  1. Yes, they still have town criers in Afghanistan. Meet the jarchi of Bamiyan: http://preview.tinyurl.com/mshz4c
  2. I'd be curious what Pakistanis think about my latest piece: Why the #Taliban won't take over #Pakistan. http://tinyurl.com/l6pcsw
  3. Some good news on the #India - #Pakistan relations front, for a change. http://preview.tinyurl.com/cwjvot

  5. #india: Throw the bums out? Indian voters are opting to throw things at them first... http://preview.tinyurl.com/ca584m
  6. #India "Mass suicide" of farmers in Chhattisgarh seems to be an annual stat, not 1,500 farmers quaffing kool-aid all at once. Still, sad.
  7. @baldaufji Who in Somalia would you give a coast guard too, tho? Seems like US could start by cracking down on foreign fishing and dumping.
  8. @snolen Just saw you asking me about gulf remittances last month. When I dug around it seemed that $ to Pak is up and no one could see why.
  9. @baldaufji Coast guard for Somalia makes sense if you buy that piracy is partly a response to foreign dumping: http://tinyurl.com/clcryc
  10. @baldaufji It was definitely a "foreign hand" - Switzerland. Gruyere cheese from Basant Lok did me in. That and Indian refridgeration.
  11. Back in Delhi after the long march and promptly got Delhi Belly. Ugh.
  12. Back in Delhi.
  13. A little blog side item from #longmarch: Pakistanis quote from US history ... http://tinyurl.com/c5j4mc
  14. This conclusion to the #longmarch has made me very happy to be a journalist, chronicling people's renewed hope: http://tinyurl.com/2ubyj
  15. I wish I could say Americans would ever be inspired to turn up at a 3:00 am party to celebrate "rule of law" and "independent judiciary."
  16. #LongMarch In Pakistan, a political struggle as old as James Madison -- it's all about checks and balances. http://tinyurl.com/c6nu4v
  17. #longmarch Pakistan’s crackdown on protests creates fissures in ruling party -- http://tinyurl.com/bhkmaq
  18. GEO quoted sources that a loud blast occurred due to leakage of gas in a house in Rawalpindi killing one person. http://tinyurl.com/azshkl
  19. PPP spokes Farhatullah tells me deal is just internet rumor; PML-N spokes also says no deal, ball with Zardari. I need me some anon sources!
  20. Went to Jinnah Super #longmarch rally in Islamabad. More people gathered today than yesterday, but still small, little more than a hundred.
