    Pakistan Pakistan Tea House

    Jansher Khan was one I know best, he was in Hong Kong a lot (place I grew up) winning the HK open a lot. I know the squash centre there quite well, its inside the big building next to star ferry I walked through a lot (once I got to see the amphitheatre organ up close which is one of the largest...

    Nice to see you here old chap. What are your thoughts on Atif Mian and Uzair Yunus? Which commentators do you follow these days (if any)?

    Pakistan Historical Military History of Pakistan

    I mentioned both you and Joe earlier in this forum number of times to Afif....when I felt points needed expanding and you two really are some of the best to do it I know. He will now see much fruit for his patience in waiting for you guys to re-appear and re-establish nicely here again :)

    SpaceX USA

    Like Yasar has explained, it depends on the temperature faced by the hydrocarbon (whatever it is, they are all C-H combos) in presence of oxygen. If the stochiometric mix is perfect, you will only ever see a blue flame, like that you see of a bunsen burner (when you swivel the air duct)....and...

    Historical The Partition, 1947

    It sometimes helps to look at conflict analysis elsewhere in world and then return back to the subcontinent to look at things again. It was a Tanzanian friend of mine for example who explained the tutsi-hutu conflict likely never would have gained real momentum, had the Belgians not invaded...

    Historical The Partition, 1947

    People of power/influence fomenting social tension to the point where a partition and ethnic cleanse (in border areas affected) doesn't mean inevitability all along. The same reason why what happened to East Pakistan/Bangladesh in 1971 was not inevitable. Things were manufactured by a precise...

    Regional Tensions in and Around Venezuela

    Not just Brazil. Venezuela will invite the ire of India too....many Guyanese are Indo-Guyanese and we have deep relations with the country as result....along with commonwealth connections too (Guyana is traditionally counted as part of the "West Indies", cricket links etc). Venezuela is not in...

    Pakistan Pakistan Tea House

    We could make this thread the Pakistani "hangout" one @Saiyan0321 , what do you think? This way it follows format of the other large subsections (TR, IND, INA, BD) where each has one thread where non-English content can be shared and discussed etc.

    Pakistan Air-Force Decoded: Pakistan's JF-17 Thunder

    India Coffee House

    Yeah Trent has made some great music as well, and it was very gracious of him to say the song essentially had become Cash's now. Cash has made a number of covers (it makes sense to take excellent songs and "cashify" them), just a few days back I came across his cover of "big iron", which he did...

    Historical The Partition, 1947

    However factual you feel your sentences are isn't the point. The point is what I've seen from certain Bangladeshis and their discussion reels...often with my own BD friends watching over my shoulder giving me some good context. It wasn't meant towards you personally. Who dares wins. The...

    Pakistan Remembering a war hero

    RIP to your uncle. Sad to hear. Will be keeping tabs on what saiyan gives us on these regiments later. Also just saw you are related to "rescueranger" (whom I also remember quite fondly), good stuff.

    Historical The Partition, 1947

    Countries have various interests. Autocracy is secondary or tertiary concern if a concern at all (since the non-autocrat, pluralist principles apply to your own country, not others, the constitution applies to your nationstate, not others). Take the US cultivated approach to PRC in the 2nd half...

    Historical 7th December 1941

    I have a friend who's dad served in the RCN. When I stayed with them a while during a visit, meeting his dad for first time and having lot of conversations in general.....he became very solemn one time when topic of pearl harbour came up (he had also visited the memorial)...still hurts to this...
