Why Most DOT.COMS Will Fail

I think Jay and a couple others are on the payroll.

To temporal,

Desperation at times can lead to knowledge. As you are doing now, please do read about kerala, read about the ruler of a kerala province who went to Arabia at the time of the prophet, became his deciple and spread islam in kerala. Read about the marxist of kerala who elected a communist govt in 1966. Read about the two kerala nuns who are saints. Read about Aadi Sankara the hindu reformer. Read about narayana guru temple at kaladi where the idol is a mirror, read the engravings on every temple, ``one caste, one religion and one god for the mankind``. Salute the karala genious that can sustain three religions at nearly 25% muslim, 15% christian and 60% hindu and still have 50% atheiests (marxists).

If you still have the book as a sovenier, read k for kafir. Read the TNT and the revelations behind such teachings.

And when you are ready, you and your family can stay with us in kerala, as guests of honour. I will take you to the madrassas where koran is taught in arabic, only at night classes, an economic and social set up where repeating koran can get no income. I can take you to the mosques where women are allowed to enter. I can tell you about the stylised hindu-muslim fights that happen once in a while where the neighbours hire outsiders to do the fighting so that neighbours are not commiting violence against the other. If you are lucky, I can take you to those fights, we know where it will take place in different years.

By the way dont get distressed by the word honour, in india it means respect even admiration, while in pakistan honour is synonimous with torture, violence and murder.

Regardless of what the latest `trend` may be, it goes without saying that the best thing that could have happened to the US econony is this air of start-ups and dot.coms. The increased efficiency, creativity and excitement has allowed many to push humankind`s thoughts and creations to higher levels. In the long run, we will be better off from the improvements left behind from this revolution.

I can see the benefits already.....working for a start-up that is anticipated to make great headway in the insurance arena (www.epolicy.com), I see our team bringing in all kinds of innovative ideas to the field of insurance, which has always been a slower and more conservative industry to change and bring online in the b2b arena.....

.....A good article regardless since some points do hold value for those start-ups which hire a bunch of 20 something leaders with great talent, but limited experience and patience factors.

For Jay Thackeray:

Gopi Nathan writes in keralakaumudi “Happened to read the disgusting news of students being suspended at Vazhichal Emmanuel College for wearing dhoti! Many would like to look at this an isolated incident. It is not. It is the symptom of a much bigger desease - cultural degradation!”

and

“The debacle at Vazhichal College is a bye-product of our own cultural degradation, which is surfacing in different fields. Our language policy has literally gone to dogs! The cultural and political climate of Kerala is deteriorating. The principal of the Emmanuel College is only a symptom. It`s high time we get rid of the disease itself, instead of treating the symptom alone!”

They are crying aloud for your wisdom. Upto the challenge?

From dawn of today,

The mob mentality

By Aziz Malik

SOMEONE has, perhaps, rightly described Pakistanis not as a nation but a ``mob.`` This mob mentality is witnessed almost daily somewhere in the country.

When someone says the Kalabagh dam would be detrimental to the country, everyone repeats it in a chorus, including those who do not even know the `ABC` of the irrigation system.

When someone says that the devolution of power plan is ``a conspiracy`` to enforce One-Unit for the second time, everyone follows suit. We, as a nation, do not believe in trying to understand things by ourselves before joining the bandwagon.

This mob mentality was witnessed in Hyderabad on Sept 11 when a tax survey team visited Tilik Chaari to collect survey forms.

To his bad luck, a non-Muslim income tax inspector was in the survey team. He was reported to have made some derogatory remarks against the beard of a shopkeeper. He denied this but, nevertheless, apologised and was forgiven.

///When i read the article in dawn i was reminded of scout and others who rejoice vulgar utterings of one on the chowk.

To sac,

Read posts 1 and 4 of this thread and you will see that a contributer on chowk has tried to claim to be Oscar Wilde t.

I am no saint not to rejoice at the fall of one who had been personally nitt picking at many. Post 1 on this thread itself is a good example. His previous response to another Joss article also was deplorable.

A self styled know it all, better than thou is, at last where he should be.

Jay.

Khush raho aur Chowk kay liya kuch likho.

Aap kay paas nau mun taile hay, ghungroo bhee aap na khareed liyay hoNgay, Radha tou hay hee paRRos maiN, aur samnay wali khiRki ki Nutan, saaghar aur meena bhee aap kay haaN aasani say milti hay phir kis baat ka intezar hay? Bus jaldi say likhna shr’u kijiyay.

Pankaj Bhai,

aap to baray `aafat ka par kala` niklay.

Nau man tel ka intazaam to ho gaya hai par phir bhi Radha nakhare karti hai ki ghungharoo nahin hai. Naach na jaane aangan teda. Are ghungaroo to peeche almaari main rakhe hain. God(lap) mein bachcha shahar mein dhindora.

Ghora ghaas se yaari karega to khayega kya. Ab Ghore ki baat chali hai to `` Shahsawar hi girte hain maidan-e-jung mein``. Jung mein dushman ko naako chane na chabwa diye to mera naam bhi .... nahin. Daant kaati roti thi jisse, wahi ab dushman ban gaya hai, to uske daant khatte karne se bhi peeche nahin hatoonga. Waise sawan ke andhe ko hara hi hara soojhta hai.

Baaki phir kabhi.

Cheers

Isn`t it all about the `Survival of the fittest`

Jay:

Can you please explain your fascination with Oscar Wilde? Is it some sort of subconcious display of comradeship with the gentleman on count of his affection for the male variety? You would have been a worthy subject for Freud. Too bad he is dead.

Boy I`d pay top dollar for locking you and ylh up in a some patel motel for a couple of days.

Surprising, I also know about the one you said,``bhanmati ka kunba joda``. And as far as I know the ``bagal mein choori`` proverb is at least a century old. The reason why many of the indian interactors were not aware may be that most were either from South or born and bred in US. Before partition there was a mixture of Hindi and Urdu which was spoken in the Gangetic plains of North called Hindustani. Lucknow was the center where this confluence climaxed to give a ``Lucknawi tahjeeb`` the vestiges of which are still alive in some parts of the city. After your confirmation I guess( I was not sure earlier) there is still much common between textbook Hindi and Urdu taught in Pakistan. Is se pahle ke mera guide aa jaya mein ``nao(nine) do gyarah`` hota hoon. Kahin usne dekh liya to ``siir mundaate hi oole`` pad jayenge. Waise dekh bhi liya to kya bigad lega, thoda daant hi lega na. Akhir mulla ki daud masjid tak hi hoti hai. :)

Cheers

RE:Pankaj # 17

Yes, the ``Ghar Ka Bhaidi`` is taught in Urdu classes and I was surprised to see that you were taught ``Baghal Main Churi....``; I always thought that it was post partition Paki invention. Some of other Indian interactors at Chowk also seem to imply that.

Anyway there are a couple of others that might interest you:

``Kahan ki eent kahan ka roRRa, Bhaan Mati nay Kunba Joora``

and

``Nah no mun tail ho ga nah Radha naachay gi``

Temporal,

Havent you realised that the rooster has swollowed, digested & crapped Jay out? Indians & POakistanis alike agree that he sounds like chicken sh *t.

No point trying to change a lost cause. The only way to deal with chicken sh *t is to give his posts a wide berth.

Scout,

Nice to see you awake.

Jay.

AN EPITAPH,

Do unto others before others do unto you, it is not by oscar wilde, could be J. Christ or any one. Some people tend to be archytypal, on the chowk there is one that epitomises the small mind, the pedantic, the nitt picking, the one who has long forgotten to have a laugh. This type do not contribute good or bad, they are just a source of irritation, the ones carrying the burden of keeping the moral fibre, to keep the world going round. These have the exagerated desire to be moderators on the chowk, they comment on every thread, poetry to politics, always at the nitt picking level, like a mosquitto, singing in the ear, crafty enough not to get smashed.

Rarely does an opportunity come to smash these irritating creations, and I am not the one to miss it.

This is an epitah to Omar Wasim Tehsin, who passed away yesterday, when walked in front of a road roller, busy preparing a cyber highway.

May he be reborn with some sense of humour.
