The Prophecies of Nosydamanus

ahahahahahahahahahahahahah tyte as sh*t!

urs is the first article i read after becoming a member here nadeem n i must say.....i really like it...........mazey ka thaa bohat........;) really koooooolllllll

Alla, ala prachay, ala. Gringo piece.

This is quite mad. Loved it, sir, loved it. From where do you come with this sort of pagalpan?
What`s next then?

#13:
Pathetic to see the pakistanis poking fun at the great greek futurologist while ignoring their own great futurologist, Zulfi Bhutto.
He said that pakistanis will eat grass to have the bomb, and today his promis has come true, 35 percent of pakistanis now realise the greatness of bhutto.

Dear Jay, there is no greek here. If you`re talking about Nostradamus, you have to know, for your culture, that he was a french man, and that his name is a latin word, and certainly not greek.
It means `Our mother` a.k.a. the mother of Jesus (Mata ki Jay!). The parisian Cathedral has this name, for example.
That he was great his another thing too, but he`s very popular indeed. Maybe, like a doctor he did a lot...
The best world for someone whose making prophecies is a prophet, not a futurologue, but fantasy and bad humor is not my speciality.
Well, have fun kids...

I would totally agree with Archana`s message, because even i found the article quite witty and funny. I think its a splendid job made by Nadeem, great comparisons he made there.Some really did make sense, hehheheh! Good work ,Nadeem!

i couldnot help myself from rolling on the floor.Good job,Nadeem!

trashman :

all teasing aside, i find your admiration of nadeem, ummm, admirable. all i was really trying to say was there are other writers here who elicit such extreme emotions. .loyalties, and `enmities`.

and yes there are extremes here, and then there is nothing as well, like the indifference that some people have altogether. then we have the `traditionalists`, the purists, the ones who find what he has to say is indecent, and thus by extension, so is he, the ones who can`t really understand what he`s saying and so they throw his addiction, and his breakdowns in his face, he is influenced by other writers in what he writes (and which one of us writers is oh so original?) and he`s put down for that. to put it succinctly, nadeem farooq paracha just doesn`t have `it` whatever that is, and that`s that.

and then there`s the other extreme. where something close to idol worship is afoot, where `fans` in blind loyalty will tell him he`s the best, but not talk much about what he`s written. and even here readers will bring up the the drug thang as if that could be the only thing that could influence his writing. we love his social critique, it was entertaining, but does it make us think? does it make us do?

one of the ongoing mantras here at chowk is that some of us take things too seriously here, but some writers here are serious about what they write. i suspect nadeem is no exception. i appreciate that you are here because he is here, and i can relate to that. and i`m glad you didn`t tell him he should quit (would he have listened anyway?). and he isn`t losing `it` whatever that means. but why do you say alas?!

i am new to nadeem`s work, i didn`t know of him before chowk actually, and all his years of being a music and a sociopolitical critic. and what strikes me about his writings is that they are very different from the `liberal` viewpoint offered here, and is a voice that isn`t often heard. and i appreciate a plurality of voices, but i tend to agree with much of what he says. i would love the extremes he attracts if the extremes he attracts made sense most of the time. but he`s definitely not the worst thing around!

just my rupaiya`s worth. .for all that is. : )

I came here because he did and actually to tell him he should quit because he was losing it. But alas, he isn`t and to me he remains to be the best thing that happened to chowk. But then to others, he`s the worst thing around. I love the extremes he attracts.

post #8 is not mine. In my post. I objected to the use of indecent langauge by the author. I feel, the editors ought to do something about it.

trashman:

then are nadeem`s articles the ONLY articles you read on chowk?! ; ) or have you missed the rest of the boat where idiot posters are thrashing idiot posters, and the like?

Lol. Naaa, Umer, people like our friend jay over here are actually pretty harmless. Just giving him a slap on the wrist (the muscular one) for jaywalking should the trick.

I have proudly been one of Paracha`s biggest readers on chowk and good heavens, this is what I`ve noticed. Out of all the writers, his articles not only end up getting some of the most extreme responses, both good and bad, but they are the only place where idiots posters actually end up really getting thrashed! Great.

umer luv,
why don`t you do it?! mujh mein himmat nahin hai!!! : D

Can someone please give Jay a charity shag. The guy`s pissed off because his right forearm is so much more muscular than his left one.

Umer M

love with the back of the hand. . .and rage. . .with more pleasant wit. . .the world`s a topsy-turvy place is it not?

just a not so casual observation. . .directed at no one especially : )
