Salaam I just wanted to recommend the following book- it is a tremendously good read... "War Talk" by Arundhati Roy- it is a collection of very powerful essays that deal with the so-called war against terror, nuclear power, Muslims massacered in India etc. Roy won the Booker Prize for her novel "The God of Small Things"- also a good read. For those who do check the essay collection out or the novel- enjoy!

Missy - looks like we're still online only pals.. Anyway just wanted to say Happy Birthday for Saturday although wanted to wish it to you in person. It was too crowded to find anyone there! Hope you had a good one. Tell us about your day!

Salaam I was really surprised (and happy) to see so many members in this village. I think that the only way people can really appreciate the country is by actually living there and experiencing it for oneself. There are far too many misconceptions about life there... I grew up in the capital and went to Manarat Al Riyadh. I miss the school and the city immensely. Although there were things that I found frustrating (having to call a limosine to go places being one of them), the number of things I liked about li... Read More

Quite a few of my female muslim friends, I am sad to say have come across "muslim" men of deplorable character who take advantage of them (i.e. harrass them verbally or worse) and then blame it on the women for dressing inappropriately while using Islam as a scapegoat for not being able to control their urges (e.g. they should be wearing Hijab, etc). What's worse is that some of the females (often like rape victims) blame themselves even if they were dressed fairly conservatively. I am of the opinion that ... Read More
May 6, 2005 at 5:54amShazia04, that article was shocking. Are we living in medieval times that these types of activities should be going on in courtrooms? That is absolutely sick! It is the same thi...
May 5, 2005 at 3:01pmThat is absolutely horrific and makes me want to throw up. These bastards should be castrated, publicly flogged, dismembered before letting them go to rot out the rest of their...

Charsi This would have you wondering what i mean by this. It could be one of two things. 1. The literal term Charas as in dope. 2. The karai tikka maker in "namak mandi" peshawar pakistan. I am interested in #2, have you ever been to charsi, how was your experience?

May 5, 2005 at 7:53amOOo thanks Getuppa, i was reading it very wrongly. so is it a pre requisite, hmmmmmm well, norah jones has to like herself, so i dont see what the problem is here.
May 5, 2005 at 6:18amhm a strange prerequisite. Would be a bit weird if potential wife was as in love with norah tho dont u think....?? Shouldn;t u be relieved you have less competition? ;o)

Who do you think the most overrated celebrities are? Here is my list: -Britney Spears (she can't sing for s**t!) -Jennifer Lopez (she is really not that pretty and can't sing either....her body is unproportionate and she never wears lipstick, which she badly needs) -Jennifer Aniston (she looks just plain ugly to me nowadays, no wonder her and Brad are no longer together) Feel free to comment or contribute.
June 7, 2005 at 4:02pmJessica Simpson and Paris Hilton are extremely overrated...neither of them have any talent but got famous for being "hot" blondes with dumb reality shows that are about as real ...
June 4, 2005 at 10:15pmDude, all celebrities are overrated. It's futile to list all of them. Of coure, there are exceptions, I really liked Russell Crowe, and Tom Hanks (he can't make a bad movie). ...

Any opinions about these 2 schools? I'm curious what their rep is outside the NY area. Particularly whether people think there's a big difference between the 2 or if they're perceived to be the same. I've gotten mixed reviews either stating that they're pretty much the same or others say columbia is in a different league. On rare occasion I've found NYU to be better (by ranking or otherwise).
May 13, 2005 at 9:34pmThanks to everyone for your feedback. I understand the point of choosing a school based on what I want to do however I don't have very much choice. I don't want to go full tim...
May 11, 2005 at 1:47pmyeah i would take the rankings w/ a grain of salt...i think the WSJ ranked dartmouth (tuck) as number one, and that doesnt make a lot of sense to me. i would visit both schools...
May 10, 2005 at 3:08pmDamm Yaar!!! Some recent choices just made me feel like a dummy for a sec cuz of the list in that link. hahaha. No but I've personally always stayed away from rankings, and have...

Hey Naseebers, dream come true for many of you. This is a product description from a Brtisih website with address mentioned below. The best lie detector of the century! If one of your mates is prone to telling the odd porky pie then they're in for a shock - literally! Strap your victim in and follow the setup procedure, after that's out of the way you can get on with the questioning and if they tell a lie the machine will zap them with a well deserved shock! They may be able to get away with a few small ... Read More
