Ali - A little too late but thanks for the clarification now I know not to take ``balti`` gosht literally : )! I was intending to visit Pakistan next year - just to take in the raw beauty of the Indus valley areas and to stay away from the larger cities. But going from some of the other interacts I dont know if that is a good idea.

anNY# 107,

Hello there.I`m back, sorry for the belated reply.

So you like vimto ? is it not one of the best drinks ?.I know exactly which shop u r pointing to, so InshaAllah will track it down in my next visit .anNY , benz was a fruit juicy drink, i think it was non carbonated [ mango flavoured ] extremely sweet.it was mango coloured[yellowish orange] and came in glass bottles.I think it was around the late sixties it was very popular. i never did like it , though i do know of people who would love to have bets , and the winner buys them a few crates of benz !

I am not a paya fan, at all , but I specifically inquired for you .Apparently there is a hotel in `Bolten Market ` which sells the best payas .I am not to sure about the location of Bolten market. U seem to know karachi inside out, so hope you find it .

Also usmania hotel [ in gulshan ] supposedly sells the best lamb roast , and there chapli kebabs are also worth a try .I have personally not tasted both these things there but people find Usmania quite good ! try it , and tell me what u thought !

I love elechees .... something i miss here , amongst so many other things .... we getonly the canned stuff here , which is no fun at all .Do u like cherries ? the cherry season is fast aproaching here ,and we have a cherry tree in our backyard .Any morning the hue will change from greenish pink to dark purple / magenta [whatever ]. I love all kinds of berries , though strawberries i feel is an overated fruit to some extent .Last summer we had stopped in England for a few days and saw a bit of Wimbledon. Without a doubt, i was questioned first whether i had strawberries and cream ? and about the excitement of the game as an afterthought .Thankfully i had some , and so could offer a smile :-

I think we have very well jointly discovered new eating places , and enjoyed the flavour of old ones ! and anNY ... of course i will make Faalsa ka sharbat for you ... infact next time InshaAllah we will drink it together !cheers :)

Rozaiba, aicha , Eklava , Aamir , and all , thanks for joining in the fun . It has been a pleasure interracting with all of you .

And anNY, [I dont like mangoes with the same passion as many others ]Shushhhh .... urstruly na sun lein ...... leney key denein parth jaien gae .......

Take care anNY ... God Bless , and lovely chatting with you .We sure have to meet now !

with all my love ....

shirin

Dear Aicha,

Please dont feel apologetic. We commit far greater sins here every minute without batting an eyelid. You are a pleasure to read. I would hate to see you down with any feelings of guilt.

ali1 bhaijaan, that blooper was positively shameful given that I am a Lucknowite!

*hangs his head in shame and prepares for his janaja...err janaza *

aap (j)zaroor aayen mere janaaz(j)en mein :)

Dear Aamir - Pls accept my apologies also if I ahve in any way hurt your feelings. I never intended to : ( and taht is the truth. Your apologies are not ness. I did lose it there and felt baad after those 2 posts. It is hard for me to write this but I may have started this unpleasantness but pls believe me taht wasnt my intention. I hoep we get to interact more on other things as I said I really enjoy your wit and sarcastic humour and appreciate the respect you accord women and taht you look out so much for your brethren across the border - so pls lets just have some fun and more

aicha

aicha, ali, aamir

No problems. Let`s move on.

Aamir - I forgot to add - rest assured if I need to say something to you I will. I hate going thru third parties and never have. So pls stop trying to twist what I say out of context. If you have a problem with what I said to someone pls do me the courtesy of not involving the other party and tell me off only. I overlooked your earlier remark ``you are a 4 yr old`` simply because there was only one way from taht pt - downhill ie ``you are a two yr old``.

Eklavya - I have to apologize - didnot realize this would take such a turn. Never was my intention to start with. I do realize now it si better to add several disclaimers to preempt any nonsensical notions.

Having said taht I hope we can move on.
