Pankaj: No, no , no. You are making my image on the basis of my only post about matrimonial ad that tahmed loved so much. That was written in jest and not true at all. The beauty index would have gone up foir notches, had I married my first, second third and fourth loves in Pakistan. The second third and fourth happened to be first`s younger sisters. Had I married my first cousin which my grandparents and father wished but not my mother, the beauty standard would have remained unaffected but would have made me richer.
At least three desi women, one from pickle land, one from batata-wada land and one from holy Ganges land praised this Punjabi hunk in the past. Thus far Kaur land have evaded me............and one damn Indian Sindhi although I convinced her that Sindhi and Punjabi share common cultural heritage of Indus people.
[This act of supreme self sacrifice on my part would raise the average beauty index of Indians]
Try raising the index by massaging beauty and try to keep the index raised for at least 15 minutes.......:-))

Pankaj #74 I join shankar in applauding your supreme sacrifice of not propogating your genes, thereby upping the average looks-index. On this veterans day, I in fact award you the Vir Chakkar, the Victoria Cross, AND the Medal of Honor. You are also eligible to receive the Nishan-i-Haider, and I will be sure to make mention of your supreme sacrifice in my dispatches to Field Marshall Romair who will no doubt be pleased to personally pin the Nishan-i-Haider in an impressive ceremony. In addition to being the first non-Pakistani to get the medal, you will also be the first living person to get it. What an honor!!
On second thoughts, screw the medals and go jump the bhayyian instead. As shankar recommends.

Pankaj,

{{This act of supreme self sacrifice on my part would raise the average beauty index of Indians and by the grace of God :-) we will achieve parity with Pakistanis.}}

That was mighty patriotic & philanthropic of you bhaiyya-jaan:)!

I dont care if you are uglier than Jagjeevan Ram...we need more IIT grads from UP, like you. No offense, but I thought a UP-IIT grad was an oxymoron (like Polish-MIT grads). You, sir, have broken the mold! I`m still waiting for a Bihari IIT grad to grace Chowk:)!!

I guess bhaiyya IIT grads will be able to accurately calculate the trajectory of a flying chair, before you fling it in the State Assembly! Not for nothing, at least your ``throw`` will be more accurate in the next Assembly riot!:)

IIT Nerds RULE, Pankaj Maharaj! I dont care how ugly you look. A bhaiyya who graduated IIT & works in ``phoren`` will command the most beautiful bhaiyyin in the village; as far as your ``marriage marketting`` goes. From a ``well respected`` family too!

By Romair`s law of averages, there has to be quite a few ``freak`` pretty bhaiyyins--cos of your superfecundity rates, for you to choose from. So your descendants will be good looking. Just be careful with bhayyins, though. Seeing how quickly you can multiply, I sometimes think bhayyins can become pregnant even if they take a deep breath!

rsaxena #77 this ``discussion`` could go on forever. let me end it by expressing admiration at your sense of humor by referring to that brick in my behind. you can have the last word if you like by responding to this post, or you can trot off to some other board without responding. i dont have anything more to add beyond what i said in my last couple of posts to you.

sameerJB #73 I thought your self-description (``I have height like Mirza Jatt, moustache like Jagga Jatt, hairstyle like Bhinda Jatt, voice like Yamla Jatt, nose like Jatt da gandasa, walk like Put JattaN de, ...... ``) was funny, actually. (I got sidetracked trying to help rsaxena overcome his inferiority complex, and so could not comment on this before.)
As for who we are descended from: I doubt if anyone in the subcontinent can really trace his ancestry much before the early 19th century - I knew a chap whose family claimed to be descended from Mughals, and so went to court to reclaim their family possessions (a few little buildings like the Lahore Fort, Badshahi Masjid etc.). Since those buildings remain public property, I assume that he never could prove descent. And in any case, go back long enough, and we are all descended from four legged furry little mammals anyway.
The russians used to have a good joke about race and ethnicity: ``The German Superman is tall and slim. Like Goering (who looked like a beached whale). He is handsome. Like Goebbels (who looked like an aids patient). And he is blond. Like Hitler.``

rsaxena #73 you are frustrated, i can see, at my showing how your post betrays your deep seated inferiority complex. dont get mad at me for having exposed that. get mad at the environment that produces specimen like you and harimau and arjun.

tahmed321: I am sure you did not take my post seriously. I was poking fun at pride in extra-desi origins. I am just like you, native for the last umpteenth generation, perhaps more Harappan `blood` than any other. But my next generation might be half mongoloid half desi. I have a term for half chinese half desi in USA; it is Himalayan americans.

Saxena, Sameer and Tahmed jee

I was in a state of deep meditation sitting in front of my laptop pondering over how to increase the beauty(or handsomeness in males) index of India to achieve parity with Pakistan. Exactly at 2:50:58 PM, Buddha like enlightement struck me and I raced outside my little stuffy cabin crying eureka, eureka to breath some fresh air. Guess what, this is possible if Sameer and myself decide not to propagate our genes. In Sameer`s case, it would bring down the beauty index of Pakistan by one notch. As for myself, I am infact so ugly that I cover my face with mask all the time lest some sweet blond kid has a heart attack. Simply my presence in the Indian community brings down the average beauty index of Indians by at least one notch despite being diluted by a factor of 1bn-1. This act of supreme self sacrifice on my part would raise the average beauty index of Indians and by the grace of God :-) we will achieve parity with Pakistanis.

rsaxena #71 That was a joke (which you didnt get despite your ``hehe``, and which I am too tired to explain). I dont know about IQ, but rest assured that ugly I am not, nor ``single-pasli`` like one of your south indian nerds (as you put it).
Incidentally, I find it interesting that you equate the term ``hindu convert`` with ugliness. This indicates a fairly low self-esteem, and also explains your constant need to belittle pakistanis.

re: pankaj

{3. Pakistani soldiers, the symbol of martial ``tall fair and handsome`` Pakistani race, are all the more respected in Pakistan after having ``successfully`` faced Indian ``onslaught`` for 8 months and having won Kargil war. }

...hehe...i wonder what these people call failure if they call getting an ass whupping ``success`` :)..

dost mittar #64 you write ``and the sialkoti munda migrated to India``
maybe so. but we got the girl that sang (nur jehan).
and i understand she utilized to the hilt (if that is the phrase) the services of the many fine handsome young men she ran into in lahore.

sameerJB #67 hey, forget these pakistan grandsons of the muhammed bin qasim and shah iran and sher shah suri. what about us lowly descendants of hindu converts?? i think some of us could charm any woman off her feet anytime we want.
as for the beautiful pathan men, they dont need any reminders that they are God`s gift to mankind: as anyone who has seen a pathan preening his face for hours before the tiny mirror of the ``niswar ki dibbi`` can tell you.

Why don`t everybody put their picture up on their pages and let me decide if there is any individual more handsome than me. I have height like Mirza Jatt, moustache like Jagga Jatt, hairstyle like Bhinda Jatt, voice like Yamla Jatt, nose like Jatt da gandasa, walk like Put JattaN de, ......
Anybody interested in mitthey ganney, mithet ganney roz choopiye, yaari JattaN de munde de nal laaiye
Hor choopo ganney.........
Pankaj: Actually Pakistani men of Arab, Persia, Afghanistan origin are handsome and that is 80-90 percent of Pakistani men. Okay exclude Afghanistan because they are considered beautiful and not handsome. They are beautiful in rakou and gorgeous in sajda.
