Varda Arts - Hai Yeh Dua Subhaan

Varda Arts - Aga Khan Jubilee Song (Mera Koi Nahi Hai Tere Siwa)

We would like to thank the Ismaili Jamaat of Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania, for giving us the opportunity to perform LIVE on the
Imamat Day, at the Diamond Jubilee Hall, on the 9th of July, 2017 commemorating the Diamond Jubilee 60th Anniversary of Mawlana Hazar Imam's accession to the Ismaili Jamaat.
We were fortunate to have performed during the Golden Jubilee celebrations 10 years ago in 2007 as well.
This is from us,
With Love, Peace and Brotherhood.

VARDA ARTS COMPLETES 20 YEARS AT KHANA KHAZANA 1997-2017

Historical records are not intended to be created, they just happen. It is our jubilant day to have completed ’20 Years’ of entertainment at 'Khana Khazzana' where families flock to this famous place for fun gathering on Fridays. This day, our memory flash-back to 1997 when KK was under final stages of its construction and Akber bhai called us for our inputs on where to put up the stage and its needs.
During the span of 20 years, we have pleasant memories of our loyal fans who have shared their joy with us. It has been tough, to perform constantly without missing a single ‘Friday’ for 20 years no matter what! We have been offered lucrative amount to skip a Friday and perform elsewhere, but we have always resisted the temptation with thanks and have stuck to our principles and ethics of our profession, though we desperately have needed money!
We are humbled when groups of visitors from overseas book KK in advance, even before their arrival through travel agents like any other tourist attraction!
At times, we become mentally frustrated performing non-stop for 6 to 7 hours without a single break of even 5 mins to have a cup of tea! Under such pressure, we take full responsibility if we have hurt anyone’s feelings as we might have overlooked. To them, we say, “We are sorry!”
Thank you Akber Pirmohamed bhai, you never led us by authority showing off those familiar bossy attitudes but treated us like family with appreciable respect! Currently Minesh bhai does the same, Thank you Minesh bhai! Thank you Maashuk bhai, as a Manager you were caring and helpful and not like a school headmaster! Thank you to the service minded waiters of KK for being there for us till late hours! Thank you to our wives, you have sacrificed joyful moments of our life especially during holidays like Eid, Diwali, Easter, Christmas or New Year while we are always busy entertaining our fans, your timeless devotion has made us fall in love with you more than ever! Thank you to our beloved father and mother in Heaven, we believe it is your duas that we prosper united as brothers!
We are told to apply for the ‘Guinness Book of World Records’ but friends, it is our nature not to bother to win awards but to win people’s heart, because awards are decided by people, but people’s love is from God.
We have also completed 10 years at the New Africa Hotel and 5 years at Hotel Sapphire!
For us, you are our true honor and reward for having listening to us persistently for more than 35 years now and yet you are not tired of us. Your love has turned into a deep emotional bonding. What more can one wish to be bestowed upon such magnimous ‘reward’ by their fans?
Though we are not accomplished musicians, but you all have been so kind to pardon our imperfections! Thank you again for grooming Varda Arts as you have made us what we are!
Thank you Allah for the attributes giving us more than what we deserve! After so many ‘Thank yous’, please look around for someone in need, help them, or with your kind words, and feel the joy of ‘Thanks’!
With kind regards from Iqbal Varda, Yunus Senior, Yunus Junior and Aziz Varda. Love you all!!VARDA ARTS COMPLETES 20 YEARS
