Sultan Mints Great stuff. Typical NFP if I may say. All over the place, wild, rude and at the same time so very there. Love the way he takes `serious` issues and parody`s the fcuk out of them or should I say parodys the way they are talked about. xcellent stuff Paracha man.

Charity O I thought it was pretty good, edge. Temprol shib/sahiba, Ive been reading your past stuff and let me tell you much of it was excellent. I`ll keep an eye out for you next time.

Maelstrom Amrita though no major fan of yours but must say this is your best that I have so far seen chowk. Keep up the tempo.

Brou’ha ha on “The Da Vinci Code” The Di Vinci Code is like a joke. And really wonder why we are making such a noise about it? It is just good, imaginative fiction that has bothered the Church. So I wonder how many of us go to a church to actually defend it or blast it?

Oh So Vicious Nothing to write home about because intro sounded more interesting. It just gets lost in between and sound like whining just.

Gabriel’s Bike Well keeping telling that dog to keep whispering :)

Okay..another thing, your story ``The facade`` fro Psychemanica and ``God couple``
from Graffiti Christ:II seems to be linked to this one. Is that so....?

And another thing about your grandfather paradox university hint, waas master ching-fu wanting to send mukhtar back to kill the prophet...

Gabriel’s Bike Okay after two more glances this is what i figured out...

As I said already ``Sector 687`` and ``Sector 969`` and then again ``Sector 996`` all amount to 786 which to muslims mean Bismillah and 666 which of course is number of beast in Christian faith.
Then...
``Police State. Yes, Police State, he thought. He had read this expression somewhere. Where? And why was he usually cautioned by his parents about its usage? He asked, but was never told. Just to be be careful. The Philosopher Kings don’t appreciate such old-hat, worn out nonsense.
Thus Mukhrar did wonder: Was a Police State something bad. Bad enough to make the Philosopher Kings think that their ways embodied this badness? Or at least a part of it?``

Maybe here writer trying to warn of logic`s dictatorial and elitist nature.

``alien called Merlin by the ancients experiencing time backwards and helping build the Star Blocks of Sector 996 in West Timberlands. Star Blocks were once called Stonehenge by the ancients. ``

According to Stonehenge legend it was believed that magician Merlin of King Arthur fame had helped build Stonehenge blocks.


``aliens helped ancient prophets like one called Muhammad to ascent to giant sky stations which were thought be and curiously called “heaven,” returning before a glass knocked over had spilt its contents.``

I think this glass content taken from a hadith of prophet (PBUH).

``bent-gravitational labs around Sector 51 in Plot-Dust.``

Ofcourse, this fame Area 51 in Arizona.

``at the Grandfather Paradox University of Rational Time Travel Theories & Possibilities, to spend some time talking to his son.``

Isn`t this paradox about travel back in time and killing ones grandfather?

`` Master Ching-Fu wouldn’t write a Caution Thesis on Mukhtar for the Sector Philosophy Vanguards. ``

A take on things like Stalin police and Patriot Act. The logic of dictatorship.

````There is no truth. This statement at the very first glance is self-contradictory. It propounds that there is no truth. But for this to be true, the doctrine itself would have to be false. Therefore the doctrine is claiming simultaneously that there is no truth, while at the same time that it, itself, is true. How’s this for a belief?” ````

Meaning having no belief is best belief??

``“Yes … exactly seven hundred & eighty six times before. And you’ll keep coming back until the cycle is broken.”
“What happens to us …angels …when the cycle is broken?” Asked Mukhtar.
There was no reply. Mukhtar asked again: “What happens to me when the cycle is broken?”
“You …you all … whom we’ve code named angels …you become the philosopher kings.” Said the voice. “And then you try to rid what we have sown … and if you succeed, the game starts all over again.”
“But this has happened over and over again. You know the Philosopher Kings will succeed, like they have seven hundred & eighty-six times before …”
The voice inturruptd: “But the Philosopher Kings have only done so six hundered & sixty six times only.” ``

Again 786 vs 666.

And the ending is it about Lucifar`s revenge against gabrial? This is all I got maybe I am wrong but gist of much of this I think is what I wrote.

Gabriel’s Bike ``Sector 678`` [786] ``Sector 696`` [666] and on and on. As is apparent the whole story`s about age old devil vs god. And nicely done with science fiction themes and biblical concept of war in heaven in which satan and his allies are defeated by gabrial`s army and expelled. And so much more here which I have to read again for. Nice work.

The Criminal as Victim Excellent article. Total in agreemant with the writer and those who are opposing this view are nothing but deluded fools.

An Iranian Exile in Sambhalpur Harish Gee, any plans to turn these essays into a book someday? I think its good idea and sure it has cross your mind.

At the Inauguration of Hard Rock Café: Kabul I think Paracha`s obbsession with latarofying and lambasting multinationals, capitalism, mullahism,consumerism and what not would have become stale if everybody else was doing it too, but since he is still the only Pakistani writer charging about it I don`t see why he should just stop. What else is there for a man like him to use his aggro style of humor in.

At the Inauguration of Hard Rock Café: Kabul This a unique way to look at things as they stand in `new afghanistan.` Yea, why not make new Rambo film in Kashmir? Let`s have same kinda piece on Iraq and Kashmir now.

Manto Strikes Youre on a roll. great trilogy.

Intimacies Remapped bucaphelus, I think we need to first understand the contemporary situation there before knowing or getting into the 1000 years history of it.

South Asia’s Ride On The Video Tiger It all sounds so promising and could have been but wont last the way many think it will. Its like American TV boom in seventies.

The Holy Mind Blow wasif2: Then I guess you must really really hate him? Beware NFP, a chowk man wants your head!!!!!!!!!!!
