Looks like people are commenting on article but not volunteering specific help. I will write to Dr. Sahib and see what I cans specifically do.

Great effort again Dr. Hoodbhoy.

Interesting read. tells of lots of probable reasons for the mystery of the superceedingbut not much is substantiated.

Re: Shafqat

I dont quite understand your amusement at the author`s comment to Muzaffar Q. I dont think the author is just boasting about herself - her comment was directed to a person who praised her writing. To me it read more like ``If I write well, its because I write honestly``.

Yes I had heard that Pak Ammerican had shutdown, but I did not know that it was being replaced by the KFC - the symbolism is hard to swallow.
