This article seems published without any evaluation and I still hold my grounds of pointing the loop-holes and the composure it is badly lacking and the worn out norms it is blindly stressing.

Rozaiba,
Islamabad is not at all a bounded Diplomatic Enclave which FYI has been sealed from rest since 9/11. Islamabadis are not diplomatic but they are weaker in stance of opinion making and being thoughtful. Reason being that state is directly responsible and authoritative in almost evey activitiy and procedure. Unfortunately our Diplomats have remained more Bureucrats than setting trends of Diplomacy. Being Diplomatic is not being dissembling a claim rather diplomacy looks highly appreciated when efforts are done for sake of country and its National interest. And Pakistan`s Diplomacy is nothing mere than an mutual understanding of Terms dictated by Our Superior Lord America.
Anyways,
cool judgemental observation .

Re: # 7

Come on, Islamabadis are rather diplomatic.

Your initial remark to this piece was good. Your tone backtracked later.

This trait is common in diplomats. They don`t stand their guard as backtracking is part of their life.

incoherence, though not always a bad trait, should not predominate. this piece didn`t even try to go anywhere. Nadia is needlessly being apologetic as perhaps she has lived in the diplomats enclave called Islamabad for too long. Frontpage articles are always demanding brutal evaluations. Otherwise, Chowk`s prestige will go down.

It is interesting to note that how many young people of today celeberate vanity as if its a new trend, even though its always been there but maybe didnt get so much air time.

``pointing someone in a negative and rather offensive manner.``


This exactly comes under : ``Amr bil maroof wa nahi anil munkir``

My post was not an attempt to offense Humeira Kazmi but a general remark was intended, hope she agrees to this so as her article is meant to.

Humaira,

How much you bribed Chowk Staff to Publish it out on Front Page. Whats the rate going?

Okay okay we will know laterz,

Cheers,

Anyways,

I wonder people nevr fashion the conversation that how they get it? As housewives and daughters of Maaldar Desis: these women are totally ignorant of the frauds, illegal means of getting money and 100001 ways of exempting taxes from business and private firms, giving less to labors. So they enjoy the outcome...Aam khao ...paiR kis nay ginnay hai.n?

I am glad that our parents taught us not to get impressed by such conversations rather ask them the cause of their overwhelming richness which mostly stops such filthy richs from being a pompous n show.

Well a reasonable article although i am a lil confused as to whether you tried to bring out the wonders of blabbering less or is it that people who talk a lot tend to give more info about themselves.. Clear that misconception please.
