Rear End Hamdani,

:-))


Bulleya,

Bangalore as a city is more of hype. The only thing I like abt Bangalore is its climate.

The cows that roam the roads and streets are Jersey cows (an imported variety; I never know why there are only Jersey cows but now desi cows on the streets of Bangalore).

Even John Keryy carried away by the name of Bangalore and spoke something abt the American cities mathcing Banglore in connectivity (sic). Lol.

The next city by fame is Hyderabad. Ppl can see the diff btw hype and another dimension of typical Indian chaos there.

These Augean stables must be cleared sooner than later.

The Good One:


The Bad one: Jaywalking is the common malaise in India. This video was watched by lakhs of ppl by now. Dont get scared. That`s common in India.

Re: # 42

Sadly one cannot appreciate your as usual demented tone. Thanks for appreciating.

HP sain,

(I have heard is that Mush baba will be gone in early July. )

We have been hearing that since Oct 12,1999. The truth is Mush isn`t going anywhere, I think he is going to last longer than Zia or Ayub.

Regards

The ultimate Mulla-Military Ittehad:




The people who have been hoping/believing Jamia Hafsa is a `drama` enacted by musharraf for whatever reasons should now stand suitably corrected.

Echo,

Btw, the sina ba sina story I have heard is that Mush baba will be gone in early July. Provincial governments may go right after the budget. NWFP followed by Sindh.

Echo,

Why is it necessary for the US presidential hopefuls to say what you want them to say? None of them is so idiot to publicly call for mush`s dismissal. Saying that Mush should be supported is not an endorsement of Mush.

Interestingly enough, every US economist whines that there is trade dificit viz a viz China, however, they do not connect these dots with those that US borrows the same amount of money on monthly basis


it`s called symbiosis, a concept hard to understand for people for whom 72 virgins is the ultimate goal...

The US exports paper to china(and india) and china(and india) export real goods to the US...perfect balance...

Tell me that India has no poverty


has anyone claimed that? OTOH, the facts clearly indicate that poverty is on the decline as India integrates with the global economy...you do understand the concept of the word decline, don`t you? It`s like what happened to the standards of the paki peon factory when they hired you...

Urstruly writes <<< This seems like a very interesting point. Could you please further elaborate on this. As a layman I do understand that in an equation between US and any other country the net flow of wealth is always directed towards US >>>

There are quite comprehensive trade reports with REAL data, unlike Hamid`s BS, published by Oxfam. Check the section of their publications, they are available for free to download...

Hamid writes <<< ...... i don`t have the time to educate a fool like you but tata steel, reliance industries and bharat forge are not american companies.... >>>

Neither are they products of Indian integration into the US dominated economy, nor are they predominantly responsible for the increase in Indian exports to the US. If they are please provide your sources. The fact remains that even though some ``ghetto lords`` might get rich fleecing their nation, the vast majority of Indians, over 86% by conservative (and the World Bank is quite conservative in its estimates) languish in poverty. You and your idiot friend Arjun cannot counter the facts so you respond with sloganeering and asking me to read this and check that, come on fools, counter the facts. Tell me that India has no poverty, that its rise in GDP is concomitantly (didn`t use the word correlation because your MIT graduate doesn`t know how to spell it leave alone understanding what it means) reducing poverty in leaps and bounds. IT is NOT, the facts speak for themselves, and you, vile fool are idiotic to believe otherwise...
