Re: # 81 Tahmed

``“I am blamed for everything,”

That is shameful behavior on the part of the Generalissmo. A ship`s captain is ultmately responsible for its well being. Nobody put a gun to the General`s head to act on Shaukat`s `recommendation` (if indeed that was the case). But if he did, then he should accept responsibility for it and quit blaming others. Also, Musharraf successfuly blamed Nawaz for Kargil -- he is one helluva slippery eel. I say screw the el Presidente. Long live the Chief Justice!

When the going gets tough....
....the tough point to their prime minister

(From Dawn)
No personal differences with chief justice: Musharraf
...Addressing a rally in the eastern city of Pakpatan, Musharraf termed the attack on a private TV channel a conspiracy aimed at lowering his image. He said he had “no personal differences” with Justice Chaudhry, and had acted against the judge after receiving a case against him from the prime minister. “I am blamed for everything,” state-run Pakistan Television quoted him as saying.

#74 Ally {``Urdu is no longer just your language it is the national language and therefore everyone in the country will know some of it at least to get by... ``}

Ally,
When you PPPs cure yourself of your verbal handicap and speech impediment concerning the Q and K; Kh and K; and Gh and G sounds, please come back and tell us that Urdu is your language too. :)

Bollywood actors, including Hindu ones, have done a wonderful job in adopting Urdu as the lingua franca of the Indian entertainment world. The least you could do is to emulate their success. You guys not only massacre us in our own city, but do you have to butcher our language too?

#58, Hamidum2 {``when i was growing up my maternal grandfather used to tease me for being the son of a `teez-mar` (gas-passing) `dal-khor` punjabi so i never wanted to be identified as a punjabi ....... but then he also used to say things like ``urdu sheer ast, farsi sheer o` shakar ast, pukhtu goz-i-khar ast `` (urdu is like milk, farsi is milk and sugar and pushtu is like a donkey`s fart`)``}

Hamidum Sahib,

Kheili mamnuman...Hal-e-shoma chetor ast?
Bebakhshid, what did your wise maternal grandfather say about Punjabi? To many of us it sounds like someone shouting very loudly and painfully with marbles rolling around in his mouth.
Urdu is merely a half-hearted attempt at preserving our wonderful Farsi language and adab that was forcibly taken away from us by the British in the early 19th century. :(

there is no such thing as a good dictator. musharaff should go sooner rather than later.
since we are in farsi speaking mode, musharraf should be aware of this saying, `agar dar khaneh kas ast, yek harf bas ast`.

Re: # 90 Hamidm

It has been already proved scientifically that Hanuman is much stronger than Allah.

Long time back a contest was held between the two - to see who can hit the other harder. Allah struck Hanuman so hard, he went flying and came back limping after 7 days (meanwhile Allah got time to create the world which he did rather badly). Then it was Hanuman`s turn, and to this day Muslims start their prayers with Ajaan ``Allah, where are you, come back.......``.

Re: # 86

naqsahbandi,

....... if bangladesh beat india and ireland beats pakistan, which is more than likely, it will prove once and for all that mo of mecca might be stronger than hanuman but he is still no match for st patrick and aab-i-zumzum is no substitute for green beer .........

``...The author of this ``reliable`` report, B. Raman, is one of the worst Pak-haters in India...``

Care to share any evidence to back your above claim?

Re: 80

The author of this ``reliable`` report, B. Raman, is one of the worst Pak-haters in India. While it is possible that the Corp Commanders sent a letter to Musharraf, I wouldn`t believe B. Raman if he told me that Monday came after Sunday or 2 + 2 = 4.

All interactors,

I hereby apologize to all the lawyers of the world for all the lousy things I have ever said regarding that profession!

I reproduce below a picture that Dr. Lokraj put up on UP. This picture is the reason, the ``cause``.

I would have considered it beyond belief - had not the image stared back so starkly!

My dear friend - the lawyer, I do not know who you are, but I salute you from my heart! And if it is any consolation, please remember that the path that you are following is the only path that still works - yes, even in this day and even in this age! I am not even going to name any names - and certainly not the great man who went down that path a long while ago!

My sincere best to you, my friend!
