Well done Sir, You have done it again...hahahhaha...You are a star. (Please do add a little in put by amm awam.... "Mera sab to wada masla bijli hai".

'Is that a drone missile in your hand, liberal scum?' couldn't stop laughing , simply brilliant

Many have said this but I'll say it again: This man is a genius at unabashed satire. Viva NFP!

awesome...

awesome...

good read... "Please talk to the phone" is like best and most suited

Can't stop laughing. What a refreshing start to the day! Thanks NFP!

genius !!

HAHAHAHAHA.. what a way to start off the day! Cheers and kudos mate!

Shaheed if playing against non-Muslim countries

Shaheed if playing against non Muslims team haha

witty.

Well done NFP once again good article. you are my favourite

short and crisp... lovely

short and crisp....great job

Burst out laughing. Cant stop even if I think of it. Wonder when you will write an article on what these religious guys think of Nadeem Paracha

Wiat.. If you look closely it is a star! Oh wait, Is that Najam Sethi, the American Pithhoo?? if you look closely there is an eye on the face of Misbah, a freemason sign.. Oh who am I kidding, I am a Yahoodi agent.

HAHA this was incredibly funny!!

Already my frriends above me mentioned about what a refreshing start of a day! .. Hahahah .. Excellently Explained via Cricket Language!! :P

Great Work. Keep up the good work : )) I newly moved to dawn after quitting The News. Hope to see more and more realistic news. At Jang or The News I always see Negative side of my beloved Pakistan.

hahahaha.....Team Misbah.......love it.

Sarcasm is your super power and it reflects in your work Great job NFP

Funny but sad analogy to the state of affairs in Pakistan!!

Sweet slaughter of our good for nothing Cricket team...Keep chopping them Nadeem.

Thanks NFP. That raises one question why does Pakistan play cricket with infidels? Why not organize a World Muslim Cricket Cup?

Please talk to the phone --- good one - ha,ha,ha.

@Nasir-ud-din Soomro: Actually it's not taking pot shots at the team but at the right-wing mindset of the country's middle classes. You obviously failed to catch the humour.

Probably the greatest political satirist living on the face of this earth is always too soft on PPP and MQM.

classico.. can't stop laughing !

@John: Brilliant suggestion!!! Comentary should be in Saudi accented Arabic. No liberal paper (e.g.Dawn) should be allowed to cover the games and only those TV stations that guaranteed women would not watch the game should be allowed to telecast it. Players may not wear western clothes - Captains should wear Saudi Thobes, others may wear shalwar. Only Saudis be allowed to umpire.........

I am extremely critical of NFP but his two recent pieces: This one & Cult following have been First Class! Loved this!

M.H embarrassed most of us a lot then any other political stupidity we face these days...

Hilarious!

@John: Beacuse then Bangladesh and Afghanistan will beat us, and a final without Mumlikat-e-Khudadaad is no final at all.

This political cum sporting collage is a brilliant exhibition of our existing thinking and deeds. Time to wake up fellow Pakistanis and start walking, working, and REFRESHING OUR THINKING. Salams

Please talk to the phone! LOL, Man! you are incredible.

NFP should be on TV, but it is said that he himself stays away from appearing on TV. I once met him at last February's Karachi Literature Festival where he was moderating a session of political satire. It was one of the best sessions of the festival and the large hall was jam-packed with people. With a straight face he cracked witty and sarcastic remarks and the audience erupted in laughter. After the session he was surrounded by his fans and people who wanted to meet and talk to him. But I found him to be an extremely shy, humble and private man. Many young men and women also wanted his autograph but he politely refused. When I asked for the same, he pushed my notebook back to me and asked for MY autograph. Haha.

@Azaad: Correction Sir.. The Pakistani situation when it comes to religon is straight out a Deobandi vs Bralvee vs shia scenario. I don't see Saudia in it as they are Hanbalies (Wahabis,per say). The Ds and Bs are courtesy of India!!! so let's make it all indian inlieu of Saudia :-)

This series was preparation for the World Cup. Good tactics, fooling them into complacency.

Excellent as usual! I loved Inzmam the mujahid 'Yes, thanks to GoD boys plays wells ...' and also 'Foreign hand' :) Your fan

Hilarious, but the star of David should have been transposed over the PCB Star to really give it an impact.

NFP got that art of highlighting extreme absurdities of our politics and culture in a very light and digestible way.

this was in the highest bracket.... hilarious and delivered at the right time... now what do you say Mr JI and Mr JUIF ?.

Awsome

Gosh !...you are good. Star of David was just outstanding.

Hilarious. Would love to visit PAK. It is sad to see that the great Indus Valley Civilization reduced to few sects who don't see each other. Hope, PAK would realize and make great progress. I experienced great hospitality from PAK friends. Best Wishes to PAK

I am a student of the one of the big university of Pakistan. Al mostly I have lost all the reasons to smile.I even don't see the dramas and entertainment movies either Pakistani or Indian .I even don't see the TV shows of pakistan. I found all of them absurd.even they donot cover the minor issues of pakistan.all they want is ratings and glamour.In this blind allay I read only NFP articles.In my computer lab sometimes i laugh in such a high voice that other thought me as insane.Thatz my moments of pleasure in life until now.I request NFP to write more and more please and bring smiles to the depressed and gloomy peoples

@Saira Anwar: You are right. I met him at the Festival as well. He was down-to-earth and polite, but had a lot of charisma. He's the kind of guy who, though very quiet and private, is at once noticed when he come into a room. It was pleasure meeting him.

!

@Ansari: Because probably they are least bad options for Pakistan's future

U are spot on....There's a reason why I have been reading everything u write since the days of MAG:)

I am unable to stop my laughters.......

Funny :)

Hilarious!

NFP once gain at his best.

If Misbah was a member of PPP, he would have bought a franchise in IPL and a chateau in France.

HAHAHAHAHAHHHHHHAAHHAAA. This is one of the best ever.

@Ansari: so what if he is an ex Piplia !

This satire made me remember about a "sher" of Late Shri Khabar Sahib, a great poet from my town....sumo di rudad-e- muhabbat ik ansu main.....is se bhi mukhatsar karte to aur kya karte....

Superb piece of work. I went through the last bit thinking "MQM ko nahee bolay ga....MQM ko nahee bolay ga..." and then chukkaaaaaaaa!!!!!!! BUhhahhaaaaaa. I think this is the best one can do without causing much offence but I get a feeling Inzi must have started the chilla for NFP. Thanks be to God......theres ......NFP!

@Mohit Sharma: Beautiful verse. I will google Shri Khabar Sahib.

Superb work!

The Best ever. Thanks NFP sir.

@ailly: "this was in the highest bracket.... hilarious and delivered at the right time... now what do you say Mr JI and Mr JUIF" ?. Don't worry JI, JUIF are very creative. They sure will provide more material for NFP to write.

@Mujaahid: "Please talk to the phone! LOL, Man! you are incredible" Press 90 and talk to the phone:)

Fantastic! i hope this shames some of them

well two truths among sarcasm---one team pakistan. two zionist lobby----good job

Beautiful!! Mr.NFP could you please write cricket according to Orya and Ansar Abbasi.Thanks for making us smile.

Brilliant as usual NFP. You make my day like always You missed the one I witnessed. Sajid Mehmood (England) bowled Pakistani batsmen and Pakistani's in Britain calling him Kafir.

Hilarious.....

Superb can't stop laughing :)

What a great article with minimum words and maximum truth, infused with great sense of humor.

sir your way to present is so different from the rest of others sooooo well presented the approach of confused nation

It

It

@syed imtiaz ahmed: Take English Writing 101 next semester! It will help.

Gr8! Pakistan has best of sarcastic and heart touching critics in sub continent. Can you visit Indian TV news channels, which are boring to the extent of irritating currently sir?

@Ansari: No Ansari Sb., You are probably used to Geo TV channel who is paid to spew venom against PPP. It hates PPP for its own commercial reasons. It also has a big time agenda against MQM for personal reasons. Not to suggest that these two parties are ideal or perfect. They are as bad as rest of Pakistan but our innocent media portrays these two as parties of fools and thugs (and PML-N and PTI as parties of true Muslims and patriotic Pakistanis). Money talks Ansari Sb. If NFP is soft on PPP and MQM, it is because of his own ideological inclinations. It is perfectly fine to have ideological inclinations like the ones NFP has than the ones Orya Maqbool and Ansaar Abbasi have.

Endless, Brilliant Satire yet again from NFP that tells the truth bluntly. BRAVO!!

Haha Bravo as always Nadeem Sahib!

This is freaking hilarious

Brilliant! Because you can mock, you can rise. If Pakistan can show this strength of criticism, then you will compete and be a competitor. We need you to succeed, Pakistan! Stay the course and be strong.

nice

@TKhan: HE EXPRESSED HIS FEELINGS. And you appeard as a rude dumb 'burger'.

PAKISTANI CIRKET IS JUST LIKE ITS PM--DULL/LAZY/WHAT IS IT IN FOR ME/BEGGING BOWL HABITS/DYSFUNCTIONAL STATE

lovely

@John: That's risky cuz it will expose them against Bangladesh and Afghanistan :)

I am an Indian who lives in USA and likes to read news from the Indian Subcontinent and I must admit that writers in Pakistan are lot more fun,creative and interesting to read compared to their Indian counterparts. Nadeem Paracha keep up the good work and as long as Pakistan has people like there is a hope of better tomorrow!!

@Ansari: Let's crank it up a little then: if Misbah was a member of PPP, "We lost the match because of our policy of reconciliation" If Misbah was a member of MQM: "We lost because we raise the voice for the 98% of the deprived classes of Pakistan"

@Ali: and TOO PICTORIOUS TOO????

@syed imtiaz ahmed: Dude relax you are too cynical for your age. Not watching entertainment on TV is fine but not for the reason you mentioned, emotions do not elevate you knowledge does and this is what we don't get preached and taught in Pakistan. Both state and clergy has rammed down this hollow emotions down our throats for too long and thus produced a nation which full of emotions and lacks knowledge or ability to use it while making decisions for themselves and hence get highly polarized and over zealous. Go have fun with whatever works for you just no emotions and no extremes, and certainly not on others expense.

All this but no hit on the players, wow :)

this is master piece amazing pics each pics is saying 1000 words and in amazingly funny way

Loved the use of Mithun and dancing girl photo! Made my day :)

Super.

ROFL

Hilarious.

Team Pakistan - Our performance will BLOW you away !!!

Hahaha ! great

Thankfully you had the guts to satire about other parties besides PTI.

Keep them coming! In today's "Hard TImes" we need to be able to laugh at our selves.

@Nik3: I second that!

***Oye wonderful PARACHIAA !! jeonda Raho. TODAY while reading you, I could not control ... .... I will not reveal out come :-))) Paracha Sahib, Khuda bless yo.

@aisha: Except his favorite PPPP off course.

Good composition.

@ K J Grewal - " I must admit that writers in Pakistan are lot more fun,creative and interesting to read compared to their Indian counterparts" Our writers and journos are on the payroll of the rulers... The same goes for cricketers (especially bowlers), singers as well.. Here in India we have thrown a lot of money, naively believing that more money would lead to better skills. Alas the commercialisation and glamour are killing the 'real thing'

@TKhan:thanks

Thanks NFP, you've said it all! ROTFLOL!

@Milind: Its the same in Pakistan as well, free thinkers like NFP are like salt in wheat. And to go mainstream you need to pull a few strings, polish a few shoes, bow your head to the powerful and salute the mighty rising sun. Its the legacy of all third world countries, but then again the first world ones guise it in a more presentable democratic way, and they call it lobbying. In Pakistan, people are generally skeptical and speak their heart out, unless someone eventually knows their price tag

as ever hilarious...

Poetic, like a ghazal, saying so much in so few words.

Ya jonsa article hy, bohat acha hy :)

Well Misbah and his family actually do support PTI.

Insightful as always Paracha Sahib
