Vanaja: A Movie That Moves Your Heart Ras,

Thanks for the review.

I will try to see it in LA if it makes it's way here.

Alcohol Use and Abuse masadi yaar,

You are really wasting your time on chowk.

Most of us on chowk are bullshitters who don't give a fuk one way or another, but like to argue for the sake of argument.

You have well reasoned arguments, mostly. But you fall for the trolls easily and get riled up and lose track. I think you are just raising your overall anger and bloodpressure up here...

my 2 cents.

The Melting Pot Kaal-

you said:

"However interesting the discussion over inter-racial relationships is, what is more pungent is the missing of Arbi-Paki relationship. Pakistanis have been living in their Ummah Lands for at least 3 decades, but it is rare (impossible is more like it) to see any, e.g., Saudi-Pakistani couples (65 year old sheikh marrying 12 year girls don’t count). Why that might be the case? "

There are 2 very simple reasons for it. The saudi arabs are very race oriented (i.e. racist), and do not marry outside thier race, and especially not with the brown muslims...who they often do not consider to be real muslims.

Actually that was only one reason :)

The Melting Pot Ejaz...

"my idea of how God manifests himself (and you can all laugh at this one) is that he is the homeless guy on a cold winter's night on skid row, with nothing to his name but the jacket on his back"


beautiful.


Are you in LA? The mention to Skid Row got me wondering.

The Melting Pot periphery is important kulleee jee, it defines an extended family and community.

Unfortunately, most often, it is not supportive, and one has to sever ties with it to live the life they want.

Dillu Ram Kausari: The Hindu Poet who Loved The Prophet mohar, my gentle hindu friend with violent tendencies,

you are wrong about Kaal.

Please wander on to UP, there is a discussion going on about the Hindu agony...3 parts so far. Kaal is featured on part 3.

Dillu Ram Kausari: The Hindu Poet who Loved The Prophet abu,

and naqsh thought you wouldn't notice.

See that's my beef with Naqsh. This whole sunni shia bs. I cannot accept one as a sufi, who is unaccepting at that level. Actually naqsh is at a deeper division with the brelvi stuff.

Truly sad.

But then again, it doesn't matter at all what I think, for I am not his father superior in the sufi order ;)

A Sad Day for Pakistan ooh ooh...my 2 cents please, if I may?

Masadi is not a basket case as so many would like to paint him. His argument is usually brilliant. His fault lies in taking things too seriously. He does not realize that you cannot convert a beleiver, or one who is oblivious.

He needs to laugh a little.

But the rest of his commentary is really wonderful. One needs to step back and see what he is saying. See it. The man speaketh mostly truths.

A Sad Day for Pakistan Wow. I just realized that I may be the only person on chowk who likes all the lovely chowkies. Including the ugly lovelys.

Well Manto being the sole exception to the above...but other than that...

now VRV and tahmed chacha are arguing...masadi and tahmad are arguing...what happened to "can't we all just get along?" NO BJ, that wasn't Gandhi. It was Rodney King.

Dillu Ram Kausari: The Hindu Poet who Loved The Prophet Kaal bhai,

Hold on bro, I am almost there...I do need a new UP thread as I have used up my quote of 3.

You my friend have continued to portray me in a negative light, as a deceiver, where I have done no such thing. Perhaps one day you will be honest in your portrayal of me. But no matter, I can empathise with you.

BTW, I do require your feedback on the hindu agony thread I opened on UP. The PART 1 thread may be too humorous and low brow for your tastes, but I am interested in your opinion on the PART 2 of the hindu agony threads.

Talk soon.

Dillu Ram Kausari: The Hindu Poet who Loved The Prophet Kaal...hmmm....dunno if Kaal enjoyed it as much as it boiled his blood.

I ask all to pay attention to Kaal, for he deserves it.

This gentle soul is hurt and seeking a healing he cannot find.

I ask all to withhold judgement against Kaal, for I have contemplated on this matter, and have an insight that may or may not be useful.

Naqsh. Finally, a good post from you :)

Confronting Ahmadinejad in U.S. arjun3,

you are right to point out this "thaali kay baingan" type behavior. I hope all of us can remain completely biased and narrow minded like yourself instead of this bullshit "oh but look at the facts please".

On a secondary note, it is sad that the ISlamofascists have no fashion sense. Unlike the SS fascists, who took the fashion world by storm, the ISlamofasicists have no apparent taste in attire.

Confronting Ahmadinejad in U.S. This "petty and cruel" crap is just same old same zionist propaganda.


Here is the transcript from what really transpired.

Bollinger: Ahmad, you are one pretty and cool dictator.

Ahmad: Thank you, you are not bad looking yourself, although you are president of coloumbia, a much smaller country.

Bollinger: Say, could we get hitched in Iran? I mean, I heard that it is difficult for homosexuals to get hitched over there?

Ahmad: Who told you that? We have no such issue with homosexuals.
