By the way, what did Marina ever do to get mention in two articles by you?



Never taught the recipe for cheese omelet on her show.

Another good one. Really enjoyed it. Love the way how everything so disparate gels up to give something like this, not the mention the subtle connections, doesnt really make it look like a jump from the topic.

Guess I missed your earlier posting of Frontier Baby Blues. But did get a chance to read Cable-Unable was really hilarious.

``It was well past midnight. Early enough for the creatures of the night to be fooled by the sudden pale brightness of the sky.

Sunshine would be a welcoming reality, the cyclic dawn of morality. That is, if it didn’t rain cats and dogs, beef and mutton. ``

The most pathetic irrelevant article to be on chowk at this juncture trying to be allegoric. How about some dose of reality and relevance, read this

It was in the afternoon on a sunny day in Quetta. Sunshine is areality, the shia muslims were inspired to go to the nearest mosque. Along with them were three poducts of the madrassa on an urgent trip to heaven to be with the 72 houris.
As they mounted the flying donkey, the donkey was strained by their well fed frames

`` see how well the madrassa treat the poor, how well fed they are`` said tahmed
`` it is the indians, their consulates in herat are doing this`` said jamali
``the chinese grenades are good`` said ISI
``this should show edhi in bad light, he cannot move all the injured quickly to hospitals`` said blue crescent
``only way to stp this is to send them to kashmir`` general Gul
``TNT is an evolving concept, when hindus are finished find another`` the ghost said .
