The Snow Will Melt

Tahir,

I think it would be appropriate to post the poem here in the interacts as well. As a matter of fact it should have been a part of the article.

Re: # 22

Dear Skeptical,

Thanks for the kind words and the free advice. I hope that sensible readers will drive the devils away from this site. I only have two hands you know!

Peace.

Re: # 23
I agree.....

This is no overrated conspiracy theory....
There is a lot of reality in it.....

Re: # 22

Sure there is a conspiracy behind the disappearance of this aircraft. What turned this conspiracy into an act of criminality is the fact that someone sued PIA for 100s of millions of rupees for negligence. Since, government (read fouj) controls everything in the country, from God to cricket, a lawsuit such as this would have set a bad precident. The riff riff would have found power to hold government accountable for its negligence and incompetence. For a cruppt, pro-western, oppressive ruling elite this is a nightmare. In a country where whole judiciary is fired at whim, it is just child play to "mitti pao" on such incidences where a piddley little Fokker goes down.

Dear Tahir

You dont have to answer all those stupid comments.....
People who dont know anything are making fun of you...
The truth is that it was a very moving piece...
As I have told you earlier I have worked in Norhtern Areas for a long time....
There it was an established theory that we accidently shot our own plane....
And then the gravity of this mistake had to be kept hidden....
For all those who think that this is a "conspiracy" theory like 9/11 being orchesterd by USA itself, or BB's death by Mr Zardari....
Think again.....
Mr Tahir has a point here and it is very convincing....
Please visit northeren areas and listen....
You would be surprised.....

Dear Ras Sahib(RAS: short for what name?),

My father went one step further; he addressed those he loved as Qiblah-o-Ka'ba! Even the magnetic north is not stationary; they say it moves!

I did leave a reply at: http://www.chowk.com/interacts/13221

Again, you've been there with me since the year of our (?) lord 2000. Thanks for the flowers.

My interacts OTOH are what (not entertaining)? Please complete your sentence to obtain ten out of ten.

Huzoor, hamay dar hay kay nechay say dekhney walay kahiN hamaray andar jhaNkna mat shuru' kar daiN!

Keep smiling.

Re: # 17

Thanks very much for understanding the subtlties of what is said between the lines! Most have focussed on entirely different things!

Good men must never feel afraid. As for the poor abusive interactor, we need more gentle-men to come forward to clean up the mess that InterAct has become?

Re: # 14 & 15

Dear Yours Truly,

I remember you from Chaanga Maanga days!

The readers have already written part-2 of this article; I had to edit many things since one cannot write everything in a single article.

As for the vanished widow, the magicians started with making rabbits vanish in metal helmets, now whole populations can meet the same fate.

Billy was in a hurry to head back to Karachi after completing his Northern Area Hours; God had other plans.

Thanks and peace to you.

Tahir Qibla,

Aap kay niche aur bhi bahut saray likhnay waalay moujood hain.

I like your writing style period. Very entertaining!

Your interacts OTOH.....

Tahir,

very interesting piece.

I enjoyed all the subtle connections.

I am also surprised at the tone of the interaction with "how stupid are you? " from one of the interactors...

urstruly,

when are you going to write a new piece?

Hopefully something less mullah oriented and more general life oriented...

I ahve shopped at Billy's supermarket in Karachi, one that was at the cusp of Akhtar colony and perhaps phase 5 of Aktar colony. I also remember meeting "the owner" since he was an acquaintance of my uncle. But now I cannot put face on the name, and didn't even know that he was one of the crash victims. This is indeed a small world.

I remeber that incident. One of the reasons the plane could not be located was that PIA violated the international aviation standard regarding the planes that fly over snow capped frozen zones. One of the requirements of this standard is that the rudder, fuselage, and wings all must have bright orange marking and spots on the top surface, so that if plane crashes in the snow zone, it could be located. If memory serves me right, one of the widow of the crash victims sued PIA for violating this standard, for millions of rupees. The PIA and its insurance company took the position that since remains of the plane were not found, therefore, there is a reasonable doubt that crash may not have happened. The kicking and screaming widow refused to accept the standard 100k compensation and word has it that she was made to disappear by pakistani intelkligence agencies.

Re: # 11

What do you think they wish you to know through those lovely entertaining movies? The ideas are floated years in advance to 'prepare' the sheeple (people who are sheep-like)!

Dude?! I know only doodh. Whatever happened to sir, mister, janab, huzoor etc.?

Peace (om shanti om; now is'nt that the name of a movie?)

Re: # 10

You said:
In any case, just how stupid are you?

I think you are pretty indicative of the abysmal standards of PIA if you had any position of responsibility in it.

I say:

What school did you go to? Is this the way you've been taught to address those who make you want to read a line or two? Let's see you become a writer Fuz Air!

And what kind of responsibility do you have in life? Not flying spy missions over us I hope?

Peace

It was impossible to believe that none of the spy satellites recorded the accident or that satellite photos were unavailable to help locate the survivors.


dude..you've been watching too many movies..or too many DVDs of 24.
