What's Going On?

Raheel!

So I guess we should explain ourselves for our lack of posts the past 2-3 months. Honestly it just boils down to us being busy. Creatively Raheel and I are trying to find who we are. Raheel hasn't posted in such a long time because he's been chosen to be a part of the reality show "Dance India, Dance" (above) and I have to say he's really got a gift, he's so nimble! I've been busy with my burgeoning athletic career as pointguard for Team Slumdog. Raheel and I have also been experimenting with our music and I think we're really close to our big break, I think 2009 is going to be a big year for "MadherChore and the MilfHunters". We're a pretty eclectic group, kind of like OutKast meets The Monkees meets Pussycat Dolls (I'm Nicole) meets Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan meets Bombay Vikings. But none of that excuses the fact that we've neglected all 19 of you who read this fine blog. We'll try our gosh darndest to do a better job of giving you whatever it is this site gives you. Seriously, we will try to post regularly and often. We'll also try to hone our skills and give you a better site to visit when you don't feel like doing something productive. Seriously, mazak ki elawa, we're going to try to do better.

I See Your Point

12 attackers besieged the convoy for 25 minutes and all 12 got away.

I've been hearing that there are some readers that took exception with the way I wrote about the Lahore situation. After re-reading the post I understand why you would feel that I was disrespectful about the situation and I probably should've edited it however I think that post was more for me than for you. The whole situation is intensely frustrating for me as a Pakistani. The shock and horror wore off quite quickly and a depression and indifference took over. The situation always gets worse and the government always ignores it. The Mariott Hotel bombing was supposed to be "the Pakistani 9/11" and Zardari and the rest of the government said "we'll catch the cowardly terrorists behind these acts" and everyone forgot about it. Then Mumbai happened and shocked everyone, I personally was concerned because of the risk of Hindu-Muslim riots which would've been disastrous but thank God that didn't happen (that is also one of the reasons why I treated it more seriously). But Mumbai happened and they started blaming the ISI and Pakistan and Pakistanis started getting angry that they were under attack because their government for some reason couldn't admit to the fact that some terrorists are born in Pakistan, that Pakistan has a problem with terrorism. And still, this situation had the opportunity to be a catalyst for change. Maybe finally after an attack on national heroes the Pakistani people would finally show anger towards the Taleban, Lashkar e Tayyiba, and the inability of the government to do anything about it. But now it seems like that's not going to be the case since there are already people blaming Indian intelligence and the Tamil Tigers. It's frustrating to me as a Muslim when other Muslims can't condemn the Taleban or Lashkar e Tayyiba or yes even Hamas because "they do good too." Just because you build tents for displaced earthquake victims or hand out food packages to your people doesn't erase the fact that you destroy families when you take the lives of innocent men, women, and children. The entire situation is immensely disappointing when the leader of Pakistan doesn't even address the people of Pakistan directly but instead leaves a prepared message to be released to the press; "we'll catch the cowardly terrorists behind these attacks." The ineffectiveness of this government would be comical if the leaders weren't a reflection of the people. So I'm sorry that I couldn't treat the situation with the importance that it deserved. Of course it's a big deal but I seriously doubt that it changes anything within Pakistan. I just hope I'm wrong.

1000 HITS!

Patakha!

The celebration here at the BihariShabab Institute of Excellence dragged on a little long and delayed us from promptly celebrating with you. No that's a lie and in this, the most blessed (bless-ed) of months, I feel like it's probably not good to lie so I'll just use fasting as an excuse. If it's good enough to delay criminal proceedings in France and get my father out of jury duty it's good enough to stop us from writing lots of (or any) high quality posts. So we probably should have had something planned. We could've raffled off autographed pictures of ourselves or given high-fives to each and every one of you. But we didn't. So, happy "K-day" as I've just now decided to call it because I haven't done this in a while and forgot how to conclude a post. I guess this is just like an awkward goodbye then. Aright then...see ya later...should we hug?

I'm Over It

Sorry I've been so distant from you all but I just recently purchased Madden '09 and my time has been consumed by John Madden like a turducken. Anyways, Karachi was cool, it's safer and cleaner than before and hopefully they'll keep improving the city. Unfortunately Karachi is a pretty boring city. There's really nothing that stands out as a tourist attraction and the things that are extraordinary for the residents of Karachi are pretty run of the mill for us over here in the states. So that's pretty much all I'm going to say about my experiences in Karachi. It was a good trip, a learning experience, and I wouldn't mind going back soon. Now then, let's get back to business. In the future you can expect content on BihariShabab to be of a greater quality and quantity. By the future I of course mean after September since we at the BihariShabab offices will be swamped during September. Stick around though, it'll be worth your time, like this teaser for Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince!

Peace Out Holmes

Me at the airport (dramatization)

I need you all to be strong right now. You knew this day would come. I have to go and you can't convince me not to. I'm leaving today to the motherland to spread the BihariShabab movement. You mustn't worry, we have a stellar group of interns donating pieces of theirs to this fine site....what's that? there are no interns? Well we got that new hit counter and I enjoy visiting the site to see the counter keep going up so you guys could come to the site for that...Oh and Raheel's still writing if you care (I know you don't but don't tell him, it'll hurt his feelings). Well I guess I should wrap this up, I'm going back after nearly a decade and I'm all excited and stuff. Expect some memoir/travelogue type posts once I return and in return I will expect no comments because you are the most apathetic readers on the internet, but I still love you. I'm pretty bad at goodbyes so I'm just gonna go the only way I know how. Through the magic of song.

BihariShabab Tutorials *UPDATE*

Because I don't know how to comment!

We don't have a way of checking how much traffic we get over here but we'd have to assume that we are second only to nakedbollywoodcelebs.com in the amount of hits that we get. Unfortunately our comments section doesn't reflect that so we realized that it's not because you're too lazy to comment or that there's no one reading this but it's because you don't know how to comment! So we'll teach you, it's easy.

You will need a few things before you can start commenting on how you sympathize with those poor bastards on Xposed. First you'll need an identity, which is your google/blogger account or you can use other IDs. If you're not technologically advanced enough to use gmail you can use wordpress, AIM, Livejournal, orTypepad usernames to comment. If you're an ICQ, MSN, Yahoo Chat user then screw you, this is America and get an America Online username.

Next, and this is the most complicated part so pay attention, Input your username in the corresponding field (if you are using a gmail username input it in the google/blogger field). If you are using a username other than google or blogger then you will be told to sign into the account you are commenting from. It's a terrible system and maybe one day we'll be able to change it. Anyways, after you input your username and verify the letters that they throw up on the screen and sign into your other account you can publish your comment and show your support or disdain. Or send us an Email at Biharishabab@gmail.com to let us know how we're doing, what we could do better, if you have any links you'd like to share with us, or if you want to go watch The Dark Knight again.

UPDATE: We changed the commenting format so you can go ahead and comment without needing to create a new gmail account or any of that. Anyone can comment now so you have no excuse.

BBQ Time!

Obviously I would choose this picture. I'm so predictable...Sigh.

As American Citizens it is our right to slack off on July the Fourth. Therefore there will be no posts today. Come back on Monday for the regular Bihari Shabab goodlyness. Have a safe and happy weekend. Later...

I loved this movie but could someone explain to me how Jeff Goldblum was able to be the president's advisor? also notice the Iraqi and Israeli flags flying together. I think "old trailers" is going to be a regular BihariShabab feature.

Oh, Why Hello There.

I've been busy with your bhabi

It has been a while since we last posted. The reason is that Raheelium is lazy and I was busy failing finals, Being held by Border Patrol, and pulling marathon PS3 sessions. While this isn't a true post I decided it was necessary to let all three of you who read this know that the movement lives on. We at BihariShabab are committed to occasionally updating this little known blog because we have a duty to provide you with BCs of the week, jab jee chahe IPL updates, and the opportunity to see Shahrukh Khan's buttocks. So as the summer months roll around there will be more posts than ever and most of them will be worth reading. Stay tuned and enjoy your time here with the BihariShabab where you aren't just a reader, you're a BC (Raheelium, we need to think of a slogan).

Leave Me Alone, I'm Studying.

You have no doubt noticed my absence in recent days. This is because I've gone on hiatus (pronounced; high-ate-us) for a week or so until my final exams are over. You see striving for mediocrity is a difficult task, one that requires that I stop writing mediocre blog posts. Fret not for I shall return and until then BC of the week is a tie between the pedophile from New Jersey (not Raheelium or the countless others but the one that was apprehended by the authorities) and in a surprising TIME magazine type twist, you, the reader, for not commenting on any of these damn posts. Congratulations, you are as much of a BC as a pedophile from New Jersey.
