Mizraab, a progressive metal band, is the brainchild of numero uno guitarist Faraz Anwar. The band has faced numerous problems in album release due to their heavy metal sound mixed with intelligent lyrics which do not fit in the usual mould of sad excuse for poetry with the masses are accustomed to.

First, they mysteriously ‘disappeared’ on Indus Music. Then, the release of their album, Maazi Haal Mustaqbil (MHM), has been floundering for a while now, with different release dates being announced at regular intervals. And yet there is no sign of the album anywhere. The seemingly endless series of delays has left everyone questioning why one of the most awaited albums of the year is being incessantly delayed, and delayed and delayed.

A thousand words cannot convey what a delicate rose can, to win someone’s heart. When all words fail, a fragrant bouquet is the best gift one can give to a loved one. It can even do wonders for the ill. Whatever the occasion, say it with flowers.

Flowers have their own significance in every culture. In the west, flowers of various colours are chosen for different occasions. White flowers given to the bride and groom is an old tradition, while red flowers signify love and affection. When condoling with someone, a person usually presents the family with a white bouquet.
