The Dream
Posted by freddy-a Jul 22, 2000 01:25 pm
let me just add that while the topic is credit worthy and deserves a platform - i find critical appraisal of the article scant among the replies.

the fact is, the piece is cliche ridden and can become a vehicle for loony leftees.

it bears as much depth as some novelly titled bollywood film like `ishq` or something - and the many scipt permutations they offer.

beautiful young working girl - soon to be medical student drugged into marrying delinquent scar faced villager. who then rapes her. then she kills him.

i can`t really see this developed into palm d`ors material.

(apologies to the author though, it ain`t that bad - just find the replies too passive)

temporal?: thought this was more of a paki tradition than islamic. i read somewhere that a wife of the prophet proposed marriage to him before he did.

u`d never see that in pakistan today .

not overestimating chowkian logic though - especially of those who quote the fair rhymes of `des`ree` !

`spose i`ll join u then.

``I don`t wanna see a ghost

It`s the sight that I fear most

I`d rather have a piece of toast

Watch the evening news

life ooooh life ooooooooooooooooooh life

doo doo do do.``

fantastic ;)
