Close Encounter

#138

what you need, as hamidm suggested elsewhere, is a decent drink.

In the back waters of turkey, they do make some very good hooch. Dont go for the usual plonk you get in the bazaars. Enquire and ask locals, and you can get some really cool stuff.

as they say lifes a beeaytch (or somesuch thing- a formulation preferred by that honest and decent lady from cuny)

Meray TeRhay Bahi,
Nothing to do with sharp wit, my friend. It is simply indignation (and extreme jealousy :) )at seeing this type of inferior material published on FP, especially when my input was cruelly ignored. I enrolled in weekly writing classes, spent my evenings attending poetry readings (UGH!!), and started writing ``Dear Mr. Editor`` letters to periodicals wo which I had never even subscribed.
I am NOT looking for attention and recognition. I do demand laughter, that`s all. And yes, I expect to be entertained, not bored as in this piece.
The multiple nics are a result of Chowk`s unfair and one-sided blacklisting/banning/censoring policy. I have been forced to resort to multiple nics to evade/confuse/bypass the full time Chaprasi employed by Chowk to filter/delete/erase/edit my messages.
Thanks,
Salim

Godot, my friend, I am just a court jester. I live for laughs. Chowk makes me laugh several times a day. In return, I try to make others laugh. If you laughed, you made my day. Thanks,
But, as a court jester, it is fun sometimes to see His Imperial Majesty without his clothers. :)

Thanks for your encouragement AND your support. :)

Loha Bhai,
Any nic with three digits would be definite improvement. :)

tempura,

Dehk-I am a MARRIED MAN...if Fatso Bibi thinks even a look my way comes from a woman`s eyeball, she will roll over me till I become thinner than a chappati. Please refrain from suggestion of masti masti.

Bina,

Please dont NOT try to contact me via unplugged.

Oh my GOD! First of all I want to thank my director, then my producer, and the cameramen, and ...:)

oye warpster sahib,

I toe-tal-ly agree with you. This good taste and good manners is gora chaatri! Where is the dushdush! and daradam! No gori nangi pathungi running around, no good desi wife or ma on the veg of tears? Why is all action suggested, hain? Why doesnt Jamil have better sense of his oppression as Brown Muslim Man, hain? This is not very good at all, we desis need to speak with one voice, hain? This should have many many many more words! Grand gestures, yaar! Where is Amitabh Bachan hain? Is some puny goat boy going to carry this plot? Abey, who will play him, some unknown crybaby abcd?

Kaura,
Reminds of a similar question about why the moutain climber insisted on climbing this mountain. :)
``Because it`s there!``

The following concept should not be hard to understand:

Personal information on any interactor, be it their full names, photos, workplace addresses, personal addresses SHOULD NOT be posted without the EXPRESSED PERMISSION of the interactor on this website. ``}

Again, it comes down to ``Do as I say and not as I do.`` Someone, in a naive attack of Good Samaritan syndrome taught Ms. Saminasha how to post pictures. Ever since that fateful day, we have seen a substantial decrease in her cut & paste pollution, only to be replace by a barrage of pictures. Many of these pictures are of real people - fat, apparently gay, old, not so pretty, and so on. Ms Saminasha attributed these pictures to Chowkies she considered her opponents. I wonder if Ms. Saminasha obtained the EXPRESSED PERMISSION in writing from the people whose pictures she obtained off the PUBLIC INTERNET or of the Chowkies she tried to defame falsely?

trmntr_x #124:

this gem is misplaced here

(still chuckling)

ps: did you approach the new-age woman (binoo) so publicly seeking you out?

I only lurk here mostly.. and so am not fully informed about the local politics.. I fail to see why so much energy is being expended on insults here.. Quite possibly the insulters and insultees take great pleasure in the exchanges

Salim (with all his nicks) undoubtedly has a sharp wit.. Makes no sense to censor him provided he cleans up his act (sticks to one nick for starters) and doesnt cross certain boundaries. Isnt it obvious that Salim is looking for attention and recognition?

regarding this piece.. its not horrible.. it is simply mediocre. The J^3 reminded me of A^3 (a hindi movie from the 70s).. Too much of this is in the third person.. the few first person conversations are unconvincing and sound phony. Maybe t has a big reputation here and has stepped on toes.

speaking of which.. Nikkas pakistan was a very fine tale... and it hardly got any discussion.

Iron Mask (T)

Samin Asha is writing her own name here. She is posting with that name. What is confidential here? Is she idiot?

I am seeing this ``dialoguing`` about poetry (see fatso bibi, i am using ``the language of my master`` to clean-er dismanto...dehk...dismantle...his house! This poetry bijniz is very mushkill, hain?! I like my poetry to beat me around the head and ask me if I am a Pakistani, Pakistan Zindabad! All these slippy sloppy areas should not be tolerated-this is how romeo and juliet got involved in that hanky panky and all the propty was lost, hain? This Richard Wright poem for example. Fatso Bibi showed me a sabak where she had to read ``Those Winter Sundays`` and ``analyse`` the meaning of the poem. Abey why not Wright Sahib just say, ``Oye! It was damn cold and I wore my chappal to chop wood so that my good for nothing family could warm their chooters! Allah help me this is the burden of being a man!`` Hain?! Why this ``austere offices of love`` hain? ``how was I to know``?, hain? You either know or you dont, gatha! Did your babaji let you freeze? This is the problem with these Amrikan poetry, the kaalas only complain and call their women African Queens and the goras are trying to capture some kind of inexplicable moment...bakwas all of it!

Where is my John Grisham book, hain? Fatso Bibi keeps asking me to read Frank O`Hara. What the hell is this lunchbox poem with no lunch, hain?!

#71, {``1. post of their full names
2. repeated post of their photos
3. repeated post of their workplace ``}

While it has been conclusively proven that I had nothing to do with discovering and posting such photos, the record is clear that ever since Ms. Saminasha`s picture was displayed, there has NOT been a single incident of attempted sexual harassment against her. Is that why the middle-aged flirt is now complaining?

Re: # 122
********420 who is complaining here? I cannot see one complaint. In fact it is just a list of things people want done, disguised as a litany of woes. Nothing else explains the reason why this keeps popping up (or is it bobbing down?) repeatedly every other week....
P.s I hope you dont mind the new nic given to you
