Tear inducing (in a good way), it was absolutely heart warming

A few quick excerpts: interesting read, shows creativity, also your bhaighairat attitude, though it can be put down to your ‘Failures’ in life (better luck next time), must say that the writing has sparks, touches nerves but fails to impress, as it seems like you never grew out of your rebellious childhood,

The point to uncover all the underlying shits of hypocrisy, the naked candidness, which has become so common of our society, the never ending ruckus over the Pak Indian relations, the abuse, the frustrations all hit me, very well tackled, but yaar, why that childish jerk/atheist/I am wannabe cool because of my using sex/abuse lingo- attitude,

It is still 2004, people read such stuff and get impressed by cheap shit, but a day into 2005, it will all be over, with every one writing about sex shit even in newspapers, what will u do than to express yourself (read, impress others)…
Any ways, hoping to see a better piece, adios…

Oh THIS they can publish- and stuff I submit is -what? Too dull?

What`s all this supposed to mean anyway?



And whatever happened to:

Soundmeister:

Sunay jaatay na thhay tuum sey miray din raat kay shikvay
kafan sarkaaO, mairee baizubaani dakhtay jaaO.



Khultaa kissi pay kyooN miray dil kaa muaamlaa
shairoN* kay intikhaab nay rusvaa kiyaa mujhhay.

* aur mazmoonoaN bhee.

CHOWK staff is exposing dil-kaa-muaamla in no uncertain terms what they consider :``offensive, crude, repugnant, or obscene``. Please be grateful that you are tolerated as an audience and interactor. Agreed, that they need this ``baraat`` as well. After all, they do represent the elite which is responsible for a ``moderate``, ``enlightened`` and ``soon-to-be first-world Pakistan``. They are determined to make the `twain meet.

A simpler way would be to operate Pakistan according to the Greenwich Mean Time. Poof! the `natives` will be `foreigners`.

Holy Moly. Don`t know what to make of it, Nadeem. Made me laugh, made me cringe,
made me scratching my head in amazement. Weird is an understatement for this.

Nadeem, this is like breakneck fiction, and knowing you I am sure you wrote it just
to tick off many anti-vulgarity pundits on chowk? I`ll read it again to overcome the initial shock.

Okay, interesting read, NFP, but why the blunt anti-Hindu and anti-Islam stand? This was written as if you were taking yourself from anarchism to nihilism. This is your most nihilist piece to date.
