Brown Bengali? Or Brown Urdu, Brown Hindi?
Are we talking Gulabi?
Anyway some interesting symbolism here.

seen something like this before. Sensuous, silken, yet that raw touch or douche, whatever!

But by god Mahim you would be one hell of a women to know.

Ms. Versey

Well, what can I say. I beleive in Punjabi saying:

Khullay Khaao, Nangay Nahao, hor jaan shaan banaao.

I used to like skinny TV antennas until a few months ago but now I am reverting back to Renaisaance paintings.

Bon Apetito

(I am not translating Punjabi saying cuz it is not that hard to understand.)

Mahim:

As someone on this Board would have one say, tomar kobita khoob bhalo achchee...cheshta korbe na, parantu badichaar nostalgia hobe ke maccheret

hobe? [Why the heck am I assuming that you know Bengali? I think nostalgia tastes good:)]

Urstruly:

Hey, the whole `aurat jaati` is not anorexic. Most desis are good cows, holy or wholesome. Just for the record, I love my food, I think it is sexy. And yes, I `play` with it as well. Well?

Farzana

Howdy y`all

Sorry to take to your space Mahim but I would like to make a request to Chowk Staff, if possible, to designate a special section on the site which relates to all Charitable organisations working in Southeast, i.e. Pakistan, India, Bangladesh etc etc. The spot would include such details as their contacts, history, missions, their systems of functions, methods of fund collections, annual outcomes, personal experiences of people who`ve worked for charities, useful ideas, methods of setting up the organisations etc etc and we could all contribute our own little bit to this knowledge.

I`ve heard many people say that Chowk is a bekaar vela place meant for useless chatter and maybe it`s true but I`m not quiet willing to believe that just yet. A single water molecule is nothing but get enough of them and they become `wet.`

All in favour say `yay`.

Umer Murtaza Phoenix.

I dont know how will I sound more stupid; by commenting on it or by keeping quiet.

Anywho:

I have a question from whole Aurat Jaati, why dont they get over this self-imposed annorexia and start eating and enjoying food instead of just ``playing`` with it. When is this Kate Moss episode is gonna end?
