A Trip Down Moscow Lanes [And boy, did they oblige!]
...this was what kept me go through the entire narrative and at the end i felt cheated...but being an eternal optimist, i wait for the more juicier next instalment...;)

Hijacking of Islam [it even opposed the worshipping of Muhammad or other saints and praying at tombs.]
...which islam allows worshipping of humans..be it mohammad or ali...?

[Later Zia al Haq made a Madrassa education necessary for army recruitment.]

...hahahaha...i am sure you have a solid source...like RAW...;)

Hang Guru, if that helps [No modern (I mean NO developed country) has this primitive system of justice except in few states of the US.]

... india is a modern and a developed country...hahaha...;)

Conspiracy Theories: From the Mind to the Media Patwari #5

...from what i have read, the british furnished the soldiers with cartridges coated with grease made from the fat of cows (sacred to hindus) and of pigs (anathema to muslims). they replaced the cartridges when mistake was realized; but suspicion persisted, and in Feb., 1857, began a series of incidents in which sepoys refused to use the cartridges.... as for as hand grenade or grenade is concerned, it has been in use since crimean war but it was first used as a proper weapon in the First World War.

1. Gas Grenades: These were highly toxic, and very effective weapons. The Germans had invented 3 main gas grenades. The first was Chlorine gas, which was used at the battle of Ypres in 1915, killing thousands. Second was Phosgene gas and third was Mustard gas. This burned the lungs of the inhaler leaving them to die in agony. Gas masks were issued to everyone in the country, but they weren’t so useful and many people died.


From Wikipedia:

In World War I both sides only had small pre-war stocks of grenades so as an interim measure, the troops often improvised their own, such as the Jam Tin Grenade. These were replaced when manufactured versions such as the Mills bomb, the first modern fragmentation grenade, became available to British front-line troops. The Mills bomb was an explosive-filled steel canister with a triggering pin and a distinctive deeply notched surface. This segmentation was thought to aid fragmentation and therefore increase the grenade`s deadliness...

Conspiracy Theories: From the Mind to the Media [The impressive 1857 rebellion by Indian soldiers against their British masters was largely started by a group of Muslim soldiers who claimed that that the grenades the Muslim and Hindu soldiers were using had leather made from pig and cow skin.]

...it was the bullet rather than grenade that needed to be chewed open prior to loading them in the muzzle guns of the period...

Musharraf Spilling the Beans—Why Now? zeemax # 76
[Yes no argument about this. Pak should have told US to eff off and we`ll see what`s in our best interests. He didn`t do that. That`s why he`s just a smalltime punk. No doubt.]

it`s easy to be an arnold shwartznegger interacting at chowk...at the first sign of american bombs all you mullahs would be hiding under your beds...even though i hate the bastard, he did the only sensible thing he could to save not only his ass but our collective asses too...

zeemax...you are the champion macaca warrior...just do that...and don`t think you have graduated to fight like a man...keep on trying...maybe in a thousand years...

A cliché from Nawab Din’s Story kitna badnaseeb tha Zafar, waqt-e-marg do ghaz jageh na mili apne ku-e-yaar mein

... i wonder why people indulge into things they know othing about...and are lazy enough not to research...

the correct verse is:

kitna hai bud naseeb Zafar dafn ke liye
do gaz zameen bhi na mili ku-e-yar meiN

..as dotty mentioned, states are afraid of setting a new precedence that can come back to haunt them later...therefore, the old man remains in the limbo he has been for so many years...sad but true.

A Nomad Among the Bedouins ...nice story ...i believe arabs call the camel...``ship of the desert``...

Saving Pakistan with the Constitution #43 by salim chauhan.

[Restoring the `73 Constitution a la carte would be to go back to a gerrymandered past that did not work then, will not work now, and will, khuda na khwasta, guarantee the eventual breakup of Pakistan. May common sense and decency prevail in Pakistan.]

...crocodile tears?...no one has forgotten your promise to break-up pakistan or die trying...

How to Kill the Dead Again ...five out of seventeen or nearly 30% of all interacts so far are by ballu khan who is neither a jew nor an irani...what gives...

The Death of a Nawab ...crocodile tears from some indians,gloatings from others...confused signals from a flip-flop who wants pakistan dismantled for the final solution and someone talking about bugti`s compassion for minorities...all this makes for a fascinating read into one of the most complex political characters of pakistan, who spoke of democracy yet disallowed discent, who talked of progress for baloch people but disallowed schools in his area,in reality he was simply a tribal chieftain who was seen as a heroic figure by the romantics but was a treacherous tyrant who sold out the baloch people to the centre in the 70s...as for as pak army is concerned...their days are numbered too...

Chowk is 9 Today reg: #278
...while chowk regulators allow the message to embellish FP they are known to kill mesengers...the earliest killing took place at #66...;)

Chowk is 9 Today [But, Farzana must be complemented profusely for bringing discipline to Chowk.]- zeemax.

...we can see the discipline in zeemax` writings on chowk...it also shows the idealism of chowk when he says...and i paraphrase...

1.he shoots to kill
2.he eats with kings and princes
3.he knows preferred flavous of rubber by 18 year olds for BJ
4.he knows many other secrets, he can`t discuss
5.he wakes up and apologises for his imaginary expertise

ps: i am not sure if farzana versey is very comfortable with zeemax` ``unflinching loyalty``...she must be squirming in her seat wherever she may be...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHOWK....but cut out the delusion...websites do not have enemies but the editors do...;)

Encounter with a Fighter [Kafir hai tau aafaaq mein gum hai
Mu`min hai tau gum hain usmein aafaaq! (hope i got it right!)] -naqshbandi.

...no you didn`t...and you are praising a first generation brahmin...shame on you... ;)

Encounter with a Fighter ballukhan is as usual absolutely right...when he states...``For me a Hero would be the leader who can provide employment to his people, who can prevent pain and disease to his people, who can provide civil amneties, who can govern well , who allows freedom of expression and encourages creative self fulfilment........``;)

...as long as he remeberes ahsaan jafri and his pleadings to the leaders...
