Freud and Jung and Their Secret Affairs Reply to # 102 of Charlie :

Dear Charlie what made you to change your Lahori or Pakistani name and considering yourself as Charlie..??

If you live in Canada for thousand years and if you use tons of fairy and lovely cream , and if you rub yourself thousand times with scholars like Dr Sohail ,and if you openly redicule Islam and Pakistan to please white men..even then White woman or man will never consider you as one of them..

Quran also says " Ala bayzikrillah e tatma e nyl Qalub " Verily hearts find peace in the rememberance of Allah.

One billion people find peace of heart by remembering name of Allah,..

On the other hand business of Dr sohail and his anti Psychotic pills thrive when morning after pills fail.

And when your heart needs solace and soothing effect , do you think , recitation of E = MC2 will give you peace of heart and mind.

Pakistan polls: Lights, camera, action ...
By Syed Saleem Shahzad

KARACHI - President General Pervez Musharraf's National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has cut off the political careers of hundreds of politicians with its investigations into corruption and misdeeds. Another several hundred potential politicians are ineligible because they are not university graduates.

This has created a vacuum which a number of show business personalities - many of whom failed in previous political forays - are willing to fill.

At a time when the military regime announced the date for national elections to the national assembly, senate and provincial assemblies - October 10, just four days short of three years since Musharraf seized power in a bloodless coup - the famous Pashtun film heavyweight (physically as well as at the box office), Musarat Shaheen, threw her hat into the political ring.

She will contest in the Dera Ismail Khan constituency in North West Frontier Province, a political fiefdom of the Jamiat-i-Ulema-i-Islam (JUI), whose leader there, Maulana Fazalur Rehman, hails from the Taliban school of thought. His father, Mufti Mehmood, was once chief minister of the state. In the elections of 1997, Musarat Shaheen ran against Rehman, and they both ended up losing. For October's polls, the actress says that she will try to compromise with Rehman for the sake of their political careers. There has as yet been no response to the offer.

The hero of many Urdu films, Kamal Haasan, has also announced that he will re-enter politics. He has joined the Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf led by cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan. Kamal contested elections in 1985 from Karachi, but was heavily defeated by Professor Usman Ramz, a leader of the Jamaat-i-Islami. After that defeat Kamal announced his retirement from politics.

Artists are considered sensitive folk in any society. They often prefiguring future change in their work. One of the modern world's greatest revolutions was the French Revolution, in which the contribution of artists was vital. This is not the case in Pakistan. Film artists have dallied in politics, often contributing "colorful" scandals. But while they have become social climbers, they have never been agents for change in a positive manner.

One of the country's first political scandals occurred 1963-64 in Dacca, East Pakistan (now Bangladesh), when the governor of East Pakistan, Abdul Munim Khan, convened a Pakistan film festival. The youngest member of Field Marshal Ayub Khan's federal cabinet and foreign minister, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, was the chief guest.

The doyen of Pakistan's show biz writers, A R Slote, recalls that the festival was rife with gossip that the beauty of her time, Zeba, had been seen running semi-naked out of Bhutto's room. A famous writer, the late Inam Durrani, handed Zeba a shawl to cover herself. Once the festival ended, Bhutto was said to have taken Zeba to Calcatta (now Kolkata, in India) to continue their fun.

Zeba later married film star Mohammed Ali, while Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto became president and the first civilian chief martial law administrator. The Zeba-Bhutto friendship bore fruit for Mohammed Ali, and by the early 1970s he was said to be the richest and most socially elevated person in the country. So much so that during the second Islamic summit held in Lahore in the early 1970s, Mohammed Ali's mansion was used by King Faisal of Saudi Arabia. When Bhutto was removed and imprisoned by General Zia ul-Haq in 1977, Mohammed Ali sent him food in Hyderabad jail.

It was just a blessing of nature that Zia ul-Haq's child Zain Zia was a fan of Mohammed Ali, and so the actor was able to become close to the dictator. After Zia's death in a plane accident in 1988, the Pakistan People's Party came into power, but premier Benazir Bhutto did not draw close to Mohammed Ali, who instead used his Zia connections to court Nawaz Sharif of the Pakistan Muslim League. When Sharif came into power in 1990 he appointed Mohammed Ali his advisor on culture.

Melody queen and legendary singer and actress Madam Noor Jehan was one of the most colorful and controversial characters on the subcontinent until her death at the age of 74 in 2000. According to her birth certificate, she was the daughter of a prostitute from Punjab. Her unique melodious voice captivated the entire region, from Nepal to India, from Kabul to Myanmar.

A prominent personality of the Pakistani newspaper industry, who happens to be the biggest art collector in the country, told Asia Times Online that former Afghan monarch Zahir Shah was a staunch fan of Noor Jehan's work, and he collected all of her movies of the 1930s and 1940s. He apparently hid them in secret shelves in the palace in Kabul, so well in fact that not even the Taliban could find them.

Noor Jehan had several husbands and many friends during her life. One of her first "catches" was Nazar Mohammed (a Pakistani test cricketer) and father of veteran Pakistani opening batsman Muddasir Nazar. One of Noor Jehan's former husbands, Shaukat Hussain, tells in his memiors Noor Jehan and I, how he caught Nazar and Noor Jehan in a compromising situation. When Nazar saw Shaukat he jumped onto a roof and broke a leg - depriving Pakistan of a batsman for ever.

Noor Jehan was the topic of many books, and her sex scandals with former military dictator General Yahya Khan made front page news. In the Hamoodur Rehman Commission report into the fall of Dacca in 1971 (leading to the establishment of Bangladesh), Noor Jehan's role in breaking up the country receives a whole chapter.

She is cited as Khan's great weakness. Like Nero fiddling while Rome burned, at the time that there was civil war and chaos in the eastern wing of the country, Khan was busy with Noor Jehan. The then Intelligence Bureau boss submitted his statement before the commission that he asked Mrs Khan to intervene in the affair, but without success.

Noor Jehan is also accused in the report of being an Indian spy. A former director general of the Intelligence Bureau and later leader of the Pakistan People's Party (PPP), Rao Rasheed, said that there were strong suspicions that she was anti-Pakistan, but no one dared to do anything as she was the darling of many dignitaries. She was also believed to be the patron of many underworld kingpins, and whenever any of them got into trouble, she was their licence for immunity.

Nowadays, at socialite parties, Zil-i-Huma, the daughter of Noor Jehan, claims that Musharraf is her best friend ...

Faryal Gohar, a TV artiste, rightly terms Musharraf her mentor as he elevated her to the position of ambassador at large. The general is said to have been a fan of hers for many years, long before he became chief executive of the country, and now she has been made a special United Nations envoy. Faryal's vacuum was immediately filled by another TV actress, Marina Khan, who is the new ambassador at large. In the past, only prominent businessmen held this position.

Tariq Aziz is the only actor to have become a member of the national assembly. He was a Marxist, and in the 1960s he represented the hardline Marxist lobby in the PPP during Z A Bhutto's time. He was always the hero of the proletarians in his films. "What actually happens with the poor in this country, happened with my films - they all were flops," admitted Aziz in an interview.

Aziz raised his voice during the Bhutto regime over labor abuses, but he was targeted and arrested. After Bhutto was removed from office and subsequently hanged in 1979, Aziz reduced himself to anchoring a quiz program, which became very popular due to his extraordinary oratory skills.

Aziz was elected on the Pakistan Muslim League ticket to the national assembly. He led a procession that attacked the supreme court to mark solidarity with then premier Nawaz Sharif. When Sharif was removed, he was one of the first to announce a parting of the ways with Sharif, but the army regime put him behind bars nevertheless for the storming of the supreme court. He subsequently helped Musharraf at a public appearance, but this drew widespread criticism as he was an ex-convict, and Musharraf ditched him, but he has said that he will contest the October elections.

So now Aziz, Kamal and Musarat Shaheen will represent show business in the polls. Whether they, and other stars who seek to rule the hearts of the new rulers by more indirect methods, can influence the course of the country's politics, as did some of their precessors, only time will tell.

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful Writer of this article seems like a disturbed and a revengeful soul.

Insincere NGOs who make money in the name of women rights in Pakistan and try to create further disturbances and divisions among oppressed human societies..

Use of the name of Allah in the title is also highly cunning and mischievous..

It reminds us of the book written by Ahmadiyya group " murder in the name of Allah" ..

Can we call murders of George W Bush as.. " murders in the name of Jesus" ..

Killing of cheating partners is a universal phenomena,..

Some men kill their beloveds or wives , when they find them sleeping with some one else,..some tolerate it and let it go,..some go for divorce,.,..,...

Lot of men in the western world killed their cheating wives or girl friends , some smashed their heads with base ball bats , some cut both of them to pieces,..some poisoned them,..some fed them to dogs or pigs..??

Some females also destroyed their cheating male partners, through various vicious techniques,..

It is written no where in Quran to kill cheating wife,..Islam clearly talks about recovery from such addictions or bad habits and to save marriage and family at the end..

Killing in rage is a personal or cultural phenomena and it depends on the temperament or level of attachment of a lover with his / her beloved ,..

Why the West has invented such terms as "honour killings" , and why they spread it all over the world..??

To them women rights are that men should be able to seduce her without any interference from the family , give her few drinks or drugs, do what ever you want to do with her, and next morning dump her and go for a new hunt,..and let the previous one deal with her pregnancies, abortions, STDs or emotional scars,..etc..

The Psychology of Mothering Dear Dr Sohail,

I am glad that your meeting with Charlie was useful.

I would like to invite you to Pakistan in near future, and we may refresh our memories of Kohat , Peshawar etc..

Will that be OK for you..??

The Psychology of Mothering Re:# 264

Dear Dr Sohail,

My analysis is based on the information,which I got from the books you wrote or translated, your articles and your interacts.

You may not be even aware of your own risky behaviour in life.

Regards,

The Psychology of Mothering Brief psycho analysis of author , which we will call "patient" in the following analysis .

Patient was born in a traditional family based Muslim society and due to some tragedies and untreated mental illnesses in his family he suffered from traumas and abuse.

His parent society and his family fed him well , and as he had good memory and rote skills hence he became a medical doctor, which was a highly respected position in that society.

Patient had hidden grudges against that society , and he could not cope with those repressed thoughts of revenge, at his own.

Some how patient came to Canada, and again, due to his memorizing skills and rote abilities he became a psychiatrist.

He started his practice in a small lonely town , near Toronto.

In the beginning he kept his faith in God and did some good jobs for humanity by translating some important stuff of psychology and psychiatry in his native language Urdu.

In the mean time when he saw doolars , alcohol,drugs and other related indulgences, then he got tempted, and decided to go for them.

He also needed escape mechanisms to cope with the harsh and alien realities of the weather and culture of his adopted society.

The only hurdle in his way was his belief in God, hence as a defence mechanism, and to supress his guilt, he denounced his faith publicly.

Due to his delusional disorder, he thought in this way he might become famous and immortal in this world.

Due to brain damage and the bad company he was keeping, he started showing signs of untreated psychosis and he started considering himself as a prophet of the new age.

He grew long hair, and felt grand and declared himself as a great brain of 20th century who was going to finish his parent society through his write ups and dialouges etc..

In the mean time his life and his immediate surroundings showed signs of change, decay and confusion , and as he couldn't face that loss, hence as a second defence mechanism he came up with these generalized statements that the realms of religion, family values and nationalism were decaying.

If patient keep his present habits and his present company then chances of his recovery are minimum.

If patient repents, and forgives his parent society and reconnects to his roots then there are chances of his survival and peace of mind.

Patient can serve his parent society better by continuing translating pure science and psychology subjects, without making futile attempts of destroying the very fabric of faith and family values etc..

The Psychology of Mothering Dear Dr Sohail,

I didn't read your article as from the heading one can tell about its contents.

While sitting in the freezing lonely corner of Canada , your such write ups cannot even produce minor ripples in huge traditional family based, warm and pulsating societies...

All I can request from you is that please don't give your personal address and contact information to every aera ghera nathoo khaira..

Today's world is a dangerous place and some day some one may get you.

You never know who is hiding behind nicks like "charlie' or sweet "miss mona" kind of people ...I hope you understand and stop going on blind meetings..

One can tell from your photograph that you were abused by life , and you are a vulnerable displaced soul..who needs phycho therapy and help..so you need to have mercy on yourself my friend.

Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On very intelligent write up

New US Strategy Needed in Afghanistan and Pakistan There is a Revolution in Pakistan for ordinary Pakistanis,..and following report is hinting about it:

Flashy lawmakers take seats in Pakistan By LAUREN FRAYER, Associated Press Writer
Wed Mar 19, 2:34 PM ET

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Gold-trimmed SUVs idle outside parliament. Among new female lawmakers, black Muslim veils are out and Gucci bags are in.

Civilian rule has returned to Pakistan, and its politicians have come back with bling.

Last month's elections ushered into parliament a new crop of business leaders and wealthy elites opposed to U.S.-backed President Pervez Musharraf's one-man rule.

The new body is headed by followers of slain former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto — secularists who have vowed to fight Islamic extremism.

Many are also veterans of a series of civilian governments that nearly bankrupted the country in the 1990s — an uneasy reminder of the graft accusations that hounded Bhutto and her husband, nicknamed "Mr. 10 Percent" for alleged kickbacks pocketed while his wife was in office.

Eight years after Musharraf took over in a military coup, they're back in power, accessories and all.

"It's their cars, their fashion. They have all the latest models," said Sana Asad, a Pakistani journalist covering parliament. "They're richer and more secular."

"Perhaps it's because they're connected to the previous administrations — the wealthy elites," she said.

Parliament's parking lot was crowded Wednesday with new Mercedes and Toyota sports utility vehicles festooned with flashy tire rims and hood ornaments. Women in bright colors clogged past in heels and huge designer sunglasses. Bodyguards fanned out.

The Feb. 18 elections saw a hard-line coalition of religious groups lose control of the country's northwest along the Afghan border, and only six Islamists win seats in parliament, compared to 68 in the previous legislature. Many conservative-minded allies of Musharraf also lost their seats.

In the last parliament, about a dozen female lawmakers from the religious alliance wore body-shrouding black veils that concealed everything except their eyes.

But as parliament elected its first female speaker Wednesday, just a single lawmaker — one of 74 women in the 342-seat house — covered her face with a light beige wrap. Others wore traditional flowing gowns, some with bare heads and others with their hair only partially covered by loose scarves.

Fehmida Mirza, a medical doctor, is the first woman elected as National Assembly speaker in Pakistan's 60-year history.

Half a dozen other female lawmakers touched her shoulders as Mirza, wearing a diamond nose ring and an elegant lavender tunic embroidered with silver rosettes and a deep V-neck, rose to take her oath.

"We are writing a new chapter in history," she said, diamond-studded pearl droplet earrings and a pouf of dark hair springing out from under her sheer veil. She repeatedly touched her forehead in a gesture of thanks to her peers a thick gold bracelet sliding down her arm.

"Benazir's dream has come true," said fellow party member Farzana Raja. "We have proven we're not only chanting slogans for women's empowerment — we're taking practical steps," she said, shoving the designer sunglasses back on her head and letting her headscarf slip off.

Nasim Zehra, a Pakistani analyst and fellow at Harvard University's Asia Center, cited "a different texture in politics now."

"The orientation of this parliament is different, with a different kind of people with different backgrounds," Zehra said.

On Wednesday, many male lawmakers arrived in designer clothing, including one who accented his tailored black suit with a bright pink tie. There were notably fewer beards and traditional turbans than in the previous parliament.

In the parking lot, Khaled Mahmood Javed sat behind the tinted windows of his shiny sedan flying the flag of Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party.

His brother, Rai Ghulam Murtaza, is an incoming lawmaker who first served under Bhutto in the 1980s.

"A lot of them are businessmen, and none are poor. They're big men — important men — and they're less religious too," Javed said of the new breed of legislators.

Pakistan has seen annual economic growth of about 7 percent for the past five years — much of it due to cash sent home by Pakistani expatriates. Murtaza was among them, his brother said.

"My brother lived abroad for the past 15 years. He's a dual citizen of Canada," Javed said proudly.

Many of Pakistan's top politicians are feudal landlords. Others amassed fortunes in Pakistan's booming banking and telecom sectors while they sat out politics under Musharraf.

Not everyone is amused.

Ameerul Azim, a spokesman for Pakistan's largest Islamic party, Jamaat-e-Islami, which along with all but one Islamist faction boycotted the February polls, called the new lawmakers' show of wealth "an insult to the poor people of Pakistan."

"These people today proved that they have no sympathy for the poor," he said.

Even Shah Mehmood Qureshi, a Bhutto loyalist and contender for prime minister, acknowledged the lawmakers' ostentatious display of the trappings of wealth could raise doubts about their commitment to solving the problems of ordinary Pakistanis.

"Austerity should be exercised, given the economic compulsions that we have," Qureshi told Dawn News television Tuesday. He said the country faced "huge challenges," with high inflation and power shortages.

Economic hardships persist for most Pakistanis. Millions live in poverty despite the recent growth. The country has yet to fully overcome a severe shortage of wheat flour — a staple here — and fuel prices have spiked sharply in recent weeks.

Outside parliament Wednesday, policemen sat in clusters under pine trees, watching new lawmakers parade past multicolored banners lining the drive up to the legislature's marble pillars.

"Rich candidates always do better. They have more connections," said one officer, lazily picking at wild dandelions. A policemen earns just over $100 a month.

"Islam doesn't allow women to unveil themselves, but the atmosphere in Pakistan is changing day by day. You can see it in the fashion here," he said, requesting anonymity because he was not allowed to speak to the media.

"It's a bit of a charade, but it's also a big sign of democracy and hope," he said.

Who has time to read or write such a long report about dead and murky events of past..

Talk about today's realities...are feudals of ANP going to declare feudals of your Ahmadiya community as Muslims again..or will they put them at par with other feudal pirs of Punjab...??

Are you getting any money from your community for such internet work ,when you take this much time off from your regular work as an attorney..??

A great mind like you must strive to improve condition of your own class , rather than speaking on the behalf of feudal holy owners of Pakistan..

Just by associating with holy or honorable feudal people,..one cannot become holy or honorable feudal
