I’ve been listening to rumors about Zeest’s origin for quite some time now. Some people have also associated songs by other bands with us. Instead of being eliminated, they are increasing day by day. There have been some reasons behind it. Some of the mistakes are from our side. We have not been able to communicate with our fans properly due to the lack of proper media attention. While people did the rest in pumping the rumors; I was really disappointed to learn that normally people don’t care to do a little bit research on what they listen. Only believing the words of mouth and spreading the news to everyone.
I would like to clarify some of the rumors roaming around the public, like

BC Sutta is a very controversial song. It has been around for almost 3 years now, yet it still arises questions in the mind of an average person. Let me tell you guys the story behind this song. Skip composed this song almost 6 years back, at the age of 17 that is. A 17 year old has so much on his mind, yet this particular child decided on taking another path. Skip, being a very heavy smoker, says he got the idea of “Sutta na mila” from his father. Being a non-smoker myself, I can easily understand how most of you feel. Some people are absolutely crazy about this song and can relate it with their everyday lives. On the other hand, some people hate it and find it very offensive. I was personally in the batch of the people who found it offensive.
Believe it or not, I’ve listened to so much music and I can now differentiate between good and bad. BC Sutta was in my list of bad until I thought about it deeply. Then I figured it isn’t that bad after all. The song merely speaks about the difficulties an average teenager goes through. The word Sutta symbolizes everything; substitute it with everyday ragging that we do, or pulling your friend’s leg, it all comes back to the little things in life that we can’t do. BC Sutta is like chocolate for a little child, who wants more and more deeply, yet can’t have it because his parents don’t permit him.
Skip’s parents have not listened to this song yet and have no clue about it. On the other hand, it is being played in pubs and bars in foreign countries. Accomplishing so much online is not something every other person can do. It is the nature of the song and the feel created by the background music that pulls a person towards itself. Having used instruments like just a guitar and a conga, the song has a very ancient feel to it and this is what makes it very special. It’s that particular feeling; it’s the essence of change, the essence of making a difference. All of this ties up to just one thing, Sutta na mila!

It has been so long since I last updated the blog … The Zeest is still on and we’re working on tons of surprises for you guys. We have lots and lots to tell, starting from some new entries in our project ranging to some gossip … Who’s ready? Are you ?!
As you may have known, Skip was a solo musician to start with, but now has some support with him. Umair, also a very good friend, is now the official member of Zeest Band, acting as guitarist and co-vocalist. He’s a very talented person from Hyderabad … Here goes a list of people behind Zeest.
Skip:THE man guy behind Zeest! The evil brain! The master mind! .. Yup! I’m talking about Mr.Saqib. This not-so-down-to-earth guy can make one happy at any time of the day [-or night 
]. His random “egg-jactly” makes me happy .. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I truely like this guy and enjoy everytime I speak with him. I must add the fact that he really is a celebrity .. & that too a hot one.
p.s. Skip acts like a celebrity on orkut .. lmao !
Umair: He recently joined the Zeest as official member and will be on guitars and Co-vocals. His hometown is in Hyderabad, Pakistan. A Mechanical engineering student from NED Engineering University in Karachi, We have our hopes high and hope to have an amazing time with him. (More will be added about him soon)
Sohail: Sohail Bhai was the first person related to Zeest who I personally spoke with. He’s very down to earth, yet comes up with cheesy jokes every now and then. If it weren’t for Sohail, I wouldn’t be sitting here typing this up … So yeah, if you like me, thank him … And if you don’t like me, well, too bad ! Being quite older than most of us, he’s more like a brotherly figure.As far as Zeest is concerned, Sohail is the communication manager. Did I mention the fact that’s Skip’s older brother? I didn’t ?! .. Well, BINGO !! He is !!
……..And now, Zeest would like to credit some people behind them for helping Zeest…
Khalid Butt: Yes he is the famous & real ‘Khalid Butt’ whose name is used in Aaj TV’s ‘4 Man Show’ & will again be referred on ‘Buttmania’ . He is the composer, guitarist, keyboardist, producer & key band member of famous “Razm” and “ex-Northern Alliance”. His influence in Karachi underground music has been very crucial; Khalid Butt played a vital role in producing Zeest’s debut album.
Sushubh: I am Sushubh. I am based in Gurgaon in India and I have been a fan of the Sutta song ever since I heard the song the first time.
If I am to believe my blog, I heard the first time on September 10 in 2005. That’s a pretty long time. The song I believe was made popular by some IITians in India who spread it around their intranet.
I suggest Zeest to start a blog for their fans to directly interact with them as a lot of false stories were circulating related to the song on the web.
Being a smoker, I can easily relate to the song. I have been fortunate enough to be not in a position where I am made to leave the Sutta but that might happen in the near future.
I listen to the song pretty regularly. It’s on my PC, its in my car’s stereo system and it is even my mobile phone which doubles as a mp3 player.
I wish Zeest all the best for his future and I do hope that the Zeest make it big time and do some stage shows in India as well. I would definitely go and hum along… Sutta Na Mila!

We recently received emails from our fans all over India. From what we know, DJ Shezwood made a remix of BC Sutta. The remix is being aired on Channel V at the moment. Meghna Nandu is playing the role of a seductress in the video, who mesmerizes a group of people to set their belongings aside, which, obviously, includes the sutta.
Ms. Meghna says, “It has the same tune of the original song but instead of encouraging people to smoke, my song tells them to kick the butt.” Wait…Isn’t this piracy? She’s copying the tune of the original song without even letting the owners know. It is not like Zeest isn’t working anymore, or Zeest has officially given up music. We could understand her point only if we were down. Just because we didn’t release any other songs does not mean anyone can go around copying our song. Novacaine says in her blog entry, “The tune of the ‘Sutta Mix’ is going to be the same as the original track. How convenient! Never was a better excuse given to blatantly copy a song.”
Producer Gautham Sarumini, Director Lovel, Vocalist Saru Maini, DJ Shezwood & Ms. Meghna owe Zeest big time. They have absolutely no right to earn like that. There is something in this world known as “copyright laws”. They did not give credit to Zeest for using the melody of their song.
