I didnt understand the Islamic references but I enjoyed the sarcasm. Write some more of your short story/sketches dude.

Winning an Oscar now doesn`t require one to have acting skills. just use a lot of makeup and a few daring makeovers- and voila! win your oscar.
i wonder if they have such a requirement/criterion for Lux awards?
maybe they don`t need to!
three cheers for khahani ghar ghar kee!

And how can one forget the cover of Strings` ``Chhaey Chhaey`` featuring Reema for that brilliant Pepsi ad. I am sure all fans are eagerly waiting for a reissue of ``Dhaani`` with that stunning track.

as i was reading this, i was thinking about this piece of artwork that i saw here at a cafe. i was thinking of this poster size drawing of a little boy who looks like he could be from one of those `third world countries` looking somewhat desolate, was that grime on his t-shirt or an interesting design? his face is drawn on what looks like one or more of those coca-cola cartons put together, or perhaps just a poster advertising the beverage. how about that for a billboard? naaaah. : )

i`m afraid the cough may linger just a while longer nadeem! undoubtedly your spelling errors are going to be pointed out over the biting delivery (as i just did!). i had to chuckle coughingly a few times. `grandma so old with ARY gold. .` that was chokingly amusing.

Sarcasm galore. How long can you keep spiting that venom, Paracha?

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.

bhangis, charsis, sharabees, zanees, lootees, incestors of the world UNITE!--you have nothing to lose, you are already lost.

and now temporal has gone and done it. . i guess there`s no need to (re)publish the quiz here if we`ve seen it already. thanks for the early peek (pun intended)

#12

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.
