``Just to give an example: One may consider RSaxena a crazy fellow or a geek. In reality, he may be(ahem ahem ahem...)a very sweet and confident young lady from noth india, Raveena Saxena :)``

Thanks a lot for blowing my cover.

Dear Shankar!

Thanks bud for your word of appreciation. I hope, if you go through #2 & #37, you will get a pretty reasonable answer to your querries.

I would really appreciate if you could share with us some insight into the mind of such psychopaths with your professional experience and education. Or you have a choice to analyze this sociopath`s (that would be yours truly) mind for the entertainment of the interactors-it is being demanded also:)

Anyway thanks for stopping by and for your time to go through this narration.

Urstruly,

What do you know other than bigotry and squealing for Mother Hens` help?

Your insult of sadhna is typical chicken behavior. But I am sure Mother Hens wont be cackling in protest. They are just like you, bigoted and completely boneless.

You sound like quite a reasonable person; I wonder what makes you fall, occassionally, into the same insecurities that these people exhibit, whom you are addressing in your post. I think you can grow out of it.

Dear Shirin!

Any criticism is always more than welcome. I apologize if you felt an aggressive tone in my reply; I really really regret that. It was not my intention. Your point is well taken. By the way Inspector Sami did check under the fingernails as he was trained to do so. Since it would not have made any significant impact in the narration ``he`` did not feel the need to mention it.

A kichri is pukking in my mind right now about at least two stories-and both are in softer tones-I just went through a major ``Zachgi`` i.e. writing this story; its gonna take a little while to compose myself to prepare for another one. Until then keep THE wrists in your thoughts:)

Best regards,
Assad

Gowardhan

I always find it interesting when ``you`` people talk about backbone. I dont smack abc because xyz had said something to me. For example, I smack Sadna because he had said something to me and not Eklavya. And I smack Eklavya not because something Gowardhan has said to me.

And by the way Chacha Sadna is a bonafide bigot. he was given the certificate of bigotry by your very own bishop Mr. Tahmad321. And Tahmad has given a certificate of bigotry to yours truly too-so the way he and you ppl talk to me and incite others to talk to me suggested that I should talk to chacha sadna in the same way. So dont fault me for something that our bishop tells us to do.

And by the way, what the hell is an aicha? plz have decency not to attribute to me the things which I dont even know about. Or is it a backbone issue.

We have not insulted two most decent ladies. We have not called sadhna a RAW agent, kaali ma, or pmsing. We have also not called aicha names.

Get your head examined, you selectively reading bigot. Writing well is one thing. Having a backbone is quite another.

Still waiting for the other Mother Hen to begin cackling. Save you silly baby, MH2.

urstruly #156 ``Lets see what is your take viz a viz ``them`` on this.``

You are obviously more familiar with the posts in question than I am, and therefore can deduce ``my take`` by matching them to the Certification Requirements Numbers 1 through 4 (please see them listed in my Post #154 to scout who was cleverly trying to obtain a CCM when she is clearly not qualified). If, for example, these posters have been offensive to other posters (morons excluded) then they meet Requirement Number 2 and therefore may be eligible for Associate Certification. I hope this responds to your post.

I think the name of other writer was some Hayat, probably Safdar Hayat.

It might decrease some irritation.

tahmad321

Finding themselves entraped in the snare of morality that they had stretched around me; they had finally lowered themselves as low as insulting the interactors at this board. It is pathetic to see their desperation that they have insulted two msot decent ladies on Chowk who had never shown any hostality towards them-in any sense of the word. Is there any wonder I dont think much of them.

I dont think much of anything about you either; cuz it all boils down to character and teeth. Lets see what is your take viz a viz ``them`` on this.

Dear Ali1# 143, & Krashid

I am glad that finally you have spoken. You should have done it about 100 or so posts ago. Dair ayad Darust ayad. Ali1 please read my post # 75 that was addressed to Krashid. I don’t know what gave you an impression that I have lived all my life in West or India and have no idea what police does in our part of world. I have been there. Breathed through the tear gas and felt how a blow from a lathi feels like on you back in a baton charge or when your companions around you fall like flies and mosquitoes when police charges in.

As I said this story is not about glorifying police as an institution but to pay tribute to a police officer as an individual; who was instrumental in apprehending the perpetrators who were indirectly responsible for the murder of more than 300 people; property damage in millions, and hundreds of people who lost their businesses, and livelihood. People lost their own flesh and blood, relatives, and friends. I can never forget a khokhay walla Bengali who had his khokha around the street corner- if you can call a 4x4 a khokha who used to sell cigarettes, matches, paan etc. One day (during that incident) when he opened his khokha during one hour of curfew break down one week- a firecracker exploded near his khokha. A 10 year old just jokingly started yelling “hangama ho gaya, hangama ho gaya”. This Bengali came out of his khokha like a hawk and started beating that child. He was crying himself too like a child and yelling “why don’t you just shut up, why don’t you just shut up” exclaiming all kind of profanities. That is what it does to a Khokhay waala who had seven children and a wife to feed.

Together we must work to change all that. Our politics, our policies, our rules, our laws, our regulations, our struggles, our democracy, must put humans first. If it doesn’t it is a farce, a mirage, a charade, and a deception. Yes! I am a bit idealist, but I don’t think there is anything wrong with having a dream. I am only guilty of having a dream of Pakistanis having enough food to fill their stomachs, good education for their children, health, dignity, and a polity that considers all of its members equally dignified. We must never stop dreaming. Where there is a dream, there is a will; and where there is a will there is a way.

But even in our dreams our fellow human being must come first.

scout #153 Sorry, but you fail to meet the ``moron test``:

1. A moron ridicule entire groups of people (e.g. hindus, muslims, indians, or pakis): you ridicule the moron only;

2. A moron thinks thinks he or she is being funny when he or she is merely being abusive and/or foul-mouthed: you can be really witty funny;

3. A moron cuts and pastes as if no one on chowk has access to the internet: you write what you have to say.

4. A moron writes long posts: you write short posts.

I could go on, but that last one reminds me to end my post now. (Of course some people are only part morons, but sorry my friend, I would not count you among those either since you flunk all on all four counts. Please learn from our learned morons, and you can re-submit your application for CCM (Chowk Certified Moron) next month.
