#85 once again you assume... you know what happens when you assume my dear..you make an ass out of me and you.
The jilting episode had nothing to do with my pref. on where to live.
Rather it was that he wanted to obey his parents and marry his cousin.. umm where did this relate to that????

Halooo.. am I missing something???

nazarhayatkhan #46: ``It was my flight to New York.``

Just curious. Would you happen to be in PIA. Usually people who are passengers, say, ``I took the flight to New York.`` ``My flight`` is a phrase I have only heard pilots say.

Ref 12-Head #71

Well; along thes ame lines, the author speaks of her life in Chicago as a student while her profile says she is a student at the University of Michigan. I know Chicago is on Lake Michigan but I don`t know there is a university in Chicago named for that lake.

Bhatti Saheb

speaking of Ustad Daman, does any one know few shair of Daman`s poem that he read in IndoPak Mushaira attended by Pundit Nehru and after listening that piece he shed some crocodile tears?

...speaking from experience, zermin it`s def. the ppl that make the place...you could live in timbuktu and have the time of your life if you have the right ppl with you...but it takes effort...you have to come out of your shell...your comfort zone...but whatever the case, i`m glad your happy and back in pak...

Waqar.. I agree with you.. but I dont think I would be of too much assitance to anyone until I am complete myself...being completed to me is completeing my education and returning home as an asset not liability..


Inshahallah.. pray for the day. :)

Coorection.
It is Ustad Daaman`s shair and goes like this:

banda chaahey te ki nai kar sakda,
manneyaN waqat hai tang toN tang aunda.
Ranjha Takhat HazareyoN turay te sahi,
pairraN haiTh SiyalaN da Jhang aunda.

AAmir, I think your reading between the lines a bit to much.
My profile is a little something about me.. it isnt me...

I am living in the US and I am happy..not because Im living here but due to other things.. family, my sig. other... to name a few..

I do however want to retreat back home after I`m done in school...
Just because I dont have 100% of everything doesn`t mean I cant be happy or content.. and because I`m content doesnt mean that there arent`t things that I would like to better..

my opinion to you.. dont just an entir person by a few lines in the profile. :)


#74... aweseome shiar yaarra.. been looking for it for a while now...

This article is straight from heart - an excellent piece of writing. I wish and pray no one has to leave his country. Migration is a very painful process, and the worst part is that it never ends. May be that`s how we are punished for not loving our country enough. I left Pakistan because:


kuj uNj vee raNhvaaN aukhiyaaN san
kuj gal vich Gham daa tauQ vi si
kuj Shehr day lok vi zaalim san
kuj saannooN maran daa ShauQ vi si


And now another migration is just right ahead. And I have no intention to fulfill my ``marn da ShouQ`` at an internment camp.

nawaid

I don`t understand Ch. Parvez Elahi`s non-sense either. Education in government schools upto 10th grade has been free ever since early 70`s. This Rs. 400 per year was added in mid to late 90`s probably by Benazir. I think PE has taken that back under his new program. During my 12th grade and college I paid less than Rs. 30 per month for college. My Engineering college was a little bit expensive. I paid like Rs. 360 per semester there.
