Close Encounter

Re: # 360

salim,

......... ``affect`` is a noun, so the phrase ``superficial emotional affect`` could be right if affect is used as a noun and ``superficial emotional`` as an adj .........

...... i hope this revelation does not harm your case against samina ......

lo ji!

when the writer titled this piece ``close encounter``, i`m sure these interactions are not what he had in mind. (we won`t get into what was or rather was not in his mind) and chowk-staff`s appearance more than once -- ek dum jhikaas! i guess it`s better late than never that he or she would appear, and that too on a volunteer`s board.

chalo, perhaps some differences are being ironed out. and then again some are sticking with their differences, and leaving the deep wrinkles, the crumpled fabric as is. life goes on. in a real-life chowk, in lahore at least, there are harassers there, which the police will not always do anything about. so the harassed one might get a few of her/his thagRay brothers, cousins, friends together and beat the focker up. and then that focker will return, even more ``Dheet``, belligerent, and offensive than ever. no, wait, perhaps that doesn`t happen in a real-life chowk afterall. . . . it does happen somewhere though, not over the rainbow.

and yes chowk-staff you may delete my post for using the word focker. and i have three nicks other than this one. . . . i haven`t used them for a long while since you enabled ``ana`` again, which is what i began my bizarre journey with here. so perhaps you will rid this chowk of those as well. :) it is only fair to delete all multiple nics, not just those of a harassing nature. aur haaN, that is taking on much too work upon yourself since there are those here (even the one nic walley) who simply choose to ignore ``decency`` and ``responsibility``. kya kiya jai?

now where are the good reads to be found here. . . ? and did someone mention the word toffee? *slurp*

Chowk Staff regarding Farzana;

Who is going to apologize to us Chowkies? She has insulted our intelligence by writing lies time and again without conscience. Please step in to moderate her lies too. Thank you.

i also had a dream

hamidm bro:

am singling you out…you were one of the few who tried in vain to steer this in the right direction…also feel should lend you a shoulder...for it is not often we get stood up… more so when the respondent is not a … nah…let me not hit you there;)

may i share a dream which in my way i can also use to hint at a closure to this brouhaha?

you and begum hamidm were at this event of the year thrown by the grande dame scion of a world known family…a plain looking woman in her early sixties…(zoare plain per hay dost m`ray – ah! all this political correctness)

during the course of the evening she made a couple of passes at you…and you desisted…at the third blatant pass you were irked sufficiently to decline saying, ``M`am tomorrow morning I will be sober but you will still be …`` at this point in my dream i saw mrs. hamidm step in gingerly and steered you away…

(disclaimer: some of you may recognise that this dream was based on a literary anecdote)
