Loud and Soft

I had no idea that this had been published on chowk...no e-mail....found it by chance. so im sorry i wasnt able to address the concerns raised in the interacts before.

temporal: salima hashmi is certainly interview-worthy. This piece was written specifically for the relationship section of the TFT and they wanted only the father and daughter. this article ensued.

irfanhamid: how many do i know...enough to make the generalisations that i have..not enough to believe that all mathematicians are in fact catatonic.

and i want to know one more thing - you think me arrogant because i made a generalisation of this nature. what does that make you?

urstruly/princess: thank you

rozaiba: good to see you here. and Buffy is good entertainment. i will defend my stance :).

Khadija:

Refreshing reading. It shows how the two individuals reflect the trends in the Pakistani film scene and are a beacon of light in an otherwise dull atmosphere. though cheesy, Faiz`s words come to mind: `Qatl gahoun say chun kar hamaray alm, aur niklain gay ushaaq kay qaflay!`

IQRA University has also begun a program in film production- in response to the 18 or so private TV channel licenses issues thus far. These are all good indications for the future.

ps) Buffy the Vampire Slayer?? Please!

Welcome to chowk, cutie!

This was pretty interesting, relationship between all the talents in different times of life.

Thanks for a good read

Apologise for this intrusion:

My friend and a long time chowkie Harish Nambiar has met with a tragic accident. Please click on this link (you may have to sign in) and express your condolences and support.

Khadija: masha-Allah, you write very well. Will agree with Irfan, though. Avoid generalisations/popular stereotypes. Have known some incredibly sublime mathematicians, some plain raunchy ones and one, at least, who was both. Have you read about Richard Feynman?

Khadija:

``Somehow, mathematicians appear to be a breed of people very different from this jaunty humorist. They lack not just a sense of humor, but entire personalities.``

How many do you know?

``The thought of the mathematician conveys images of catatonic professors overseeing catatonic students caught in a stuporific obsession with solving equations and learning the logics that establish long-known conclusions.``

It`s true, ignorance IS bliss, or in this case, arrogance.

Regards,
Irfan Hamid.

K:

...this is certainly better and more comprehensive than the other version in the rag;)

...Mira appears to have taken after her grandpa...Faiz was a very soft spoken person...

...just wondering...was her mother not worthy to be interviewd?


lve,
