10 – You can trade an old 44 for a new 22.
9 – You can keep one gun at home and have another one when you’re on the road.
8 – If you admire a friend’s gun and tell him so, he will probably let you try it out a few times.
7 – Your primary gun doesn’t mind if you keep another gun for a backup.
6 – Your gun will stay with you even if you run out of ammo.
Kachee Goliyan is the new scene here in Pakistan. You can call them one of the best, actually, the best Pakistani comic as yet. They describe themselves as ‘wehshiness and metaphysics’ which according to me means that they are in their natural environment which is ‘wild’ and out of this world. They are care-free and uncivilized. They are JC and Sufi.
Kachee Goliyan is about two guys, my personal favorite JC and Sufi, the adorable one, who love to get dirty with society, world and the people. If you have read the comics you will know how they make you understand the social message as well as take it on the hilarious side. They tell you what is wrong and correct it with a funny statement. They just amuse you to death.
They love to interact with their fans. Oh, I mean the PANKHAS on Facebook (link given below) with comics like ‘Khali jagha pur karein’ and what not. You have to understand their thinking; they just want you to give the advantage of being completely out of your mind laughing plus understand their point of each and every comic as well, which they have successfully done.

Medigineers is the name of music band launched by him along with (medical doctor and engineer) friends and hence the name ‘medi-gineers back in 80s while studying in Karachi. These are also the early days that shaped the social media context for him ultimately resulting in what we have today as www.doodhpatti.com.
Along the way medigineers (Mehdi) graduated from NED, worked 18 years as a business professional in strategy formulation, operations planning, team building and quality assurance after doing MBA in Finance and Operations from Scranton-PA and held senior leadership positions in manufacturing, automotive, semi-conductor and consumer electronics industries working in North America and Pakistan. He is currently working as Global Quality Director for APC-Schnieder and is commuting between Boston and Karachi.
“Medigineers keeps me connected with my inner creative, communal and entrepreneurial instincts”, says Mehdi and thus culminates in launching projects such as ARRA International (during his early days in Karachi), Advanced Management Group and now Tohfay.com and Doodhpatti.com. Medigineers is a writer, singer and a poet (in humorous genre, a pupil of the great Late Dilwar Figaar himself) is often reciting mushairay in North America and Asia. Calls himself a teacher, a student of finance, economy and human behaviors.

We all know times are tough. So many people are unemployed, underemployed or underpaid, that any available job can look like a golden opportunity. That is, unless it’s one of these. From the obviously disgruntled boss to ludicrous requirements, these positions aren’t really suited for anyone except the self-loathing or the clinically insane.
1 – Now Hiring Fried Turkeys!
Hooray! If dinosaurs in people clothes and fried turkeys are getting jobs, the recession must be over!

One of the things I hated from the time sinceI started attending these shaadi waadi functions is that in these functions Our most important resource that is time is very much wasted.
I remember in these functions whether it’s Vailma, Shaddi, Mehndi or any other event relating to Shaadi one thing for which people always wait is fooood…. Yes!! I am also in the same league. Besides wishing dulha, dulhan the real main purpose of going to shaadi functions has always been you get to meet your relatives you haven’t seen for a long time. But above all you get to taste good food, the charghey, the bar b.q., biryani. Paratha Kabab, qaurmay and haalway..

This blog first appeared on http://blog.dawn.com on Nov 19th 2009 and is by Shahrezad Samiuddin. Shahrezad Samiuddin is a freelance writer.
How do you, indeed? Meera does the rounds via SMS jokes about her English. Meera helps a damp squib sink to the bottom of the Indian box office. Meera’s alleged husband turns up demanding his house and crores back. Meera predicts she’ll be linked to Musharraf and Clinton next (you wish, M). Meera is the opposite of Humayun Saeed, says Mahesh Bhatt with tongue in cheek. And most recently, Meera interviews photographer Tapu Javeri in her very own talk show.
If, after seeing that clip, you cringed and wrote ‘Not funny,’ or ‘Not her language’ under the link on Facebook, this blog is for you. And if you hooted and laughed, read ahead anyway.
