When you log in to write about what incredible trailblazer & vibrant performer @itsmeeshashafi has been this week!! Find that she is already trending! BUT NO its the same dead carcass dragging her down
You are an absolute rockstar! Made from lightning and thunder! #MeeshaShafi
The Artist: - Thread -
The duality, hypocrisy, unwilling to understand each other highlights our limited ability to value music and perhaps women. A glaring societal split is toxic and unbearable.
Listen: Abdullah Siddiqui, Meesha Shafi - Magenta Cyan
Contd: One of my favourite songs of all time is Mela Kariyay. Understanding the artist involves knowing the value they have brought to an industry fraught with conflict & manic egoisms. You gotta fight for what you love! sigh.
Mela Kariyay - Overload
FYI: When you spend time with songs as much as I do! I know music beyond any social court. I feel the authenticity of the artist's performance, I relate to their soul vibrations. I know resonance, do you? Hate is all you feel.

OST: You haven't even seen Moor, I won't be surprised! Nothing gets released in Pakistan anyway and you won't know the collaborations, friendships and coming together of a creative community it takes to make a project.

You hope one day the Billo or Channo of your dreams starts worshipping you without making any effort to be a better person. Do some self-reflection bhaiyoon before you decide to become a defence attorney. #MeeshaShafi
Remember when @itsmeeshashafi brought the rock & roll to this Noor Jehan timeless classic. Stop making music your playground for politics, its shameless and embarrassing.
Sit down and listen to this: Coke Studio Season 7| Sunn Ve Balori| Meesha Shafi
Bhai Full Of Hate: Don't make me remind you that the ultimate Coke anthem was given to you by the same voice you refuse to acknowledge. Have you forgotten you sang this all the time because it was an amazing song.
Future Classic: This was more than a duet for me...
Aeway allah waliyan di jugni ji
Aeway nabbi pak di jugni ji
Aeway maula ali wali jugni ji
Aeway meray pir di jugni ji
Aeway saaray sabaz di jugni ji
Alif Allah, Jugni | Arif Lohar & Meesha #MeeshaShafi
Future Classic: @itsmeeshashafi has the performance range of a phoenix. Ever since its release this song has been belted out on Mehindis and danced on! That's a real gift.

STOP: Listen to this now.
Come back here and talk to me about the song not about @itsmeeshashafi's travel itinerary. This song a bonafide hit! If you cant enjoy it unplug your router and take a nap.
#MeeshaShafi | Boom Boom | VELO Sound Station 2020
Not Done Yet: When this song came on Churails - it was like I was hearing it for the first time. I realised I loved it. I don't see the fog of hypersensitive social opinions, bruised male egos. What I know is that this song heals you.
Meesha Shafi | Mein
I often sit at my desk and sing the back vocals to this song and really feel the build-up of layers. Try it, you'll see what I mean.
Before you write another hate tweet about #MeeshaShafi Watch This: No one will judge you if you enjoy this incredible cover of "Feelin Good" Marvel at the 3D mapping on her larger than life gown for @MagnumPK Party 2017.

Important Mentions: Yeh duniya nahin jagir kisi, so please refrain from sending me so much hate for making a thread about my favourite artist.
For all the little children under this thread trying to make this about themselves and don't understand the Jageer reference, I'm making - google the film Chowkidar, humble yourself.

Tourism in Pakistan: Historical sites have been whitewashed or destroyed. The Galiyaat are overcrowded, badly designed hotels that are overpriced. That's the truth, it's not the booze, not the lack of roads. We litre & are only good for breaking the natural ecology of the land.
Every year it gets worse, every year I ask why doesn't the government privatise the garbage picking and actually give these thekas to the local people of the area. Every year I shudder at the rapid urbanisation of my favourite valleys. You have no idea what you are asking for.
Pakistani tourism enthusiast thinking the problem is booze, no its Savour Foods palao boxes made of styrofoam that people pack in dozens to take with them to the north and dump them on the roadside. Soon, it will all the masks lying on the side of the road collecting bacteria.
A Thread: The constant undermining of female intelligence in this country begins at home. Assume your female counterparts don't know because it makes you feel superior. Shame on you. The simplistic view of male exposure grants them "know better" than everyone else needs to end.
Instead of providing support - men pity themselves. They'll break us down to feel powerful in an argument. When men claim they know how I feel living in this country, I want to literally spit water in their faces because that's how we females live every second of every day.
And then they come at me for being reactive somehow ruining everything in their fragile house of cards reality. Give me a break. At least you have the ability to create your own reality. We barter, haggle and borrow a sense of self because we aren't permitted to have our own.
