and a bunch of other great artists are coming down. The program is free. I doubt that there is a website for this event, but i know there is a website for the one on September 2nd @ the MCI centre. It is: http://www.pakistanday.org (I sound like an advertisement!) Also, about the show for this weekend- it’s an annual event hosted by Z. Hamedi- host of a Pakistani program on ch56. I doubt you get that in Baltimore though. Anyway, both shows are completely free. They both run from noon-8pm. Email me if you want anymore info. Happy Paki Day peoples! BTW- anyone go to Aabshaar Paki Day program this past Sunday? Just wonderred.

i went to the aabshar one for a little while... u didnt miss a whole lot. it was way too crowded.
Mundyaa- Oh, I was there. It was alright. But, I hate it when I come out to these events and hardly know anyone there.

wow thanx Bharysh... the info is really helpful. Now the question is how would I get there, but that's not such big of a deal :)
September 2nd aint too far either. If its gonna be a good show then I might as well stick around until then.
Yeah, I haven't seen any desi programming on cable here.
Hmmm... this Aabshaar place is famous ... I din't know. I went there like a couple of weeks ago. Had quite an adventure finding the place. prolly will go there once again before I go back to Toronto. Come to think about it, someone told me they have a really good breakfast on weekends, so prolly I'll eat and then go to the show on Saturday.
Starting to sound like a plan already...
thanku all :)
barish, hahaha i know what u mean. stay a little while longer in northern virginia and you will know so many desies, you would want to move out.
umar, try the qulfi next time at abshar its pretty good. there is a lahori auntie who runs a restaurant by the name kabobs etc. near fairoaks. they make the best tikkay and kabobs with tandoori roti and lassi. some goras have got hooked on the taste so its pretty crowded during lunch hours but any other time its not that bad.
what's the name of the restuarant mundyaa?
Umar- The best way into dc if you are coming by yourself is to take the Metrorail. That way you won’t get lost trying to find parking.
Mundyaa- I don’t live in N. Virginia- that’s the problem. Hardly get an opportunity to meet desi’s in this big shaare even!
Baarish- wow- you are from this area too? wow- that’s a big coincidence. I hope you don’t mind I have a similar name too. ..Who knows, maybe we were seperated at birth? 
I’m planning on going to a museum in the morning while mom sets her chair up front somewheres. Anyone wanna come with? :)(not trying to sound offsetting to anyone, but since I don’t know too many desi’s as it is and I came to Guppy land to make new friends…I guess I have little to lose in asking for some company..
) If not, s’cool.
Take care local Guppies.

its a long story .. nay ways.. i m so glade to hear you guys are from here .
hey i didnt know we got all these LOCAL DC guppies ... i thought this kinda stuff only
happened in TORONTO :) ... guess moving here was not bad after all.
I went to the ABSHAAR thing too, it was pretty good, lot of people showed up. I think
that parking lot was too small for the event.
Umar lets go for the BREAKFAST on saturday at Abshaar, i am in :)
Kabob etc .... thats a good place, went there last week, and thinking of going again
today .... anyone hungry???
OH another thought, i guess i will introduce myself and then all you other DC guppies can
do the same. so here i go,
name is Adnan, 23 years old, moved here last summer from Toronto, and working here as a
software developer. I live in Springfield and work in Chatilly. Also starting my masters at Geroge Mason this fall.
now your turn...
