Twist in part 2 made central character totally unbelievable.

Your lead character were reciting urdu couplet together in part 1. Female character is obviously picking urdu poetry being recited by male character. In part 2 we suddenly find that female character can`t lip read urdu but is able to read English so well that for months you will not be able to notice.

I would have found female character more believable had that been a cross dresser or transvestite. Current scenario is just not believable.

bulleya:

Nice twist. It needs some pruning, just like the first part. The characters are getting better defined; the girl is coming out as a strong personality and the boy the jerk. I have a feeling that the boy might redeem himself in the final part.

PS: You seem to have worked hard at learning the music terminology and expressions.

NazarHayatKhan,

Very nice!

I have noticed that the Jewish man`s approach tends to work quite well, especially on Jewish men. I am speaking from personal experience here.

I dont know if it would work on women though, I guess on some it does! Others, NOT!

Raja

I am reminded of a incident about what that old Jewish man from Manhattan said.

Many years back, I wrote an article `The Femae Chemistry`.

Simply put, it was about the typical South Asian mentality of `How to rope a woman`. It was quite a rubbish though it gort published in `femina` in India and `Men`s Fashion` in Pakistan.

It talked about the `gradual approach remaining a step behind the woman`s emotions`. First get familiar, then planned chance encounters, then cards, then coffee/tea - finally dinner. Necklace - lingerie. It was quite a bullshit.

So I told this to this 70 year`s old weatherbeaten New Yorker.

He gave a big laugh & said. ``Just take her to dinner and when you are driving back - suggest `Lets Fucxk``.

nhk

While first part of this story was really a pleasure to read, this part is a pain!! First part was like a very soft and delicate song of love, this part reads like a forced climax. You should have ended this story in part 1.

thx

Calling all dumbasses!

He already said that it is based on real stuff with which he took some liberties.

What a bunch of moronic turkeys!

Re: # 30, 27 feels good read like that compared to ``mad madani``.

Bulleya Sahib,
The ability to sing has less to do with the ear and more to do with the brain.

I am by no means an expert on this, but I speak from my personal experience as a person who has been singing all his life. If your ear (in reality your brain) has been trained to sing in perfect pitch, then singing is purely a motor activity and not a sensory one. You dont have to listen to a tone to remember what it sounds like. The brain commands the vocal cards to sing in that tone. It has little to do with hearing if your mind is well trained and knows how to recognize musical sounds and to generate them through the vocal cords.

Perfect pitch is the ability some gifted individuals have to recognize a tone`s pitch or a musical note by name or to sing it without musical cue. A person with Passive perfect pitch would listen to a note and would be able to tell what it is, and a person with Active Perfect Pitch would be able to sing it if someone asked to sing, for example F Sharp, or A flat or whatever musical note.

Its an ability that exists in around 1 in 10,000 people and not all people with perfect pitch are singers or musicians. Musical training only enhances this great talent.


I dont know how to answer your question satisfactorily. I only offer my humble opinion.
