Pakistan’s Choice

I see a great opportunity for indians here...we can create a little competition between manto and haroon for who treats Indians better and exploit the situation to our advantage....dekho, manto offered me Cocoo`s or is it Cucko`s, free trip to Nanakan sahib, oh dholi da naaN bhull giya...a trip to my relative`s villages close to border, atrip to Hiramandi and Anarkalli bazaar..and ..of course duncan donuts...if anyone can up that offer, I am all yours.:-)

Re: # 533
Aslam777 - Since you have an interest in stock markets, and your decision to hold shares that you like forever is in synch with the philosophy of other master investors like Benjamin Graham who was the mentor of Warren Buffet (the world`s most succesful investor), I recommend that you read the book, `The Intelligent Investor: The Definitive Book On Value Investing, Revised Edition by Benjamin Graham`. You will retire as a rich man!

#531 Arjun, I actually want you to visit Pakistan and be my guest. Why don`t you consider the offer? As in, for many Indians and American-of-Indian-origin, it`s a once-in-a-life-time-offer.

Haroon bhai...I am glad you did not write last long phrase in bold letters...arjun te pehlaN ee dareya hoyea te tusi uttoN once-a-life-time di ratt layee ay.:-)

Friend, #550 {``BTW, I hope you only study incest and do not go any further.. ``}

Dost, too late, I already married my second cousin. :)

as harimau`s pointed out in the past, that`s a myth...You can check out the history of IIT Kharagpur

Language spoken in Old Delhi and Lucknow areas is somewhere between Pakistan`s arabic Urdu and our Sanskritized hindi. So it contains lot of such words.
BTW, I hope you only study incest and do not go any further..

This is precisely the reason I yelled at shrink to stop instigating the kids. Let kids fight and than make it up. No use in unnecessary instigating them..

#545, {``Arjun, I am going to be in Pakistan for till at least next year`s June,``}

Another unfortunate innocent casualty of 9/11 and the London bombings. Our young hero cannot get a visa immediately.
Perhaps, a recommendation from Jenny McCarthy ...

Hermann Goering famously told an interviewer during his trial at Nuremberg that:

``People don`t want to go to war...But, after all, it`s the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it`s always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it`s a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a parliament or a communist dictatorship...Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to greater danger. It works the same way in any country.``

Just picked that up some where, thought I`d share it!

Arjun, #546 {``In any case, you can search through my posts and see where I`ve expressed a personal loathing of pakis... ``}

I would tend to agree with you. Unfortunately, I cannot make the same claim. :)

I did qualify that...under the right circumstances...

In any case, you can search through my posts and see where I`ve expressed a personal loathing of pakis...

obviously not a big fan of the jihad support but without using a cliche, i have many pakistani friends..

Arjun, I am going to be in Pakistan for till at least next year`s June, since after that I will be going abroad for college and would visit only in the vacations.

However, for the next 11 months I am mostly going to be in Pakistan(besides my proposed Model United Nations trip to Beijing, Mumbai, and Colombo), so whenever your plan materializes just let me know.

Godot..Arjun was just trying to be nice. A visit to Pakistan is ill advised in the post-London bombing world.

If Arjun is talking about accepting an invitation to meet Haroon and Yasser, then Chowk has succeeded in its mission impossible: turn sworn enemies into friends. Pakistan and India do indeed have a bright future together, and Chowk must take a huge credit for it!

Congratulations, Chowk!!!

India`s progress in IT is not because of IITs but because of the proliferation of private engineering colleges in the 1990s. IITs have always been there...but cater to only 2000-3000 students , most of who go abroad. Most of the recruitments made by Indian companies come from humble private engineering colleges like mine - which collectively today produce over 300,000 graduates each year.

Friend #522 {``What urdu! Mardood mein to hindi mein likh raha tha. Zalim is 100% khalis hindi;-) ``}

OK, if you insist, you can have `Zalim` as a 100% Khalis Hindi word. Just to let you know, you used three words - Urdu (Turkish), Mardood (Farsi, I think!), Zalim (100% Arabic from the root word ZLM and associated with Zulum, Mazloom, etc..)

You didn`t know that I was an entymologist. HA HA :) Yes, I study incest.
