Innocence, Loss and Nagan Chowrangi

Dear Moe,

Bravo. Thoroughly enjoyed your article, bought back some old memories....thanks

``I know she kept a majlis during Muharram ``

oh, the great Kaali Shalwar. awesome!

Moe,
i enjoyed the way you wrote this...Some of the lines were hilarious! Keep writing more and posting it no matter what some detractors may say....I am almost inspired to direct a movie based on this story ;)
Also an intimate perspective on the underbelly of Pak saaf society...The dichotomy of jainamaz and koranic verses in almost every house and the rank poverty, bad hygiene, beggary, robbery, profanity, vulgarity, lawlessness all around.

Peace

So, it was more like Felini`s ``whore`` in 8-1/2. Wese, pynchon`s spy/mathematician/``whore`` Katje would take my oscar for the best literary creation in the genre...

good, good writing. it could work as a shortstory if the narration`s tightened up just a wee bit.

Very good!

I know what it feels like to be taken so forcefully against your own will....

Once a physical virginity is lost, it cannot be replaced.....

and once the spirit is wounded, the body doesnt care anymore......

Prayer brings the body dignity, and any man cant take it away.....

You can rape, you can pillage
You can drive it in harder or softer

Faster or slower.....

It makes absolute no difference

because its just the flesh....the mere body.....

The spirit can no longer be touched by you......the rapist, the molestor, the buyer of a prostitute in this case....

After my unwilling rape in 1995, it matters not what can happen to my body.....

No man can do anything to it......

I mean they can create physical pain and pleasure.... the two do tend to go together simultaneously........sometimes anyways......

But the point I am trying to make it that no man or woman can take your dignity away...no matter how horrific the act might seem......


Prostitutes are not born.....

They are made! by the vile desires and lasvicious desires of Unclean and Unchaste Men and Women.......

Mary Magdalene was a prostitute........

I rest my case..... if there was ever one .........

I hope this has been instructive.....

Although I am glad the author had a blast....

Hey, Men have Phalluses and they need release......

Such are the matters at the base of all things.......

Footnote: All events and protagonists are fictional. Reality is an illusion.


After reading the disclaimer above, I just mentally shifted the article from the ``Sociology`` shelf to the `` Comedy & Laughter`` section .......

You have at least introduced us to Mohammed Bokhari sahib!..but we`ll not tell anyone that you know him.

P.S:by the way, Good story-telling , rich in detail as well as nuances.
