"The bearded goat look is so OUT!"


Bj hopefully the bihari bakra look is still in .....or at least in benazirs ageless mind.

While Mr. Paracha practices his debating skills with teenage business school students, I thought the following 2 pieces of news (from Dawn) would interest middle class confused chowkies:

SWAT, Nov 8: Armed militants captured more government installations in Swat on Thursday and announced a punishment of 15 lashes for anyone not offering prayers in Matta tehsil.
Sources said the militants took over a police post on the Shangla hills, some 35km north of Mingora.
In Charbagh, Maulana Fazlullah’s supporters took over the Pakistan-Austria Training Institute for Hotel Management. The centre was established with the financial assistance of Austria in 2003 at a cost Rs150 million. It is the only training facility in the country for hotel management and tourism in the private sector.
In Khwazakhel area, militants set on fire the police station.
A tense calm prevailed with military helicopters hovering over the area. Security forces were consolidating their positions in and around Mingora amid reports that an operation was likely.
A handout issued in Peshawar said the overall situation in Swat was under control and no untoward incident had been reported over ‘the past 48 hours’. Paramilitary forces were on high alert and educational institutions remained open.


KARACHI, Nov 8: In four trading days of the current week on the Karachi Stock Exchange, foreign investors withdrew around $185 million from equity and $50 million from government bonds.
From Monday to Thursday, market capitalisation of insurance and banking sectors declined by 6.5 per cent and 5.2 per cent, respectively.
Figures of possible outflow during the four trading days of mayhem at the market, prompted by political events, varied from analyst to analyst, but most of them thought that it could hardly have been below $160 million.
Since the aggregate foreign portfolio investment stands at $850 million (excluding those in GDRs), the outflow was a substantial 20 per cent of the overseas equity investment, traders said.
Overall, the KSE-100 index shed 491 points during the week. Volatility on Thursday, like the day earlier, was exceptionally high with the index oscillating 311 points between the low and high for the day.
In the absence of credible real-time news about the market from an independent source due to the blackout of private television channels, most healthy and wealthy investors behaved like blind men in a dark room. They had solely to rely on their stockbroker picking up the phone in order to know what the value of scrip at the time was. Until the prayers of the investors were answered and the broker was free to attend to the call, the share may have dived by several rupees leaving trail of losses in its wake.

And Zeemax,

The bearded goat look is so OUT!

Anyone from the Pindi and Islamabad area?

We need to know what is going on there and

also in Lahore at the moment.

Ras

Zeemax,

Beauty is ageless!

I read this piece, and yes it is well written, prickly and all those good things. Granted, everyone's got some payoff, some deal. But no one has been able to explain why lawyers and journalists are risking their physical safety, livlihoods and reputations in the street, day after day. Can we get some info please?

Re: # 41

but zeemax is not a leftist...?

"Sindhi , punjabis are no match for MQM brain" ...hate to talk in stereotypes but the pushtoons are the only ones kicking ass in Pakistan at this point, while everyone else struggles to clutch at straws. Talking in stereotypes its safe to say brains have little to do with it :)
Unfortunately for us all the only intelligent strategist in pakistan today seeems to be the wicked witch Osama. Everyone else has made critical mistakes, maybe irreperable. I dont see much for anyone to gloat about.

Skeptical:

I liked reading through the article just for the style. It seemed that a lot of ideas were borrowed from our own Hamid. But that is life ... you grow on the shoulder of giants.

You make an excellent point. I do not know the author, but know the type you are talking about quite well ... upper-middle class background, excellent English, casanova for leftist women, left-wing rhetoric, financed in life by relatives and/or crumbs thrown by the rich and/or NGO type organizations, and above all condescending as hell and able to criticize everything outside their own selves. But we need their kind ... just as we need the Indian actors Jeetendra and Govinda.

[It proves Sindhi , punjabis are no match for MQM brain, iit is not race comment it is facts.]

MQM having brains? If you are the proof of a mohajir brain, then only Allah can save Pakistan.
