“Anatomy? People like Farzana Versey deserve it, don`t you think?”

No Mian. And your thoughts usually deserve a better vehicle than references to Anatomy provide. Btw – I have not noticed you actually ever referring to ladies’ anatomy on chowk, though of course you could prove me wrong. I admit that I enjoy it when you provide us with Tamil translations of common words and names in urdu. So sue me.

Baygham Sahiba – I am second to none in my appreciation of the exchange of low insults on chowk, but the issue I was talking about is not one of general rudeness/unpleasantness. I’m talking about men who use language designed to specifically shut women up (language which is intimidating, or which women may not be socialised to respond with, or to). And I’m afraid WE do that on Chowk more than THEY do. Criticism should be fair, agreed, but it should also be honest – otherwise it’s pointless. Zafar

A very big thank you for introducing me to Pakistanimusic.com website. It`s a treasure trove of great music and I have spent many hours of sheer enjoyment on this site. Actually right now I`m listening to Abrar Ul Haq singing ``Billo on GT Road`` and the lyrics ..``peeni Pepsi tey khaney burger ..`` has transported me to GT Road shops and dhabas of Punjab, Delhi etc.

Heck you didn`t name me even in the list of rabble-rousers. Have I become so insignificant a ``nutcase``! anNywayz, let me try to be more obnoxious.

PS saxena does not appear to be an evil guy. Just the kind of guy who writes against Pakistan fashionably. You dont trust me? ask scout. And Harimau is a very knowledgeable guy who can talk on the subjects ranging from Indian history to super-computers. He is sometimes corny when he is in the bad mood, just like you go crazy when you break your cellphone:-). For every urstruly/ali1 you guyz have a number of people who are very smart and intelligent like Fuzair, tahmed, Sameer,Bilal, samina, Feroze etc. Most of the Indians hold these people in high regard even when they criticise us.

[harimau:

very bad day..my brand new cell which cost me my life savings and more, blew up in the shower..and this is the second phone to do that in the last 2 months..and you ARE sometimes rude...getting into anatomy n all, you know? thora ziada nasty]

Why do you take a cell phone into the shower? Using cell phones in a bath in a tub, I can see. But unless you put the cell phone inside a shower cap that you are wearing and have it secured so it doesn`t get any water into it, you can expect the phone to die. And, it is the SECOND one! Don`t you learn from experience? Sigh....

Anatomy? People like Farzana Versey deserve it, don`t you think?

``In all fairness, Sheik was not the one that hijacked the plane. I don`t see on what grounds GOP could have detained him``

Lets see now...that he was released as part of a houstage deal means nothing? this is about the most inance piece of rationalization Ive ever heard.

You`re right about Sattar. He & another foreign office spokesman (the same one slammed by Christopher Hitchens, i believe) claimed that india had a hand in the kidnapping. Now they are laying it at the foot of the j-e-m.

I wish someone would ask some tough questions of the Generalissimo how such groups continue to operate. Is that Allah`s will too? (Thanks Sadhana;)

Moi? Rude? Now, what prompted that from you?

Dear Saminashah

``I again reiterate that the Indian and Hindu interactors on Chowk have been generally quite pleasant, unlike certain Muslim Pakistani interactors``

I am flattered and I wish you were right. But let me say that we are as bad as you if not worse people. You dont believe that! okay, read me. My goodness, and I thought I have the honor of being a ``nutcase`` :-).

``I feel really sad for Daniel Pearl. I also feel even sadder for Rupin Katyal, murdered for this piece of human filth. We will make sure this incident is recounted every day on american TV while the pakistani dictator is visiting the USA.``

pmishra2, I am guessing it will be brushed off as `Indian propaganda`. Trying to evoke the other guy`s good sense and judgement through the American media will ensure safer Americans, but not safer Indians and Pakistanis. The body they first found in Karachi was that of a Pakistani, but where is the uproar and demand for accountability for an innocent`s senseless death?

From the NYTimes on the Pearl Kidnapping:

[begin quote]

The suspect, Ahmed Umar Saeed Sheik, was imprisoned by India but then released in 1999 to meet the demands of the hijackers of an Indian Airlines jet

[end quote]

http://www.nytimes.com/2002/02/06/international/06CND-REPORTER.html

Is there any doubt about the people who kidnapped Pearl? Where are the delusional conspiracy theorists (the fool Sattar included)?

I will make every effort to ensure that the following question is asked at Musharraf`s press conference in Washington, D.C:

Why did you not take Sheik into custody after the hijacking? Was it because it was OK for him to kill Indians? Was it because your country feels that it is OK to hijack indian planes?

I feel really sad for Daniel Pearl. I also feel even sadder for Rupin Katyal, murdered for this piece of human filth. We will make sure this incident is recounted every day on american TV while the pakistani dictator is visiting the USA.
