The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape.

– Pablo Picasso

We used spades and buckets and wat not to carry as much mud as we could, but we soon lost hope of collecting enough mud even if we dug all day, so our two smart peers, namely Komal of tdt2 and Muneeb of tdt1 went till the McDonalds area where the construction work was in progress and hired the crane wala for sometime so that he cud help us with the digging and pouring of the mud, clever na!!!
Once we had enough mud for the sculptures, we divided ourselves into groups and got to work. We used help from toy animals to make our sculptures, we made a lion head and a fish along with a man swimming, and later in the evening we made a sea horse face and the KU students made a human face.

The most dim-witted, funny and cute things happened when we were busy working, not to forget the Snake wala came along, and we got ourselves busy watching the snake dancing. And then there were Khunsha and Aaliya who were playing in the mud and making things out of their own endearing imagination and thoughts.

We all really worked hard to make the sculptures look quite perfect and I cant forget that we couldn’t get the ears of the lion right in place and were making, destroying, making, destroying it, and finally came to the conclusion that its alright doesn’t matter if its not perfect, we cant really make a flawless one either.

When we were done with the sculptures, our stomachs growled and we plead our teachers to go for a time out and let’s go grab something to eat. So we headed towards KFC and McDonalds, we didn’t had much choice so we settled for them anyway.
We refreshed ourselves and the washrooms were left in nothing but mud and dirt all over the place. So we stuffed our face and relaxed down a bit and then headed back to the sea. This time we were in no mood to work again so some of us just laid down and enjoyed the view, some of us who were brave enough to go inside the “pollutant- free” water dipped our feet regardless of all the things we had already heard and seen about the water at sea view.
We even collected some of the most astonishing sea shells with unbelievable patterns and colours.
All in all the experience was really remarkable, I could never forget it, besides the fact that I have a horrible tan and some of us were like, “mehnat ka yeh phaal mila ka mou hi kala hugaya!!!”

We all had some real solid fun, which really boosted our spirits, I would like to thank our design faculty for making this trip possible and being with us to help and encourage us.

Cheers to all =)
