    You cannot take India out of the hearts of the people of Karachi

    Please control your speech. Criminal elements are criminal. Rest of the people only there to make a living. Some of the best people I know from KPK (from both Pashtun and non-Pastun tribes) as I stayed in KPK for 4 years. Enjoyed the Kawa, Afghani pulaos, and salted tikkas (no Neswar though...

    You cannot take India out of the hearts of the people of Karachi

    You sure like to play the devil sir :devil: As for that statement, I think you need to look in the larger context of rest of my post. My stance is purely neutral on this. Its best not to stereotype people in either positive or negative way. One can create an inferiority complex and the other...

    You cannot take India out of the hearts of the people of Karachi

    @SMC and Cardsharp Sometime back a Canadian born Chinese gave me a terrible headache. Had to go to great deal of length to sort out the matter. Don't want to get involved in the details as I'd like to keep it private. That doesn't mean I stereotyped Canadian Chinese as the same. Guy was...

    You cannot take India out of the hearts of the people of Karachi

    What's that supposed to mean. Only thing I meant is that in personal relationships I am interested in judging the person's personality. If guy is an ***hole then I'll walk away. There is no requirement for me to become lovey dovey with a guy just because he's Indian. And for that matter I have...

    You cannot take India out of the hearts of the people of Karachi

    Last time I visited was back in 1995 so don't know how situation has changed on the ground. I think watching too much propagandist sensationalist Indian media may have skewed the common mans thinking. In this respect Pak media is at least much better. We are focused on our own issues and common...

    You cannot take India out of the hearts of the people of Karachi

    Now that you mention it, my ex landlord of Indian origin failed to give me rent receipts for tax filing purposes. He had promised to do so but at end of term guy just disappeared :rolleyes: Lost $40 in tax savings because of that :cry: Guess there are bad apples everywhere.

    You cannot take India out of the hearts of the people of Karachi

    Can you quote any personal real life example of this? In Canada I have seen Pakistani Pashtuns friends with Indian Punjabis and playing cricket regularly without any stabbing involved.

    You cannot take India out of the hearts of the people of Karachi

    We don't need a pissing match here. Pani puri, bhel puri and sugarcane juice are famous which I believe is of Mumbai origin. Paan is popular though personally don't like it. Also not good for health if consumed excessively. Karachi, however, has its own unique culture which is amalgam of...

    Cyberwar: Iran's nuclear plants targetted by Stuxnet worm

    Anyone knows how vulnerable are Pak installations to this type of attacks? We should move systems to open source software. There is no telling what kind of backdoors are hidden in proprietary software like MS Windows. Also, from now on not only governments but script kiddies can devise these...

    You cannot take India out of the hearts of the people of Karachi

    Never had a habit of this thing though eaten it a few times (only the sweet variety :cheesy: ). Most youngsters these days keep away from it anyways, which is better for health. I think there was even a ban on supari for sometime (not talking about money for murder :D), but as always couldn't be...

    You cannot take India out of the hearts of the people of Karachi

    There are significant numbers of more ethnicities here: Punjabis, Memons, Gujratis, Bangalis, Uzbeks, Tajiks, Iranis, Parsis, Biharis. Long list. So I find it amusing at times when people try to categorize Karachiites as Urdu speaking when many infact are not.

    Collapsing local governance

    By Raza Rumi Recent floods have exposed the capacity of the state to govern, especially at the local level. The disintegration of local state is not a recent phenomenon. The continued experimentation with and frequent strangulation of local governance arrangements have led to a situation that...

    Let's hope Scotland yard succeeds in catching the culprits. Its impartiality will settle things once and for all. If no evidence against Altaf Bhai then good for him otherwise

    Cyberwar: Iran's nuclear plants targetted by Stuxnet worm

    Yup. All fingers are pointed in US Israeli directions. I hope they don't take things too far and set something on destruct mode and make it look like a nuclear accident by Iran.
