Wow...Unadulerated fun...
Reminded me of this,(for no particular reason..I may add.)

Ash on and old man`s sleeve
Is all the ash the burnt roses leave.
Dust in the air suspended
Marks the place where a story ended.

Maryam : I searched for the mocha flavored cigarette, but in vain. Could`nt find it anywhere - cigar shops, super market dispensers. Would you know of any shop in or around NJ/NYC carrying those?

Oh my God!
What remains after such love is ash, or is there any other possibility?

Updating school textbooks



I endorse Mr Ardeshir Cowasjee`s opinion (January 11) that books used in the public-owned ``non-elite schools`` are full of disinformation and errors. These need immediate reform. Of all the subjects the one distorted most is history, as has been rightly explained by Mr Cowasjee.

In order to bring our curriculum at par with the present-day world education system, and also to remove spurious information from it, I suggest that a high-powered board should be constituted with eminent educationists, scholars and historians, both local and from abroad, if need be.

They should be assigned the task to analyze our system of education and the curriculum taught in the schools. Their commendations/suggestions must be implemented without any reservation, forthwith.

//////////Ayesha,

I look forward to the day when a muslim pakistani, not a parsi will dare to say that education system of pakistan is the root cause, the k for kafir education that creates the children of TNT.
