Sunday jan 18 2009 images Dawn pelting for Paradise by NFP
beautiful painting-emerald depths giving way to the mystic light of the leopard

pair.....now about business.just after birth,most animals acquire what is called "fur".it

makes them cute, lovable and cuddly.so no animal is naked.it is the greed of people that

"defurs"them.and thank goodness not many think of flaunting real "fur"coats on cat

walks nowadays, for fear of.......?instead they satisfy themselves with synthetic

ones.even the Proverbial wolf is said to be "in sheep' s clothing"
, repeat clothing!!
Why do not people simply tell their (women) kin not to be a band of monkeys and ape

jeans wearing females.it is as easy as that!
why do not people get a code censor/sensor/signal installed on their tv screen or on

their dark glasses that can recognise censorable items, and turn them into jig saw

puzzles.this idea not available in the market yet?give it as a food for thought, to the

HEC supported industrial/university research cooperation on popular, emergency and

aggressive demand! to work on!!
lastly, not to miss an opportunity, the womenfolk should extract a promise from men,

not to lift their gaze to see any woman, outside.jeans or not.

wait till the government ka aadmi sees this new coined word televiban.stoves blow themselves up do you think a television set is capable of blowing itself up.due to the strange frequency of the chattering program?
now for some thing similar about elektronic media boom.
by nfp mirror,mirror, nfp naked lunch images Sunday dawn 7 december 08

“this bubble-like prosperity and an overstated feeling of economic and political empowerment that this class of urbanites felt also elevated them as becoming the economic and conceptual drivers of the new found electronic media boom in india and pakistan.but the irony is that this bubbled prosperity did not make them more liberal, egalitarian,wise or progressive.instead, it made them feel a lot more insecure....�
i feel suppose they had turned into all these liberal, egalitarian, wise or progressive.would these qualities still have been used to strengthen the feudalistic nature of the society? and the caste ridden structure of the sub continent. as for the elektronic media control under the masked hypocrisy of these societyies� all these good qualities may have been seen projected in the media.
“.............did not necessarily turn it into a progressive batch�.i think the only progressive path taken by those who control the electronic media is to find out more ways to improve the design of the vanity box which the media has become to show off their vain glorious power in politics and other fields.well i dont care where the progressive element comes from.it would be good if it is enough to go round to give the entire nation its basic facilities;health education and to keep them together a transport systems without fail or strikes.health is the most important concern for it has its preventive side too.which acknowledges and wants to ensure (anyone listening?) that every citizen of pakistan must get good food,nutrition and water;;no separate department needed for this.
by the by, “modern consumerism�+�humane capitalism�=what?

You don't know what the word means, Inam. -- and you will never know it.
You also don't know what friendship is, without which all your 'political' stands are ineffectual.
You let all your friends down, I remember all that they said. So don't talk to me about 'togetherness' --

Without Art and Literature, there is no revolution -- there never was, and there never shall be.

I don't know nor do I care who or what NFP is or was or will be -- but I do know I have as much right to speak and be heard, as much as your painfully violent energy has, or Nadeem has or whoever has.

Of all the things I hate the most, is aggression and violence in men, and Inam you are painfully idiotic as well. There is no conversation I wish to have with you -- you don't understand me, nor my poetry, nor my revolution, and least of all, my anti-revolution.

Good-bye, by all means.

Fatima.
"I hit hard and kill." Where does it lead you to? It only means hard-hitting social stuff. I told you na, "get your perceptions right".

And I stand by whatever I write means I am always available to defend it. Every activist does this, Fatima! Everyone.

And here, I am not creating art or literature. I never claimed I have that stuff either. I am here for social change, for rebellion. To speak up loud. Making it louder, so that indifferent people can finally wake up and DO something together.

And don't forget, the word is TOGETHER.

Now the fact is, you won't understand it for a) it's not your ball game b) you have no interest et al in anything outside your poetry and your life. Fair enough!

But you can't beat my arguments in my writings just by calling me a 'loser', that's for sure. It's coherent, articulate - at least I try to write with logic. And nobody beats me when it comes to logic! It's in my blood, and you know that very well.

Anyway. Let's wrap it up.

Your NFP might be the 18th century ghost, i don't care. All I care is what he writes about. And he writes poisonous stuff and claims to be a hell of a rebel. And that really makes me puke.

In fact, I have nothing to do with his personal life, but when he drags my people into his writings, makes fun of them, it makes me crazy. Because they deserve respect, and not this kind of stuff.

Everyone and everything anti-establishment is my favourite. And it only takes me miunutes to rationalize such things. OK?

So if you don't like me, my comments, my writings, I don't mind. You go your way, fati. I will go mine.

Cheers.

you "never right humor"

..a second earlier you said:

"He merely tries to be funny. I hit hard and kill."

Where's your logic these days, enam?

You 'stand by your writing' -- but the written work always speaks for itself -- everybody knows that. Eighteenth century writers can't be 'present' -- can they?

you probably need to stand by it, since it won't do by itself.

And Mr. Paracha is probably an Eighteenth Century Pirate.

oh that was really cruel, Fatima. So Cruel of you!

How do you do that? Where did you get all this art of cruelty from? You cut my heart into two, in fact countless pieces!
Uff!

P.S: Get your perceptions right, Fatima. I never right humour. I just write what it is. Aur mujhe Art Shart mat batao yaar, koi interest nahi hai mujhe tum logon ki definations/quotations main, seriously! :)

And I am not like NFP, who hides behind his work and never replies. When I write, I stand by it. Like I did with the Fo Factor. I am always open to criticism, but certainly the ones which make sense!

-Bye.

but only you comment on your own articles, like the loser that you are.

Enam, 'humor' is not to kill, it is lighter than that. When you kill, its called 'murder.' In fact, there is a great quote by Durrell, on humor....but its for people who can understand poetry. : )

#93, 93

Well, I never claimed mine was creative. Actually, mine was a focused piece on something, tum nahi samjho gi, zara sane se logon ki baat hai! :)

Btw, reviews are not supposed to be creative anyway... and they never are. Everybody knows that. They are just REVIEWS.

Oh! I am more poisonous than NFP. I am way beyond his way and wits! He merely tries to be funny. I hit hard and kill. So no comparision possible between me and your Nadeem bhai.

And on bittersweetmojo writing as Enam Hasan... LOL...haven't you heard of IDs? Usernames? Anything of the sort!
Well, outer space main bhi hoti hongi, like for instance ... wo kiya tha... rkume6330 something like that... You know, it's not so difficult... like your Nadeem bhai has: bhaagiraja. LOL.

Thora tu soch k bola karo!

Aur ye creativity spirit kiya hoti hai? God, why everything has to be creative? Tumhara kiya karein Fatima hum!

'creativity spirit karachi thing' - is Nadeem's work, obviously not yours.

vohee toh. you never get it. though i did take his name -- unless you'd like to call yourself NFP? jao vapis ja kar parh kar aao. qasm se kahan kahan se ajatei hain -- I only stayed perplexed by this 'creativity spirit karachi' thing, it gets me every time...damn. I suddenly feel like an idiot, 4 msgs ago i had left the world. Why on earth am I still here talking to Enam Hasan? who writes articles and then comments on them with different identities like 'bittersweet mojo'?

MeiraJ sahiba,
arey waahhh!

"the last message was for him and not for you."

Tu mention kiya karein na! I though you have exclusively graced me with those devinely poetic words! Marr gya main tu!

Had hoti hai qasam se!

And intelligent conversations? Well, that's exactly what I was going to ask. Tum se nahi ho sakti, is liye maaf karo mujhe!

Qibla,

Aap kahan hain? :(

Well,
I never said I am Enam in that e-mail. I sent it some chowkie, who is called MeiraJ with her post, "that's SPIRIT bittersweet... da da blah blah".

And you sound like your best friend "Adil - the great artiste" right now. Remember him? 'Oh I am so sensitive, so poetic, so this and so that!' Exactly like him! So sad. tsk tsk.

Oh yes, Hell. Sure. And This Is ME, bittersweetmojo, you poetess of year 6010! So blindly futuristic you are, nai?

Of couse I didn't GET your poetry. How could I get it? After all, I founded the cult of sanity in this town, u mother of words! How can you just forget my great contribution, huh?

And there's no VEIL. Never was. Never will be. So get over it, Fatima!

Enam, shut up.

"bittersweet mojo? and then you send me an email saying you're Enam what was that? behind the 'veil'?

Your 'way'? Enam, you're going nowhere, except hell. And I mean the NFP ordained hell, not the muslim hell.

Plus, the last message was for him and not for you.

: )

I know my poetry is good Enam. You didn't 'get' it -- again. Are intelligent conversations no longer a possibility?

See. That's poetry. And so what if it's anti-revolutionary. I know out of millions only one or two will get it right. And for that too they will have to be as pagal as you are. And I don't mind if those paglauts don't join my revolution. They are harmless. Samjhein aap! Apne truce banati rahiye, kuch bhi kariye mujhe kiya, meri bala se yaar! But get off MY WAY!

P.S: And it's beyond hate or love or any other stupid stuff, haven't you already got it yet?

tsk tsk.

#85, arey kia keh rahain hain aap, my poetry is anti-revolutionary, and works in eclipses, of orbits it goes in opposite directions, and most of it is for readers that aren't even present.

It is of course the only absolute, that you all hate it, for how would I have fun otherwise? Jupiter truce, NFP.
