'sup?
this just in: readership of this blog has gone up by 100%.
im very excited.
ive become a fame junkie.
when i started blogging about 3 years ago...i used to crumble under the pressure.
i used to tell people to not tell other people about my blog.
i was humble.
well...not really.
but i used to act like it.
i thrive in the limelight now.
soooo...i shall take this opportunity to introduce myself to my throngs of new readers.
in a special three part series that i shall call "The spectrum a to z"
PART ONE
my name is ali.
thats "uh-lee" for all my local fans and "alley", for all my international readers.
i was born in 1977.
which is when all the great people were born. some of them are bono (fellow musician), john milton (fellow poet), roy lichtenstien (fellow pop artist) and lionel ritchie (fellow hello).
the beatles were also born in 1977.
on september 11th.
all of them. (except ringo)
as was i.
i was born in lahore. at 9 pm. aparently it was dark, and there were complications. and i almost died*.
but fortunately i didnt. otherwise there wouldve been no http://www.alialam.com/
and that obviously would have been a great tragedy.
so from lahore i decided that our family needed to move abroad so that we cold get a better education etc.
i asked my dad to start looking for jobs in the international market.
preferebly closer to mecca. (because i was always religiously inclined)
so one fine day alam (my dad) came home and said "ali! (thats me) pack your bags!! we're goin' west!"
i was obviously really excited.
and i hurriedly packed my things. and my guitar. (because i was always musically inclined)
so we moved to saudi arabia when i was almost one.
and stayed there for 9 years. until i decided to come back in 1986.
which incidently is when all great people returned home.
the beatles, bono, the dalai lama etc.
*true story. look up 'ali alam' in wikipedia. not right now...but after a couple of days.
coming soon in part 2: ali saves the world..celebrates his third birthday.

ali you mad man!!!
your real calling in life is not religion, its not music, its writing funny stuff.
love this- its heeelaayyyrreeeusss..
will keep reading
Ali please revise my salary as i cant read it anymore for the $ you pay me ...Increase readership by writing about me .... or Amna as its always about her (in her own mind atleast)
lololollll!
As someone who remembers you during your non-stop 24/7 Michael Jackson and "Beat It" days - I'm lovin' this.
Im an international reader, but I pronounce your name 'uh-lee' Hows THAT for a wing-dinger?! :) And heey you came back, and I was born! ta-da! You're not even ten years older than me, this is reassuring.
Wow, Im learning so much AA.
who are all these people? I remember a time when there were five readers and the blogs mentioned me. Oh how things change.....
i don't understand rasikh's coment :-/
apart from the line about how it's always be 'about me'... and in that particular case i totally agree =D
hey miq...wassup bud.
does your name being mentioned in the comments count?
hi miqdad. i remember your name being mentioned. it was also mentioned at a lunch yesterday at roasters. 3 people were discussing the line-up of the T2F gig. how was it?
ali replies:
shama: the wait is over:)
inciya: yes they should. but seeing that youre a geo employee. i think youre out to sabotage.
mars: thank you. i actually think my calling in life is to help others. im looking into becoming a super-hero.
rasikh bhai: i really didnt get your comment. so ill wait for the next one to reply to the first one.
saima: stop giving away plot lines.
hira: hirooxanga im hoping youll learn so much more by the time you get back. sometimes college really doesnt teach you everything. which is where this blog helps.
miq: hello. do you sometimes read older posts and reminisce about when life was simpler?
amna: i dont get your comment either. maybe its a family thing.
abbas halai: no it doesnt. you still look the same.
inciya2: whatd they say??how come noone writes about our shows??arent you tight with the journalist type crowd? can you write a review of this last gig??i know you werent there.
