Re: # 172 hamidm uncle, i have never heard this word `kulla` unless you are using it as `zanan-kullah` as in `ab-dullah`. my mother is from indian background and she passed on this term to me without any problems with the word (i wonder how can this word sound wahoosh to you). it describes a sitaution in which a man is too much in the women folks. either he has the bonafied gifts of nature or he seeks their company for some other reasons. by the way, there is a well proven trend that brothers of more than 4 girls usually evolve into something like a `zanan-kunna` even though they don`t necessarily become `zan-mureed`. has to do with nature.

for you, i don`t think you can become any of that by virtue of your daughters and wife. you need some hard core stuff for that. it`s too late for you. the best you can become is a `miyaan` and a `dadi`.

Re: # 164 echo:

I have exactly the same problem iwth this rasm-ul-khat. temporal sent me a nice link on ghalib but when i knew that it was in roman, saara maza khaak mein mil gaya.

it is like i can`t adore a beatiful eastern woman if she is wearing jeans and t-shirt. similarly, poetry`s beauty is in it`s native khat.

you didn`t specify how can we locate a channel in unplugged?

masaayeb aur thay, magar jee ka jaana,
ajab ik saaniha saa ho gaya hay...

sirhaanay Meer ke aahistah bolo,
abhi tuk rotay rotay so gaya hay.....

hamidm uncle,

please go ahead with your plans. we really lack `zanaan-kunnas` on chowk. and by the way, i was noticing the trend that more and more articles are comming from women, it`s something like `qehet-ur-rujaal` where men are only there only to bravo women writers.

once i was on my way from mareerh-hasan stop to chandni chowk in pindi, two bearded, god fearing gentlemen were talking ahead of me in the hiace wagon. one said, `janab, you know rasool-e-pak had said that one of hte signs of armagadon would be that men will be seen hanging on tall trees at the bottom of which will be seventy women each, viciously waiting for them to come down so that they can extinguish their lust`. `indeed, indeed`, the second god fearing man replied. then the two men said touba touba.

touba touba

echo:

nice to know that there are people here who have spared some of their likings for the language of their earlier generations. well, technically urdu might not be our 100% heritage but in terms or embodying the largest subset of our heritage, it doesn`t have a better compatitor. at least it is workable.

i sometimes also yearn for availability of an urdu portal on the internet. but it is the sluggishness of us as a nation that there is not a single quality solution out there. chowk has the resources and support to do something like this but probably its agenda is too obsessed with language of hte master. but tell me, has a group of people asked this from chowk seriously? from techonological point of view, it requires almost no work on their part.

i will keep looking for online space that can provide better access.

Re: # 157 teshah sahib,


please note that this place is not a toilet and shouldn`t be used for this purpose. i will suggest that you go to railway station of lahore for this need. i have heard that they have gone flush system now. rates were one rupayya the last time i went there.

Re: # 144 nt:

it was their help offer for me, not you. you owe me 100 Saudi Rayaal for this now. You can pay by PayPal.

i have read this embryo things before. you are probably not updated about it, this miracle has been excluded from the miracles of quran long ago when people found out that it was some pre-islamic heathen scholar who coined this theory and our mo just `acquired` it.

let me find the reference for you.

http://www.answering-islam.org.uk/Quran/Science/embryo.html

my personal thought is that this whole hike was created by bribing that poor canadaian scientist who after losing all hopes of making a fortune by just hardwork, sold his honesty in the hands of sheikhs of saudi arabia who are ever enthusaistic about finding so called `miracles` in quran.

echo and T:

if you try to open

http://www.malikjahanzeb.netfirms.com/poetry/SAKINAN.GIF

in a browser window, it opens

but it can`t link from iLog at chowk.

my latest suspition is that the website tries to open a pop-up and that messes things up.

echo and T:

you gotta help me in this, i had been breaking my head against the walls. this is what i was doing:

1 - setup a free web space account of a humble 25 mb somewhere
2 - put my stuff there
3 - succeeded in locating the file from the top address bar of the browser
4 - put my image as a link in my iLog
5 - there appreas a red cross instead of the image
6 - if i try 3 again, the file opens in the browser and after that, successfully opens in iLog too. but if i reopen my chowk window, i again can`t see the image.

can you guys tell me of a reliable website which can link from chowk no matter what?
