oh, right now, it`s a krappy facility- but i have no doubt that with a proper make-over, you`ll lure the masses to it.

````while reporting they all mentioned the lone israeli astronaut but not one report that i have heard mentioned poor kalpana...i don`t think they did it deliberately...perhaps in their value system we are not high up yet... `` (Temporal)
temporal -- if it is any consolation to u -- they did not mention even the FIVE american dead astronauts --
all over CNN NBC, and CBS -- it was that precious israeli air force officer Ramon -- and his precious boss Sharon -- how must he be feeling poor thing -- all over the media --
of course one israeli death is more tragic than 10 dead Palestinians -- we all know that --
what we didn`t know -- that for even us americans -- even 5 dead americans are not significant enough -- as one precious dead israeli.
and you`re talking about the death of an Insignificant Indian -- and of all the people -- a Woman?
it is surreal -- ah those symbiotic parasites -- we love them to death!

Let`s talk about something more siginficant then the futile and unecessary explorations of ideology.
Close to Faisal Town Moon Market, there is a weight-training facility called `Rumi`s Gym`- located in a basement. I was offered to purchase it and run it as my business because Rumi was doing a terrible job of it. However, I decided to go for grad school.
With your Amrekan degree, I suggest you take up the offer and turn the venture around. Pakistanis have gone gym crazy lifting weights as if there`s no tomorrow (that is until the next day comes around and they can`t be bothered to persist with a routine) so put to good use your degree!
You`ll be doing the nation a great service by encouraging the youth to remain healthy.
Help to build those arms that will save Pakistan!

Exploson of the Columbia shuttle today at about 9 a.m. is a tragic incident. The seven astronauts who died in the disintegration of the shuttle were all young or middle-aged (?). They had a life full of promise ahead of them. My heart goes out for them and their families. They died in the noble cause of space exploration and scientific discovery.
I am particularly saddened by the untimely death of Dr. Kalpana Chawala who was an aeronautical engineer. Although I do not personally know much about her and her life, her being on the shuttle crew itself was a great achievement. Her credentials which I could find on the internet are testimony to her professional brilliance.
I condole with her family.
(I apologise for this out of place intervention; the incident is important enough to be noticed and mentioned)

It feels good being quoted. Now I know how it must feel being Dr. Kessinger, Chomsky, and Einstien. Hate and prejudice aside but you gotta admit that what one person, that is, yours truly, was saying alone a year and a half ago is being echoed across the continents - people are chanting what this man said in the processions of over 100,000 at a time even in US. Oh the insight, the vision.......

Stuka,
Ta!
Harimau,
[Well, you must admit those clues at least got you thinking.]
Leave it out. I knew someone was going to say that. Thanks for the education regarding unwritten constitution and conventions (and especially the free eye-openers regarding Jinnah and Pakistan - I know I can always count on you for those) though you still didn’t explain why the second biggest religion in the UK (which is recognised as faith and not race) is not given the same protection as the major faith, that is, Christianity. Of course, it doesn’t matter, I was just interested. I`ll ask someone else.
Umair,
Pakistan, at its peak, held over 3 million Afghan refugees so yes, I`m sure Pakistan had the largest refugee population in the world. Indeed, Pakistanis have definitely been hospitable but there`s something about the UNHCR and World Food Programme aid finishing in `95, a resultant lack of wheat (in an agricultural country of all the places) and subsequently a few riots in Pakistan. Know anything about it?
t,
To be honest, who cares which nationality the dead people belonged to? 7 people died whilst on their jobs. An honourable death. That`s the bottom line. However, I was a bit cheesed off by the fact that someone was quick to fart off the death of an Israeli astronaut again…and again…and again…aaaaaand again, `but no links to a terrorist attack had been proved…yet`. You`d think that at this moment, they`d give the sensationalism a little break.
Well, my condolences and strength`s with their families and friends.
Umer M.

Yasser...
since when is calling someone beta a term of disrespect...my goodness, I will refrain from calling my own children beta. No, you are not my beta, and thank goodness for that. But I apologize, despite the fact that you are young enough to be my beta, I will never refer to you as that again.
And just a friendly clarification...these people who are throwing mud at you are not my `lovable` friends. I do have some positively adorable friends here on Chowk, but most of those friends do not interact on your boards for reasons I totally understand and sympathize with. And yes, I do see something wrong with the way you are trashed here. I also see something wrong with some of your arguments, which is why I speak up sometimes. I now see the merits of silence being golden in some cases.
As for checking myself, or getting myself checked up (matchpoint to you on that)...last I checked, I was fine. Hope you remain that way as well. :-)

re: roohi
{Guys - The Shuttle exploded ...
Take a moment and pay your respects to a talented desi woman Dr. Kalpana Chawala the first Indian American woman astronaut. She was the daughter of parents who left Pakistan in 1947 and grew up in Karnal Haryana and got her degree from Punjab Engineering Collage Chandigardh before migrating to the US. }
....please don`t write this here and invite trash on this woman`s and other astronauts` memories...if you need to know why, go to the Unplugged section to witness celebrations over the ``death of evil israeli, american, and indian astronauts`` and how it is a victory for islam...
