tahmed321 #321 `` AnNy is moti (gem), that`s for sure.``

nahi nahi, humari anNy to heera hai heera

by the way, your post number matches your name.

the coincidence is blowing my mind.

binifer #320,

wow that was a heartfelt response.

i feel your pain dear. i`m a yoyo too. except for my occasional binges of KFC and pizza, i try not to buy any fatty foods. nazron say door, dimagh say door, and subsequently hips say door ;)

some people are blessed with killer metabolisms

and some aren`t (sigh)

Hum nay to socha tha ki chowk may Yankeeyon ka raj hai :-)

Aapney sahi socha. Raj Yankeeyon ka hee hai. Lekin Down Under(wear) key niwasi welcome hain

P.S.: ok, Amdavad is Gujarati for Ahemdabad. Cool. Didn`t know that. Though it was one of those name changes again. Calcutta to Kolkotta, Madras to Chennai, Bombay to Ghati sounding Mumbai etc

[``Let`s leave your mother out of this.``]

RSexena, see, you are so cheap.

I `ve never said anything about your mother in the past and I never will in the future... thats a gentleman`s promise... unless of course we are objectively discussing some chowk article on rampant incest in Northern India.

RSaxena:

I was under the impression that it was ali1 with the IQ issue(as he held his surroundings responsible for the damage). Never realized that you also had some issues in that regard? Do you? Seriously?

Very Sad!

ali1:

Now you are taking a refuge behind Ghalib :)

I give my word that I will write about my HQ as well as UQ, but I have to admit that mujhae kabhee bhee ``uptight`` kee implication or mutlab saheeh tarah sae sumujh main naheen ayaa. I mean, I cannot sit on the other side of the table to understand why a person would opt for this word ``uptight.`` I can use stiff, haughty, difficult(relative term), selective, with a taste and etc...laiken uptight ??? are you implying opposite of khulla dulla? I am asking so that I can handle it well.


PS: By the way, by saying that be a man, I implied: stand up for your views than anything else. You have a tendency to take the ``aar`` of others` thoughts than to come forth with your own views. Unfortunately, the ones you come out with very boldly are usually insulting remarks than anything else. Probably, you are not confident enough to raise your positive thoughts and views boldly and your negative side overshadowns your positive one. In order to cover up for that you confidently state condescending remarks. This is the 2nd time I have pinpointed you doing that.

-Why not invest your best energies in expressing your positive and real thoughts?

-Why not cut down on the fatty/oily/unhealthy Mc`deeeeeeees stuff? and start focusing on Tofu/Fish/Simple Chawal and other achi achi cheezain?

Take Care.

Zahra # 311,

My IQ is slightly lower than the temperature at South Pole.... -150 :-(

Years of nicotine, alcohol and heat in the McDonalds kitchen has killed the few brain cells that I was born with. :-(

Now tell us about your HQ [Humor Quotient] and UQ [Uptightness Quotient].... you know what.... I once queried sadna about her BQ but she never got back to me :-( lekin khair voh alag kahani hai.

Re : Zafar 221

Australia? Brisbane? You mean I am not alone? Tum bhi kya Down Under ka nivawsi ho? Hum nay to socha tha ki chowk may Yankeeyon ka raj hai :-)

And the rest of you please don`t bring Biryani/Kulfi/sundae and general khane ka mention amongst mutual expressions of hatred being carried out here. Sari nafrat dilute ho jati hai.

Plus I have got to wait till Mid-November before I go home and drown myself in papri-chaat, rumali rotis & kebabs - burrah/seekh, gol guppas, biryani, chollay bhature, burfis......god I am drooling, lets hope the keyboard does not short circuit

Stuka # 305

Stuka bhai, an aunt of mine raised in Gujarat always used the word Amdavad.

Stuka #305:

``Are you going to Bombay or Gujarat? Where the hell is Amdavad? Is that the new name for Ahemdabad? Did some moron change that too?

Jeez..``

Relax.. No one has changed the name just yet.. Gujaratis have always called it Amdavad and its officially called Amdavad in Gujarati..

There are some politicians clamoring to change the name to Karnavati though as that is what the city was called before AhmedShah made it his capital...

Well, if you are interested in the billi yourself then be a man - and say it loud and clear! Why hide behind someone else`s name?

By the way, do you have a tendency to get wrong ideas out of right posts? Or you get wrong ideas anyway as that`s how your superior I.Q[Intelligent Quotient]makes you function?

I am least interested in reading your concerns, but I would EXPECT you to work on the above questions in total seclusion for your own solace.

Best Wishes and Good Luck!


PS: Ayinda Maeree Post Kae Segments Chori Mut Kurnaa. OK!

anNy::

``dairy den has the most incredible icecream in the whole world..``

Absolutely agree with you on that. My favorite is their Kaju Anjeer shake.. Try it this time..

``uh no wait..our baloch has better icecream...but dairy den is close ;)``

Hello...? when did those tribals, taliban`s brothers in arm learn to make icecreams? Even if they have, they cant beat Dairy Den..

``the pineapple sundae is used to entice me into shopping...the juicy pineapple chunks and that delicious icecream are worth trudging all those hours on that manhoos C.G road``

Manhoss and CG Road? Another ... Hellooooo,,,,?

Thats the place I have most of my exciting late teenage memories about... Parking on the sides of the road, eating Dairy Den or CTF on the road watching ``maals`` go by... indulge in general jhaankhnaa and all...feeling elated getting a smile from the SOnali Bendre look alike... and pestering the pretty Weekender salesgirl for an hour at a time for you know what...Als those were the days..And believe me I you dont see such a young, hep beautiful crowd at one place anywhere in the US in public.. Boy how I miss that...

``:i will definetly check out all the other places..thanks:)``

Sure.. and also check out Ashrafi`s Kulfi and Honest Pau bhaji in Whitehouse at Panchwati and the CTF in CenterPoint again at Panchvati..

Take care...

Satyavadi
