I do not understand how yall are admiring the story. It aint a story nor it`s cute --Just a couple of facts put together for Peshawari life v. ISB life.

Let`s think outside the box. Let fiminism roar in those clubs that YES THERE SHULD BE MUSICnDANCE and YES THERE MUST BE MULLAS. If either one is missing then the difinition for the other vanishes. You pick what to do; grow your beard or your head-hair.

althaf51:
its okay althaf bhai and thanks a lot for the encouragement.

Rakaposh:
In Peshawar there is a ban on playing music in public, as well as on havai firing. Peshawaris are simply fun starved these days...

Brilliant Adam ,
You are very promising; I can see sparkles of brilliants in you. I am from kerala, south of India, your characters are real and with little bit of cosmetic touch up, can be from any where in the sub continent and not just NWFP. Make sure you keep portraying them honestly but without reinforcing prejudices and stereotypes. I am impressed by your style of narration. Its time you start working on a full length novel .all the best.

Hey guys, thanks for all the praise as well as the criticism.

CheGuevara: I dont have a tv show, this is not my real name. Adam Khan is a legendary pushto folk character. The story ``Adam khan aao Durkhanai`` is the pushto equivalent of ``Heer Ranjha``.

Part#1 was cool and it showed semaphoring and the unconditional attitude of the peshawari brats...however there is a natural transitional effects on peshawaris who are routely coupled with islamabad and feel a broad line of exposed harmonal society in the capital `the drug larvas`...Amusing the change the pathan are going through in sarhad areas where white lillies love to dress boldly and funky naswar chewing reluctant urdu speaker guys cum bairas sinking to lowest levels to appear moderns...the white powder is emerging and the smoke is appealing as not before... But still the girls have some sharam left and wear burqas over their t-shirts, dont swim with their brother`s friends, dont sheesha much, and donot dance infront of their ba-ghairat brothers.

anyways, would like to read more of the endeavors of their minds !

Khasi: DAMN! Khabees, whats wrong with you? The charas wali K-2 you dumb f***.``

Amazing! Adam Khan strikes the jackpot once again. Hope you give us the third part too!

Didn`t quite make it this time.

Khassi and Khabees should have worked before bringing it to this insignificant close.

Unlike the first part.
