Tahir mian, fantastic, even I cannot write like this, and coming from me that is compliment par excellence = ), as hamid would tell you I'm "pompous".

You should also know why Hamid is so mad at you, he is a wannabe, you're the real thing.

The plastic smile part is exceptionally well stated "This is her last and final plastic smile; she has already greeted and smiled three hundred times before."

You can be damn sure that just as she is deceiving you and the 300 others "for the job", she deceives her family and even herself....such is the nature of the corporatized society and how it destroys the human. 300 plastic smiles day in and day out and they say that the job the defines the existence based on the rules of the corporation, cannot translate into how you conduct yourself at home, they must be damn fools....

Attention all CHOWKidars:

A kangaroo that escaped from Manchester zoo, disguised as a surgeon, is accusing me of possessing nothing below the 'nara'. Some animals--when they see a behemoth below that very line--are in the habbit of labelling the event 'nothing'.

The animal is in throes of death wishing to know where I reside. The kangaroo has no clue how Muslim daughters are brought up: very differently from how female-kangaroos are raised in the bush.

Donate generously to fill the kangaroo's empty sack.

Re: # 319 (on allah mian's board); Tahir mian

I know "below the belt" doesn't matter to you since you have nothing there for it to hurt, but on a serious note, since you live in the very "shaitaan buzurg" that you seem to condemn, what is the guarantee your own daughter wouldn't turn out to agree with all this?

How would you feel your daughter being talked about like that....just show some maturity you so vehemently claim to possess..

"Brilliance is a special kind of arrogance that the ignorant are doomed to forever misunderstand."

Please copy paste and share liberally with Front pagers and off the wallers. You're on a mission ;)

Re: # 20
Thanks Hurricane sahib!

Brilliance is a special kind of arrogance that the ignorant are doomed to forever misunderstand.

Who said that? I did, just now...

Regards.

Tahir saab,

Very well written. Right touch of humor, surreal-ness, arrogance, and brilliance, if I may say so :)

644,

Queen willing, your complaint will hopefully be addressed in the next piece.

Dhoti to kilt is a huge jump for the sensitive CHOWK readers.

Re: # 14
The 'shielded dessert' came via 'Desert Shield', I'm sure you noted THAT!

My paragraph makes it quite clear that the operation was strictly 'line-of-sight' and which ended with very eastern self-censorship!

You may imagine what you like but remember that the good doctor from Toronto is always watching!

Regards.

Since Glasgow is in Scotland you’ve not mentioned Scottish people once, but kept on harping about English people and No they are not same, scots dress differently they wear kilts.

Tahir so was the "Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On" in your burkha the result of "Operation Shielded Dessert"

or was this a typo with the extra "s"?

And you are a pontificating little prig!

a good piece...it was hilarious and it was not at all a surprise.

Some of the most religiously conservative people (Urstruly for one - and urstruly can write some really good porno stuff with foot fetishes and works) write brilliantly.

However, in your case you sound way too rational when compared to tyour interacts on other boards!
