  • Anyone get to see this? I was going to try to see this but couldn't. It aired on HBO and there's supposedly a DVD out soon but until then wanted to hear feedback.

    September 7, 2005 at 1:22pm
    let me know if you get a hold of the dvd - i'd love to watch it! :)
    August 27, 2005 at 12:16pm
    I am dying to see this too :) I first heard about Born into Brothels when it premiered at the Human Rights Film Festival... Am trying to get hold of the DVD now.
 
  • I just saw this movie the other day and liked it. Didn't like it as much as Lost in Translation or the Steve Zissou movie, but enjoyed it nonetheless. I think on a second screening the color-schemes will pop out a little better than this first time around. Any other thoughts? p.s. I think Bill Murray is making a healthy comeback..this type of comedy seems to be his calling.

  • Allah does not take away the knowledge, by taking it away from (the hearts of) the people, but takes it away by the death of the religious learned men till when none of the (religious learned men) remains, people will take as their leaders ignorant persons who when consulted will give their verdict without knowledge. So they will go astray and will lead the people astray. (Bukhari)

 
  • Charity does not in any way decrease the wealth and the servant who forgives Allah adds to his respect, and the one who shows humility Allah elevates him in the estimation (of the people). (Muslim)

 
  • For far too long Urdu has kicked the Punjabi language like a linguistic punch-bag into submission to rural backwaters and its are speakers deemed to be a second uneducated class. Its hard time Urdu should learn who is boss! In Pakistan Punjabi doesn?t even have official language status...can you image a country where the main (majority) language of the state isn?t even official?? Even in Punjab, Punjabi is not recognized where almost 100% of the people can speak the language!! I say is there no Engli... Read More

  • My first day with you, Another heart I needed to love you more. As lovely as an emerald glow, Your tinsel face beaconed my sorrow. In my heart garden, I planted your memories And watered it with careful cries; This World is clumsy to cope with haste The Price of truth and it's bitter taste. All my way with your memories, The thirst of my love pained my throat And inhaled the breeze That touched your heart. Love gets multiplied, When there is a distance And I live, To suffer and think of you.

    August 27, 2005 at 4:13pm
    I think thats the test...we have feelings, and we are tested as to how to react to them. For example, giving up love, not letting anger get to you, controlling hate, etc. CHeck ...

    wow 200k lower. thats crazy though. i dont understand the reasoning though. is it just that a condo is more independently yours and a coop is just an obligation to the board....
