Please take an Orwell prescribed clarity pill.
I don`t understand why your review para of Gandhi`s collected works should have you congratulate me?

Now this is called running with the hares and hunting with the hounds -- with finesse -- with an unorthodox unmuddled `clarity` -- of riding two boats at the same time trying to drift in opposite directions -- called objectivity and balance -- great achievement Ms Sarwari -- congratulations!

Musharaff using his violence to give India a bloody nose can hardly be considered as an heroic act unless as a civilian your Jernail or Kernail Chachujan has not been cured of his nightmares since 1971.
The fact remains that kargil was plain stupidity that exposed Mush and he had to stage a coup to avoid court martial against him.
Coming to his contributions after the coup:-
If Mush was able to do something about his own Jehadis and stopped the indoctrination of Pakistanis achieved through the Jehadist curriculum by modifying the education system, If he had done something to expose the mullah`s propaganda about Islam, If he had done something to stop the MMA and so many other mullah parties who now have occupied the political vacum artificailly created by him- Then I would have given him some credit in doing some good for the Pakistan.
Unfortunately his sins outweigh whatever riches he may have brought to his friends and coterie of boot lickers in the industry. Sorry, he only remains one of the world`s best known dictator only!!!

well done! You said it all.
Now can you tell us all who the characters of The Animal Farm are?
I guess you guys have buried good old snowball in karachi and have a bagh-e-snowball. Napolean is running the show. Mr Nawaz ``Jones`` Shariff has been runout along with his pet Benzy ``Raven`` Bhutto. The rest?
When will the animals in the farm revolt? That is an interesting question for all of us to speculate on.......hhhhhhmmmmmmmm

Re: # 38
The fact that you pay so much attention trying to analyze what I say, and do a bad job of it, is very telling of how little I need to do to get you skunking of heeng.
As a great poet once said, ``all Indians are Macacas.`` All of you combined in your intricate dance of back-scraching have not come up with a single point worth debating about.
So this is the best you can do, speculate who domiates my marriage, or who`s catching up with who in scoring articles. And that I have typos.
Amazing!

Out of this Sarwari_Manto duo, clearly Manto is the prime mover. He drives the discussions.
Ms. Sarwari is a (sort of) writer in her own right - in a way she perhaps is – if one could be allowed to use the term loosely (just look at her numerous typos, for example).
They both take their writings seriously – to the extent of their highly limited ability to understand things and within the scope of their extreme handicap in using common-sense reason.
However, Ms. Sarwari also has to take care of the three children (including Manto), so probably has less time available (and if my guess was right, perhaps additional duties too in other roles). Therefore, the two or three “articles” of her that I have read here have been, in my view, mostly highly crappy cut-and-paste jobs. In fact, she is on record saying that an article on Gandhi she did last year was put together in less than two hours (which perhaps speaks volumes about this site’s ability to quality-control) and by comparing with this article, her approach to writing has not improved a long way from then.
They did not compare notes on their writings - perhaps a matter of pride for Ms. Sarwari – and because no comparisons were made, they would not be on the same page, of course! A classic case of the female spouse trying to emphasize her independence – in the land of Jinnah’s golden Pure – a concept which probably guides them like a light and a light which perhaps lights up their nights very bright – made all the more important to their sagging morale because that khaki darkness surrounds the rest of their compatriots – especially of the fair sex variety!
And when criticized, of course there are plenty of two-bit stooges who would make insulting personal attacks on Ms. Sadna – as if that changes anything about their own crappy writing – not to mention the underlying crappy “Muslims are exclusive” thought process!
These are the “fathers” of the future Jerrys of Pakistan – and it has been said!
“The child is father of the man!”

aisha,
......... even though i think you are being overly generous to the goon in khaki who has corrupted and undermined every single institution in pakistan, it was a great review .......... anything that brings out frau sadna and her protege, bjkumar, out from the bunker to bay at the moon is worth reading ...........
from her kennel beneath the rock
she maketh answer to the clock,
four for the quarters, and twelve for the hour ;
ever and aye, by shine and shower,
sixteen short howls, not over loud ;
some say, she sees .........................................

Aisha
I have also read the book. Great review and very well done. You are an excellent writer. Thanks.
On the side note, please note that the Economist, with all its bias, grudgingly acknowledges yet, painful though it is to read, this is a quite remarkable book, about dramatic events and, as the occasional sentence lets slip, an interesting and impressive man.

Hamid, 41
you and sadna are a match made in heaven - why don`t you climb down from that tree and abduct her to sri lanka
LOL!

Dear Aisha,
Based on my review of your “review”, here are a few take home lessons for you:
(1) There is nothing wrong in writing a crappy “article” – countless people on this site do it. (I do fewer than many because I do fewer.) Just don’t attempt to pass it off as a legitimate article. Not only that fails to make it legitimate – it brings down the site’s credibility even lower!
(2) When you write a review – make it about the object of review, not about YOUR own controversial, crappy, and muddled-up ideas of highly doubtful legitimacy. In other words – you nead to actually READ the book you claim to be reviewing.
(3) Before sending in an article – read it yourself. That way you won’t look foolish with all those spelling mistakes.
(4) There is nothing wrong in enlisting the help of a hubby with a bit of housekeeping, cooking, diaper changing, and EVEN proof-reading. Enlisting such help will not severely damage the golden image of the land of the Pure!
(5) Do not count for anything more than empty rhetorical exhortations – and certainly expect absolutely no REAL help from fakers like Hamidm2. (Hint: Congressman Towns still awaits his campaign check!)
Congratulations on the new arrival and best wishes.
BJ Kumar

Now what was that about ``pants on fire``?

Dear ZahraJ,
I am posting my take on Aisha’s write-up here. But if you are asking me to post my view on the Mushy book, there are a few practical problems:
(1) To review the book, I will have to BUY it – and I have no interest in blowing my money away like the Pakistani crowds here (How do I know these people blow their money away? For documented proof, read #45.)
(2) Even more difficult than (1), I will have to sit down and read the words purported to come from that inveterate liar and Pakistan’s self-styled mai-baap called Mushy – and I do not have the patience to accomplish that spectacular feat!
(3) Even more difficult than (2), because of my pre-existing highly negative perception of that Kargil killer (which is in the same league as but perhaps on a smaller scale than the sour-puss-face vamp Jinnah whose TB-infested face would forever remain soaked with the blood of the Partition’s victims!) – it will be close to impossible for me to conduct a fair review of his book!
Therefore, ZahraJ, I hope you understand!
Sincerely,
BJ Kumar
