I looked down at the moose lying on the side of the highway. Despite being dead, the animal had definitely seen better days. In fact, it was a God-awful mess. By the looks of the strips of fibre-glass lying around, I guessed that the animal had been hit by an 18 wheeler. There’s not much [...]

Alright, here’s the story. Remember that stand-up comedy bit I did a few weeks back. Well, as it turned out, there was a TV producer there that night. He called me a couple days later, said he thought I was pretty funny, and asked me if I wanted a part in a sitcom he was [...]

The other day, I noticed that my toilet wouldn’t stop running. Before someone told me that I’d better go catch it, and being conscious of water conservation, I decided I’d better see if I could fix it. Most toilets over here are the type with the knob that you pull up from the centre of [...]

In a speech on the “War on Terror” at the National Endowment for Democracy last week, George Bush said the following: …Islamic radicalism is elitist, led by a self-appointed vanguard that presumes to speak for the Muslim masses. Bin Laden says his own role is to tell Muslims, quote, “what is good for them and [...]

Sunday night, I went with some friends to the PAF Museum parking lots, which are serving as the drop point for disaster relief donations from Karachi citizens. I didn’t exactly know what to expect as we headed up there, but I was hoping to help out in some way, however small. When we arrived, we [...]

Yes, folks, I am fine. Thank you for your concern. Karachi is just about as far as you can get from the epicentre of the massive earthquake that occurred yesterday morning in Northern Pakistan. But enough about me. The human toll of this natural disaster will be immense. The count today sits at 18,000, but [...]

Does this scare the crap out of anyone else? Nabil Shaath [Palestinian Foreign Minister] says: “President Bush said to all of us[In June 2003]: ‘I’m driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, “George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan.” And I did, and then God would tell me, “George, go and [...]

Folks, I have driven past your house hundreds of times, but it was only recently, while walking up Badar, that I had the time to notice the artistic travesty that is your home. For whatever reason, you decided to create the illusion that three metallic horses have burst through the front wall of your house. [...]

Last night, I was walking home from a friend’s place when a rumbling, old truck pulled up beside me. I was slightly conscious that I was carrying more money than I usually do when I’m out walking, but I wasn’t too worried. After all, I have a distinct size advantage over most Pakistanis. So I [...]

Adamjee: Actually, I learned to play bridge in junior high-school, I just didn’t have anyone to play with. Me: Yeah, I don’t remember many kids playing bridge in grade 9. Adamjee: So I ended up teaching my servants to play. Me: Ha. You taught three, illiterate house-hold servants to play bridge with you? Adamjee: Yeah. [...]
