Whatall you are doing in Singslah? Lepak lepak? Makan? Chari jamban? Or dapak when you see one scandywan is it?

Please give my best SM Lee, ok.

Sorry, DRUMZ - I forgot to mention the link is called:``songs of love and devotion``

Chowk Editors and Chowkwallahs:

Apologies for sidetracking this board temporarily, but I have a request of all chowkwallahs:

I don`t know if I am the only one who has this difficulty, but many times on Chowk I`ve wanted to follow more than two reply threads and to have them visible on the screen at the same time. Rather than simply make a request, I`ve tried to solve this, and have put together a sample Chowk site at:

http://members.home.net/qawwalli1/

At the bottom of the page are links to the sample site. This is what you need to click on. To get into it the user name is: concept and the password is also: concept (both lower case). The page that comes up has a link called ``redesigned chowk``.

My humble request is to ask as many of you as possible to look at it and let me know if it just a waste of time or if it really is something useful. If useful, Chowk Editors, you may have it (if you like it of course!)

Now, for DRUMZ (and actually for others who may be interested as well): DRUMZ, a while ago you had made a comment that you did not find Islam deep enough or profound enough. That makes me ask of you a small favor: I`ve provided a link (named ``DRUMZ``) which will take you to an article on the same site. Hope you find it readable enough - I`d really like to hear your comments after you read it. No problem if you don`t (at worst you can always click right out of it!)

For those who explore the site further (there are visual goodies!) A warning!! This is a site that has Flash/audio and needs a cable or fast connection. Please explore, move the mouse around and click away everywhere on the fashion site page.

re: retard

{{Singapore was like Kashmir part of a bigger muslim Majority Malayi(Malaysia) before it was let go by Muslim to separate as Chinese Minority Majority City /Country of Singapore.}}

dude, shut up...lazy, incompetent malays are a curse on their own society, let alone singapore...obsessed with religion while the chinese and tamils contribute all the progress...malaysia and indonesia are the banana republics in that part of the world...

Rafique 44 - will def get hold of that too - thks ! Must add your earnestness has made this board taht much nicer to come to.

Take care,

Are you in Singapore? Lucky duck!

Forget fiction, stick to software. Even pulp fiction requires a modicum of talent

Urstruly 29; Your critiqe is actually quite welcomed. One of the purposes of placing this piece on a public website is to get everyone`s views on it. And to get new ideas on the storyline. I am interested in finding out about your assumption of the Gambit. And whom you consider to be the King.

Rest assured this will not be 125 chapters long. I don`t have the time, the interactors won`t have the stamina, and Chowk may not have the disk space to accomodate that much. These chapters are actually abridged versions of the original. They are somewhere in between an abstract and the actual chapter. Due to this, they lose much of the original feel and details. I am assuming Chowk will publish them, as long as the interactors find them interesting. So that factor will decide the length of this abridged version of this novel.

hamirau 34; Thanks for the information on NORAD. I always thought the mountains were in Wyoming. I drove through Wyoming last year, and spent a half an hour looking for them. No wonder I couldn`t find them.

The US military is the biggest employer of individuals with higher education, in the the USA. It also probably has the highest budget to purchase hi-tech equipment, also. It would be interesting to see the internals of the US Space Command.

aicha 35; I think the future of Thrillers is terrorism and the Internet. I have yet to read a really good fictional Thriller with detailed technical commentary about the Internet. There is a book titled, ``The Cuckoo`s Egg,`` by Ciff Stoll. It is a true story of how a professor caught a group of criminals over the Internet. Very interesting for techies.

semipreciousme 37; I have not read Clive Cussler. I am still stuck on Clancy. Sometimes I think Clancy goes into so much technical detail just to make his books longer. He just wrote one on the Net, which I will start reading soon. What does Cussler write about?

Aamir 39; You either live close to the Penobscot River in Maine or in the USSR, if you are refering to the locations depicted in the movie. If you are refering to the actual filiming locations, then my guess in Maryland, California or London.

P.S. I have still not read a better Thriller writer than Ishtiaq Ahmad. I used to be hooked on his Inspector Jamshed and Inspector Kamran Mirza Urdu stories, as a kid. Not to mention Imran Series by Ibn-e-Safi.

Have anyone read any of these Urdu stories?
