#327 by GT,

How can I dare to do that? Echoboom is the Imam. I`m just a foot-soldier.

Boom sahib:

``The supreme clerical leader is our custodian (qayyem), and we are like sheep that if separated from our shepherd would surely be lost.``


Baa baa black sheep?

Zee please feel free to answer on Boom`s behalf.

Re: # 324

I think it has become a rule now that when these dictators, secularoons, liberaloons, and roshan khayal motherates are at the end of their rope then these scoundrels find their last refuge in Islam. Remember that secularist enlightened motherate Saddam Hussain, who after receiving jutaybaazi in the first gulf war, revised the design of Iraq`s flag and added Allaho Akbar to it. There were even some publicity pictures of him showing praying sitting at a mussalla. Pakistani chutiya is one step ahead of him- says he had opportunities to enter K`aba hence he is blessed and everybody must submit to him. ass whole.

Echoboom re Zeemax:309

...well here is one of the best satirical pieces about His hole-iness, the ghulaam-i-Saudia.
Pervez Muaavia seems to have gone bonkers....


Yes I had read it but worthwhile reproducing here.

The Chief Sarkari Maulvi ... he has made a fool of himself ... and to think someone thought he`ld not be ridiculed for his leading the prayers in Ka`aba on king`s payroll. What a munafiq!

... contd ...#320

Translation of just the last verse (best effort):

Just like the dew which cools the heart of a flower;
But a storm to instill fear in hearts of mighty rivers!

#306 by HP

Echo, Btw, the sina ba sina story I have heard is that Mush baba will be gone in early July. Provincial governments may go right after the budget. NWFP followed by Sindh.

I hope so but the signs don`t point in that direction. A complete muzzle on the press is in effect and particularly after the PEMRA ordinance of yesterday giving it powers to revoke licences (which it didn`t have before), it looks like GEO News`s goose is cooked which has been shut down since yesterday anyway. Besides Government has leaned on cable operators as well who have said they will stop delivering any channel which broadcasts anything against the army.

Pir Pagara has a strong argument when he says why would there be elections when the sitting government doesn`t have a political party. Would they have these for the opposition?

What do you think?

Folio, I was in Hyderabad on 2nd June and must say that it is one of our best cities in terms of cost of living and infra.........

However the Hyderabad of my childhood has almost disappeared.........What used to be a magnificient hilly area is know called Mahendra Hills with only a few rocks & boulders as a poor substitute for those hills....................

But the culture and food remain almost the same.........especially the Hyderabadi Biryani...............

Add on, Chennai,

Google is opening its campus in HYD soon. Watch out!

Nevertheless, there are 2 HYDs as we have 2 Indias (good and the ugly one) :-(
