The column on danial by Ejaz Mangi was a good one.

I guess soon the General will be handing over AQ Khan to his master!

Afterall AQ Khan is a greedy, selfish paki (some kinda traitor as Sheikh Rasheed would describe) who miraculously transferred nuclear reactors to Iran & Libiya ALONE!! clever guy indeed… n poor General has to clean up his mess now ;)

I think that people to people contacts are bringing people closer, but this process is slow and it will take time before we understand eachother. Meanwhile we should talk more about our common passions such as Bollywood, cricket and ecnomic boom. These things will lead us to understand eachother but we need a lot more than that to solve issues.

While looking for stories of Pakistani players in India I came across many Indian newspapers talking alot about Pakistan and mostly in negative tone. This contrast of Indian media is very confusing. On the one hand they never forget to repeat their famous line “We are same people divided by a line on a peice of paper” and then they also never forget to portray Pakistani society as evil barbarians ready to take over infidels. Pakistani media also covers India in the similar fashion. This thing needs to be change, we should learn to trust each other.

What you’re talking about is a good example of some of the stuff that Amitava Kumar covers in his book “Husband of a Fanatic”. It’s not a bad read, if in fact you haven’t already plowed your way through it.

As far as that picture goes, I haven’t a clue. I’m assuming that a game of “Truth or Dare” was involved though.

Sin: Why do you taunt me so? Reading a [non-dissertation] book is one of those mirages that will drive me to my death in the desert.

this is unrelated to your post. Are you the person who has a friend in Chi-town returning to Toyama City? Is this friend a Japanese female? If it is a Japanese female- I think I know her in a friend of a friend way.

Pakistan or India? Imran Khan (he is a superstar to me) or Abhishek Bachchan? Lollywood or Bollywood? I’m sorry to waterdown decades of religious and political conflict into a contest over lusty South Asian men and cinema. Please forgive me but I have to side with Abhishek and Bollywood. I’ve never seen a Lollywood film.

About the picture of inzi turning medieval:
LG (or some other consumer electronic manufacturer) in India is running an ad campaign on TV with Ganguly and Inzi dressed in battle gear while wielding oak. *silly*

About visiting India / Chennai:
An old friend from Chennai, now in Canada writes about his experiences at getting a visa to Pakistan:

Cheeni: Thanks for clearing that up about Inzi. Now if you can bit-torrent me a vidcap of that glorious commercial, I will start a Chicago Loves Cheeni chapter.
