tahmed32:
True, we desis are humour-impaired, with the possible exception of the sikhs. BTW I define humour as the ability to laugh at oneself rather than to insult others.

Actually, I was using the same cutting satirical and acidic style of writing on your Baba Paracha that he uses on everything else. I thought you guys would see the joke but evidently not. So take a chill pill yourself and keep listening to Urdu cover versions of Meatloaf songs and discussing them with William Paracha Burroughs as though they are Radiohead. And please dont use the phrase ``this rocks`` about everything he writes; it sounds so gay.

Sorry PunjabyZulu, mr. dost and co., you guys certianly don`t have the sense of humor of a ``seculer`` country. But you guys can always shift to lahore and kill a few chistian missioneries there and maybe burn a few Mughal mosques? And Zulu, stop hating NFP so much. Your safron slip is showing.

You are right I need to chill out. This is the funniest line out of the all:

..................................................................................................................................

Judaism
Genocide with a ‘J.’

..................................................................................................................................

Oh how I laughed.

``Bollywood
A social club advocating choreographed group dancing as a cure for poverty, crime, illiteracy, child labor, unemployment, exploitation, etc.
Example: “I love you” “I love you too” (Dance!); “Yeh shadee nahi ho sakti!! (Dance!); “My son committed suicide.” “Oh my God, that’s terrible.” (Dance!); “You like my new hair cut?” “Yes I do.” (Dance!); “Look at this poor child. He seems to be dying of hunger.” “Tich, tich, tich. Let’s get him a Pepsi.” “Great idea. “ (Dance!); “Why is everybody dancing?” “I have absolutely no idea.” “Why are YOU dancing?” “Because everybody else is.” “Hmmmmm … I see.” (Dance!). ``

He forgot to mention the ``Indian Rain Dance`` when the village has a drought and everyone dances...and it pours..LOL!!

This is actually my fave. :)

Some are only moderatly funny...

``Life
Cosmic imprisonment`` Blecch!!



Seriously, the Bammans need a sense of humor. Reminds me of the Cliche...India is an open society with a closed mind. Punjabi Zulu, chill dude.

NFP rulze! tahmed32 was brilliant in his response to what is a gross overeaction on our Indian/hindu brothers` part. See the humour in it and the way, I think, Paracha is parodying his own nihilist style. It`s all in good humour and rather hilarious. jews, hindus, muslims, christians all get bashed but in a funny way. So where`s the insult? Now if you would excuse me too .... BHARAT ..... LOL!! No offence, really. See you in delhi :)

Oops, there go the CBMs. Take it easy PunjabyZulu. The Paracha clan is from Punjab too, you know. Now if you would excuse me .... B****T! ... ahhhh, that feels good.
NFP: This piece rocks. I`m sure our most middle-class BJP fundos here will fail to see the humor, so I guess you`ll have to wait for an Indian Marxist from Kolkata to tell them that it`s okay to laugh on oneself. Btw Zulu bhai, NFP has made far more fun of mullahs and islamic fanatics than their hindu counterparts. So stop complining and start enjoying.

The article is quite funny. All the humor-deficient neighbors from across the border even funnier. Where is stuka when you need him?

later

tahmed

I was not ridiculing Pakistanis. Read my post again sir. I was ridiculing a Pakistani. Mr Paracha. And Dost Mittar explained everything you need to answer your question.

regards

dost mittar: Agreed that no one likes to see his country or his people being ridiculed. But lets be fair: check the posts below, and the ones from pakistanis - temporal, saminasha, riffat - are all decent and appreciative. The ones from indians - including posters like jang and panjabi zulu whom one would consider to be of normal intelligence - are (with the notable exception of subroto who is ALWAYS decent AND funny), are all directed towards ridiculing pakistanis. And this reflects, as i have said before, my chowk experience with india-pakistan interactions: there is an asymmetry in terms of decent behavior on chowk.

I really wonder what kind of an environment these people were raised on in India. I can understand them hating pakistan (small brains on both sides toe the government line), but this routine trashing of the atmosphere with there humorless ridicule is disgusting, low class behavior.

Moderately funny, though I prefer humour that does not insult the ``other``.

tahmed32:
Maybe the Indians do not like their country compared to ``the burping sound made by right-wing Hindu patients of chronic indigestion`` any more than Pakistanis like their country being called ``Pukistan``.

Nadeem F. Paracha:

Clueless Pakistani Marxist and character from the Urdu movie remake of This is Spinal Tap. Likes to cuss Jews and Hindus but doesnt have the balls to lay into Islam to the same degree. Thinks that taking drugs and copying junkie writers like William Burroughs is clever and good. But junkie writers can only write JUNK.

Ho hum so whats new? Another article by NFP containing, as usual, Hindu bashing interspersed with Muslim bashing. Unfortunately there are 26 alphabets too many for this piece.
