The Prophecies of Nosydamanus

Mr. Paracha
Sorry to dissapoint you but I still think this is one of your best articles. And I say this again, I believe you are far more effective when you are being less sarcastic and sardonic and more witty. But I really don`t mind the absurdity angle your writings usually take. You seem to enjoy it a lot and so do most of your readers. Thank you for the reply.

nice..
i am waiting for more perdictions :)

nadeem:

aap ne tau apne aap ko `baaghiraja` ka title diya hai, par zamaney main aur bhi baaghi hain aap ke siwa. aur agitation tau humara zindagani paisha hai, agar aap ne ghaur nahin farmaya tau. . . :D

as for the lack of rise being the real culprit, goodness, so it is true. sex is the answer to all the problems in the world!!!

~particularly liked, nos. 5, 8 &10. the `rise` of osama at the sight of hijabless women. LOL~

Or maybe the lack of it (`rise`) was the real culprit?

#2
~Good stuff. I wanted more.~

Actually, so did I.

#3
NFP my man,
~You should be certified. Enjoyed these very much. ~

Thank you, Ras. I have been ``certified`` a lot of times before. But never so nicely. ``Insanity`` does have its rewards. ;)

#4
~NFP - good job ! Here is one from me:
The unhappy abandoned one will die of grief,
His conqueress will celebrate the hecatomb:
Pristine law, free edict drawn up,
The wall and the Prince falls on the seventh day.
Translation: Field Marshal Musharraf will be impaled on a pakistani long range missile named Cowboy II in South Waziristan in the year 2007. ~

Yes, I guess this is (and/or will?) be the only way he finally loses his uniform?

#5
~And are you sure Nosydamanus is just having a bad LSD trip in 8?~

Actually, I believe he is having a trip in 2,3,4,5,6,7,9 & 10 as well. Lucky b*stard.

#6
~ Dhamka Paracha! That`s what you should be called, dude. ~

That should have been DhamAka, I presume? And sorry for asking this so loudly.

#7
~Nice, nice, nice. Was wondering where you had escaped. ~

Yeh na thi hamari kismat. And anyways, my escape routes are usually rather damaging to the mind and the soul...as you might have already noticed.

~This looks influenced by the Maddox style heavily only with a local tinge to it.
Maddox is way better though. ~

Maddox, who? Chalo, at least my ``local tinge`` is better than his.

#13
~Pathetic to see the pakistanis poking fun at the great greek futurologist while ignoring their own great futurologist, Zulfi Bhutto.~

Nosydamnanus was Pakistani, not Greek. However, ZAB was (Greek). So kindly improve your Latin before uttering unfactual gibbrish.
PS: I on the other hand am Vulcan ( in case you`re interested in a lesson or two in logic.)

#14
~people think of you as a havenot who has nothing better to do than to write this anarchistic preludes. ~

They are right. After all, what have havenots not to have it to loose?
However, if I really am a havenot, the following is what I`d love to have: A lot more anarchic havenots writing ``anarchistic preludes.`` :)

#15
~In Graffiti Christ Nadeem promoted himself with dirty language(Badnaam huuay toW kiiya naam na huua syndrome e.g get noticed via specific style.) ~

Hum badnaam tho aisey bhi hain, waisay bhi sahi. But thank you for noticing me.

#19
~Do we forsee another vintage NFP prediction?~

Are we talking about predictions or wine?

#20
~I`ve so far enjoyed most of your writings on chowk, however, this one I enjoyed the best because it did not have all that biting, bitter sarcasm and sardonism that usually plagues your writings. ~

It didn`t? Shit.


#21
~i for one (oh my gawd, did i just admit to being a nfp fan? may the heavens strike me down now!!!!) would not hate you for saying that. ~

nooralain, FANning agaitation again, aye? Nice.


regds,
NfP

feedback:

i for one (oh my gawd, did i just admit to being a nfp fan? may the heavens strike me down now!!!!) would not hate you for saying that. there are others, including the powers-that-be at chowk who might agree with you.

biting `bitter` sarcasm (either i missed it all together, or i missed it because i feel the same way) may appear as counter-productive in satire, or anywhere for that matter, but when there is plenty going on around you that makes you angry because of how it affects the world around you, it is really difficult to couch what you write with amusing witticisms.
again jonathan swift`s `a modest proposal` is no less sarcastic, and that is still considered to be one of the best and most well-known pieces of satire in the english language.

not that i`m trying to change your preference or anything like that. just to offer an opinion that there is room for what you feel plagues his writings. : )

MY GRANDPA`s DAD READ A PROPHECY ON THE WALLS OF SENCFERU PYRAMINDS IN EGYPT IN 1812. I THINK THIS PROPHECY IS NOW IN MAKING IN PAKISTAN.

``FOR THE LONG WINDS THAT BLOW THROUGH THE TUNNELS OF DARKNESS AND FLASH THAT WOULD DARKEN THE SOUL OF KNIGHT. 11 VIRGINS WOULD BE SACRIFICED TO BRING PUBERTY TO THE FLOWER``

TRANSLATION:
The dictator/warrior of the country would have gas problem in his stomach and he would not be able to eat anything due to his fragile rectum. He would make news all around the globe after the flash. The subjects would enjoy 11 years of Democratic Virginity (no democracy) and then finally the country will get democracy.

CONCLUSION
Zia Ul Haq has gas problems in his stomach plus he died in air accident. So air is in both things. Plus he ruled 11 years in Pakistan and then later he died and democracy was restored.

phew .................!!!!

A ripper, NFP. But this could have gone on a bit more. I think it`s too short. Do we forsee another vintage NFP prediction?

Finally, an atricle by you that is less sarcastic and more witty. Paracha Saheb, even though I`ve so far enjoyed most of your writings on chowk, however, this one I enjoyed the best because it did not have all that biting, bitter sarcasm and sardonism that usually plagues your writings. I`m sure most of your fans would hate me for saying this.

are we actually poking fun at nostradamus, or ourselves?

unfortunately, try as some of us might, we `pathetic` pakistanis cannot ignore zulfi kulfi. you on the other hand, with little effort. . .i think we can manage. but in the meantime, please expand your name-calling vocabulary. calling all pakistanis pathetic is getting just a wee bit stale on your part. the whole world would be grateful to ye.

Pathetic to see the pakistanis poking fun at the great greek futurologist while ignoring their own great futurologist, Zulfi Bhutto.
He said that pakistanis will eat grass to have the bomb, and today his promis has come true, 35 percent of pakistanis now realise the greatness of bhutto.

Well Well Well Mr NFP you again prove that you have a way with the words. I have been a great admirar of your litarary swashbuckling style but I think you are loosing your touch or I think it is the deafness of the society that is falling hard on you. You are nausiatingly sharp and your scalpel ( I mean your Pen) has been shadow boxng for a long time but its blade is not cutting down the blinds of Capitalistic and mercantile debauchery which has fallen on the eyes of our youth, people think of you as a havenot who has nothing better to do than to write this anarchistic preludes. Just a note I met you once in Pakistan with my friend, late SAHIBZADA BABAR KHAN (lead singer of THE TRIP)

Do you guys read `The Best Page In The Universe`?(www.maddox.xmission.com)
This looks influenced by the Maddox style heavily only with a local tinge to it.
Maddox is way better though.

hmmm. . .first of all acid trips are overrated.

secondly, #8 is attributed here to gul sahib, but on the quraishi board where it actually belongs, is attributed to someone else. what kind of trip is that?

thirdly, i think i get it. NFP admirers never fail to project their own trips, LSD or otherwise on to NFP! so to put oneself in the mind of one who wanders into the R of K for endless days and nights perhaps without much sustenance ( a whole different trip) can only occur on an acid trip. hmmmm.

Ref #8: ??????????. Ijaz Saheb, wrong place, sir. Or are you trying to be cryptic too? Nosy should know. That would be NFP on LSD, of course.
