1) Call is a pakistani rock band consisting of 4 member. Zulfiqar Jabbar Khan (lead guitarist/vocals);otherwise known as Xulfi, Junaid Khan on Vocals, Mohammad Sultan Raja (Bass/Rhythem Guitar), and Ken Xeerick (Session Drummer). Call is considered to be in the alternative rock genre. If you like Entity Paradigm, linkin park, roxen..you will really like Call. Songs like Wujud, Kuch Naheen, Kismet, etc really bring out the heavy metal side of the band. They are heavily influenced by Pink Floyd, Creed, and Iron Maiden.
Call was originally formed by Danish J. Khan, Khurram J. Khan, Xulfi and Omer Pervaiz. The vocalist, Danish J. Khan left in 2001 and the band was disbanded. However, the band reformed in 2002 and after a few line-up changes, released their debut album, Jilawatan in late 2005. In September 2002, Khurram Jabbar Khan, being a core member, returned from the United States to revive Call. Khurram and Xulfi got together and auditioned for new band members and decided that this would be an urdu project. They found Junaid’s voice to befitting for the band’s musical direction and recruited him as the band’s vocalist. Soon Sunny was chosen to be on lead guitar, Usman Nasir on rhythms and Sultan Raja (Xulfi’s student) on bass. Khurram joined in on drums.
The band’s first single, Nishaan was released through various Pakistani music websites and gained widespread fame. It went on to top the charts and also won the band its first award: Best Rock Song at the Band Baja Awards 2003. Indus Music made a live video of the song which was to be exclusively aired on the channel itself. Call then came up with a second single titled Pukaar, which came with a promotional video directed by Xulfi, eventually won the Indus Music Award for the Best Alternative Rock Song. The band then released an unplugged song titled Kaash.
Soon Khurram had to part roles with the band because he had to run Jilawatan Productions, the company which used to manage EP, Jal, Call and Roxen (band). Eventually Sunny and Usman left the band as well. The band said that Usman didn’t deserve to be in any band and was only there because of his brother, Sunny. Sunny, who was the real musical contributor, couldn’t contribute to the band due to his job and thus had to leave the band.
Khurram was replaced by Waqar of EP and Xulfi took Sunny and Usman’s place. A new single was released and was accompanied by a video directed by Xulfi. The song was titled Shayad and topped the charts.

2) According to their record label, Call are "an exploding mixture somewhere between Electric-Industrial, Gothic and erotomanic soundworks, unveil the synthesis of good and bad of human inner life, a bareness of desires exhibited to the outside world. Beats and sequences broken through by ecstatic, dominant vocals of CALL´s female partner Petra combine to a bizarre cocktail of lust and pain".

Call Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A silent sorrow gets hold, is touching my heart
My inspiration, your genious art
Our strange relation has lost all it's charm
Love and passion are dead and gone
You've been my idol, the chosen one
Can I be free when I'm living on ?
In the still of the night
Dark obsession inside
It`s the way to my last paradise
In the still of the night
My Dark obsession ignites
My oasis, my paradise
Always faithful, beyond all time
A strong desire was burning inside
My love is endless, it never dies
You gave a meaning to my curious life
You have denied me, you turned away
In the still of the night
Dark obsession inside
It`s the way to my last paradise
In the still of the night
My Dark obsession ignites
My oasis, my paradise
In the still of the night
Dark obsession inside
In the still of the night
Dark obsession inside
In the still of the night
Dark obsession ignites
The time has come to take me home
Show me the way and lead me home

The inspiration they once felt from the person they loved has now turned into a burden as their relationship has lost all its charm. Love and passion are no longer present, and the idol they once adored has become distant and unattainable.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the singer's feelings of obsession towards the person they once loved. The darkness of the night is where their obsession thrives, leading them to their last paradise, their oasis, and their place of comfort. Although their love has been denied and turned away, the singer's desire for their former love remains strong and never-ending. The song ends with the singer asking to be led home, suggesting that their obsession has consumed them so much that they have lost their way.

Ex people pleaser and nice girl here.
The sadistic masculine urge to humble and humiliate women is absolutely why I am ruthless with men.
and no this doesn't come across in my attitudes or persona with them.
The exact opposite infact I am pleasant and quite airy/bubbly in situations that benefit me yet underlying I am calculating and transactional.
Absolutely you can have my google number- if it means I navigate safely.
Absolutely I can feign being interested/ being taken/ dense or unaware but I see and sense everything.
The power is in a woman's silent rejection, blocking them, ignoring them, ghosting them completely.
Because as a woman I recognize their audacity in reproaching us
Their entertainment in humbling us
Their entitlement in harming us
It's harrowing, but it is their wiring. Ours is in the silent power of choice. Always choose you first. Your safety, your benefit, your value. And leave the destitute to wallow in their damnation. With little fks given- since we clearly see how they feel about us

A man I wasn't even interested in called me ugly to my face at a party (idk why he thought I cared 😂) and then pretended to be interested in my friend. I ignored him and went to dance with the guy I actually liked...
The dude that called me ugly ended up literally stalking me and watching me so much during the party that the guy I was talking to had to ask me if I personally knew him. He also kept smugly smiling to himself like a weirdo.
Anyways long story shortened... He tried to get my number when I was about to leave to party to "make up" for insulting me. (I threw it away cos I already got the guy I was interested in so he really wasted his lame attempt at "making up")
Men like this really need to stop getting awful advice from lying dating coaches. This guy really thought his creepy erratic behavior would get me date him to "prove" my worth to him after "putting me down" . There's so many out there that act this way and get enraged at seeing it doesn't work.
Already unlikable men with no attractive qualities genuinely think becoming even more undesirable will get them women and other men (that are getting paid for lying to them) troll them by saying it does.
Dial M Style
Never take criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from. Real men do not criticize a woman’s looks.

@Altair and you concluded the person who said this criticizes height in shor man or approves of this attitude on what basis? You speak as if you can't see space for having your own individual thoughts.
pinkaji
@AltairHow is this a hypocritical thing to say? How do you know that commenter makes fun of short guys? From experience when i was a little girl, i was minding my own business when a short guy decided to mock my appearance with his guy friends. Let’s talk about how short guys sometimes project their insecurities onto others to make themselves feel better.
Sapphire_blue
@Altair If you get mocked about your height, that's not the problem of above commentator. Stop throwing words in her mouth about mocking short men's height. You don't know her perspective about men's height, don't be so quick to judge.
Tici gi
@Altair I will repeat since you deflected: you have no basis to assume OP do or condone with what you're saying about treating short guys badly. When you point double stardards under someone's comment, obviously it can be read as criticism towards that person too, unless otherwhise stated .

I loved how shaken he was when she just replied "ok". He was trying so hard to make her question herself and every time the response was "ok". He was pathetic. He was looking for a reaction and he got nothing. 😂😂😂😂

@EliFr. I'll call you every derogatory word in the book, but don't get offended. I like how she showed no reaction and he kept getting frustrated. Lmao😂

"not trying to be mean, just repeating my insult 3 times" lol he was a 1

If he can lower her self esteem, he might have a chance 😅. It's pathetic.
