Re: # 24; majumdar

I'd second your thoughts sir ... madani sahib is one the most intelligent interactors here ... I don't always agree with his point of view but read his posts where I can, for some true insight

Ahmedmadani sahib,

Well written as usual, sir, there is no one quite like you on chowk.

They get afraid he will stop their political circle discussions and make them work.

You are absolutely correct. The Bong hates working and that is why I guess they support Commies in India. Partha babu is wrong about Tatas taking away the farmers land (as he is on most things), it was the GoWB which took the land away and now that the Tatas are gone, the land is not going to return to the farmers still.

I support Nano as it breaks hold of elites on monopoly of having 4 wheelers

Correct again. And that it will clog the roads is no fault of the Nano. India must invest on roads, not scuttle the Nano.

Regards

PS: I dont think you are mad at all, it is the people who are launching personal attacks on you who need to see Dr. Sohail asap.

Thanks interacts . . .

Ahmedmadani:- please consider writing a bok, nowdays they give away Man Nooker prizes for funny reports on the darkness . . .

parthaab:- Why only the Tatas, why not the rest of them, and by that I mean those who were given the keys in 1947?

Dasg-dot:- Just this that the Indian Government knows exactly what happened to Netaji after he escaped from Taipei.

Shah2:- The Nano has atleast 6 engine options on date, and most of them work against the liquid petro fuel lobbies. So your hyptothesis does not hold good. What the Nano will do is to change the way people look at small cars. I think. Whether economies worldwide are ready for this, I don't know.

Salim Chauhan:- Thank you, various.

+++

Re: # 20,19 Thanks for reminding still I am not mad. There is mean man called mr. Parthab ( #16) and mr. T they have "khunnas" about me. Now Mr. Parthaab has some problem as said earlier like original sin.... Woman. Then now new problem is mr. Tata and some body called mistry. He has some disorder and he feels every woman is ready to attack men folk and they are just after alimony and children grabbing etc and Mr. Tata is after his Wallet.

Now if you looked at my post i was in praise nof bengali people and women folk there. I said good about them. They are more cultured and have good features and said good word about language as it emphasizes "soft tones". I also said with age they still look nice like cows while north of Rahim yar Khan they appear healthy robust as buffollows. Also said bengli language is not profane language like punjabi where people think something is wrong unless you start with abuse specially friend you are seeing after few years. Now Punjabis are earthy people even to Hindustani's from India in Karachi.I also mentioned they have little more cerebral activity compared to Punjabi munda. Fish , water protein is reason.

If Parthaab does not want Tata why not ask him to come to Karachi and take over Pakistan Steel mill for start followed by Nano Plant in Hub Industrial estate,We are short of power ask him to develop power plant.( tata company provide electricty to indian railways and that huge network runs, almost 70% of tracks are electrified) .Give him 10,000 acres of land free and let us ask Mr. Zardari to inaugurate nano and let start rolling and give all punjabi Mundas a platform to roam best subcontinents highways. Sure this will be better than movie imports.May be ask him to put our rail system on electric locomotives.If we can lure him to Karachi will be far better than all money we are going to pocket by Pick pocketting Americans. It is better to learn building building nano , and running of power plant, steel plant and energising power traction lines for railways than leaning and perfecting pickpocketting which becomes first habit , then it becomes character and then destiny. ( I feel we are good in trading,like cement agents and distributors make two times money than producers. This is likepick pocketting . Whilt tata type exploiting is good he makes people to put labor and make goods and services. Pakistan need not traders but people who make). I think Bengali hate tata 200% as bangla desh rejected Tatas proposal to invest highest amount in its history. They get afraid he will stop their political circle discussions and make them work. Bengali intelluctual class feels working hard is unjust and below dignity. Most are not hard working but they are intelluctual too much analysis leading no action paralysis. It is consider in intelluctuals to drink tee coffee and smoking is most productive and they consider virtue as poverty .

Any way I will ask Parthaab to excuse me and forgive me.
It is better to just not trouble othewrs. Good day. Hope not to trouble anyboody much.

Madani Sahib,
The roads may not exist yet, but your lavish application of tar over the torsos of your neighbors will definitely overcome that shortcoming. Now if only they could find a good use for feathers in road-building. LOL

Madani Sahib,
LOL & HA HA HA. I never get tired of reading your wit and humor that you express so well in a continguous series of painful facts interspersed with totally unrelated insults directed against no one in particular. Keep it going, man.

nkg #2 {"I wished, we got rid of Nehru and Indira Gandhi much earlier, may be in early 70s. That would have made India much better place now. "}

nkg,
Would that have been before or after she meddled in a neighbor's internal affairs and caused the catastrophic breakup of the country - resulting in the rise of terrorism against India today?

Veeresh,
Welcome back and once again you did not totally waste your time on yet another train journey. Thanks for a good article and an inspiration for people who threaten to leave and take their marbles with them. Where were you when the boycott of Chowk was being disorganized?

His first negociation was with punjab govt (Amrinder's govt. at that time),. Tata wanted free land, 5 years tax holiday and many other concessions which were working out to be too costly for Punjab, hence they refused to accept his contions and he then moved to WB. Badal had tried to revive the project again but Tata had already made a pact with Gujarat govt.

Re: # 12 Parthaab babu... I Madanisahib is getting tired of your WHINING all time. If you have complaint is ok but all whining all time is not welcome.
first your are against women all time now most men are miserable without women around and hopefully other way also. You have become Elite/ local from Bengal always compaining against women and whining. Now women have no problems but you have real big problem. When I say big means real big problem. You need to figure out , i have mental problems but i control them. Control and controlis key.
Now do not mean to say you are not good, may be there are women worst than angry buffollows and just strike and demolish man.
Now I do not care that little dingi platform nano indians will drive on nonexisting road ways. Now you have problem with some "mistry". Now we know always there are poor and rich people so why so much to worry about. Now as said before poor need to be exploited and made work hard so they get food.
Now bengali women are good looking but little dark but that due to weather. They look soft and femanine and they do not become fat like buffollows like men and women north of Rahi Yar Khan as they age. Color is compensated by intelligence. Bengali's are intelligent over punjabis by miles and good for them. That is why we let you go and have B.Desh and happy. That is direct result of getting most protein from water/ fish. Also Benglai women speak soft almost in vowells like small punjabi child speaks before they get control on tongue. It appaers music to trained ears and very noticable.
Please do not complain all time against women and now mistry what will be next time. Sorry If I hurt your feeling but you are just getting too much complaing.
Have good night.

Re: # 10

Maybe Ratan could have got the blessings of thousands of hapless poor whose land was taken away, if he had simply 'donated' that 50 million to them, instead of the US of A.

This crazy man, who owns 1% of Tatasons, seems so enamoured by the west.
Notice the money he took away from Tata Steels profits ( shareholders ) to pay for a UK company!

Even Pallon Mistry, the wealthy reclusive ( a relative who he acts as a front for ), has taken IRISH citizenship!

Re: # 10 I support Nano as it breaks hold of elites on monopoly of having 4 wheelers.
If you remember long time elites have monopoly on foreign travell. Only elites like bhuttos, jinnahs will go to England. But weith opening of usa even ordinary person can immigrate or marry pakistani woman in usa and mard Punjabi Munda can reach usa and and drive 4 wheeler.
Same nano will usher different perception. Now i agree it is better policy to deny things then opeople value them. Like cell phones everybody has so elites lost also mass produced things get cheap with time become part of average man's lanscape. As indian way is different way of planning is reverse so after many nanos they will start on road buildind not bad just different type management style IIT style not LUM type. Indians can come and look at american std built drivers dream highways.
Just like black leaders in usa criticised space program as waste, but now inovations have added entertainment to their life. Same way nano will lead to high ways . Indians have horseneed built carriage.
Economy is strange case beyond my understanding. But starving everybody is not solution and more rich spend by nano or television poor get jobs. Also not poor should not be punished to drive bycycles and as they way barrel of crude price coming down nano can help to spur price. We need to look at oil producers also they need money to buy good services. Presently is not good for poor contries like iran or super rich Ksa arabs , Russians this business of feast and famine due to oil pumping. They need stability and nano can give jump by adding new oil users.
