#410 Posted by hamidm2,

Yes, the majority of Baluch are actually not in Baluchistan (except the Sardari tribal levies and some nomadic tribes). They're more in South Punjab and Sind. The real population of Baluchistan are Brahvis and Pushtun.

Brahamdagh is an angry young man, propped up by bharat, whose own family clan does not support him. And here we have HP thinking he's the 'voice' of Baluchistan.

Of-course why wouldn't he? He's a Sindhi separatist himself. If he didn't hate macacas so much, he would be sojourning too to macacia looking for support.

Re: # 408

zeemax,

.... i was born in quetta and when i was growing up i spent most of the summer vacation in my grandparents house on gurdat singh road, but i never met a baluchi ! ...... all the people i knew, including the shopkeepers near khanbaba's store on prince road, hafizullah mamoon's restaurant on alamdar road and inaytullah mamoon's hotel in liaqat bazar were pushtuns ..... actually most of the people on alamdar road were funny looking hazaras ...... my grandfather spoke dari and everyone else i knew spoke pushto .... the only person who spoke baluchi, kakri and brahui was another mamoon who was the black sheep of the family involved with smuggling, gambling and other not so nice activities .... grandma blamed it on the baluchi scoundrels he ran around with even though we never saw them (it seems they only come out at night)....

... who are these baluchis? ..... even the baluch regimemental center is located in abbotabad in pakhtunkhwa ! ......... go figure

... until they put up a sign saying you can watch Geo on the internet only in Pakistan...

Instead of going through Geo website, c/p this directly into Windows Media Player in the 'Open URL' window:

mms://stream.wmlivesvc.vitalstreamcdn.com/live_stream_geo_tv_geolive



This way you can watch it anywhere.

HP,

HP, I see you're jumping up and down over Brahamdagh Bugti. What're your comments re Brahamdagh's position that Pushtuns exist only in the 'geographical' Baluchistan, that all resources exist in Baluch-only areas, and the Pushtuns can stay or leave or do whatever they want?

hp,

.... do you realize that the world series, stanley cup and the super bowl were held on time even during the great depression, ww-I, ww-II, korea, vietnam, osama-I, desert shield and desert storm ..... actually, super bowl XXXVI was delayed for a couple of days by the silly antics of the crazy moslems but, by and large, sports has always been more important for the american people than some silly war .......

........ what does that tell you ? .... our resident sheikh chilli, tahmed, might think that the schoolyard tiff between a droopy-eyed cj and the tin pot dictator of a ganna republic really matters, but we - the people who matter - don't give a rat's behind until the stanley cup is over .....

go redwings !
aml zindabad !

p.s. i think the future of pakistan lies with the aml and, inshallah, in the near future i will be hosting a fund raising dinner for my garain, the indomitable sheikh rashid ....

pssssst..hamidm: watching redwings certainly puts you ahead in your quest to get a "gora certificate" to put on your fridge. i understand though that in order to be a real black..er white..belt gora, you need to stand on one leg all tuesday night. So..its tuesday..get to it!!

HP: actually I dont even have Geo (used to watch it on the internet until they put up a sign saying you can watch Geo on the internet only in Pakistan - so now I watch aaj on jumptv.com).

Today though the missus ordered Geo and aaj plus Pakistan TV to cater to summer refugees from Pakistan (who complained last year about US TV not understanding that Pakistan is the center of the universe).

صدر مشرÙ? Û½ آمريڪا مان آيل Ù‡Úª Ù?ون ڪال!

I am reading a Sindhi paper and the columnist is really upset that Bush called to save mush. He wrote when everything now in the world can be done remotely,then Mush can be President remotely. He thinks it would be a good idea to get Mush a house near Penn ave and he can be Pak President via VPN.

I think I like this idea!

"the future is on its way ! even bin laden dies his beard for sex appealling the camera"

That reminds me I read somewhere that a plane is parked at chaklala to take some VIPs away. Well, I thought perhaps it was time for OBL and Alzhwari to move to gitmo. I mean how long could Mush hide them in the army house basement?

"for now i am more worried about the redwings .... maybe thursday after the big party i will start worrying about the motherland - nothing is expected to change by then ... is it?"

Hamid,
I stopped worrying about the sporting events a long time ago. All big events are fixed like the IPL in India!

I don't know if things would change by thursday or not but the way they are back there, situation would always be fluid. I know tahmed sleeps with one eye and keeps the other eye glued to Geo. I would say ask Tahmed to send you a text msg as soon as droopy eyes take over. Mush does not interest me anymore. He is under house arrest in the army house...It is just not public yet...

So don't worry, but watching redwings...yacky! How do you know where the puck is? To me they are just perpetually hitting, running and skating for something no one can see.
Ice hockey is boring. Hockey needs some kickass cheerleaders.

Re: # 397

..... they also showed his grandpappy's blown up cave and wrist watch on tv and nothing happened .... big deal! ..... all the people who matter are watching zeetv and oprah - the rest are standing in line for atta or are in the dark because of load shedding ......... the more things change the more they remain the same ...... for now i am more worried about the redwings .... maybe thursday after the big party i will start worrying about the motherland - nothing is expected to change by then ... is it?
