Living Abroad

It seems like living in the US for three years did not transform you at all. Its true that America tends to get lonely if you do not have the right company, but you cannot have good of both the worlds (Pakistan and the US). The problem comes in when we want to create their own little pakistan in America and shum ourselves from the rest of the cultures.

Hey, I found this in an interactor`s profile. Sounds exactly like you, doesn`t it?

[I used to on the janitorial staff of a fairly largish corporation. Before that I used to be a village idiot. ]

[Urstruly,

Btw, do you have any single sisters?...]

For a minute, I was afraid you were going to recommend your brother to Urstruly for his sister`s hand in marriage... you know, the one who is married to a Muslima already. He should be eligible to take 4 wives, right? Did you check that out with your sister-in-law over cocktails?

Zermin,

I`m a little late in coming to this. . .

Your article is very good. Was speaking to a friend of mine last night in Texas who`d gone over to interview for a residency this winter. Three months down and a match later, she`s aching to come home. Says she looks for familiar desi faces whenever she`s downtown, which isn`t very often as she spends most of her time at home with the family. And my friend isn`t some meek sheltered girl but an outspoken, freethinking doctor soon to start a neurology residency at one of the top hospitals in the US, the Baylor College of Medicine.

Home is where the heart is. Though I`d be wary of fostering any false assumptions of the homeland; things are probably still as good or as bad as you left them. It`s you that have changed.

With best wishes,

Aamir

Urstruly,

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

O dear Lord...you are leaving our beloved Michigan & heading towards the Windsor tunnel?...how about using your engineering skills to build a port in Gwadar? I promise you the IAF will not harm you. Even if those Indian naval pilots would fly from newly aquired bases in Iran; they dont have any frikking aim!!

Btw, do you have any single sisters?...you wont find a better match for them than Waqar mian...

Romair,

good luck holding mian hamidm`s hand while he`s having a mid-life crisis on Chowk...but please..be careful, he may just bite it after he`s had his first drink...he`s wily enough to be a horrible hindoo..

see ya next week..

Saminasha, re. #26
Excellent insights!

This is sad, for a number of reasons, which I`m sure others have gone into, so I won`t.
Saimasha (#15) and NazarHayatKhan (#10): Excellent posts. Thanks for sharing.

LOL. mbenzenglish is one of his avatars as well...but i dunno about the rest either. I think Lajwanti may be also!
And it`s AAmir...to type it as aamir would confuse him with hamara apna aamir ansari, who does not sound anything like 12-head!

Public service-
n(>12)-head - Studebaker, aamir, American Express, Azad Munna, Tipu, Bijli, Shah, Bapu, Deepika, Sadhana, Faiza, Chunky Pandey, Brad Cruise, Tom pitt, Nagnatheshwar, suraya, Fatimah, Ayeisha, and some l/I ones.
Not sure - tania, avis, whistelingwoman, tripleM, mbenzenglish, independent.

rsax...
yaar, i don`t have the stomach..or the patience to list his 20+ nicks...perhaps we`ll point them out as they appear, howzatt?

re: ana #90

...and you might want to list out the 20 or so nicks this guy uses to make an ass of himself...

Ana,
Thanks for the update... I am a recent visitor but still new here. :) (T)

Yes. I was flying (PIA).

maria...
what i think you`re missing is perhaps a little bit of history in regards to AAmir (and his other nicks...we do call him 12-head afterall)...
this man will misinterpret, and give his own take on what your post means...he will also read your post and respond in a way where a straight line is not something that is connected by two dots, but something altogether screwy. And if you continue interacting with him, at some point he will call you names. Such is the role of our resident Chowk beast!
I thought since you appear to be a recent visitor to Chowk, it would be fair to warn you -- you continue trying to reason with him at your own risk! :-)
regards,
ana
