we had a garage rat once. i killed the damn thing with one of those rat traps with glue to which the rat was stuck. my wife was in mourning for the rat for two days (kept complaining about the cruelty).

I dont mind verbal duels so long as they r creative & entertaining. Faisaluno comes the closest in having a smidgeon of creativity. Otherwise ``winners`` come across as sore losers who need 2 win by overwhelming the site with bs.

#161 actually y the ``winners`` on either side feel like they have 2 repeat themselves over & over again is they know they havent won anything.

Whats interesting is the editor exercises tight control over discussions on her own articles almost 2 the point of indulging in censorship. She abandons the ship 4 all other articles.
I commisserate w/ u aquaris - every damned article ends up w/ the same predictable sequence of mine is bigger w/ the same set of characters - the discussions here have become constipated. Thats y this is the ``plugged`` section i suppose as opposed 2 the ``unplugged`` section. There too its mostly mud slinging w/ individuals going at each other.

Who owns Chowk?

I received an email that why I have disappeared from the site. A less important reason being that it is very difficult to get time on PC at home given that children are growing and give quite a fierce competition for time on the net. otoh, I really feel guilty in posting messages during work hours.

The more important reason has been that I got a little annoyed after I realized that this site is owned / co-owned by arjun_m. It occurred to me during exchange of messages on one topic last month. Previously, I was all in favor of letting SOB’s like him express their views on this site for it was all fun and frolic. But I am yet to find a single post from him that contributes positively to this site. This Indian fanatic is a sick mind. If he were a participant only, he would have been thrown out of this site long time ago. But he and his ilk continue. This proves that he is the owner or co-owner of this site.

To me he is a sadist. He believes that Pakistanis have been comprehensively beaten by India in all aspects. A good winner would then let it go. But he is here, night and day, in season and out of season, humiliating the “defeated” lot. This reminds me of this ruthless killer sentenced last year, who used to kill his little child victims in agony and pain. The last child he killed, was by choking him by putting a polythene wrapper on his head. The bastard actually enjoyed watching the little boy die in pain due to slow suffocation. This is an exact equivalent of arjun_m.

Only in this case, Pakistani children are putting up some fight.

But in the first place, children were supposed to be here not for putting a fight to the ruthless killers, but to play tag, hide and seek and enjoy various amusement rides.

If my assumption on ownership of this site is incorrect, can Chowk staff please tell me what is the value addition of this a*shole arjun_m and his ilk on this site. How many exchanges of any constructive value has he entered into with Pakistanis? What has he been able to teach us the ‘defeated’ lot?
