Pls dont mind ... but I did not enjoy the reading at all... I couldn`t capture the central, logical point in the play ... the only thing that I could see in the play was a gay relationship with of course F words being used multiple times.... I am trying to ponder what exactly is the author trying to prove in this play? seems quite enigmatic to me ... better luck next time :)

Well well well, after this two scene play again and again I could not get the central idea. May be the author never had one, obscure & quite explicit as it seems.
Aarman (no gender specified for this character, if its a male then the central idea is;
Aarman and David are two Guys involved in some Gay relations and have sworn to each other shall never show their backs to each other, shall live & die together. As the roots of the play belongs to Canada which is yet another multi-cultural country-cum-continent. So I picture the central idea as ``People rushing towards west and suffering from adaptation and ultimately are regretfull (somehow) as their siblings/childs lost their culture``. -OR- if Aarman was a female ``Again we see Nadia and Aarman are getting married (lesbians) and their beloved mother is quite cherished about it``.)
David (His character wasn`t well defined, why did he left?)
Nadia (She was recalling something about Aarman`s father but interuppted by Mrs. Nawaz)
Mrs.Nawaz (A very satified character over all, happy all the way, living in fools paradise?)

I request a summarised central idea of this play to the author please respond.

Thank you & Regards,
S.A.Rahman

fawad..

violent responses...how `bout like throttling you till you`re one flat board like Wily Coyote in road runner...or plunging your head down the toilet (and thanks for making the hole bigger yaar), and flushing it at least three times (three being a significant number)...or how `bout my not doing any of that, and you just brainlessly (don`t ask me to elaborate on that)walking and jumping into an already poisoned river...hain? hain? hain?

*takes slow deep breaths *...phew, that felt good. Now I can resume my peacenik activities.

And you say love,fawad...harrumph! At the risk of sounding like your ammi and mine, and possibly those of us who care...I`m really disappointed in you yaar..but as I keep saying these days, as long as there is breath, there is hope..chalo..go learn how to write and speak in urdu and leave the femmes alone, you Austin Powers wannabe you. grrrrrrrr....aaaaaarrrrrrgh....love (still, don`t ask why), ana

iranian vs paki women--ana this bud`s for u

1) piety irani--this is a joke these girls dont even pretend to be religious they are all nonpracticing all basically are not muslim

paki----basically they are not pious but they pretend to be and when it gets time to get married some of them put on the holy sister act some are covertibles--hejabis by day hoochie by night

3) what me and my irani friends call the ``b-factor`` how ``btchy are they`` this depends on individuals but since i am sterortyping id say irani girls way more esp to other iranian men its like they are allergic to iranian men they wont date irani men but when they wanna get married lo and behold look who becomes a nice ,virtuous, virgin!!!!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

paki girls---id say it varies but the b-factor is there

4) who is more ``controling`` now this is a toss-up paki women wanna wear the pants most of the time but they yield on the big decision irani women run the god-damn houselhold.......

5) who do you have to buy stuff more for? irani hands down as a people(trust me) they are materialistic..........

6) what do paki women look for in a man when they wanna get married ?????? most although they dont say it want a rhitk rhoshan with an MD .......but they will settle for the MD even if you are a fat slob !!!! enigineer -comp, lawyer etc next (ps if ur a pharmacist like me u will get a lot of compoder jokes from fobby paki girls!!!!!)

irani women---cash cash cash cash bmw and a nice body like i said materialistic........although paki women marry fobs from abroad usually they are poor saps who are doctors who dont know that good ole aisha fcked half the campus in her college days and they just want a green card!!!

last who makes a better wife ? depends if u want respectability marry a paki girl if u want mind-blowing sex do it persian style but forget about respectability and islam!!!!!!!!!!!!

disclaimer: the views of the above post do not necesarily represent those of the author they are just gross generalizations meant to provoke violent responses from gorgeous, short -haired , femme fatales like ana ha ha ajaan:)

``If catholic priests & nuns can live without sex how difficult can it be for some to not do it wrong if they cant do it right at all.``

What consitutes right and wrong here? Your apparent misinformed notion of what is natural?

Would heteros `doing it` with contraceptives be right or wrong? why? or why not?

And is being a homosexual all about `doing it`?!? Get yourself checked!

``Mostly gays are artists either literary or theatre films etc...no matter how much money they make they are dispensable members of the society .Afterall ppl. xcan live with 2nd class entertainment by 2nd class artists as opposed to first class ones who tend to be queer weird & gay .But straight citizens are in professions mostly not huigh paying but indespensable considering there 90% of the population``

What is all the `professional` money-making for if not, eventually, to enjoy the arts and finer things in life?

fawad..

well, I didn`t exactly die laughing...bichare dukhtar who married Jimmy...but yes, it is quite amusing in terms of the men. I think I wrote something similar about marrying a girl from back home to the pakihunk :).

fawad, hit on by women?! U`ve got to take charge. I was at pottery barn yesterday looking at their pillar candles. (They have got some of the most fragrant candles you`ll find, the lavender are the best) This sales girl came by and asked if I needed help. I said no. She came by again in a few minutes. I got the hint and whipped out my card. I said will U call me. She seemed to stop cold but then said it`s almost time for my lunch break. I said let`s go to starbucks next door & I`m buying. We had a great time. She just got out of college with a degree in International Relations (I said that`s great! Ur merkin, me ferner) and teaches ballet on weekends. Will be seeing her this friday. I`m making pasta from scratch and after that may be we`ll go to The Good Girl. I hear it`s a chick flick. The woman is a knockout. Tall, slender and with legs that go on forever.

At starbucks we were within earshot of a lesbian couple who were arguing the whole time. Who knows what about. May be they couldn`t decide who would take the trash out or who cleans the bath room.

A bit of advice. Avoid desi girls. If they show any interest in desi men, it`s because they are either ugly, short or mentally unstable or all of the above.

Bridal imports

We are dealing with a generation that is a bit shaky upstairs

August 20, 2002

The Iranian

Most of us Iranian men are at the verge of nervous breakdown. We just don`t know it. There is a considerable number of first generation Iranian immigrants in there mid thirties and forties who are mentally unstable. Trust me on that. I`m a lunatic myself and I know a cuckoo when I see one.

I`m not suggesting that most Iranian baby boomers that live abroad should check into mental hospitals (that actually might not be a bad idea). But as a whole, we are dealing with a generation that is a bit shaky upstairs.

This has nothing to do with our schooling, profession, social status, or intellect. But it has a lot to do with the way we perceive ourselves. It`s not really our fault. It`s just the way it is. Growing up away from loved ones, in unknown and peculiar cultures, naturally put a damper on one`s mental well being.

But the real reason for our occasional psychological burps can be summed up in three words, ``lack of sex``. That`s right folks; shortage of sexual activity combined with highly impulsive libido irruptions are responsible for turning us into a bunch of hairy, mental, nutcases.

I be the first to admit that I`m completely whacked in the head and I`ve had my share of nervous break downs. That alone makes me an authority on the subject.

What I find most entertaining is how some of us cuckoos embark on a journey to the old country to find ourselves a good old-fashioned, virtuous, virgin wife. Imaging the poor, unsuspecting lady back home, properly trained, highly pampered, innocently naive, awaiting for that one hero on a white horse with shining armor (and off course a Green Card) -- the one man of distinguished valor who has set sail over deserts, mountains, and seas, coming to sweep her off her feet, fight the forces of darkness, save the day, and take her to a far away place where life is so much better.

What a bunch of crap!

What the poor woman doesn`t know is the fact that some of us so-called, wife searching, Green Card carrying, SUV driving, expatriates are whacked in the head. Nothing is more amusing than watching a guy bring a perfectly healthy, beautiful, intelligent woman from the old country into his screwed up life.

I`m sure you have seen the look. You know what I`m talking about, right? The look of realization on the newly arrived. Women who met their husbands last month and just discovered what a mess they got themselves into. We see that look in parties and family gatherings all the time.

``She has the look!``

``What do you expect? She married Jimmy.``

``Who?``

``Jimmy. You know, Javad Agha.``

``You`re kidding!!!!?``

``Kid you not.``

You see, Javad Agha -- also known laughingly in his gas station as Jimmy -- is a typical Iranian man like you and I. He is short and round with a magnificent nose that can easily sock in 2000 cubic feet of air per second. His hair has migrated from all the right places on his skull to all the ones and he has a temper that only his mama can tolerate.

There is nothing wrong with physical shortcomings so long as the man is blessed with a pleasant personality, right? Well, let me put it this way: Javad Agha`s 1980 TOYOTA pickup truck has more personality than Javad Agha.

Javad Agha -- sexually frustrated and horny like a dog -- repeatedly finds himself humping the bedpost in the middle of the night. There was no doubt that little Jimmy was ready to enter the ``adventures of matrimony``. After all, forty years of fruitless bachelorhood had taken its toll and lost its fun.

Javad Agha soon packed his bags and left port on an expedition to dig himself a mate. After consulting with his mama, he picked up his round-trip ticket from Los Angles to Tehran to Shabdolazim and found himself pleasantly surprised by prospects.

``It`s so cool over there dude. It`s like a big orgy. They`re gonna open whorehouses in every street corner. I`m telling you. Young girls everywhere and they are all horny.``

Women actually acknowledged Javad; they respected him, and talked to him, which was one hell of a change from Los Angles where Iranian women ran out of the room when Javad Agha entered.

Javad Agha mingled, socialized, and charmed the prospects while saving himself for the right woman. After all, one has to be patient when it comes to choosing a wife who is submissive and willing to cook, clean, serve... cook, clean, serve... cook, clean, serve...

Javad Agha searched and searched until he -- in two weeks -- found what he was looking for and the rest is history.

Javad and the newly imported wife are now back in Los Angles and while Javad Agha walks around with a smile on his face that runs ear to ear, the wife stares at an infinite point like a zombie. At first the common notion was that the wife was suffering from sever jetlag. But a year later, the argument hardly holds ground.

Now, don`t get me wrong. I have absolutely nothing against the practice of importing spouse from the old country. As a matter of fact, I would have done the same myself if they would let me out of this damn psychiatric hospital.
