oh he's alive.

Ok so Bajra, how long have you felt this India-Pakistani crap?
I mean your belief that by drawing little diagrams and practicising kundalini-yoga you can perform better?

The psychiatrist can only treat you if you keep answering the questions, now come on. Speak.

Re: # 90

Meira, I do not mean to discourage you. I hope you become a successful writer. However, it is probably a good idea not to let that "published" writer bit go to that little head!

When it comes to "published" writers -- they come dime a dozen -- especially in this day of the internet and especially on this website. And as far as being an editor is concerned -- we are all well aware of the editorial quality here. I am sure that the chowk editors exercise the highest level of quality control possible (as long as it does not require actually reading stuff.)

But don't let me get in the way. If you are happy with your own piece and some dumbass accolades from a bunch of no-name interactors makes you feel like a real writer -- more power to you!

You are no less entitled to your fix than many of the other individuals here!

I'm not a new writer, BJ. I am a published Author, an Editor, and a bilingual speaker, at a European Site.

who are you? **** yaaawn, this is the most tiring and boring conversation i've had yet at chowk...so ok...continue...if you have to. I guess I'll have to be the one who sees you.

So how long have you been feeling this way? *wait, let me get my notebook titled Psykos, must put you in the right folder....perhaps you'll create an interesting side-character to some plot...

lets see what you got...jee bajra sahib, ....how many times have you fainted while....

Re: # 87

Look Meira, you need not blow your top simply because my honest opinions rub you the wrong way. Lord knows I try to be kind to new writers -- and I certainly wish you better luck next time.

Look at the bright side, though! Even with a crappy piece like this, your wages (I mean monetarily) are exactly the same which those would be had you hit it out of the ball park!

So, cheer up, dearie!

that was, *my piece.

معرآج

the only aimless thing that happened near* it yet, was you.

At one point, you are saying you can't stand reading by piece.
At another, you are comparing me to THE psychiatrist on the team.

You really believe, after reading this piece, that I can treat you better, J?

Thank you for the faith. But I don't deal with psykos, that department still belongs to Dr. Sohail. I am more interested in the thinkers and dreamers, and rightfully I will find them, after all, as you pointed out, we are the "god's chosen people"
(!)

I can't let my dreamers go. And we have many, I know that.

So over to Dr. Sohail, Dr. Sahib ye vala case aap sanbhal leejiyei.

We don't compete like that BJ, even though I know I'm good, I've done psychology for 15 years now. But your case has to be handled by Sohail, because he has more free time for you.

Re:#84

Meira, I try to ignore all "J"s very consciously. (You will have to ask the Manto why.) And BTW, Dr. Sohail is already the resident shrink here and he is unlikely to let you grab his job without putting up a fight!

The problems with your piece are...

(1) it starts out aimlessly.

(2) it goes on aimlessly.

(3) it ends aimlessly.

(4) it is almost insufferable.

(5) there is no story.

(6) there is too much naseehat being imparted!

(7) the writer appears too close to it.

I am glad there are people here who say that they like it. It proves that chowk has many kind-hearted souls still around. Good for them!

by the way, the crap you have pasted on your pathetic page, do you call that 'writing'? Its not fit to be read by dogs, no wonder you've selected 'no comments' --

poor baby, BJ. awwwww he can't really speak. so sad, you've not been able to write one coherent line, just look at the stuff you've produced here.

And where did the democracy and god's chosen people come from? Lol

you're completely irrelevant, and off-the-topic bro.

Now get out of here.

First of all BJ, the name is not Meira, it is MeiraJ, with the "J" -- can you see the "J" yes this is called a "J" inverted it would be a flap, only when you let it roll of the t,d clan. Cute, isn't it?

What are you so insecure about? What's all this.

Re: # 80

Look Meira, it is not as if people like me don't understand the pain of childbirth or don't love babies but one of the mistakes we make as parents is to get too fascinated with our own little ones and see nothing but perfection in the same. It is especially true of the Pakistani lot. You guys have convinced yourself that you guys can do no wrong! The result is -- everything comes out wrong.

You guys think you are Allah's chosen people while the rest of the world thinks you are Allah's chosen namoonas!

You guys think you have invented "real" democracy while the rest of the world lags behind clutching regular old-fashioned democracy!

There are countless other examples.

When you sit behind that keyboard, you can not become captive to what shows up on the screen. You got to retain control.

You need to write -- not let those words write you!

interesting word-choices:
"
u know as well as I that this piece is little more than as if...as if... a seven-year old were sitting in gushalkhaana daydreaming while trying (not so hurriedly) to... well, to finish the business at hand!"

BJ, I understand your nervousness, but I"m interested. So what have you read in your life? [books i mean]

Re: # 79

Kambakhat storm, you know as well as I that this piece is little more than as if...as if... a seven-year old were sitting in gushalkhaana daydreaming while trying (not so hurriedly) to... well, to finish the business at hand!

It starts without a point, it rambles on and without getting anywhere and without making any point and without any warning, dissolves into nothingness.

I wanted to be kind to Meira here, but she should have accepted my gentle words of compassion instead of probing smugly like only seven-year olds can do.

That's the real trouble with you Pakistanis. You never have learnt the value of quitting while you were "ahead"!

I trust you. -- i asked coz i could count the aimlessness, there was a lot of it, before and around what i wrote, quite at one stretch, but crafting it took a lifetime of longing.

BJ2 can't see two feet in front of his face these days, let alone read the fine print on the web. Mostly we ignore him, if he bumps into us, we give him a hard thudDa in the rear and set him off on his merry way again :)
