My Summer of ’69

good pulp-fiction...but somewhat innocently written. in india, currently son of a dead BJP stalwart is under investigation becuase his buddy ODed on an injected drug..so reality is far less innocent. (some direct injection of adrenalin in heart of an ODing DSPs daughter would have been better)..i have not read the interacts, but cummon, charas is the cheapest and most easily available anywhere on indian subcontinent..it used to be a mere couple of ruppes in 80`s to give serious muchies to 4 large adults for the whole nights...and whats with mobile phones and KFC in `69?

Nahin Yaar Delhi wala. Moi, I am not manto at all... I am not Ahmedi. People consider me just a non-practising muslim. And I consider myself a ``spiritual but not religious`` type of a person.

Re: # 59
Charlie Et Tu Manto......(scratching my beard.....).

I thought that you were from Punjab and had a lastname of Cheema. Are you Ahmedi then????

Ama yaar,

Get this through your head – once and for all! I have NEVER obsessed over you!

And also, if I may say so – you need to stop seeing Ozer under every bed!

Ozer is gone – like the wind! (But not like the gas!)

Alas, your guilt at precipitating his departure from these sad green pastures with your heartless and cruel comments at long last comes back to haunt you!

It comes back to haunt you – like Ceasar’s ghost!

And you squirm – and you jump at every shadow!

“Is that you, Ozer?!!”

To no avail!

Let me add one more straw to that mounting pile that you carry on your back!

Ozer may be gone but in all likelihood – he is still watching!

Watching and enjoying this discomfiture!

Watching YOU!

And sometime, when you least expect it – he will jump up and say…..

BOO!!!

Manto = Charlie or Charlie = Ahmad or Ahmad=Manto

Nice to meet you :)

Re: # 54

You don`t need to register a new nick only to write a harmless post like this one.

Manto says somewhere: ``I do not want to create a disturbance in people`s thought and feelings. Who am I to undress the society and its culture which itself is naked? I make no attempts to clothe it. That`s not my job, it`s the tailor`s!``

And then many people wanted to send Manto Sahib in prison because of his ``harsh tone`` and ``dirty mentality``. :)

Re: # 56
Mehrbani bjk...for the comment...indeed its fiction...one of the more outrageous things things that I submitted three or four weeks ago was rejected by chowk guys...and it was neither about homosexuality, sex, pot nor homicide...it wasn`t even fiction...that was genuine analysis that could indeed have been highly offensive to some of the readers...but honest opinion it was and nothing more...hopefully I`d be able to get the content published even if would have to use symbolism...but that would take the sting out of it...perhaps chowk guys are happy if I keep on writing ``A Tale of two Dinners`` kind of satires...no place for serious stuff...tsk tsk...

HP:

{While talking in front of the bakery, we realized that we share a passion for hashish.}

Are you referring to Jamshed Bakery in nursery?

Ama yaar,

(I am reasonably sure this is indeed fiction.)

Your writing style is okay – but the plot for the current story is what keeps the interest – by delving into taboo subjects while not making a big deal about them and throwing in a whole bunch of provocative (sometimes inflammatory) sentences along the way. (But it is difficult to use this trick more than a couple of times.) Some of the details in describing the encounter with the police are less than credible and could have been fixed up to improve the ending. If I were writing it, I would have withheld the part about the ladies of the night and sprung it in some different manner right at the end!

Keep writing! (And pay no attention to the ramblings of old H₂.)

Nadia Zehra, I am sorry about chowk banning your ID and in the process suppressing your older interacts which had nothing to do with whatever was the perceived offense. I think it is highly dictatorial!

......... apparently things have gone from bad to worse in pakistan since the seventies when you could buy the best chitrali at your neighborhood cigarette khoka anywhere in lahore or pindi/islamabad ........ now you have to drive all the way to peshawar ! ........ unbelievable ! ....... in my time at uet you could buy it from pehalwan`s fruit shop right in front of D hall or, at the most, walk over to copper store and buy it at the pan shop next to chaman hotel or, on the other side, walk across gt road and buy it from the halwai who would add it to your khata in his register .......... and if you really wanted to have a party, you could get a crew of bhangis from ghoray shah to come over to the hostel and brew the best bhang right there on the spot ............. in pindi you could buy it from the pathans who manned the tals in koila center in saddar or, for that matter, any pathan walking down the street .........

.......now look what the world has come to !............ i think we have to thank that mardood zia for this sad state of affairs ........ not only did he destroy democracy and all that, he also killed free trade and the joy it brought to the citizens of pakistan ........ may his remaining bones rot in hell !

Surprised,,,,,,im. where the filter like stuff of CHOWK had gone,
1st,, an over exaggerated, beyond from reality, obscene, article.
Then intract`` like # 53,,,,,,,
it sounds like all the so called UETeans, have the same tone and mentality.

Chal, Good hay keh tu apun ko abhi nahin bhoola... :)

*One of Pakistanis turned red (mashriqiat say) while telling me that his class mate has asked him the question: ``voulez vous coucher avec moi? ``... Kissi bachi nay tujh say yeh sawal poocha?

If catharsis was the reason behind this article then an ilog would have been enough.....a tip for the Chowk editors......you dont have to publish everything coming your way.....

Is ISI or whatever the Secuirty deptt in Pakistan is called reading this stuff?
