The Idea of Chowk

i am disappointed, dejected, discouraged, and depressed that chowk staff deems my valuble interacts to nothing more than a score of 1. i demand re-rating. i also demand to know the identity of those who rated me. some heads need to roll here.

this is a test. nothing but a test. so help me god.

(dear god, let my rating be at least 3)

Re:Romair#95

Romiar, you ingrate!! You forgot to thank the vast hordes of Indians who relentlessly debated you and sharpened your skills as a debator/orator. Without us, your only intellectual challenge would be debating the hadith with urstruly, another 3 by the way :-)

Hmmm........I am a 3......I don`t want to rub it in. But well, what the heck..3 baby, 3,3,3,3!!....I don`t see too many threes out there. Quite the honor.

I would like to thank my parents for always telling me to never settle for being a 1 or a 2. I would also like to thank Bulleh Shah and Mirza Ghalib. I would like to thank my agent, my director, my publisher, my high school teacher, my producer, and my co-stars, without whom none of this would have been possible. I would also like to thank the Hollywood foreign press. And of course, I would like to thank Chowk Staff (whomever you maybe) for this great honor......

To the 0s, I say, while I may be ranked much higher than you, I will always fight for your right to speak. Chowk Staff, if 0s are cut, do they not bleed? Do they not turn into 8s?....To the proletariat 1s, I promise you I will never forget you - the common man. For I started out as a 1, myself. To the bourgeoise 2s, I would like to say, keep at it, and someday you may also be a 3 (probably not, but well....)

To the 3s, lets meet at the country club, where we must decide our secret handshake....

I do not like this system. As chowk management from USA management they are doing like western food processing. First you take food, devitaminise, deminaralise it , decolor it then add again good elements vitamins and minerals etc but then its not real tasty organic food, but just plastc food. But management is one who has put effoert and money so they have write to decide. Take it or leave.

hello.........this is a test........

Interesting, smart move by Chowk staff!! Back on chowk after a real long time and find lot of good work happening.

Re: # 89

LOL.;. Please tell me where and when the line forms.

Re: # 86

hamidm, at least there is a new topic to post about. veeresh and dost-mitter are 4, there is definitely a bias towards indian who do not post anything provocative against the pakistanis. If one had been to pakistan, claim some pak heritage, that also definitely counts, no other way that the above two could have got rating 4. Boring and insipid posts may rate highly.
poor arjun, he may as well thrown down the bow and arrow and wait for cosmic interpretation of chowk from tahmed.
hamidm, dont loose heart, your rating will go up with so much of support.

Pssst chowk-staff, score badha sakte hain? Chai paani ho jaaye? Sifarish doon?

<< Makes me feel it is time to grow up ... >>

The only intelegent thing you have ever said.

This rating system is pretty lame.
More often than not, the articles on chowk are mediocre,to say the least.One can find infinitely better articles elsewhere.Lets face it, most of the people come here to interact and exchange thoughts.So,rating interactors based on articles submitted is lame.
This has succeeeded in putting off many people.I dont know what useful purpose has it served other than that.The whole concept of grading is so kindergarten. Plus, there should be some more transparency in how the interactors are rated. Perhaps a case study of how some interactors are rated zero and below?
I have set my threshold to the lowest level and pretending that this thing does not exist. If it is like a necessary evil and cannot done away with, I would support everybody starting at a common level.

arjun,

sorry, but i can`t read your posts any more ..........i refuse to read anything written by a zero !............. it was good knowing you........ i hope you can find another hobby ..........

......... and saminash, stop smirking because you received a 2 on your report card - pride hath its fall !

re:#51 by tahmed32
Urstruly, Romair get scores of 3,4 on an average. I consider them both below average. However, some genius sitting on Chowk staff thinks otherwise. Makes me feel it is time to grow up and leave Chowk.

With the new policies, I think ``Guantanamo Bay`` is a better name than ``Chowk``. For the lexically challenged, one could use a shorthand such as ``Gitmo``.
