Dear Shehz, 2aliph, Instantexcess ...

Thanks a lot for coming .. it was very nice to see you all in person.

I wished i could have spent more times in Canada and been able to do more interaction (well for beginers .. I should have bought a Canadian mobile on the first place !).

I am back in one piece to Abu Dhabi, let's see how much of jetlag is going to hit me when I sink in the bed !

PS : Pity Sobank could not make it.

================================================================================

Well i hope must7 dont mind it :) The topic has gone so old I think it needs to include some history.

well here goes the first ever meeting incident of meeting of three pdfers who were completely stranger to each other. This first meeting also marks the beginning of a tradition which is now almost 3 years old. To be honest, I didn't think that it will catch a fire like this but it eventually did.

Almost a year later, must7 showed his interest in meeting when he comes to toronto. We were ready for that. we were told that he will be in toronto in october. So Shehz and I were gearing up for that one. I found out that I have to leave toronto and travel 16 hours to north. But that was ok cause I was supposed to be back in time. So i was not worried. month of october comes and other people wish to meet too. The hesitation was gone cause Shehz and I would always talk about our meetings on pdf. So the "dont meet strange people from forum" taboo was becoming kosher. So other people joined in. Unfortunately, I, who was so camera ready for this meeting was held up in work in northern ontario unexpectedly. So I never showed up. And this is how the mass meeting of pdfers of toronto started. From that day of october 2008, we have not looked back. almost a year later, still the original group meets almost every second week.

So here is the first open mention of our first meeting by shehz

I didn't go to Lahore as such bud.
It was Toronto to Karachi, Via Lahore, touch & Go.

My Pics, Hmmmm, think not, at-least not for now.
However, I will be meeting up with Sobank for some Chai - Chit Chat (CCC), once in Toronto.


And then came the D-Day. Story of which is faithfully done unfaithfully by shehz in here. Go read it. funny stuff.

Just to show you, how successful we are, No other community of pdfers have been able to replicate 1/10 of what we have done.

Uk pdfers tried to copy the trend but it has not become that successful yet. But you UK guys should not be discouraged. It took us almost one and half year from first few members to become a practical party of 10. You guys will get there too that is if you want it to be open party. just keep it simple and make it about meeting and not food and outing. trust me you will have fun. Oh and leave pdf at the door. we talk about everything related to Pakistan but not whats going in pdf.

Special thanks goes to Shehz and double double if they did not agree to the first meeting, perhaps we never had this. It will also be wrong to not mention the interest of must7. Buddy I am looking forward for your next visit.

Its time to fold this post now :)

no picture of meeting for the other pdf Member ?

Absolutely correct, we go too involved in our usual political discussions and completely forgot the photo session ... let alone the "leg pulling" story of 2aliph5 ! hahaha

^ That was leg pulling.
And the nerve, he tried to pull my leg!

One correction Mustu, we had another PDF member join us as well, DoubleDouble.

Assalam alaikum all,

I love pulling legs. :$

Yes, it was a very nice meeting you all. I really enjoyed. I look forward keeping in touch with you guys on consistent basis.

Best part was that none of you had any mustasche which was quite a relief !! Lol.

AA: aa

dont tell me you afraid of men with mustaches :)

no pics ... :(?

Pics ka kya karo gay bhai ...

Kya rishta dayna hai?

LOL ...


----------------------


Definetly an excellent meet up would love to get togeather some time in the future. And a Thank You note for Must7, 2 Aliph 5 & Shehz saab to join myself :D

0000 ........ and Must7 Bhai .... Kyanay Ka Bahut Bahut Shukriya

He has a goatie.
And Must had a moustache, sat with him in his car, perhaps that's why the phobia of moustaches.

Whats wrong with a man with a moustache?

Well it was nice that you all had a good time. Next time atleast ask us to join u all as a courtesy only. It would be nice.

We did, and that's where Sobank said he can't make it, and that's where Aliph said he wanted to join us.
And besides, you're sitting way far away on an island next to Australia.

Sobank .. while I too had a booking for playing golf on the same day .. but I went for the meeting and it was worth it. Mind you .. it was very encouraging to see co-posters united to meet each other in life. You can imagine how time went buy that I forget to even take a picture of all of us.

Also it was very encouraging to see that all posters are doing well in foreign land and are not just computer geeks glued to the screens !

Sobank : I am sure you will feel the same when you meet all of us next time !!

Shehz : Thanks for filling in with a picture ! hahaha

Kya rishta dayna hai?

Hahaha .. for that I am sure Instant & Aliph are worthy candidates !! hahaha ...

yea, it was an excellent meet up as well. I am surprised that it wasn't pulled off earlier given that I have been posting on this site for about 8 years now (yes, that includes the old ez-board postings).

Let's do something next weekend.
Saturday evening 7ish or Sunday?

Sobank, you're in or out?

saturday evening sounds good

Awaiting their input.

count me in. im free at 7pm. I might need a ride though.

Oh come on must7. dont be touchy :) . I was here.

its just too bad you had to leave so early.

Utha loong ga terey ko kaam sey.
Why 7? I thought you got off at 6.

Well okay but whenever I come to Pakistan InshaAllah than.........

thats right. pick me up at 6pm.

I have a date with a PDF Moderator, woohoo!!
Do I need to bring flowers?

I guess Sobank will be using the toilet paper to ehance the features, prehaps stress ball might be a better idea.

boy you have some evil string in that brain of yours.

Sobank .. touchy .. of course .. not .. I am sure we will have the occasion next year around ! & stop showing us all that sabza shubza do you think we are some cattle or something .. subz ghans ko daikh ker mooon mein pani ajay ga .. hahaha !.. koi bukri shukri dikha bhai !! hahaha !! .. just kidding ... Take care


Utha loong ga terey ko kaam sey.
Why 7? I thought you got off at 6.

Shehz .. You just took out his 1 hour with his female colleagues in the filing room !!.. you .. you ... you ... hahahaha ...

Pity .. you guys are having fun .. all what I have in Abu Dhabi is KhawarKhan !! OOhh .. forgot the Pakistani cricket team is in town too !

I am there too, but we never got time to meet !

I will go to the 2nd match hopefully, been waiting a long time to watch some live cricket !

In defence of Khawarkhan, Pakistani cricket team is making a Gulli-danda team with Down-syndrome look good these days.

I tell you one thing, this coming series with India, they will humiliate us this time.
If our selectors don't wake up now, we might as well kiss cricket goodbye, like we did with field hockey.


Aik Thunder bay ki bakri sey is ko ishq bhi ho gaya hai.
Bus, size fit nahee aaya, baaki sub shakri theek thi us ki.

Tu agli baar aaey ga na, Markham key Mandarin jaey-n gay.
Tu apni golf ki booking karna, mey Filipina khana khaoo-n ga, theek.

and yeah you were much more jingoistic then, do you remember all that american posters we had.? chris402, ironman or something, also do you remember that incident with that russian poster , alex or something. all of us thought she/he was female and finally it was found out that it was a he :-pppp, good times and great memories.

Inshallah, I'll join you guys this SAT at 7:00 p.m sharp.

Shehz, Sobank dont have mustasche right? :p

yea, we also had an american Mod as well. Stars & stripes

Comon, you can't question my jingoness even today, But the current political leadership & religious fundamentalism to me are inexcusable.

Yeah, he has a 14" Tableeghi beard nowadays.

Venue? we have 2 halal members, so this time let's go to a diner of your choice.
Either haveli or Cafe de Khan, or another, you decide!

Seems like I have to coordinate once again.

Ok decided:
Cafe De Khan, Mississauga.

Closest Intersection Britannia & Mavis.
Heartland Town Center, right behind Canadian Tire.

Time 7 - 7:30 PM.
You guys have untill Friday noon to appeal this decission, or must come physically to appeal on Saturday!

We may have another member joining us, and will give you guys the details 'not here'.

^ Reminder.

choclate. ferrero rouche :)

Necesito su número de tarjeta de crédito.

yaar thori space ziada rakha karo.It was too crowded i did not find a table and walked back

I would really appreciate if you guys add some pictures of the meetings.

Where were we seated?


Nahee yaar, we're like buddha people.
For faces, search that thread (either social or general) - face behind the name.

Really !!!

yeh too many families were there and these guys were sitting too close to the counter in accessable so I left without disturbing them and there was no fifth chair

Dude, every restaurant has a counter, give us something more substantial.

once you enter the resturant and face the towords counter it is your right hand side of the counter first table , you guys were not eating but just talking,I came in checked the resturant saw you guys then asked the gentlman serving that if any table is availiable he said you have to wait so came out I think two of you saw me I was wearing black leather coat.BTW you guys are not buddhas

^ True!

Then you should have told us earlier (in the thread) that you'll be joining us, and we'd have reserved a larger table.
Nevertheless, you still should have approached us, as we were waiting for Aliph and a larger table as well.

There was no need to walk away Faizan, com'on!
Later we went to Timmie's, and hung around till past 11.

Why does your location show New York?

Can you guys have some pictures this time and post here ????

Now please do not come up with old excuses.


CAN YOU ?????

next time yesterday was quite frustrating long drive on 401 I came from east end ,I thought I might not be welcomed(natural shyness), may be next time .I think all of you are in missisauga I was only one coming from scarborough.

Unwelcome wali koi baat hi nahee hai yaar.
Another member also joined us for the first time, after hesitating on the first one, and he drove from DT Toronto as well bhai.
Aliph ko boltey aap, he was in Scarborouh last night too.

Next time do join us please, you're welcome to.
Waisey, cell phone sey koi tasweer to nahee khinchi na?
