I’m great, man. Getting old now. Remember you with a lot of respect and affection (obligatory no homo here? lol). But it’s been a while - I’ve become more active (in my case ‘more active’ means 1/2 comments per month!) here after ages.
Stay healthy, be well. How’s your life going...
This particular event is irrelevant however much you may comment because it’s only a road sign.
A road sign ultimately on the way to Taliban style Islam.
So why the angst?
A great man. Growing up, my relatives/ older folk used to refer to him in legendary terms. Even in those times of zero social media, 20-30 years after his death, his fame was extraordinary in the small towns in India (where I then lived). I can say he was part of the legends we’re taught/...
In India we used to envy the PTV serials that seemed to us a large cut above anything being done in India at the time. Dhoop Kinare? Tanhaiyan? Now not even sure of the names. But I’ll never forget the immortal Bakra Kishton Mein.
Nostalgia ain’t what it used to be….
For our younger Pakistani friends- who were the folk who opposed the creation of Pakistan the most?
Who called Jinnah Kafir-e-Azam?

One of the ironies of India (IMO only) is that our greatest leaders Gandhi ji and Sardar Patel came from Gujarat, AS did our biggest scoundrels (the current lot) . Bears thinking about.
Of course. Speaking of Hindus: Veer bloody Sarvarkar who is these days being celebrated as a hero by right wing folk in India. Collaborator.
RSS - The historical and philosophical daddies of the current ‘patriotic’ BJP/ Modi government. They literally sold out our freedoms fighters in the...
Good points. There are lots of nuances if we get into it. It makes for a fascinating debate and I’m sure you will have very valid points I can learn from, and hopefully vice versa. For example - who really won the Independence struggle and who were mostly collaborators?
But my argument in...
I am glad that Churchill criticised my fellow Hindus.
After all a tyrant dictator will criticise and hate (and also fear) those who oppose him bravely.
We fought his type and kicked him out of the country
But yes of course Churchill praised those who kissed his backside. You know who you...
I don’t log in often any more but I had to. I never thought a day would come when I’d read Pakistanis giving condolences to Indian armed forces casualties, while Indians (allegedly) are talking absolute inhumane crap around the deaths of their own warriors.
To the Indian forummers who are...
Oh no. When y'all's family et roaches as their afternoon delight, that's when y'alls 'genetic multiple choice gangbang mama creator" called out to his sistren cuzzin and said- "mine bait"
Nwt dat a jzzpaws wild know.
Interesting conversation. I guess I'm very intrigued to know what would be a comparative US/ India perspective. But much more than that I just wanted to day heya AM, how goes?
