#28, Ozer Kardesh,
Iyiyim. Bir sey degil. Of course, I like Sultanahmet area and the waterfront near Eminonu the best. I go over to Haider Pasha quite often too. :)

Can`t wait till you post your next masterpiece. I would be really iinterested in your thoughts about why we Muslims can`t develop a Hyde Park type of verbal freedom?

Iyi geceler. :)

#24, Soysauce, {``groaning and moaning results in nothing more than a neat row of dots and yet you know with as much certitude as you can muster that a linear row of dots is no match for curves, vertical lines and crisscrossing alphabets. You win yet again.``}

Soy,
Beautiful. You are like Iqbal praising Ghalib. :)

If Chowk were connected by telegraph, then indeed Hamidum would be Shaikh Sabir. But, wouldn`t he need at least a few dashes to be understood even by Morse himself? Where is dotty when we need him?

#23, Something needs to lighten up your feeble, faint, and filtered posts. :) Speaking of insecurity, you haven`t been banned yet? :)

#24: What a brilliant critique.

Ozer, what brilliance! Your purple prose positively propels panjandrum-like people to pay heed!
With the singular obsession of creating irreducible works of art in an inebriated state you hover above everyone else`s head (except mine of course). I challenge the likes of hamidm, the esteemed and emasculated ex-paki to manage to match your brilliance but alas, all that groaning and moaning results in nothing more than a neat row of dots and yet you know with as much certitude as you can muster that a linear row of dots is no match for curves, vertical lines and crisscrossing alphabets. You win yet again.
Let the yappers yap, the nappers nap, the poppers pop and toppers top. Nothing can match your linguistic talents especially hamidm`s lingual outpourings.
Keep writing.

#22, scout {``rumor has it, Salim_Chauhan goes around Turkish toilets looking at turds and praising them for being Turkish before flushing them.``}

...and they keep returning to Chowk as scout, saminasha, khamkhwa, fuzooluno, and atif2.

#19, hamidum{``but defending poser khalid is going a bit too far ......... what`s next ?...... hitler?... romair?``}

Humidum Sahib,
Forget Adolph and the Captain. I have defended your octogenarian colleague in the past and that is way too far, I admit. Let`s see if Ms. Jahangir will take him on - as a client, of course, in his suit over his Chowk ``muzzlement. `` :_

Judging from your uncharacteristically long post on the ``culture`` board, I see that you have learned quite a bit from Ozer - not to the point of plagiarism yet, but definitely a dutiful shaagird no doubt. :)

#16, hamidum {``but since samina is watching we will try and keep all references to fecal matter and offal out of this ....... ``}

Hamdium Sahib,
Even you have noticed her unusual hysteria, bordering on orgasmic delight, upon such references.

Sir, I suspect that you must be reading this masterpiece in too dark a location. May I suggest replacing the burned-out light bulb with one that works. No, I was referring to the lamp in your room. :)

Re: # 11
The reason why Salim Chauhan is upset by your critique of this article is because he wrote it :) ``}

Your incremental stupidity and extreme fondness for conspiracy theories never cease to amaze me. Yes, I am Ozer. Now be happy and go forth and multiply - wait on second thought, just be happy and go forth.

calling dr shankar .........

........ now that somone mentioned naipaul on the other board, i am compelled to return to this turgid masterpiece ........... i actually wanted to say ``putrid masterpice`` but since samina is watching we will try and keep all references to fecal matter and offal out of this .......

audaciously absorbed deafeningly screams
Cobra tongues
perniciously pierces bodily systems
snaking and slithering down wine-red blood vesse
sking down this Alpine snow “line by line”
border outposts of capillaries being invaded like the West Bank and Gaza in nano-seconds (and this ws meant to be read between the lines !!!!)

............. all this and much much more in less than six lines !............... the man is unstoppable ! ............ but why does he make me so mad?....... why do i care?.......... i hate him more than hitler and romair (not rommel) ?............... why? why?........... i need to see a shrink !
