Re: # 490 Okha do not show infantile disorder. You may not like but masdadi but masadi is unique.
masadi is not easy to understand like pure mathematics for retarts that does not mean real analysis is wrong.
Honestly 80% contributors have no mental capacity to sit at his feet. Many are like blind people who think sun is not there , its not fault of sun but blinds inability to see.
Good day.

Re: # 491 Thanks mr. Mujumdar for informing. I missed masadis logical postings. I am requesting mystic to tell me what is name of Pareshbabu's daughter ( It had beautiful meaning and sounding).
As a bengli is babu is degrading or elevating ? In that novel Pareshbabu is very thoughtful man and man of great control and is christian. Tagore always rfered to him has pareshbabu which I felt with reverence. Now a days "Babu" log means reasonably ( not highly educated) educated talkative person devoid of action is meant ?
I was able to find to state mr. Masadi is giving message worth thinking about. First he was neglected, then rediculed then condemned but he did not deter so they suppressed him from here.It is pathetic many writers are just producing western articles with some deshi masala.
If Masadi was slave and repeated and official line of West left and fake liberal he would have been praised. I suggest just like you let him be unbanned.
Presently not feeling well. So trying to calm and cheer myself , not brain working properly.So listening to music .
Late Malikarjun Mansur in maru Bihar in live performance is worth listening. Mansur definitely galaxy of great singer but is more difficult to appreciate . Its like higher class wine they say have little strange taste but practice makes palet undwerstand greatness, same with Mansur, comparatively less appreciated.Always wonder what is there in water and air to give so many great singers from so small geographical area ( Rajguru, Kumar Gandharva, Mansur,Joshi,Gangubai Hangal). Recently heard some music by bengali young singer Koshaki (Chakrabarti/ or Mhkharjee?)delightful presentation in Shudh Kalyan.
Now this Mansur , live recording.

This is to inform you with much regret that Masadi sahib has been banned again by chowk. However he will return shortly and respond to Toofan Payee and Zuber mian on the Atom Bomb and Saima Shah posts.

Regards

#287 Masadi

Higly respected and widely loved MASADI Sahib,

Too bad that you still have not been able to land a job as yet. Try registering on some online sites but I doubt that would help. You could also ask around for some morning car-cleaning/washing assignments. That might be more fruitful. Speaking of fruit, banana selling (retail) in good colonies can also be started with modest investment (or some credit).

Chowk- Wowk mein kuchh nahin rakhaa hai, aap jaison ke liye...

What I could not understand was your declared intent to join a lawyer. I think without a law degree that would be extremely difficult. Also, paagal wakeel kam hee hote hain..
Or maybe, you would want to be a clerk to a lawyer, munshi or something. Good. Kharchaa to chalegaa..




#276 & others - Arjun

Thanks bloke, I am fine. But I can see that you continue to spew venom against Pakistan as always.

Damn all homosexuals. Did you perform surgery on yourself to implant this silly idea?

Interacters who never knew me, now KNOW me!

Goodnight in down-underwear....

Re: # 462; Tahir mian,

Your obsession with everything I write here is a little unhealthy, if I may say so sir.....someone might get the idea you have a thing for me.....

....much as I respect your right to the 'alternative' life choices you might have made....I am really not that kinda guy!....if you know what I mean

I want to make it clear that I do not think that colonialism was good for India. My comments related strictly to their point of departure.

HP:

"This is a fairly common practice in Sindh and Punjab among the middle class families. Some Mohajir also follow that. This has nothing to do with religion."

I did not mean it had any religious origin; regret any such implication.

"I'm the ONLY one on Chowk who has actually lived for years in EACH of the four provinces of Pakistan, including some of its remote areas (not East Pakistan though my father was posted there as well) and not just visited like you Sain."

That is really good! But you still don't know much abt the country.
This is just pathetic.

And where did adam khan show me anything? He is just a Verkotey Angraiz who knows nothing outside Charsadda/Mardan.

Yeah right! you lived in Quetta when you were a kid and you know abt Baluchistan. What a joke…That was fifty years ago. Try and update your info and go in the Baloch areas.
You claimed you lived in Sarhad too and still Adam Khan showed that you know zilch abt Sarhad or the Pathans.

#478 Posted by hamidm2
“you except for the fact that there are very few baluchis in Baluchistan�

Find some good map of Balochistan and also check up the population numbers. Baloch are a majority in Balochistan. Pathans are a majority in 9 districts and the rest of the districts are overwhelmingly Baloch!

You go to Quetta and see for yourself how many Baloch live there now.

“by the way, did you know that detroit city has 'indian' casinos downtown ! ...... let's give the baluchis a couple of casinos in quetta and kalat and be done with it ..........�
Yeah! that would probably work:)

I am going to Toronto in the first week of August, will try and stop by if I have a day or even a few hours to spare. Wont mind a couple of hours in a casino.

Re: # 475

Massaddi Mian:

I know you read after you have written, the problem is that even then you miss by million miles.

7th century Arabs did not need raw materials, Massaddi Mian. Read definitions of Colonialism by Marx. These arabs needed to conquer land richer than theirs, and that is what they did. Your enslaved mind is a modern day proof, about the powerful product (ideology) and system (strategy) they had.

Please learn and define the system and see your ignorance. Entrepreneuriship and military, can you tell me a more oxymoronic statement than this?

Also, things you do not know you cannot revolutionalize, you may engage in mental masturbation as long as you wish.

#471 Posted by masadi
“The "rule of law" operates remaining within the constitution of a nation state which does not allow for it to be split apart by franchise, otherwise no nation state would survive and those with resources to influence the 51%,�

On principle, I agree with you. But Pakistan was formed on the principle of simple Majority and we can’t change that after Pakistan’s independence. A better system would give all provinces in Pakistan a constitutional right to secede based on 2/3 majority. But you can’t put that in constitution without the consent from all provincial units in Pakistan. Until they change the constitution, the original principle of simple majority has to be followed!

Baluchistan influenced by other powerful states? That should be decided by the Baloch. Similar to what Pakistanis decided after the independence. I have more confidence in the Baloch leadership to decide what is good for them.
Whatever they decide would be better than what the Pak army has decided for them.

HP Mian, my father was posted to Quetta for five years when I was in school.

Now stop your ibne-batuta stuff. Thanks.

Re: # 468

hp,

i would agree with you except for the fact that there are very few baluchis in baluchistan - and as far as i can tell there are none in quetta which is the only half way civilized city in that province ...... it would be akin to the chippewa demanding independence for michigan when i have never seen an indian in my twenty years here ......

..... by the way, did you know that detroit city has 'indian' casinos downtown ! ...... let's give the baluchis a couple of casinos in quetta and kalat and be done with it .......... issue closed ! .... now, can we move on, please ......

......
