i am curious to know the number and types of ADS which interrupted the flow of these talk shows.any How now some talk about the present. nfp sunday 23 11 08 images dawn some serious thoughts about fashion. what do the “fashion economistas� say about the influence of the anorexia nervosa bevy on the catwalk;upon the world of tailors who are eager to copy the topnotch fashion designs, for their middle class clients?and the world of clothing and textile,which these clients buy from to substitute for the best available, as regards the fall and the feel of the fabric, which will make their tailor’s effort worthwhile and look “exactly� (delusions notwithstanding) like the top fashion gear.also the world of ADS, for� keep slim herbal drinks�;and the clarity of the golden drop of cooking oil, which ensures no matter how much you drink er....cook in it, you will stay fat free and� cholesterol say paak�.and look so nice in the clothes fit for a slim model! is it not a large “economo� scenario i mean the entire world of tailors,�fabricians�, ads, slimming agents and do not forget the accessories and package deals!.

talk shows here do not mention any students anywhere.any way after reading your "blood Campus " i had to put in something here.students union yes.studentsunion elections yes. politics no.
i remember the times,when politics was a matter between the political parties and their student wings.the student unions had committees which had members,and any student with talent or interest in any field like writing, sports, photography, oratory, so on was without bias fairly accommodated.the student union elections, was an event full of excitement and fun.we waited with bated breath for it.student unions should have their elections as soon as possible.the pre-ban tradition will return soon.no need to wait for a code of conduct to be formulated.why then do i say no politics.because nowadays if you do not say that, the asses will assume that you will favor politics or you do not mind politics occurring on the campus. a “say no to politics� is a-(post zia) deterrent.

Re: # 12this is like my endorsed vehicle.i did not find critics r us in the list.but i cannot help commenting about it.so he re goes....Sunday Dawn images 17 Aug 08 “Critics are us� by NFP
your trait talk.it is typical, perfect.unmistakable.even in a crowd you would pick them out, and say “its them!�besides, such a good display of rather good looking snapshots.that shows care and choice!(specially Ardeshir and Imran).
tricks of the trait.you have used them before in more serious vein and in issues requiring insight, such as psycho-social issues.it is very important to understand whither psycho-social evolution, as per succumbing to or surviving internal and external forces.would that all political parties without exception, look into your articles.if they see a poor reflection of themselves, then they must take measures to improve their image, for the sake of good governance and healthy politics!say,measures like having a� cabinet� in the cabinet, containing remedies and solutions to correct one’s appearance.if they see their image as ‘dirty’ then they must know they are labelled as ‘dirty politicians’.so they must get the full range of face, hand washes and cleansing agents, to correct their image.if their hair appears uncombed and deranged.then they have resorted to pulling each others’ hair out.unbecoming political behavior!.they must apply a good hair styling and grooming and nourishing gel and get a peace loving look.if sore eyes, sore skin and sore lips, then get soothing eyewaash, soothing healing skin cremes, and medicated lip cremes and gargarismas (if foul words did accompany too much loose talk).
in these articles(nfp’s) we have a free expert opinion on the current sociological picture.and how it gets influenced by politics, or vice versa.we can see the roadmap and we can see ourselves actually moving in the direction of an evolution.we have the power of bringing to a standstill all movement, or to change the direction to our liking or drift till we become victims of change.
why dont we take advantage of this’free social commentary’.in the days of yore, people could not picture the historical change.now news dailies have put people in the daily moving picture.though sadly commentators of comprehensive ‘’social’’ change are but an available few......

it is a riot-this article.so National Formula Pharma is offering remedies.what is the remedy for being� not sensible�?when people are in the “sensible� mode,they are clear that all forms of suicide are wrong.trouble is that those who blow themselves up do not think that is suicide.so when the sensible get confused and cannot distinguish between “hara kiri, kame kaze, self immolation, self sacrifice and simply putting to sleep�, they must just run back to their stand-point-which says suicide is wrong.if they do not do that they will get paranoid and even withdraw from reality.

Nadeem:

This was funny. . . and since you're poking fun at just about everyone and everything, I cannot complain about what I thought I wanted to complain about.

Vaisey, aren't you hosting, or on a Talk Show yourself, or is that old news? :)

Very informative and extremely educational. There are things I have learned about that I didn’t know existed. Thank you Paracha Sahib. Keep up the good work, and continue exposing the ills of our society that are prevalent in rural, urban and suburban areas of Pakistan, as well as other places with cable and satellite TV receptions.

Talk Show is also reputed to be helpful in regulating the levels of good cholesterol (HDL (N)) and bad cholesterol (LDL (Q)).

Excellent!!!!!!

This is brilliant! I had to read it twice to get into the nitty-gritty nuances. NFP, the guys at Aaj, Express, dawnNews and especially Geo will be gunning after you. If they have any sense of humour, they'll love it. But I doubt Geo has any humour left in it. It is taking itself a bit too seriously as the FOX TV of Pakistan.
This is hilarious. Kudos, dude.

We still believe in politikal parties? Anyway, I liked this piece, better than the last one. The "nausea" is a suitable theme, but I wish we'd talk more on how the alternative exists. More like, something that answers what the 'other way of living' is.

But you convince me about the relevancy of Talk-Shows. lol

That was a hopeless attempt on being funny...
Any how the lack of objectivity is shameless.... Never mentioning that PPP goons are also on those talk shows defending themselves and their contradictions with zeal.
Any how though i agree that these talk shows mostly provide nothing but cheap entertainment and you to some thing to write about, they nevertheless at times do raise some important points. The only problem is that two dime politicians from your favorite party (PPP is an unsult to liberalism) are always on the back foot and which is why you are fanatically opposed to them. Interstingly PML (N) was apprecited by you as "mature " party in one your articles. It seems it has again become "immature" after the alliance with PPP is broken.
