Pakistan, a Different Country!

#291 hamidm: while masadi is a harmless ranter (like the rest of us) on chowk, you have a point about the harm he could be doing to his students with his talk about the US being an evil nation and so forth.

i say this because of a real life experience - in my first job in pakistan, i was offered a phd scholarship to the US. my boss tried to discourage me from going by saying something i am sure masadi tells his students. This is what he said as i recall "You are a student of development economics. Why do you need to go abroad to study development economics when all of Pakistan serves as a lab for you to do your research?"

This would have sounded high minded and rational - except that this man had just returned after 17 years at some university in the netherlands (leaving his dutch wife behind and marrying a pakistani girl half his age on his return). This sounded as hypocritical to me as masadi - having spent time in the US himself and returned (because he had no real choice, I would bet no matter how much he denies it), now wailing out to HP and others to "come back to Pakistan" and no doubt advising his students to spend their lives like the proverbial frog in a well.

I've heard stanford, MIT, harvard and ucla need subjects to study the effects of inbreeding...

your choice is simple: east coast or west coast

Re: # 293

aleph mian,

you are right in asking tahmed, "who died and bequeathed to you the post of censor-at-large of interaction on Chowk? "

........ the news of my death are premature

Re: # 293

alephnull mian,

.....i don't think we have to worry about arjun mian any more - he has accepted a position with the brookings institution as a senior fellow, pakistan studies ...

#293 alephnull: bhai meray, where am i calling for censorship? i have a right to comment on what someone writes, and i am doing that.

tahmed #251

{{if i need someone to scan the internet for irrelevant material, i would get a cat. so quit dragging in these dead mice you keep posting to prove that the whole world hates Pakistan like you.}}

Janaab tahmed32 esquire:

May I ask who died and bequeathed to you the post of censor-at-large of interaction on Chowk? Arjun is perfectly entitled to present his point of view whether or not it contradicts your most fondly held notions. If you don't want to read his factual posts nailing your latest stupidities to the mast, please learn to use the scroll bar on the right edge of the window or the Page-Up and Page-Dn keys on the right-hand side of a standard keyboard.

arjun mian,

.... i understand the brookings institution, cato institute, hoover institute and the aei are looking for resident scholars and senior fellows with expertise in pakistani affairs ........... have you thought of applying ?

Re: # 290

bj,

.... don't under estimate the pesky mosquito - it is responsible for millions of deaths across the globe every year ..... it is a threat big enough that the likes of bill gates, bill clinton and bono have joined forces to fight it .......

..... similarly, masadi might be an inconsequential flea plagued by feelings of sexual inadequacy, but he poses a grave threat to future generations ...... i am worried about his 'students' even though they attend bennington university of gowalmandi (affiliated with flushing university of south dakota) .... we must stop this mad man

.... thank you for your support ..

Hamidm2 miaN,

Do you, by any chance, every time swipe away a mosquito, also jump up and shout in delight...

"Woh maraa!"

Re: # 283

dear chowkies,

.... thank you for your support in driving away mad masadi .... the people have won ! ...see, what we can do if we stand united?!

.... but we must be vigilant and keep up our guard - sooner or later, this weasel will pop up his head and we should be ready to knock him back into his hole ....

.... now the distinguished indian and pakistani scholars of this think-tank can continue their intellectual discussions on geopolitics, monkey weddings in orissa, the environmental impact of defecating on railway tracks and tahmed's imminent prophethood .........

kumar bhai sahib: What you say about "unwritten" procedures is fine. And that in fact reinforces what I am saying!! So please explain it to pandit arjun. (he is after all a fellow Indian, and charity begins at home). :-)

arjun #270-277 or whatever: you can provide any number of links on the internet (like any pea-brain can) on immigration issues, and that does not change what I told you in the beginning - no country shares its internal visa clearance procedures with the public.

[I am voluntarily "banning" myself from this site for atleast a week,]

Hamid mian, finally the moon god has listened to your wishes, and you might get a visit from gabby. Enjoy your week of peace, my friend.

thank the lord for small mercies!
