ADP Diaries: Imran Lodhi and I (Omar Bilal Akhtar)

By Omar Bilal Akhtar

I wrote the first part of this a couple of days after Imran’s passing. I wrote the next part a few days ago. Writing about Imran has been the most difficult thing I have had to do. But I felt I couldn’t move on to anything else until I did.

In the days since his death, I have been searching for the words, looking for a place to start. Every time I formulate something in my mind, or I try to clear the mist, it seems woefully inadequate. There seems to be nothing in the spaces except grief, heartbreak and shock. I cannot think of him without the tears. Even though the time Imran and I spent together were some of the best moments of my life, it is hard to remember them in the face of the hurt, and the deafening finality of his departure from this world.

Tribute to the Snowman, Imran Lodhi (Concert Videos)

Osman ‘Oz’ Siddiqi (Guitarist of InterAlia):

Performed on the 10th of March 2010 in memory of a great friend, companion and fellow musician who passed away on the 7th of March 2010. We did it as best we could the way he would have loved seeing a show played. Improvised, ambitiously and with little time to practice.

Yes our singing was off, yes our playing was a little off – but that in the end is irrelevant to his memory. He believed in winging it just as often as being absolutely prepared for anything.

The show was put up in 2 days and over a hundred friends of Imran showed up in a small bar Imran introduced us all to a couple of years ago.

RIP Imran…you were like no other.

It’s been a while since I have had much to say over the past summer.I intend to pour my heart out on this one. Lot’s happening in my life yet as the cynical artist I can often be, I choose to bum myself out and not see how wonderful life can still be.

Been hibernating in my little hole apartment playing vdo games, I stopped doing regular crobar shows because I feel like I burnt out a bit.

I am returning to the scene though with a new band “Inter-Alia” that has humbly accepted my limited talents and my jam-missing-premadonna tantrums. Tonight after a long time I will try and completely get back into making some live music.
