My Summer of ’69

Re: # 73 u said all this is true but i love to mobile friendship if u have any female contacts then please send me some numbers at my email address my address is serial_kisser1121@yahoo.com ok bye thanks

total tafreeh.

Nicely written. But i feel sorry for the decent guy turned criminal. His conscience wouldn`t spare him all his life.

Re: # 8, wht is a Jazz card or KFC lunch, now-a-days girls ask for a KFC lunch ... means a date OR an easy load of MObile card, then they talk on each and every thing and disclose all of their secrets, even sometimes they do sex...mobile sex.
I wonder, they are still cute and MASOOOM

haha! this was interesting :)

Re: # 76
Ten grand on EACH check post.... that`s some money... heartfelt commiserations to your cousin
i`ve been to peshawar three times (if my memory serves me right), and i don`t remember a single occassion where i was subjected to such a thorough checking... (that is not to say i dont believe you coz i have heard that seat-disassembling scenario from others as well)

now, not that i was carrying hash or some AK-47s but i think the fact that on all these occassions, i returned before 10 pm and on two of the occassions had at least one elderly person with me helped me get out of there without much fuss

and above all, they must have judged that this guy cant be carrying even 5 grand on him ;)

I was almost sure that it was non-fiction until the murder thing came along.... who on earth would kill two extremely harmless policewallahs when four joints and a few hundred rupees is all that they would`ve asked for...

Not a few hundred rupees by the way. I dont doubt the fabrication of this account, or `story` if you want to call it, but just for your info, dont try tempting them ``a few hundred rupees``.

My cousin went to peshawar on someone`s funeral and when he was coming back, he was stopped on all checkposts and each one of them took around 10 grand till finally he used some contacts. The people at the checkpost even checked under the radiator cap and believe me, even took out the car seats.


And secondly, not wanting to sound like i want to generalize, but there are some girls belonging to different cities, areas, mindsets etc. who DO lose their virginity over a Jazz card. Some take more. Some take less. Some dont take anything. Pakistani girls are no hoors but no whores either!

Re: # 45
The SSG is normally so busy in running Bakeries, Banks, Schools, Colleges, Universities, Traffic Signals kind of things these days that they don`t give a damn if somebody kills two, four or eight policewallahs right under their nose.

Re: # 42
Saturday mornings dear friend :)

Great read... easy-on-the-mind stuff, something that rarely makes it to the chowk front-page

I was almost sure that it was non-fiction until the murder thing came along.... who on earth would kill two extremely harmless policewallahs when four joints and a few hundred rupees is all that they would`ve asked for... (on that note, a friend of mine once confessed to me that he had thought about pushing a policewallah from a moving train when he was caught (or rather interrupted) while smoking a joint standing at the entrance of a compartment... indeed, fiction stems from the truth)
and how can a first time murderer slumber from 6 to 4 when he`s committed ``the crime`` only a few hours ago.... unless he`s had a dozen joints of the good-stuff just before going to sleep
otherwise, there`s nothing much in the story that removes it from reality

(but c`mon... don`t defame the pakistani girls, a UETian ought to know that they ain`t that bad... not all girls would lose their hymen for a jazz card or a KFC lunch... believe me, some are a lot more demanding... think about a mobile-phone instead of a jazz card or a PC dinner instead of a KFC lunch ;) and most of them ask for the most dreadful... commitment)

P.S.: I never knew there were so many UETians at chowk.... thanks for the nostalgic memories (quite recent moemories though)

{``Are you referring to Jamshed Bakery in nursery? ``

Behram,

I sure cannot remember the name of the bakery but it sure was owned by some iranian and was known as irani bakery. }

That bakery was owned by my uncle and there was a maulana`s convenience store right across the restaurant, next to the bakery. What a small world?

Respectfully submitted,

Re: # 70

Thanks for clearing all confusion.

I was trying to analyze! Is this fiction, an exercise in imagination or true happening. While going through the writing, I did not doubt overall in anything unusual in the sequence of events. This is what happens in the life of almost every young man belonging to somewhat affluent family. For being moderately affluent in pakistan, you dont have to be super rich.

However as soon as I read of the murders, I could clearly feel and see the distortion. Not even the most henious murders would dare to openly confess and narrate the details of his capitol crime. At the least he would try to justify himself , even when confessing. I am confident , with the background that the writer has narrated, the killing part of writing is purely a fabrication of mind and nothing else. On the whole, this part is the undoing of any qualitative virtue of this article.
It would have been in good taste, if the writer had added a note on this.

Bravo
