So who is "their enemy" killing people during roza break at marriott hotel in Islamabad. Is the "most of the population" there also supporting terrorists to bomb in karachi, lahore, on a weekly basis. I have friends who have gone to pakistan from India...and they have seen excellent people who thrive on bollywood and cricket. Of course, biases are there and my friend had hilarious, some annoying stories to recount. Subu, your opinion depends on what kind of people you have met. I am blessed with friends who do not pretend and are indeed neutral. I guess i would be able to judge that at this age and experience. By the way, i have made another set of pakistani friends in CHelmsford too :). She is a community development worker in my NHS..the only other asian in my office. Husband is a GP here and he is treating my nose. I had developed nasal outgrowths and my ENT consultant in India just said my middle bone is shifted to one side...but that was a symptom to the outgrowths. My friend's husband, is an ENT surgeon, and i might have to get it removed surgically. I am not steroid nasal spray and am breathing clearly after one year. I really cant believe my luck...i meet Pakistani people here everywhere. In Sheffield too, all my housemates were Pakis. I had great fun though. I am sorry this hurts you guys...but it is my experience. Arch
