rajsingh #190 I realize by now this herd instinct of many (not all) indians where they jump to one another`s defense regardless of what the issue is (a clear sign of a cowardly, unprincipled lot), and your picking one out of a number of absurd things written by this man, and then attempting to split hairs to prove that he did not mean what he said on this point, is just one more example of this.

So excuse me if I tell you I am not interested in your explanation of what veeresh meant. He can write for himself. He has changed his story 180 degrees before on other things before, and he is quite capable of doing that again.

Morad #282 Thanks for appreciating the post, and you advice is well taken. It is indeed sad the number of posts generated by an article often seems to be in inverse proportion to the quality of the article. But I shouldnt be talking, since I tend to join in here (I explained the reason in an earlier post to my good chowk friend rsridhar, but that post is now buried under a mountain of pictures, veereshisms, correction of veerishisms.)

Good to see you back on chowk. :-)

Quote:

`` Government College (where I spent four years eyeing girls in that beautiful building and wonderful green grounds which Yasser didnt even show) is actually the Benarus Hindu College!!

Perhaps, another mistake/error in the above? For, I have not seen him claiming that. What he has said is, as follows:

Quote from Veeresh`s post#240

`` The one you posted about Lahore Govt. College is a reconstruct of a scene from Banaras Hindu University (BHU) which has been on the Internet for a long time, take a closer look at the funny photo-shopped vanishing/fade-out of the backdrop within the arch. ``

If this translates into his having claimed that Govt College is actually the Benarus Hindu College, then I do not know.

Furthermore, in his post #266, he is saying:

`` I am just telling you to take a closer look at the photograph you`ve put up, it has been morphed with another one from a similar gate at BHU/Banaras.

vereesh,

...... If you didn`t see any chemist stores in pindi then i would suggest you better take care of those cataracts .......... i have lived there all my life and go back for a month or two every year and have never had any trouble in finding a chemist, a drug-peddlar or a drug addict within half a mile of where i happen to be ........... actually, you can go to any empty plot and pick up a handful of used syringes dispensed by these invisible chemists ...........

........... next thing you will be saying that you couldn`t find anything to drink in pindi! ...... you might be right there because london lager is hard to find and the market is flooded with kingfisher and black dog - stuff that is not really fit for human consumption ........... but, unlike you, i can put aside my extreme prejudice when i get thirsty ................ i also know that prejudice causes cataracts

# Re 284
<<< Muslims are very experienced at building great cities and preserving them for themselves or leaving them for others to enjoy - Cordova, Granada, Cairo, Tehran, Lucknow, Baghdad, yes even Delhi. And that skill has not been lost in the new generations - Ankara, Islamabad, Kuala Lumpur are testiments to our zeal for building cities>>>>

Salim,
good to have you back ... i believe that you had great time in Turkey ... Istanbul is one city i would love to settle permanently .. I am surpised that it is not mentioned by you in the above list ... as u know Turkish Sultans contributed alot to this ancient city ....

btw where does this come from !!!

<<<< Lahoris have managed to preserve the ancient buildings with such love and care - because they truly are the heirs to that great civilization we call Mughal >>>>

kiya phir ghaas khaani shoro ker deee hai ????

Salim #284,
You are correct. Lahore not only embodies Mughal spirit, it still lives in that era...

``There are no chemist shops in Pakistan (if there is one kind of a shop of which there is no shortage in pakistan, it is a chemists shop.``

Is there some mistake/error in the above quote? Perhaps, inadveratantly, in the flow of things? For, I do not recall Veeresh having said or claimed that there are no chemist shops in Pakistan. If he has said that, would like to see that post/part.
