most people know that hyderabadi urdu is an entirely different breed of urdu. hyderabadis hack verb tenses. "naako" and "hao" are staples in our conversations. and "parsuun" never means "the day before yesterday." the word "dani" is used for container or jar. so a "namak dani" is a jar with salt in it. a container with sugar?

I read a great book, a compilation by Sara Nickles. It has some of the greatest American authors and excerpts from their work. The book centers around vices that are typically attributed to writers. Hence the title which is the same as the journal title. It has works by Bukowski, Miller, Nin, Nabokov etc. If you ca n find a copy I highly recommend it.
June 9, 2005 at 10:02ami didnt want to chance having to edit the title so i erred on the side of caution. i am glad i was able to create a forum in which we could test these little theories out (im n...

Is it that troublesome to let people claim their national heritage by some other nations! Today my Persian co-worker smashed down the Arab nationalistic existence. His claim for US, ARAB is that we are a combination of different cultures and we belong to different ancient civilizations such as the Phoenicians and Babylon?etc. He said there is no such thing as Arab nation, and Arabs are people of the desert, and basically Bedouin! How did he come to this conclusion while Arabs share the same history, language,... Read More
June 25, 2005 at 6:28pmIt is true that the Arabs of today are a mixed of many civilizations, but so what? That's what makes things even more interresting as you go from one Arabic country to the other...

In almost all cultures spanning all continents, the theory of relativity is the fairer your skin, the prettier you are. This applies to both genders though the buzz is around the female. In some cultures, elder relatives can be brutal about sharing their opionion on the person's beauty a.k.a. fair complexion. Can people share their experiences on how they were made to feel and whether this prejudice did skew their outlook on beauty? There was an ad in Pakistan for this creme which basically was a testimoni... Read More
June 11, 2005 at 6:00amI agree with you there on the looks department Irfani...they are not every thing...at the end complexion matters less then what the person is from within.
June 10, 2005 at 9:56amSoph- I agree. I think it is unfair when people criticize others taste/preferences. Some of the attraction is innate others a choice. For example, despite my neutral disposit...

My friend and his wife stayed in a hotel and got a bill for ninety bucks. He screamed, "Ninety dollars?, for what?" The desk clerk said, "For room and board sir." My friend said, "Room and board? We didn't eat here." The clerk said, "It was here for you. If you didn't get it, it's your fault." My friend said, "You take forty dollars. I'm charging you fifty dollars for fooling around with my wife." The clerk said, "I never touched your wife!" My friend said, "It was there for you."

Isn't it so great, girls, when we can go into a store and find clothes brand new on sale for $5? I just found shorts for $4.99 (the sun is so hot it drove me in there and made me sooooooooo thankful I have not to worry about the hijab issue. Frankly I don't know how there isn't stories about Hijabis passing out in Saudi, Pakistan, and Egypt and such. I give them credit 'cause it's really hot there too. Probably it happens everyday, Hijabis pass out so it's just not even news anymore...hmm...). But I digress! ... Read More
