Colour discrimination From the author:

---------------------

Dear readers,

Thank you all so much.

I am simply overwhelmed by your encouraging response and appreciative remarks.
You have all made my day...thanks again.

I hope I can live upto your expectations in the future...
Thank you all for your best wishes too...I am glad you could perceive me as a lively, exhuberant, humourous person...he does too but I guess his ego prevents him from admitting or acknowledging so!

Temporal ji, aap ne fees ki baat ki hai...aap hukm karein...bus ilaaj batayein...please!

Cherry, we might be sharing the same looks but God forbid that you should share my predicament too. No way! May your fiance remain the same loving and caring and appreciative person after becoming your husband. My case is an exception...meri bad qismati...not all men are as unappreciative of their wives as my husband...so put all your fears to rest...and yes, I too get the feeling sometimes that he mentions his gf just to make me jealous or feel unworthy...best of luck.

Zehra ji, I don`t know what you mean by compromising attitude but yes, I have learnt to laugh away my blues even though it still bleeds inside...thanks anyway.

SameerJB, between My Beautiful Rizwan and Colour Discrimination, two extreme realities co-exist...Rizwans and my hubby types are real. My best wishes to you for your future ``married`` life, with or without marriage as you say!

Nazar Hayat sb, thank you for the kind words...back at home I am the same bubbly self but it makes him wonder why I am so happy about!

Thanks a million once again, dear chowk wallas.
Sameena Khan.

US Attack on Iraq: Just Do It! re#1: thanks, it has been fixed.

Torkham to Wagah Bravo SameerJB, Saminasha and tahmed32

You have raised and you have answered most of the open and not so open questions. All that is left is quibbling and we can avoid that easily.

As Chowk, we aim to strive and do the right thing. Striving we are and quite often we are not entirely wrong.

Some day, some of us will do more than Chowk has, can, could in the last five plus years. Whenever, wherever and by whoever, that happens, Chowk will be there to salute. Chowk will not change the world, ``you`` will - Chowk will just celebrate.

Much thanks for the sincere posts. We have all learned something.

Torkham to Wagah Ref #14 by Urstruly

Actually Headless is a shameless plagiarizer - you are very right. Headless does cut-and-paste. After all, Headless has a very short life - just lost its head and it is savoring life before rigor-mortis sets in.

Behind Headless there may be one or more writers of uncommon talent. If you or someone you know has been plagiarized/celebrated then please make sure that Headless knows your feelings.

Kufa upon Euphrates Ref #2 by Urstruly

Chowk has been around for over 5 years, during this period much has changed in the world. Bulk of that change is for the worse.

Chowk has no nationality, bias, leaning and religion - it is just a Chowk where ideas and identities collide to create InterActions. If most of the ideas are of despair and most of the identities are suffering, Chowk cannot stay silent.

Chowk must raise its voice - gently, persuasively, confidently, rationally. We thank you for noticing the change - it is the people of Chowk that make Chowk and we are simply doing our duty.

Deportation is a small price to pay for speaking the truth and saving even one life. Yes, even one life.

Thanks
