The event was actually organized like a Mehndi, even included a Dulha and Dulhan and a had guy's side and a girl's side.Ā This event had all the elements of a mehndi such as singing competitions, all the rasms, mithai, entrance of the dulha and dulhan and most importantly, the mehndi as well. Ā People were even jumping on the stage to get pictures taken with the dulha and dulhan.
Whoever was able to make it to the event on Friday night, how did you feel about the event? What did you like and what didn't you like about the event.Ā Leave your comments below and share your thoughts!

It was nothing more than an excuse for winter-starved girls to dress up and show themselves off. It was nothing more than an excuse for our desperate 'romeos' to do 'poondy' and check out the girls they would want to stalk for the rest of the year.
Easy as that.
Never again.

Give some credit to the organizers, they tried their best at least. It was a unique event and they did their best to make it like a real Mehndi while realizing the limits of such an event in a university atmosphere and the limitations of the premises as well.
You "cool" kids can go hang out in your clubs with 21+ and 23+ wala loog.
And what kind of marketing of an event would that be anyhow; why would an intelligent marketing team put caps on age when students are admitted into 1st year at age 18, and are expected to graduate at 22.
The dulhan was adorable, I think she did a wonderful job.

completely agree with the posts above.. it was a failed attempt of a "dulhan" trying to get attention with her bf?.. why not go get engaged offically and have your own mehndi?..
and the age thing..definitely a bunch of highschool girls using the event as an excuse to get permission to go out from mommy and daddy..
PSA has definitely gone pathetic this year.. if this is how its gonna be.. doubt anyone matures gonna end up going to the formal..
bit of advice..stick to a few events..but make them classy..

To the 7th poster above, I think most folks are talking about the fact that event was bit different in terms of imitating a very personal and emotional moment in any girl's life. Most girls I know would want to have the 'perfect mehandi, reception and the perfect dress to go along with it'. Definitely something that is very personal.
Even from a guy's perspective, an event as such this would be 'mine' and I would definitely not like to get it imitated.
I personally found the crowd to be rather cheesy as well, and there is definitely no association with the cool aka as you mentioned clubbing crowd. Clubbing crowd is also very cheap crowd and definitely not something that I would personally be caught dead in even. I just thought the whole feel of the event turned out to be more of a MELA crowd -- which I am sure was not the intention of the organizers.
I do agree that the event organizers promoted and sold out a great event. It was different and kudos to Sana and the rest of the crew. You guys did an amazing job. As an ex-PSA head, I know the amount of work it takes to organize such an event.
However, from my own personal taste, I just found the cheap guys crowd to be a turn off. It wasn't their fault, events such as these do attract the wrong 'cheap' crowd as well.
Just my 2 cents.

If money could filter out bad crowd, we would've had no problems at formal events. Many in the past were 'destroyed' by drunkards and gang related fights.
Its just the whole concept that just attracts the wrong crowds.
Through my experience, I have realized that best way to filter out bad crowd is attaching your cause with a charity. Automatically, the lafanga and cheap crowd dissappears!
Afterall, how can 'I' pick up the 'gyals' when I have to be involved in raising funds for little kids, Iraq, Aids, Poverty related issues'? My conscience and mindset wouldn't allow such a thing.
I have organized events with my charity organization for $15 and the efforts attracted a more mature, yet friendly, crowd as well.

Now, i can understand why most guys may have been bored at the begning
since usually the dholak part is for the girls,
i feel that part could have been altered to involve everyoneelse aswell, instead of people sitting on chairs bored out of their mind. this event was GREAT if you were involved, maybe not so much if you werent. I dont think theres a way to stop a cheap crowd since boys will take every opportunity to hit on girls whether its in a mall or at an event, theres no stopping that. I do disagree that people have said that this was an occasion for bored girls to get dolled up and show themselves off since that happens even at weddings, and its not to show themselves off, maybe younger girls since that is the cool thing to do in highschool, but maybe not older girls. Mehndis are usually meant to be fun with girls dressed up to their fulllest. I think this event did what it set out to do, it was advertised as a mehndi, and it trullyy was a mehndi. i personally thought the DJ was awesome for the event and im sure everyone enjoyed the open dancefloor. Also, i dont exactly understand why people who are 21 and older consider everyone younger than them 'kids'. Im sure when most of you were 18-19 you wanted to go to ALLLLL these events and im sure not ALL of you were immature or children or caused a huge mess at events. it depends on the individual, some highschoolers are very mature for their age and i bet some of you couldnt even tell them apart for the uni students. I think the only people who complain about age limits are the ones who are expecting to hit on girls and later discover that they are still in highschool and you start to feel a little to old for the event. This is a Pakistani student association and im glad they allow all pakistanis to their events. The purpose of such events are to get dressed and dance the night away and i dont recall seeing anything different than that. I also dont think the dulha dulhan wanted attention, they were the presidents of those PSA's and they wouldnt need to be in the spotlight for attention since they can achieve that in many other ways. I didnt see the dulhan excessively glamorized or the dulha taking things too seriously, this was meant for jokes to set the mood right for the occasion.
overall, GREAT event, most people i know had an amazing time and are pumped for the PSA formal.

I agree with majority of the comments and can say without hesitation that the event was a total disappointment. I wasted money and time going to the event only to leave it within an hour because it was so ridiculous.
First off, the catch phrase of the event, ācause there will be no aunties!ā was unreasonable. As a Pakistani Association, we should be proud of our traditions and our cultures and Iām sure these Aunties are part of it. We're all capable of causing drama, not just Aunties. Regardless, if there are Aunties there or not, there will be drama. Oh, by the way, the āAuntiesā includes everyoneās mom, including the mom of the person who came up with the catch phrase. So, not only are you accusing everybody elseās mom of stirring up drama but your own mom too. Good job (y).
Donāt get me wrong, Iām not opting for Aunties to come to this event. I just think that the catch phrase was disgraceful.
Timing for this event was absolutely horrible. February 27th was the 1st/2nd day of Rabiā Ul-Awwal. Iām sure a lot of people didnāt know of the date either which is why itās PSAās job to set appropriate dates. If events are rescheduled because people have midterms and such, then they should be rescheduled in respect to important Islamic events too. If rescheduling this event clashed with the PSA Formal, well then, something has to be sacrificed. Has anybody been keeping up-to-date the news? Situations in Pakistan arenāt all that great and we are all aware of that, Iām sure. How has PSA helped the situation in Pakistan? The year is nearly over in another 2 months, and I have yet to hear about a charity event to support Pakistan through this difficult time. As a more mature age group, we should be planning events that are sophisticated and classic while holding/helping some sort of cause.
Now, moving on to the comment above mine... Iām assuming youāre in high school at the moment which is why youāre fired up about why there are issues with high school attendees attending university events. If not, then I apolā¦ actually, no. I donāt care
. There is a reason why high schoolers werenāt supposed to attend this event because it is a UNI Ū°VERŪ°SITY event. If high schoolers want to attend such events, they should organize it at their own school with their own age group or wait their turn; we all did. You think the only people complaining about age limits are the ones who hit on high school girls. Trust me, nobody felt old coming to this event. A bit disappointed? Yes. I think you may have misinterpreted their feeling. They probably werenāt feeling old but maybe a bit stupid for attending a UNIVERSITY event full of a high school crowd. And no, not ALL Pakistanis were invited; remember the Aunties were discriminated against?
āI dont think theres a way to stop a cheap crowd since boys will take every opportunity to hit on girls whether itās in a mall or at an event, theres no stopping thatā. Haha, wow, arrogant much? Thatās a very bizarre comment to make because I could just turn it around onto the girls. Anyhow, Iām not going to make sexist comments like that. Iām sure there are enough perverts in both sexes to go around.
I believe Mehndiās and all other Wedding events consist of values, traditions, customs that need to be followed. These cannot and should not be mimicked. If people wanted to dance the night away, then it shouldāve just been another formal. I agree that wedding events are personal and impersonating an event like this was just plain weird.
Overall, this event was a just a sad attempt of having fun. It was a reason for all the PSA execs to party while the rest sat around and watched them act like hooligans. By the way, girls who were constantly on different shoulders, I suggest you look up self-respect in the dictionary.
Apart from that, Iām sure it was hard to organize an event and while I wish I could say āGood Jobā, I really canāt.

well actually im not in highschool! i was just saying that when i was in highschool i wanted to attend such events and i didnt for the same reason bieng that they are meant for the university crowd. I am just saying that the event was not promoted as just a university event
it was pretty much open to everyone 'expect for aunties'.
I just dont see how highschoolers get in peoples way... if its the maturity level, well there weere many people who attended who were from uni and they were highly immature, i personally just dont understand the reason why theres a problem with highschoolers attending such events if their simply just there to have fun. I just dont think that psa events should isolate students from highschool who might have siblings in university and just want to tag along and bringing a few friends. and about the comment on the boys hitting on girls, well you can say it about girls too.. i just directed it towards boys since ive seen that happen more often from my experience, i dont mean to offend anyone. I totally agree that we should respect our traditions and elders and not mock such events but everyone knew this was meant for fun and its okay if it did not suit everyones taste in events. Im not taking any sides here, just saying that this event was fun and im not expecting everyone to agree i just wanted to defend somethings that were said and i felt were not correct. And i completely agree with your statement about psa holding events supporting pakistan through tough times.

^ I suppose people are commenting on this review more than the others only because it was written on the event's wall a couple of times to check out the photos and the event review. When people come to the website to look at pictures, they naturally come and leave a comment. At least that's what I did.
Plus, I'm sure nobody has anything personal against the event or the organizers, they just merely stated their opinion. I believe there is something called the 'Freedom of Speechā, no?
If you put something out there, you have to expect some negative feedback as well as positive. This world is not all flowers and butterflies, unfortunately. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and Iām sure they wouldnāt bash this event without reason. After all, it is an event review; its primary purpose is to receive feedback on the event. The review written at the top by the website owner doesnāt seem to be bashing the event, really.
Just to make things clear, I am not the websiteās owner nor do I have any connections with them. I donāt think anyone is freaking out about or āhatingā on the event either as it is over and done with. āHatingā is a strong word, and this whole shebang is not āhatingā, itās called ācritiquingā. If weāre leaving our comments, itās only because we wish for PSA(ās) to get their acts together.

Hello,
In regards to the comment about DesiVibe, the reason why other articles/event reviews may not have comments is mainly because DesiVibe just recently changed the layout of the whole website a week ago and due to that reason new components were installed hence why we lost all the previous comments.
DesiVibe has been promoting PSA events along with all the other cultural events from other different organizations for the past 3 years or so and will continue doing so, and this event was no different. Even including the previous PSA event featuring RDB, which we gave full video coverage to was another successful event held by PSA. ( http://www.desivibe.ca/event-r...ami-halaat )
The comments on these boards merely represent the public view and not of DesiVibe.
Thanks,
DesiVibe

Hilarious, obviously, you know that is some joker, creative though.
In the end, it was a good event and as someone posted, it was only $10! We spend more than that on movies!
Even if I wasn't happy with the cheap mela crowd that ended up coming (possibly due to no restrictions on highschool crowd), it was entertaining! Maybe next time, we can throw in a charity affiliation, age restriction and have another SOLD out event like this one!
Atleast, it wasn't empty!!
But I do want to meet Sameer Khan properly though. Maybe do an Interview!!

For the first time, PSA actually attempted to show a traditional aspect of Pakistani culture. Kudos to the organizers.
With regards to the comments above, you guys really showed your decency. You guys don't want high schoolers because they 'talk shit' as written above..well what exactly do you 'mature' people think you're doing? There's something called constructive criticism, but you all are full out bashing the event.
If Junaid Bhatti sahab wants to talk about a girl's respect, what makes you so respectful when you decide to single out one girl in a crowd? That's smart, real smart.
When I was invited to the facebook event, it was CLEARLY written in the description what I can expect and they followed through with that. I enjoyed it and by the amount of people that stayed til the end of the event, clearly the majority enjoyed too.
Folks, you went to a FAKE mehndi. Nobody needs to be shy, I'm sure they can wait til their own mehndis for that.
As for that uncle who wanted this event to be 21+ and the formal to be 23+, you can start chilling at the seniors home cause buddy, this event is not for post-grads and beyond, it's for ALL university students.

Dude I have a full right to my opinion what part of a university event dont you get? Or maybe you are the high schooler here yourself. Im trying to make things better here, all Im asking for the events to be more organized with a decent crowd. Is that too much to ask for?

It was only $10 right? Then why didn't you leave? I'm sure the organizers could care less if you all left.
What exactly is your problem with age? What the hell did you see a highschooler doing that night exactly that makes you think they're less mature than you? How exactly do you label them as highschoolers?
Grow up kiddos. The next time you see an event being executed for the first time, appreciate it. Otherwise, take your leave and keep your smack talk to yourself. Creating drama out of nothing is in your nature.

As far as the event goes, it was a success regardless of your rants. No one was kicked out (yes, that includes the so- called immature highschoolers you refer to) and no one caused problems (again, that includes the highschoolers).

PSA appreciates your comments however please do not make it sound inflammatory and offensive towards PSA. What do u mean by the dulhan wanted to attention ? ah-Duh never been to a brown mehndi/wedding before i mean the Dulha & The Dulhan are the highlight of the evening.
Anyway facts up front this event was FULLY sold out we had over 100 people who didnt get tickets bcuz it was sold out. For us it was a successful event. All PSA execs worked very hard to bring this event together.
As far as high schoolers are concerned i dont think the crowd is made up of high school crowd its usually the siblings of university students or vice versa. Maybe 10% and these events are not ADULT events or its not like we're doing anything which should be limited to people under 21 or 23 so whoever said the age thing.
PSA unfortunately cannot put an age on the events bcuz usually you enter university at even the age of 17 and graduate 21 22. We definitely don't ONLY want PHD or graduate students at our events who are 24 25 or undergraduates stuck in university at the age of 23 24. Therefore unfortunately those of you concerned with the age of the crowd sorry bu PSA cannot do anything to accommodate your concerns as we're committed to equality and we cannot do anything about people's age.
Unfortunately right now its not PSA's big concern to do anything about high school students either however, we will take that into consideration . We personally do not think high school students are a problem as they only make up 10% of the crowd as mentioned earlier. Maybe university students should take the initiate to get involved and buy all the tickets on time and actually attend events so no tickets can be sold to non-university students. As event organizers one of our incentive is to make sure its a sold out event we are not guna sit here and not sell tickets to people bcuz they dont go to university or they're below 21.

^
^ Full stops would be nice. What would we better would if you used commas as well, exclamation marks? You killed my brain cells with that paragraph essay/sentence/whatever it was. There's a reason we learn grammar, use it.
^ Yeah, because that's the type of spirit we're looking for. Girls on shoulders, awesome.
As for this whole comment issue, it's becoming a bashfest now.

Mo: Seriously? Did you also leave Islam behind?
Girls dancing on shoulders is more like bringing Pind to the event. There is nothing respectable, classy or sophisticated about it.

@Fasial K ā Mehndi aka vivaah is a culture migrated from India, and one of the main rituals of any Hindu wedding. It is not entirely a ātraditional aspect of Pakistani cultureā as you have mentioned above.
Most Hindu weddings are compromise of the following pre-marriage activities:
-Barni Bandhwana ā prayers to remove obstacles
-Mamara ā traditional welcome of maternal uncle by bride/groomās mother
-Sangeet Sandhya ā musical night
-Tilak Ceremony ā turmeric powder applied to the groomās forehead
-Mehndi - applied to the brideās hands and feet.
According to the Hindu custom the bride must not step out of the house after the mehndi ritual until her marriage. The bride's female cousins sometimes apply a dot of mehndi on the palm of the groom. Another Hindu custom dictates that the deeper the color of henna, the stronger the family relationship will be and her overall relationship will be a happy one.
Overall, this thread is interesting, and everyone have something interesting to share. Lets provide constructive feedback to the organizers, and lets hope that PSA-UTM, and all PSAs appreciate the attendees feedback.

r u guys being serious, this was an amazing event organized by PSA for the first time. It was creative, different and very sweet little event. I dont know about u losers who have been saying all that nonsense, but everybody that I know had a great time that night. Certain amount of criticism is healthy but u guys just exceeded the limit.

Ok, so you all didn't enjoy the event. Point taken. Now for some points of my own:
1) you keep complaining about $10 being wasted, but come on, its TEN DOLLARS. Are we really that poor that we can't let that go?
2) If you didn't like it, why didn't you leave? No one was making you stay.
3) You people thinking who those girls on ppl's shoulders have no self respect.. Here's an idea.. Why don't you improve yourselves before criticizing and judging others. I am pretty sure none of you are perfect. And if im wrong, please forgive me.
4) All of you who are complaining about high schoolers, I take it there will be none at your own mehndi? I hope not for their sake...
Bottom line is, this is the first time PSA have done an event like this. I repeat, FIRST TIME. As in, this was kind of experimental. And in such cases, there are bound to be things that ppl like and also things that ppl don't like. So it is all well and good to give constructive criticism, but if you want to bash them for only trying to make a social event for you, why don't you run PSA instead? I'm sure with all your opinions, you would do a better job...

listen desi gunda: you write this one, correct?:
"esl classes, it's about time you join one because your english is higher level english that only you understands."
yes it is correction that "only you understands" is not the proper terminology we use in the language. so i hope that you are in my esl class too, then i have a buddy to be buddy with. another sad and little silly thing is this you writes: "ok mr joker
now you laugh at you own diss"
i thinks "at you own diss" is not correct method .. so instead me laugh at me.. i laugh at you.. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA.... ok??
also i dont get this zig zag joke.. you ask for line paper.. i give you straight line paper not one with zig zaggy lines on it.. how you write then?
ok and mr. bilal bhai please let me know yaar for this interview. im very much interested.

I didn't attend this event so I don't know whether it was entertaining or not, but the comments over here sure are. Judging by the comments, the event must've been pretty amusing too - perhaps other than in the ways intended by the PSA. Either way, I'm sure a lot of hard work went into it, as did into writing these comments. Keep it everyone teeheeheee.
