A Suitable Boy nyda: this was quite funny. heh! but i personally dont think there`s anything wrong with you rejecting a proposal on the basis of you not liking him physically. afterall its your entire life that you hopefully plan to spend with this guy. but one thing is for sure, dont ever let this `has to be a hunk and nothing less` factor over ride everything else. its as basic as one can get. without making this sound like a lecture...im sure you know there are other more important things you need to consider.

what i do hoewever detest is the fact that the prospects` mother/father/sister/bhabi/etc. get to reject/accept you as well. hell! larkey ki maan ko gora rang chahye. larkey ki behan ko lamba qad. larkey key abba ko parhi lakhi. and finally the larka comes in and says...next please!

Girlfriends sobia: loved reading this. made me go down memory lane of my share of good / bad friends. heh! learnt quite a bit from everyone though.

i like your writing style which is minus frills and all. you very simply describe how you feel about what.

How’s It Gonna Be sobia: absolutely love what youve written. the best thing i liked about it is the fact that its very true. when i read it, felt like de ja vu. aplicable to most of us. i think we can all relate to the article in one form or the other.

your description of events is wonderful.

chowkstaff: i honestly didnot like the edited version at all. the originally written, last paragraph is much better.

Hold Karain! Movie Bun Rahee Hai! rozaiba:

``Click! Click!
Hold karain! Movie ban rahee hai!``

haha!

the article is ironically as close to reality as possible. loved it!

Translucence ``Flint against flint
Grinding, rubbing
Creating the occasional spark
It seems like there maybe a fire
Maybe not…

Perhaps we’ll burn good``

very well said. hope to read more from you.

Promise Me last stanza is the best. waiting to read more from you.

temporal: yes finally heh!

maryam: thankyou

Urstruly: a bit juvenille for your taste i think : )

ZahraJ: i think its quite humanly impossible to avoid acting/reacting while one is observing. as it is to stay on the lookout for oneself all the time. however, taking ones time to absorb everything is a good experience. seems like i have all the time in the world ;)

ferozk: thankyou. hoping to see you (and everyone else) soon!

Azure: if PTC can sanction selling K2 and the likes, i`m sure this makes no difference to them heh!

ZahraJ: im playing on the backfoot :) not exactly my preffered style of playing a game but right now its working out...

sobia: i do like sheesha but one with grape flavour...and that day i think you guys were having cocktail. anyway..the only thing i cant stand is that it makes my eyes water like anything...

ijaz: because i honestly didnot like it there heh! my idea of a room being simple is quite different to where i was. it literally was just an empty room and i was to get it furnished and all. anyway never mentioned it to that detail `coz it would have diverted the focus.

spawnisalive: err...emm...okie heh!

learner: thankyou. your first few lines precisely describe what i was trying to convey.

Roll it up Maryam: this is an unconventional piece. really liked it!

emm...i`d almost forgotten about this one. wrote it ages ago.

rozaiba: naah! not that `must` about it all ;)
t: is this sher from a ghazal by abida parveen. was listening to it on my way to work heh

Wonder Omer Fayyaz:

very well said. reminded of `sophie`s world`. hope to read more from you.

Whispers of A Long Silence Antonia Navarro:

you`ve chosen an interesting topic to write on. your presentation is a bit confusing though.

Schizophrenic arunima:

i really enjoyed the way you draw attention to little details. working in a call centre can be quite mentally exhausting (know by some friends` experience). in a lot of ways the characters came accross as real to me.

The Drive beautifully sad
