MFM Still lives on: the Jam of 4th August 2013 @Faridabad

The co-ordination for the jam had started almost 4 days before when I created an event on facebook for the MFM jam and invited all the local faridabad friends. Sulabh, the talented guitarist, vocalist and drummer came over with his wife a little earlier to my place in Faridabad, sec-14 (He lives in Gurgaon, about 35 KM away!!). He had initiated the MFM spark here in faridabad almost 5 years ago when he used to jam regularly here with his friends (See mfmfaridabad.blogspot.com). We prepared some songs as we had met after a long time.

At around 6:50 PM we(Suraj, Pukhraj and Sulabh) left in cars for the SRS mall, carrying our guitars. We reached in time and Chetan Saini, the great Photo pro just arrived. Rohan Monga, an old school friend came with his very cute son. We took our positions and started the jam with 'Allah ke Bandeh' which 3 of us rendered in collective accord. Later on Anterjeet singh (old school friend) came with his wife, Smiley, my Bhabhi-Kratika and Sulabh's wife-Megha and his your brother japjeet. We sang various songs, ranging from Rubaroo, Aadat by Atif aslam, Bandeh by Indian ocean, Maa Rewa by Indian ocean, Dama Dam mast kalandar, Tuu Aashiqui hai and others. Gurujeet, a budding guitarist from the crowd joined us to sing 'Tere Bin' by Rabbi Shergil and later gave vocal assistance to our singing (and shouting!!).


Meanwhile a great guitar player and singer, Ravish, who was college junior of Sulabh  joined us and we sang many songs..Yaar Bina, Gulabi AAnkhein etc.
I had printed some cards and I shared with many people who were interested to know about the concept of MFM.

Rohan's Son requested a song and sang with us, it was good to see him happy!!

Later on the Vermas-family friends of Suraj came and requested Teri Diwani, Tum hi Ho which were beautifully rendered by Pukhraj and there was clapping and cheers all round. Sulabh Sang Dosti by Junoon to wrap up the jam and then we left for our homes..cheers and look forward for the next jam!!

Here are the pics and videos of the jam (There are many more to come so stay tuned):
