Absent in the Spring #63 HP, stop obfuscating. You made a serious allegation of plagiarism against Beej K. Singh(obviously not his real name) in your post #13 and gleefully repeated it as a self-evident truth in #46. repeating the same lie again and again will not make it the truth.
Do you have any evidence whatsoever to prove your claim that Beej is a plagiarist? Or is this like Saminasha some time ago calling Salim Chauhan a plagiarist because his satirical article on how Muslims should behave in ``Infidelistan`` read **somewhat** like an NYT op-ed she`d read? If it is, then in all fairness, chowk staff needs to delete your posts unless you come up with some persuasive evidence that this piece has in fact been plagiarised. That`s what Samina suffered and so should you.

Various- Beej,
Abey stop being a chutya and getting personal with each and every interactor who has a problem with your story. For someone who doesn`t write that much, you should be in seventh heaven that one of your stories is being suspected of being copied from someone great.
I myself didn`t believe you had it in you- your utterly boring janitor chronicles and your pompous never-ending posts here and on UP led me to believe THAT was the extent of your literary capabilities- but damned if I`d ever make an accusation of plagiarism without at least rudimentary proof.
Now that you`ve professed your love for me, it becomes doubly difficult!
Cheers
Burpie

King Mswati of Swaziland has a fetish for young brides...mebbe he comes to Islamabad to pick one of your Paki hotties for next year`s parrrty...

Topless virgins vie for Swaziland’s king
Updated: 12:48 p.m. ET Aug. 29, 2005
LUDZIDZINI ROYAL VILLAGE, Swaziland - More than 50,000 bare-breasted virgins vied to become the King of Swaziland’s 13th wife on Monday in a ceremony which critics say ill befits a country with the world’s highest HIV/AIDS rate.

King Mswati III, sub-Saharan Africa’s last absolute monarch, arrived dressed in a leopard-skin loincloth to watch the Reed Dance ceremony, which he has used since 1999 to pluck new brides from the girls dressed in little more than beaded mini-skirts.

Wielding machetes and singing tributes to the king and queen mother, also known as the Great She-Elephant, the girls danced around the royal stadium in the hope of catching the eye of the 37-year-old monarch.

I think ``ballukhan`` is a cool name for a dog as well ;))))

Musty Tomes Full of Trouble The quote about Pakistanis is hilarious: On the other hand, (and I have to admit this is my personal opinion and there are very many exceptions), I frequently find Pakistani graduates as being defensive, unable to reconcile national Pakistani history with its perennial search for its identity/ideology and often hung up on religion.

Hey, if it got behram`s panties all in a twist, it`s good enough for me!

L’affaires, Americans and Desis Farzana, you have every right to poke fun at American desis and I thought the piece was pretty tongue-in-cheek, but this is over the top:
``...desis seem to have a problem dealing with their own kind, which is why I suppose they spend an inordinate amount of time gossiping anonymously on websites.``
If that`s your opinion of chowk and its interactors, perhaps you should reconsider being associated with it as chief editor?

Get off her back… Arundhati Roy is a good author. ``God of Small Things`` was eminently readable, the disgusting incest scene notwithstanding. ``In Which Ani gives it those Ones...``which was scripted by Ms. Roy, was a helluva cult Indian-English film, long before Rahul Bose ever made those chic.

Arundhati Roy is beautiful. Lovely, almost angelic features, and she should never have cut her hair.

Arundhati Roy is a flower-power posterchild. Someone tell her the 60s are over.

Arundhati Roy is quite capable of defending herslf, should the need arise, without being patronised by a medicore columnist for a rag tabloid that only teenagers and train passengers read.

She`s a ``useful idiot``. What does that make the author--a useless one?
