One Day At a Time tempu :
well thought out article. aik sahib aie aur kissi sey poocha `masjid kidhar hai `? doosrae aadmee ney jewab diya ... aap shia hain k sunni konsi masjid mein jaana pasand karein gaien. jub pehley shakhs ney jawab mein arz kiya koi see bhi, tau phir doosrae ney poocha ` tau yeh baatein, k aap borre hain ya memon ?` by this time asr kii namaz ka waqt jaata raha .

`Sar peetney walla icon`

P.S. I read one of yr interracts, where you were replying [to i forget who] on your ethics of posting ... `aisee k kissi k agae sharminda na hona parey kiya likha `

tempu you have always been Da Man :)

Ramzaan Mubarak..... lamha lamha ;) pul pul

Dear Farzana :
You are absaloutely correct, i did leave b/c there was no ettiquetes in interracting left here .I always feel one should read their posts before submission and keep in mind if the person they are posting to, would be standing face to face to them, would they be able to utter such garbage? Time is a scarce commodity, more for some than others .... time to re-exit ??? perhaps .........

lots of love,

Qat`l Wajab :


Yeh Qissa Aam Hai ,
Pyaaz pey jub Shabaab hai,

Churhee haal sey be_haal hai,
Neeyat murghee kii bhii kharab hai,

Tuu kar yeh ab qissa mukhtasir,
Gajar Mooley pey kar nazar,

Ab kitchen meiN na dekh idhar udhar,
Baat na merii kar darguzar,

Khai ga tou `gar vegtebles,
Rahey ga tawana umr bhar ,

Sameer jee bus kareiN aik karam,
Chowk pey likhna kareiN na kumm :)))))

Various Poems Dearest Aamir :

What a great blend from the wide spectrum of `feelings` .....

Don`t laugh, but Home (How To Make One) reminded me of Martha Stewart .... lol ....

Loved simplicity, and dreams ....
Dreams took me down memory lane ..... when my toddler who was a very picky eater then, would leave his ` last niwalla ` i would say to him .... ` yeh becharra roi`eye ga `.... yes vegetables have feelings :)


You`ll make a great tabeeb !!

Lots of love ,

The Lonely Road Dear Farzana,

This is a phenomenal piece! read it.. re-read it and plan to a few more times.Please keep writing such moving pieces.. it did stir the soul.

Lots of love,

DIL’s Caravan of Hope Dr.Ansari,

I would advice you to refer such pts. [who refuse to be examined by a male Dr.] to a female practioner, or if that is not possible, at least have a female nurse in the room.It is after all ethical practice to do so.

Removed From Reality Tahmed # 24

[[madani #3 I am beginning to fear that you actually mean what you write. Please tell me that I am wrong and what you write is much an act as how you write it]



I think the act is worth an applause.He would do well taking over ``Itefaq nama `` from the friday times.In any case where else could Mr.Sethi find such talent ??

Abr ka Tukra Rehan :

Generally if I dont like a piece,I tend to keep quiet, rather than go ballistic over the ordeal of reading it.

All I will say,I have enjoyed your previous finer pieces more ! You are capable of much better writing!Alternatively I may have missed the entire pulse of this article!

The Mahatma’s Progeny Dear Chowk Editors,

Please wake up and screen some of your posts.This boree bazaar language is making me gag !

Farzana ... Kudos to you, for remaining both eloquent and elegant amidst this. Dont how you do it, except that you are one heck of a strong and polite lady, and I do have a great deal of admiration both for your work and your personality.

take care,

love
