It’s Not the Economy, Stupid! Kulharee:

Congratulations on your candidate winning the election (as you can tell, he wasn't mine). Time will tell how well he does wrt foreign paalicy as well as domestic. If I was happy about Obama winning, it was for those friends of mine who have struggled and waited many years for this day to come. I hope he doesn't disappoint them.

And next election, both of your sons will be able to vote!!! How exciting!

P.S. I would be more than happy to proof your articles before you hit the send button. :P

Seize The Moment tahmed sahib: with all due respect I would not want to know the whereabouts of the Generalissimo but I suspect woh itna aish kar raha hoga jitna the previous exiles before him. Of course if he is responsible for the current crisis in Pakistan then I hope he's found, but will finding him solve the economic crisis? If so, then you should not be wasting precious time asking a poor expatriate like me.

Seize The Moment hamidm can't sink to any more depths because he's already sunk deep enough in his own concoction. :))

General Colin Powell – A Day Late and a Dollar Short I honestly do not know whether to laugh or cry at the thought of Obama being the next Messiah.

I think I will laugh. And wait.

Fathers and Daughters I happen to think that this world is still fun even with the Masadis in the world. I don't think that masadi being a professor is that funny, or fodder for ridicule, no matter how much he annoys, angers and just plain irritates people.

Fathers and Daughters no wait, i've got my songs mixed up. It's your blue dress!

Fathers and Daughters Fatima:

I think you're the devil! Now go put your red dress on! :D

Fathers and Daughters Masadi, arre, if you know what Freud's theories are (for whatever they are worth anymore) than why do you give a rat's ass what anyone thinks haiN? You've got your degree, you are a professor in the social sciences. Let her dabble with her creativity, and let whatever interpretation you have of it, be that if you don't agree with her. Like I said to Fatima, there can only be so many rounds in a boxing match. :)

Now I must go eat some dinner. Khush raho!

Fathers and Daughters Fatima:

BuzurgoN ke saath adab se baat karna naik kaam hai. :) There are a few exceptions which you will figure out for yourself. And yes, you've proven you know how to respond to the Masadi.

We buzurgs don't mind watching the fight. We just think there should be a limit to how many rounds there are. Like Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier could not have gone on forever. But boogie on reggae woman. . .you've got it going on!

Fathers and Daughters MeiraJ,

a few words of advice. It is best not to engage masadi in longish arguments. Have you not heard that saying "never argue with an idiot, people watching may not be able to tell the difference."

I forget that every once in a while with more than a few Chowkies. :)

peace!

oh, greetings masadi. . baal bacha theek?!

Reforming Religious Fundamentalists Why do Indians go to "Indian" restaurants that are run by "Pakis???" Aqal baRi ke bhaiNs? Abey, if you hate "Pakis" so much then go to Indian restaurants run by your own kind. It's easy to find out within minutes of being there who runs the a restaurant.

There are worse things happening in this world, and you're going on about food. . . idiots!!!!

Reforming Religious Fundamentalists laddu:

did ajeya say it was haleem?

I was the one who suggested it might be haleem. It could have been something else.

If you are going to take it to this level, you have got to be one of the most deluded people.

Reforming Religious Fundamentalists yeah laddu, everything we do is a conspiracy against hindus even in "paki restaurants."

you are such a sick and sad prick.

Reforming Religious Fundamentalists oh, it was ajeya. i should have known.

and what you threw away sounds a little like haleem.

Reforming Religious Fundamentalists acha redflaggers don't have hamid's sick sense of humor. koi baat nahiN. :)

arjun, did you redflag hamid's post?

Reforming Religious Fundamentalists hamid no. 2

LOL the funniest thing I've read on Chowk today next to, next to, arjun's nonsense! :)
