Ozer,

What a haunting piece....what must have been your muse....

It made an impression akin to the first time I read Ginsberg`s ``Howl``.

I know you mentioned a dislike for pigeon-holing and I certainly don`t mean to travel that route but I immediately classified what you had written as a poem written in free verse. Perhaps I have erred as people have referred to it as an article of sorts.

sul: hamidm has a right to express his views regarding this piece, and he has done so in a light-hearted manner. there is nothing rancid in what he has written. i think you need to lighten up a bit yourself.

hamidm2

I’ve been a member of this community for over 2 ½ years but interact rarely, precisely because of such unsolicited, petulant and distasteful vitriol as yours. The callous cynicism, opportunistic irreverence and impertinence you employ needs to be addressed for what it is.

Your addition to the interacts on this piece, if not the forum generally is wholly unwelcome to all apart from those that share your lack of courtesy and consideration for other members.

At no time have you demonstrated the slightest desire to understand or maturely debate this piece; the remarkable hostility in your interacts ill befits a forum such as this. The whole point of Chowk is to encourage debate and discussion not to flex metaphoric or literally muscle to insult.

You mentioned in one of your innumerable replies “gonads”. Clearly someone is missing a pair. Or acting strangely feline and demarcating territory. I must admit though that for all your posturing I did agree with one thing : “maybe i am a fool who wasted all those years in college ...” And all the years since….

Oh and since you threatened to boycott Chowk for 48 hours if the piece wasn’t removed from the front page, show some spine and remove your rancid odour from our presence please!

`` Be sure when I log on next time

I will reward you with a present you least expected monsieur.

A present you have never ever received before. ````

Please do that in a language us mere mortals can understand!

Re: # 63

t,

........ i guess i am in good company !!! .....

....... i kind of liked sultan mints but, to tell you the truth, i think paracha should lay off the peyote - i guess nobody told him that we are in the twenty first century and psychaedlic drugs are out of fashion ........

hamidm that dysfunctional in part I was out on the nadeem paracha`s sultan mints ... sorry for the confusion

digression:

chowk is not short of genuises ...or would that be genii?... pick any stone ..er thread here...and you will find the original jay, arjun, echo or their wannabee clones all reaffirming that the genius recognises no agreed or disputed boundary

Re: # 61

t,

the last time i saw a genius he was sitting naked under a pipal tree hurling obscenities at the people passing by ! ......... potoharis, being rather simple folk, bowed in reverence and whispered, `` ay allah da banda poncheya hoya `` ......... i guess he had reached some kind of zenith ! .......... sometimes i feel that way after a few manhattans !

Hamid M

To my delight i see you are one of my favourite fans !! I just logged on and was smitten by your shower of praises. So many of them in abundance !

Now ofcourse since I have to go out time does not license me to reciprocate this utter kindness.

Be sure when I log on next time

I will reward you with a present you least expected monsieur.

A present you have never ever received before.

Though please be waiting.

For it will shock even your beloved self.

Ciao.

avkrishna, deja-who,

........... thank you guys for having the gonads to stand up to the tyranny of pompous fools who think they can pull the wool over our eyes .........

.......... however, i am still convinced this article is a hoax and the author will soon come out and admit it ........... if it is a serious piece of writing then, i am afraid, i am going to have to pull out my hair after a downing a fifth of scotch ........... i knew there was a reason why i never trusted people who drink chardonnay !

``On the table across pseudo-intellectual rhetoric slogans are tossed around the table like poker cards by Saville-Row sartorial spastics. ``........... no........i don`t have the energy to disect this piece of doodoo !

Re: # 52

tahmed,

....... you old fox !.......... i agree - we should give this man a little more rope to hang himself with ! .........

``Dusk prays for me to transform. Blood-red buses blitz past the clobber. My blood-red patience wears thinner than a bulimia-laden epidemic. You are earnestly drinking and fair-mindedly chewing on Davidoffs. Spraining to invoke the illusion of permanence. There is NONE. ``

........ what the heck is clobber ??? ..... whoxse clobber is it ? .........and i have been trying to imagine a bulimia-red patience ..... i guess if you are a pretentious pompous ass you can make up anything you want, regardless of whether it makes any sense or not !!! .......... what the hell is ``fair-minded`` chewing on a cheap cigar ( you can get a box of twnty five 1000`s for less than 150 !) - no wonder we have bulimia .........spraining !!.... whoa !.......... my english teacher, the bandy legged ms flannagan, would have been proud of that one !.......... what the heck was wrong with good old ``straining`` ...... after all an old fashioned strain can cause a sprain if you try hard enough !!.............

........... pretentious, painful, and contrived !!!

p.s. chowk staff: please get this crap off the front page before i blow a gasket !

This whole piece is so much mumbo-jumbo and little else.
