i may have made relevant comments on this article in august i think. but now i cannot help say something about your article in Daily Dawn's images-titled disneyland. it was ter-ribticklingly funny. brilliant piece of writing. if it was not so funny, one would have cried at the pathogenically, poignant pathos of the scenario behind the funny veneer. why did you write kesc in the same Vein? i had to like reverse and see, and it was written kesc certainly.asif the brunt of humor was borne at this point, i just couldna stop laughing. amusing to conjecture, if the kesc really got to be there, then the whole disneyland will be running on {[kunda]} system!

Pretty good approach of viewing the drama in talk show like 'CRYPTICAL TALK'. I hope Abid Pir will get chance to read this satire and have a laugh on himself. Imima Khan and Lussi Zafar are rocks only on Talk shows and should be banned from tv, thanks to periodic time checks, they appear less then the tapal chai.

Pleasure to read. Thank you NFP!

Mazay ka tha!

Its just Hamid Mir's showdaism in the show..Nothing less, nothing more..And the shocking repetition of news breaks and stupid breaking news are just to hinder the talk..A time check at every half past hour is irritating to the extremes..The private channels have rudely lost their aesthetics and between a talk show and a song this unnecessary pounding of clock is just bizarre.

An excellent satire, inter alia, on 'breaking news' in talk-shows on our TV.

A naked dog! Hahaha! Why not show it live toe-chained with a she-dog, without a burqa, in broad day light: a more entertaining show than Lasi Duffer and the Burqa Bibi, with imami khan sand witched in between, enjoying both ways.

A real break-news: power went off.

Bloody hilarious! I'm still laughing so can't analyze right now. And probably won't.

wonderful.such a mild commentary and a true caricature which is so amusingly typical of our TV programs, the people concerned with TV programs, the guests interviewed, the political groups and their highlights, and something for prevention of cruelty to animals. you know how dogs run after their own image in the shinning wheel caps of cars will hav to deliberately get it noted, do toy trucks have them too.keep it up i mean your articles in dawn daily too. refreshing sense of humor i can digest politics only this way. i was dowite but never ji ymo or nsf. yet when there were no clashes these parties were the spice of life of the college activities which now form part of memory lane only.

Excellent, Fantastic, Done!
NFP you never disappoint me.

cumRAN Khan is another bullshit.
his quests on call always forget what exactly the question was about?

BTW What the hell is

Agar fiqr insaaf ki hey tou zara souchiye!
(DING)
Money drainage for what?

NFP

Sure glad that you have not lost your touch!

That naked dog addition was really something else.

But next time PLEASE let Imami Khan tell us what he knows

and we do not.....

More like BRAKING NEWS not BREAKING NEWS...

Hilarious and very true.

And, why in heavan's name must everything be rationalized, justified and apologized for as somehow better than anyone else but terrible, but wait that is someone else's fault.

LOL! Loved it. Top satire, capturing well the over the top madness of Pakistani TV channels. Hamid Mir must read this.
