Dear Dr Sohail
Thank you for your poem.
I like the word : HOLY OIL. This is new and appropriate description
of
the Bush intentions.
We all wish, people there and everywhere have a right to live their
own life, instead of that defined by Bushes and Ulemmas.
Best wishes to you for a new year. May your consciousness keep
glowing
just like this forever.
With Regards
Sukhpal

Dear Sohail
It is a wonderful poem conveying the message in a meaningful way. I
have written a short story on the same subject, which would appear in
my
forthcoming collection of short stries. The name of that story is "EYH
JUNGLE CUTTENEY WALA HEY". My travelogue by the name DUNEYA KAHEIN
JISEY got published early this year, which includes a chapter on you.
I am looking forward to some one who brings that to you.
Best wishes & a Happy New Year
Anwer Zahidi

Dear Dr. Sohail,
I thank you for accepting my request and
presenting yourself at the Punjabi Kalman da Kafla evening on 17th
of December. The person with your profile deserves much more than we
could offer. Being witness to a soul liberated from the torture some
burdens of religion, I did feel honestly honored with your presence.
I have a degree of regard for your ideas and attitude in which i
visualize a good deal of resonance of my own.
In your poem Dream of new Middle East
i see an author who truly feels for the death and destruction
brought about in the name of democracy; Having seen the bloody cruel
face of democracy, the ordinary people in Iraq and Afghanistan must
be yearning for anything but democracy.You conveyed the idea rightly
so.After all what price democracy?
Going through your book From Islam to
Secular Humanism i could retrace my very own intimate similar
experiences.I was also fortunate enough to have been delivered from
the yoke of shallow religion early in my teens. The person , like
your uncle, who steered me away from he/she god was a free thinker,
a poet, bohemian in true sense of the term. He used to drink, smoke
and fuck extensively-handsome person who lived short yet full life.
There was a reference in your book of Octavio
Pas' Alternating currents.- author and the book which i
have read with considerable reverence & interest besides his The
Bow and the Lyre. I am sure you must have read his
labyrinth of solitude; if not, i suggest you must.
We shall meet soon.
Balraj Cheema
