    At Naveed,
    My dear, please , cut the crap! will you ?
    and unnecessary insecurities
    Desi will do this for you and desi will do that for you.
    I would raise my children “independent ” and they will not be dependent on desis.
    May be we both think differently.
    About seven years ago I was in karachi by mistake
    and my car ran over a rock in a parking lot near clifton. Three guys came running to my help and I was thinking why were they hanging out there and weren’t at work.
    I offered them some money and they refused it but that just a beauty of the country of my birth.
    But do I regret? Hell no!

    Guys- Get over the guilt-trip that’s denying you from enjoying a really good performance. Also enough of this “is this really poetry” elitism. The crowd in the room clearly disagreed with all the tightwad critics here.

    Love it!

    ShahidnUSA should just wait till he or his family is forced to pay the price for being a Pakistani–something he is so desperately trying to escape. Sadly, the desi people he despises might not be able to come to his aid then.

    I think this is cheap emotionalism and jugat baazi. As poetry it has little meaning and in presentation it is quite vulgar.
