Chowk is 9 Today

“leave the chowk alone - it is just fine the way it is”

If for some Chowkies gaali-galoch is going to be the norm and the preferred method of communication, then screw the “high road.” I am already salivating over the punch I can deliver to any fucker who messes with me. Let it be an open season at Chowk and watch me in action.

The blind wife of a deluded Pakistani.

I agree with you 100 per cent. Aisha Sarwari, the Naseeb editor, just proves my point when she says in interact # 76, ``And true that no one can say anything about Pakistan or Yasser Hamdani, because both are backed by vision and opposed by the blind``. This just proves that Naseeb is a Pak nationalist website. No wonder it follows stringent censorship, akin to Pakistan`s dicatatorship-military rule.

And what ``vision`` does Pak have? Being the terrosist hub of the world? Lol. It has certainly succeeded in that vision.

#78 Next time the car ahead of you is going at 30 mph on the left lane, or if someone cuts across your car thereby depriving you of your rights of self-determination, try some panjabi gaalaN (loudly if mixed company is not present) instead. This is very relaxing and adds to the enjoyment of the ride.

Happy Birthday Chowk. Don`t know whether you are the best or the biggest, but the very fact that you have survived for 9 years is no joke. Thanks for all the effort put in.

As far as freedom is concerned, I think it is all right not to censor. I myself have been frustrated at times. But it is something worth learning if we aspire to live in ``free`` societies - we have to tolerate.

Thank you once again for your service.

Dear Hamidm

So Heera Mandi is the missing link between you and Zeemax.

Before you beat the drums, please know that 2/3 of the logins are repeat logins, i.e. people with multiple ids.

leave the chowk alone - it is just fine the way it is

............a little gali galoch is cathartic and it really doesn`t hurt anyone ............ since i live in a household where the women outnumber me 3 to 1, i never really get to exercise my manly right to use and listen to profanity and invective when i want to ........ chowk provides the necessary relief, otherwise the best i have managed in the last few years is wagging my middle finger at teenage drivers and calling them f`in idiots - and i got severely reprimanded for that by the girls ..............

....... also, for those of us who do not live in the motherland, the gali-galoch provides relief from homesickness, ennui, and nostalgia ............ after a while one begins to miss the colorful language of the honorable inhabitants of lahore`s heera mandi, rickshaw drivers and tonga walas - now, thanks to zeemax we can get it right here on chowk ............

And as for Naseeb, one needs only see Alexa`s ratings to see how far Naseeb outdoes chowk in traffic and rankings, not that, that is the mark of sucess, if numbers were the yardstick India would be the most sucessful country in the world.

And true that no one can say anything about Pakistan or Yasser Hamdani, because both are backed by vision and opposed by the blind.

Pakistan Zindabad!

Happy Birthday Chowk! May you live 1000 years so we can all go to archives to see who was always right.

DM,

If you`re hinting towards some one in particular, it may have crossed a suitably well-tuned mind that perhaps that interactor was doing this precisely to draw chowk-staff attention to the extent of the problem so effectively invented and practiced by the vast majority of your compatriots?

Khair ...

Happy Birthday, Chowk and thank you, chowk staff (never knew how many are there?) for your painstaking labour of love. I would be against your editorialising until the site can afford a professional editor; your opinions can be easily understood by anyone following this website, articles selected (for example, choosing five articles in support and one against a particular viewpoint) and causes supported.

I agree with those who would like to see this site cleaned up. But for that you probably need more resources and therefore you might wish to adopt some of the revenue generating suggestions posted on this Board. I am also amused to note that some of the most vociferous proponents of cleaning-up are themselves the worst abusers, 80% of whose interacts would be rejected by any print media.

Happy Birthday Chowk.
People, Pleaseeee, dont compare Chowk to Naseeb, Naseeb sucks.l

Naseeb.com, thanks to its inexperienced Pakistani nationalist editor, is terribly biased towards Pakistan. The censorship is pathetic on Naseeb. Any comment/talkback that criticises Pakistan or Jinnah or even Yasser Latif Hamdani (the Naseeb editor`s husband) is conveniently chopped off. Just like Pakistan, Naseeb stinks of dictatorship.
I agree a 100 %.

Hey, I did not post 71 ???????????

What a style of describing the small little things you`ve got! It`s really amazing to know that we`ve got talented writers like you.....der kha....keep up the good work .... zama zrha de khushala ku......

Another couplet for Chow and Chowkies

Tujhko dariya dilli ki kasam saakiya
Daur pe Daur uhin chalta rahe
Ashaq bhi chashm-e-purnam se girtay rahen
Aur zigar se dhuan bhi nikalta rahe.

Dear Chowk and Chowkies

It is nice meeting you guys on this forum. The people who complain about the relegious abuse and lower standards on chowk I offer Ghalib`s couplet

Maana nahi voh khudaparast, jao voh be wafa sahi
Jisko ho deen-o-dil azeez, uski gali me jaye kyon.

Happy birthday chowk.
