dear scott jee -- plz dont use the minority card here plz -- it seems to have been used to death on chowk -- many people, esp women, from the `majority` community also need to have equally thick skins --

mr scott, till last reports came in chowk was not the newspaper i work for but the website i come to sometimes to `interact` with wise sages -- and as for my `smar alecky` behaviour actually it is very `befitting` when dealing with people like `V jee` here

Let the poor Dehli wallah live in his own little world.... his lies have been exposed... and the bubble of superiority punctured in many places...

I say we call it a day now.

Ref 117
Don`t be so ticklish.... itna dhuwaan .... sure ghaas huqey mein hi daali thee yaaa .... ???

I was merely refering to your sweeping categorical statements in post 102 .... No i am not Lahore key Khilaf ... infact i like the city and look forward to my visits to Lahore .whenever i get the chance (usually on basant)... however the assertion of Lahore being successor of Lucknow was out of context .... no succession issues .... Lahore remained Lahore while Lucknow lost it ....
p.s. i thought you wuld pick up the assence of my post 116, which obviosly you did not ,,, thankgod i didnt go to your school ....

on a friendlier note, i really enjoy your posts on the various boards ....

have fun with your huqqaa

Post # 80

Quote:

``It is customary to compare Lahore and Delhi and there are, indeed, many similarities between the two cities. The vibrant Panjabi culture of `khao-piyo-aish-karo` - eat drink and be merry - dominates both cities. Ostentatious living comes naturally to Panjabis and is as visible in the lavish parties of Lahore as of those in farm houses outside Delhi. But while the Panjabi culture dominates both cities, one cannot say the same thing about the Panjabi language. Panjabi is not the formal language of either city – it is English/Hindi in Delhi (though some road signs are in Panjabi and the language is taught in many schools) and Urdu in Lahore. ``

It would appear that these similarties are only at the surface and superfical. Khao piyo aish karo, drink and be merry is not restricted only to Delhi or Lahore, and that goes for lavish parties too.

Biggest difference (?) is that Delhi is seat of power and because of that, public of Delhi happens to be more inclined towards politics, talks more about politics, lives by the politics, thinks and discuss more politics and is more aware of politics comparatively. And of course, social issues too, to quite a degree. Only till a decade or so so, Delhi was taken as a babu city all along (most of the time, since independence).

Second, it can not be denied that there have been, and are, full fledged cultural societies, dramas, theatre, musicals and so on which have been part of Delhi or Delhi cultural scene.

First of all, no one needs permission for ilog writing from any buffoon on Chowk.

Secondly, the desperation exhibited by the monkey from dawn and his baby kkkandk, is clearly indicative of the existing frustration in the Pakistani Society.

My heartfelt sympathies!
