[What if Hindoo write a note to Austin authorities about your ties with Al Kayda. Will that have any impact on your consulting business where you are milking money of US tax payers?]

And what makes you so sure that they have not already done that?

Hindoos are just respectfully waiting for you to invite them to do so. They can not do that without an explicit invitation from a respectful gentleman like you. All you need to do is post name of your consulting company, your austin phone number, name of austin municipal authority and they will do the rest..

Very very respectfully submitted.

Echoes Chowk editors,
Look look, Godot is stalking me ;-) She is not doing anything meaningful, no feedback, no suggestions. Only thing she is doing is ``criticism`` and that too of me.

Do I have your kind permission to draw her attention to your rule ``Dialogue between interactors will not be carried in this section. ``. You may also tell her that ``survey`` will finally help you what I/we ``think about the site, the editorial and the overall look``. Also tell her that ``dangal`` ki zagah unplugged per hai.

Echoes Chowk editor
I am requesting you one more time to stop Godot. She is stalking and harassing me. She has no right to indulge in private interactions on this board.

Echoes Chowk editor
Godot is harrassing me.. Ban her nick.

Echoes chowk editors
Can you please remove Godot`s interacts on this page? He is ignoring your guidelines ;-) Ban her for few days

Echoes Chowk staff,
One more suggestion (though it is quite clear that you know all and will not read it)..

Create an online survey to find out how many Chowkies think that FV is a good choice for chowk editor. Also find out if Chowk is serving its purpose and need.

You have made excellent progress in your demagogic skills. You have successfully converted this write-up on bomb-blast in Karachi to a congress/Gandhi bashing discussion. I was wondering if your dragging Congress and Frontier Gandhi in your post#5 will be successful.

Islam in danger was also exploited when Muslims were asked to rebel against the British rulers for they were hell bent on destroying the Turkish Khilafat.
Islam in danger was more conveniently exploited when Jamaat-e-Islami and other Congress allies, the Mullahs, attacked the Muslim leaguers for being too westernised and ``kemalist`` in their thinking...
Islam in danger was also used by Ghaffar Khan (And his ally Fakir of Ipi) when he declared that the government of Pakistan would be too westernised and in conflict with the principles of shariat...

Obviously it has been very successful. Now you can sucessfully ignore all failure of Pakistan and its people as long as you can somehow pin blame on Congress.. Congratulations..

Unfortunate truth is that ``world does not care...``. I think reason is due to image that Kashmir and Pakistan has acquired during last few decades. Whenever these areas are in news than it is not for some accomplishment but due to some accident, calamity or misfortune. Last two days had ``violence in gilgit`` and ``Mobs burn churches``.

Pakistan is not being singled out for such treatment. Angola, Somalia and Congo also went through same treatment.

``This space should, however, be treated as a `Letter to the Ed` with suggestions/comments and not to get into a dialogue with one another as has been clearly stated.``

Let us give it a try.. At least now editor has a face and not a god like creature hidden somehwere on seventh level.

Dead editor sahiba,
Here are some suggestions. Will wait for your response.
0. Avoid trying to solve Indo-Pak issues on this forum. Chowk has become a playground of arm chair experts who have not been able to achieve anything in their life other than writing 5000+ posts on chowk. For one year, DO NOT publish anything on contemporary Indo-pak relations. Chowkies are not mature enough to participate in such discussion.
1. Publish lots of short stories and literature - if you do not get good stuff than atleast publish translations of old stories
2. Get some material on real history - history of people as written by real people. Check http://historytalking.com for how they are doing it.
3. Publish more travelogues - about every coner of sub-continent and beyond.
4. Do not write editorial unless you can write some quality unbiased material. Check http://www.weeklyholiday.net for a sample of good editorial.
5. Make dost-mitter and Nazar Hyat Khan ``ombudsman`` of chowk.

Why Doesn’t the World Care? HP #171

Gujju,
Seems like you are from a humble background...$800 engg. college? was that a school or a barber shop?
But I guess it is possible if you got some donations and charity for you education.
Maybe it is possible…India being a poor country.

Beta HP, think! and prey!! and focus on what could have happend if your Quaids and CEOs had forsight to focus more on education and less on F-16s. You wouldn`t be a taxi driver in Washington DC. And your family wouldn`t have to use backdoor method (recently publicised by Mushy) to gain US VISA.

Why Doesn’t the World Care? Guess who?
