With the new set of updates to the site, it was only inevitable that the forums would follow suit. In fact, it's safe to say that the forums were the first thing to be completed. So go on, check it out! Give us the lowdown on what you think...fingers crossed, o'course..!

Our blog, which has been operating since September, 2007 maintains a constant stream of updates for members and non-members alike. Chances are, if you've heard a rumor about something happening with the 'Lounge, it'll be reported on the blog first and foremost.

After a stream of updates to the main site and the forums,  we've had to update our blog's color scheme as well.

Now that we have the preliminaries out of the way, there are a few planned for the months ahead, first and foremost being the elusive reading and launching a trinational marketing campaign, kicking off from Islamabad and spreading to Karachi and Lahore. Our target: bookstores and any "intellectual" cafes...though the existence of such cafes, may be debatable. But we at the 'Lounge, are incurable optimists.

If you're interested in helping out with the reading, or with spreading the DWL love, drop us a line at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it with a few ideas or suggestions or tips or a helping hand or whatever.

Chances are, in the months ahead we're going to need all the help any five member team can muster.

Tally ho! 

That's a good question. Aside from the reading, we have a tiny bubble of an idea surfacing on the tips of our brains. Without giving anything away, it's something in the way of a competition, arranged by the 'Lounge but including both members and non-members for prospective applicants.

Make no assumptions, however. Think distinctly out of the box. Prepare to really dig into your imaginations, because we'll be calling for the best of the best out there...all amateurs of course. That's what we're really interested in...keeping it real with people just like us; someone undiscovered but with a plethora of talent. Yes, we're horribly indiscreet and have no modesty whatsoever! :)

Constant updates as always, will be on the blog, as well as on the forums and of course, on the website itself.  

So what goodies are we offering? We'll admit: most of them are on the forums...no...they're all on the forums. Damn. Nonetheless, we've got two new things: one's this nifty little thing called 'Karma'. What does it do? It allows you to applaud or smite a fellow member on the board; applauding boosts popularity while a smite naturally takes it away. It introduces a sense of fun and distraction in the otherwise charged, but relaxed atmosphere of the 'Lounge.

The second thing is inviting others, which a lot of our members wanted to do but really found passing on the link itself, less of a reminder than a permanent 'you have been invited' sitting in their inbox, staring at them...day in, day out. Not that it's wholly unappealing...hopefully!

There are other things planned as well, but we don't want to give them away...
