Well, MeiraJ...

There are certain things beyond your imagination... and that's how it is!
You may have an absolutely different perception of womanhood or whatever, but things are like that down here.
Besides, that's Fo and this society for you. THIS reviewer has nothing to do with it.

by the way, thanks for the fantastic comment!

I couldn't agree with you more bittersweet, its a pathetic review, what has the world come to, when women are spoken of in this way:
"secrets..." of "eastern women" "processes of pregnancy"

YUCK!

Oh this reviewer has certainly no idea of what RK was tapping into...

He merely reviewed it for the sole purpose of "just writing another review"...big deal, no?
OK. My mistake. I give up.

Get over it.

Dear God, are the comments in 4 and 5, attributing to my name-itself? No, sorry gentlemen, that is not allowed -- though regretfully I don't know why he adheres to proletarian excesses (such as the language this reviewer has made use of) some things are just not free, nor for open discussion, least of all in this manner.
Rahat has one of the most pure Urdu accents I have ever known, what an odyssey it is, to hear him speak -- though the rest of the Napa crew, and their aims...

fall short of all my expectations. So I half agree with the slaughter-house, but only half-way, gentlemen!

Though why he would translate this title to: "Jungle mei Mangal Bazaar" ---...its not an aesthetic feat, as far as I can tell. I wish he would tap into other issues.

Urstruly,

Fantastic! lol...God, I can't stop laughing.
But I wonder if the ol` German ever made such a score by only talking about proletariat and free sex. Or even Gramchi tried to push chicks in bed by disclosing Imperialism and talking about 'red dawns'.
There are no bed et al in 20 years solitary imprisonment, dude!

However, your paindoo cousin is surely an interesting allergory to "perptual losers in the past", as you called them. You certainly have a point here!

I thought the latest fad to score chicks is to hint others that you could be gay, transvestite, or transexual. I see limp wristed punk all over the media. Recently, I attended a marriage ceremony in a remote village in Punjab where I met a young paindoo relative of mine who was wearing leather, studs, and rainbow colored mohawk hair. His mother was having heart palpitations but a guy has gotta do what a guy has gotta do.

Talking about proletariates, red dawns, and free sex was a fad among perpetual losers in the past - ganja and chars not withstanding.

well, Leena, the proletariat has no money these days to watch a play like this one.

Of course, the proletariat will lead their own struggle, if there is any. And if they don't, let it be.

M.

It's on Fo, not Rahat Kazmi. And btw, what's exactly your point?

Oh Inam, always the bold issues being:
"bold issues, such as the process of pregnancy and baby transplantation"
what are we ever going to do with you?

Good for Rahat, he always wanted to do that play, though Mohsin? Ayman? are you serious?
