The mullah versus the chief

Time to sound like a total self-absorbed douchebag.

So I wrote an article for a Pakistan-based online magazine run by a few acquaintances called 'The Green Kaleidoscope". (On a side note, I personally find the title of the magazine fascinating, although the word "kaleidoscope" is a total bitch to spell.)

My article, one of many rather fantabulous pieces in the April 2009 issue, is called "The mullah versus the chief" and takes you, the esteemed and glorious reader, into the near future where CJP and Mullah Fazlullah are locking horns over legal matters.

Okay, enough navel-gazing for now. You can read the article here.

Also, you can read the entire magazine (which, admittedly, has articles better than the late night rant I sent in) here. Bookmark it, and check it once every month for updates.

Comments:
haha...brilliant as always...might i suggest you file your application for political asylum also ..
 
Yah, read this magazine too. As if we dont have enough junk from the blogosphere to keep ourselves updated about the utterly useless stuff and burrying our professional work into an ever deeper shit.
 
"So jao warna bao a jaye ga" was a classic. Only you could have used it so perfectly.
 
yar babar aap kon hein? can you buy me a beer?
 
nice one... very sharp!
 
:) brilliant.
 
Sohaib mian I have commented on your blog many times and I am your regular reader ( and must admit , a big fan of your writings ) but you don't seem to remember me. Anyways, I can certainly buy you a beer, but keep in mind that I am not gay.
 
Babar bhai I remember yar that you comment often. But I don't remember if you've ever told me about yourself, which is why I asked. Aap kon hai, kia karte hein, kahan hotay hein, shadi shuda hein, biwi bachay kaise hein, zindagi mein kia masroofiat hein, etc etc.

You know, the fun's in the details. :D
 
BTW you may yourself be some kind of a peer because as soon as your this rather prophetic piece came out the Sufi threw his first stone at the CJ by declaring SC unislamic.
 
Yar asal main main aik munkasir ul mizaj banda hon is liye apne bare main zaayda bat nahin karta. Waise mashallah pichle 7 sal se shadi shuda aur aik 17 maheene ki bachi ka bapp hon. Chalo agar app ne pooch hi liya hai tu bataye deta hon ke main aik nam nihad postdoctoral rsearch fellow hon aur theoretical physics se shauq hai. Pehle NY ki aik university se Ph.D. hasil ki thi aur us ke bad ajj kal Dublin main hota hon.
 
I think anyone could have predicted Sufi sahab's taking of SC. No need for a pir there. :p

Tobah tobah, itni intellectual audience hai meri? I am stunned actually! And theoretical physics sounds super-exciting. I myself watched a documentary on string theory and, well, didn't understand much of it. So bravo to you.

Congratulations on your daughter btw!

PS - agar mulk ke haalaat theek hojayein you should consider being a professor at the new and fancy LUMS school of science and engineering. :D
