Good stuff NFP, rocking again aye? Kalaji it should actually be Paracha NEEDS Prozac.
Paracha you`re really after Walls these days, so I think Pepsi and Coke should take a sigh of relief. The Quiz was good too, especially Bilal = Pee Vee Hermin.

this stuff is a great read and has a soothing effect :) most of the stuff sponsored by multi-nationals is utter garbage and deserves the sarcasm/treatment meted out in the piece.

Dude! I do read bandbaja. It rocks!!! (my feeble attempt at advertising sans profit) I was trying to make a whole different point altogether, and it was done in jest.

Thanks for the information though.

That `Pop Quiz` was published by bandbaja.com. It`s no peek Inqilaabi, it`s there on April`s issue of the site along with another NFP article.

This would have been funnier if I got the references. Except the rock stars, don`t recognise any of the names :(((

Well done Peracha saheb on writing yet another great piece of satire.
Cipram, I did not understand your point? What has all what you have said got to do with all what Peracha has written?

well goodness gracious me. i`m sure that some of us would rather be `lost` than be `found` as you so clearly appear to be. as it is some of us who are lost make a whole lot more sense than you do. and if some of us do go to another hell beyond the one we already live in, my god, i hope we don`t run into you. that would be like majorly raining on our parade.

If that`s what he`s inhaling, then I don`t mind inhaling some too. Must tell my retro-hippe friends here they must visit Karachi. Waisey NFP, I love the way you use the same single knife to rip through fashion models, mullahs, pop stars, capitalists, multinationals, politicians, so on and so forth. Toxic.
