Am I the only one who didn`t find this funny? And I think I AM the only one who doesn`t know what the C word means. Have come across it a couple of times in writing and have heard it being uttered as well but have no idea what it means. Don`t think I want to know either. But is it supposed to be something REALLY bad?

Rehan:

I personally found some of your other stuff more interesting. Maybe I`ll appreciate this work better after reading the book you mention? Or maybe watching you ``peform`` the whole thing out will help? :)

Zehra,

Thanks for the clarification. Mio Culpa, Rehan :)

Obviously my privileged Aitchisonian education is beginning to show. Like most of Hoodhbhoys recent article, that too was a big sham.

I had scanned the article, losing interest after the long winded introduction to the characters. Unlike scout it was all downhill for me after the chuut word.

Regards

Asim

...the C wali gali got my attention

it`s the only thing that kept me reading, to see why you`d call pico that....

i still haven`t figured it out, need to read it more carefully.

by the way, is it just me, or are there other people out there who`ve never heard of this Pico guy?

interesting read mr. ansari.
