The Chowk Jam!

Thanks everyone. Zehra: I agree it`s a little ``cutsie,`` but whatever`ll get you published, right? BG: I`ve noticed you only reply if (a) you have something good to say or (b) you want to take part in a discussion. Thanks for liking this (or at least that one line). I`m a big fan of yours (even though I think you tend to go to looney extremes sometimes), and coming from you, it feels reeeeally good! Ferozek: Feroze yaar, you`re some character! In fact, it`s the little tiff going on b/w you and Zehra that inspired me to write this. You seem like a real interesting guy--so-o-oooo much knowledge (hard facts recorded in your head) and such intersting and often zany ways you string them together for conclusions/analyses! If I weren`t such a chicken about certain things in life, I`d certainly look you up--try to get together or something.

Anyway, thanks y`all, and keep up the ``discussions.``

Cheeno

As per instructions, I will pick up the discussion here!

Re: Temporal

Omissions rightly pointed out! There never any intention to minimize others, like Saima Shah, Wasiq, Rad, as you pointed out or leave of my Indian friends out of the credit loop either!

SS Chowk; I would have thought that in this age day of cyberspace, you would have opted for Starship Chowk: its continuing mission to find out new thoughts and new insights...to boldly go where no Chowkie has gone before....

Re: Zehra

The article by Chenno Agha was extemely well timed given the tangent I posted! It vocalized what I was aiming for with a laser`s intensity!

Just one question: you seem pre-occupied with the color brown....what is up with that? Just curious...

Re: Godot

Welcome back! You were AWOL for a while there....
In future, will keep my e-epistles brief, but no promises! :)

Bravo!!!!
