Re: # 228

aman:

behram is just a mirror image of ranjit. he is a rabid indian hater and a liar to boot.

here is how it all started, when ranjit was nowhere on the horizon:

Re: # 227

behram:

i didn`t what to dive into your ``intellectual`` discussion with ranjit, but couldn`t help noticing your lack of reading comprehension.

in post # 190, ranjit means the area which comprises pakistan of today. Moreover the ``good-looking`` pakis and ``ugly`` indians tug-of-war was started by you. now don`t disown it. atleast stand by your convictions because i know ``parsis don`t lie`` ;)

no wonder i was disappointed by your replies in the gandhi thread.

respectfully and truthfully submitted

Behram,

Ranjit, is a rabid Pakistani hater, he is best ignored. Sometimes I think that Ranjit is a chowk staffer, bec everytime when the interacts are tepid and sane there comes one explosive one from ranjit to get more interacts going again.

Re: # 226

Dear amansandhu:

Actually, I agree with you that [If fair skin and sharp features are a criteria than come to Punjab, Haryana and Himachal in India where every second person is fair skinned and sharp featured that it is no big deal.]

But, you must not have read Ranjit`s (Post #90), wherein he accused that somehow the good looks of some Indians were due to [Until then it would be a picnic slaughtering Pakistanis and raping their women, which explains their ``good looks`` that they are proud of today.] their women being raped. Because we did not have Pakistan before 1947. Or did we? So according to Ranjit, all those who have fair skin and consider themselves ``good looking`` are off-springs of someone raping someone.

Let us just find out from ranjit, whose ancestors were raped.

Respectfully submitted,

#Berham and other Pakistanis,

I have been reading about Pakis being better loking than Indians etc etc, for quite some time now. If fair skin and sharp features are a criteria than come to Punjab, Haryana and Himachal in India where every second person is fair skinned and sharp featured that it is no big deal. Thankfully Indians are not obssesed with white skin any more.

#218, {``unlike you, mr. walking STD ``}

Wrong again, lil paki scout, :)

While we were in the Chowk slammer, you made several advances that I repulsed. I knew fully well that you were a carrier. You little stool pigeon, you.

Friend, #223 {``But a reality check for you, dear Saheb! Last I heard, bania culture has been making deep inroads in Pakistani towns.``}

Dost,
You have a very good point there. The cultural impact of Bollywood and Jee TV is apparent. So many Pakis now understand really Hindi words such as chinta, prem, bhawishr, aashirvad, etc..

Is it possible that there is a plot to use Bollywood to undo the TNT?

After Partition, the Indians have made a conscious effort to Hinduize/indigenize it by replacing Persian/Arabic words with Sanskrit ones and coining new terms, e.g., ``doordarshan`` for ``television.``

Haan saheb, we bloody indian are really to be blamed for this hindi-urdu mess. Pakistan are so good and have take soooo much pride in their heritage..

But a reality check for you, dear Saheb! Last I heard, bania culture has been making deep inroads in Pakistani towns. Kids are imitating hindi dialogues. Women are singing hindi songs during marriages.

And she knows exactly where to get the two tires for those two wheels. Yes, you can take off the tires from around your neck - save the matches and don`t you know that there is a gasoline shortage.

#217, Scout {``how low is Salim_Chauan going when he tries to score points over me for exposing his psychosis by falsely accusing me of making fun of earthquake victims.
...if there is a God, may this runt be run over by a 16 wheeler and sent to hell where he belongs.``}

Scout (Chowk`s perpetual liar and conniving canine of the female gender),
You are lying again. Did you or did you not start a thread right after the earthquake in Pakistan poking fun at the unfortunate victims by asking why nothing tragic happens in Idaho and Wyoming? Then you followed that up with more heartless ``jokes`` about the poor victims. Stop lying. You got caught with your chaddis down.

If your belief in God is based on 16 wheelers disposing of your enemies, then you may as well become the atheist that you pretend to be. That would be far better for you than your blatant insults that you hurled upon the Holy Prophet (PBUH) by calling him a pedophile. Even young Haroon wanted to run you over with a car.

Maybe you are not a liar after all. Advanced syphillis can cause brain damage and you are well on your way. Are you sure that you were not there in the tent with Ms Jahangir? You seem to be so sure of her innocence. Seriously, drinking coffee is not all that bad - just make sure that you use the right end of your miserable torso when you indulge in that drink.

#217,

Ummmm, Scout, don`t you mean an 18 wheeler? Two more wheels to make sure the job is done right?

+++++++++++++

I thought the language debate, on Urdu vs. Hindi, is pretty much pointless. I recall reading that when the Gora Saab came to Hindia, they found that there was pretty much one language in Northern India that served as a de facto lingua franca. The Gora Saab, in his infinite wisdom, decided to call that language ``Hindustani.`` They also noted that the Muslims, when they spoke it, added a few Persian/Arabic words and called it ``Urdu.`` When Hindus spoke it, they added a few Sanskrit words and called it ``Hindi.`` I also recall reading elsewhere that Hindustani, when written in the modified Persian script is called Urdu and when written in Devnagri (?) script is called Hindi. That is, its the same frigging language!

After Partition, the Indians have made a conscious effort to Hinduize/indigenize it by replacing Persian/Arabic words with Sanskrit ones and coining new terms, e.g., ``doordarshan`` for ``television.``

Re: # 212

a person who calls Hindu women prostitutes shouldn`t be talking about hamidm making of Indians.... anyone who knows him knows that he makes fun of pakistanis and indians equally and without any sincere malice

unlike you, mr. walking STD

how low is Salim_Chauan going when he tries to score points over me for exposing his psychosis by falsely accusing me of making fun of earthquake victims.

so now anyone who shows salim chauhan the mirror is going to get accused of making fun of earthquake victims.

if there is a God, may this runt be run over by a 16 wheeler and sent to hell where he belongs

Re: # 209

no i wouldn`t want to contract any disease by beating up the walking STD named Salim_Chauhan, cyber beatings are enough for this bayghairat psycho.

you can train a dog to listen to you but you can`t train Salim_Chauhan to follow the interact guidelines posted by Chowk staff.

after being banned several times for harrassing people, plastering chowkies` photographs and names without any respect for anyone`s privacy, this bayghairat still has the nerve to come on Chowk.
