  • Has Chowk become a Trojan Horse? Here's why it's such a negative place:
  • where are Augustine, Tazeen, Optimistic_Aadil,Shobig, Goonga, Ayesha, Khakiflash, Sarah, Cigar, Diarox, and many more....???
  • Moreen, WTF?
  • Sorry Moreen, no can do
  • the longing (a short story)
  • the attack of angry mediocrity
  • the death of optimism?
  • "thinkingstorm" is retired for a while

There was a time when the iLog section was rich with diversity...I remember that time, about 8 months ago.

It may be just me, but I only see these iLogs once in a blue moon. Pray tell me fellow iLoggers, where are you?

We need the diversity, we need your voices here too. Yes sometimes the place gets loud and arguments break out, I myself have been guilty of teaching a few miscreants some fine lessons, but if it is at the cost of losing your voices, then I really do regret bringing noise here.

So the party's on, please bring yourselves :)

Tazeen, I realy like your posts. I find your posts sometimes from my little dolly cousin and somtimes I think of you as my grandmother but I like your all posts are real fun. In fact your all posts are lively thoughts and
I think comments are also fun sometimes.

I do post ... but the comments are no fun

Khakiflash, Optimistic, Goonga,

I know you guys are around and posting once in a while, but let's build it up a bit, perhaps even more than we had it here before.

ZK ji :)

When will we see your iLogs? :)

بلاگاں وچوں بلاگ میراچوک آئیلاگ اے

...oops, sorry about the extra space left.

Now either it was just watching Nuri Nath or my new computer. 'Yeh right!'

Well I'm not the only one it seems. Lots of hits on TS's iLog about going to the cinema to 'participate' in Pak Punjabi films. Way to go; lets get the samosas:

‘and thinkingstorm, category5, category7, cyclone, typhoon, toofan ....where are they all?’

Ah the Power of the Storm System!

Sr Uragano was ‘busy’; I see he is returning to his original form.

Am not as intellectual as these smart iLoggers here but am thrilled to be introduced to gems such as Maula Jutt.

Kiya samhjhey Sonayo…dhak dhak dhak. LOL…have seen the movie thrice…

Keep 'em coming.

I'm here with the my sporadic posts. I visit here every single day but the absence of my co-ilogers like shobig, kashkin, bmk, Ayesha, Goonga and a few others has really been demotivating to post and interact like we did in the past.
Thanks for remembering us! Will try to post more frequently :-)

I, for one, am still here, Cyclone, visiting Chowk at least every single day - and have posted iLogs 3 times this month alone (on 3/4/6 Oct) with, hopefully more to come - as well as posting on Off-the-Wall. But your point is a valid one. Many of us too would like to see a rich diversity of bloggers and posters. Some of the other names you mentioned have also, I think, posted fairly recently but others seem indeed to have fallen away. But we really need a lot more new names as well. There are so many Chowkies registered as members (literally hundreds) yet only a relatively small handful post their thoughts and opinions at all. Thanks for chivvying us on, though.

Eklavya too.

For sure, Cycl, the more the better. We need poetic voices. Not those who want to shut down any creativity, with anger, stealth and constant disruption.

Lets hear the poets, from Karachi, I would love to hear them : ) And from anywhere else, I would also like to see what they are up to.
