Hide dem aunties!

I'm glad you got the joke. I wish I could claim the tharki-Turkey pun as my own, but it is actually Naeem Bukhari's. "Our ancestors were from Turkey. That's why we are tharki."

 

[saadibaba]

Did someone wrote Tharki Buddha. Almost feel like it's my Batman sign.

Speaking of Tharki, am I the only one who finds Mussarat Shaheen back in her "Loong Gawacha" days very attractive.

Mussarat Nazir

She really was one of the premier graceful aunties of her day. Not only that, the Laung Gawacha song has risque connotations. The laung, i.e. nose stud, also goes by the name nath in non-respectable circles, and the fact that she lost it, and is asking for someone to find it, speaks volumes.

This theme can be found in much older poetry too. Recall the Fareed Ayaz Coke Studio song "Kangna." The lady is asking for her bangle back. But why does the guy have it? How did he get it? The bangle is actually a metaphor.

Nazeer! That's right. Shaheen was the wholesome Pashtun film actress I think, also known for her risqué dance moves.

I love her voice. There was another one by her called Kut kut bajra....lovely tune. I could only get a word here and there but the relationship between food and love, the connotations, the metaphors and analogies are truly remarkable. What a rich heritage we have.

I remember that from my thesis writing days. I had an "Ibid" in there that my advisor gave me grief about. IEEE doesn't allow Ibids.

She had entire albums of just wedding songs. My Americanized kids loved "Chitta Kukkar." Try saying "Chitta Kukkar" in an American accent. Out of the mouths of babes, as the saying goes.

The late lamented Khalid Hasan was a great admirer of Mussrat Nazir's:

My whole life feels like an abyss. Close enough I guess.

 

[Nostalgic]

Anyhow, another theory about Laung Gawacha is that it isn't risque, it is actually racist, and exhorts violence against black people. She is using all her charm to seduce her lover into killing, hence the line "Nigga maarda aiyeen vey."

What is deeply troubling is the nonchalance inherent in the phrasing. Telling him to kill on the way over. Chilling.

Cool theory. Didn't realize Musarrat Nazeer and TuPac had so much in common.

Well I have been looking for a new username for a while now, hope the mods will comply because its definitely confusing to have Mamoon and Mamnoon post at the same time.

Too vilayati. At the very least, call it by its desi name: daliya.

There's a tongue-in-cheek, risqué pun in there, plus you're still oatmeal.

 

[endymion248]

I guarantee that the masses will choose ''Alto''.

Reason behind 'oatmeal' shall not be revealed.

It is. I was going to tag you, but it's much more fun talking about people behind their backs.

Anyhow, make yourself comfortable. What is your pet hate? Tell all. Spill the beans. Let the cat out of the bag.

 

[Mamoon]

How about AH?

[Mamoon]

A little confession here:

I really don't want my fiancée to find out that I post on PakPassion, because if she comes across the stuff I posted regarding her and all the AH stuff, I'd be in deep trouble.

She doesn't like cricket and won't come anywhere near PakPassion, but there's always a chance.

Ahh.. reminds me of that ballad from Disney's Hercules..

I will find my way, I can go the distance,
I'll be there someday, if I can be strong..
I know every mile, will be worth my while,
I would go most anywhere to feel like I belong..

My personal anthem, especially in days of estrangement from my home..

 

[Nostalgic]

Speaking of rude/wannabe-cool shop assistants, I remember many years ago when the first Subway opened in Rawalpindi. The kid behind the counter was obviously rich. Why he worked at the Subway was beyond me. Anyhow, the first time I went in, I spent some time looking at that menu board on the wall. He gave me the haughty head-to-toe look, and then, in English, asked me, "is this your first time?"

My reply cannot be printed here. But I mean... it's a Subway, not a Michelin-rated eatery.

What's with global news channels like CNN, Fox, Al Jazeera etc. that can somehow get away with cutting to people on poor quality Skype calls. It seems like every channel is doing this now. How are they able to get away with such sub-standard transmissions in this day and age?

Really grinds my gears. Especially when you pay a certain sum of money for the latest HD TVs.

 

[Saqs]

What's with Murali Kartik and his commentary? Is he on drugs? Even if he is, it doesn't excuse what he does with a mic in hand. Why all the fake excitement? Why can't he just commentate like a normal human being. Is he subtly making fun of other commentators? If he is, it isn't that subtle anyway. And he still wears that necklace. Why? Why does he still exist?

 

[shah_1]

These beggars ringing the door bell early in the morning. So annoying.

 

[Saqs]

Police states. I can't stand them.

Also, people who come to foreign lands, and expect the local society to bend to their cultural whims rather than trying to fit in. Whether this is a westerner coming to the Middle East and scoffing at local customs and wearing singlets/bikinis and walking around shopping malls thinking it is normal, or us desi people going abroad and being rigid and not giving ourselves a chance to fit in and integrate/assimilate.

Really grinds my gears.

Did he say it with a French accent?

 

[Nostalgic]

American accent.

I can't help myself anymore, I must tell you what my response was. He asked, "Is this your first time here?" And I replied, "Yes, but don't worry, I've brought along a wearable contraceptive." I didn't say wearable contraceptive, I said, well you know what the colloquial term is.

Relatives who turn up at Eid just for the food, never see them any other time of the year, apart from the odd occurrence in the street.

 

[Syed1]

If I'm coming to pick you up, you better be ready and outside your house within 5 minutes. I don't want to be waiting half and hour outside your door even though I called you before leaving my place and informed you of my ETA.


The girls that do this drive me crazy to no end.

 

[Saqs]

Waiting. In general. Waiting is the worst thing of all time.

 

[uberkoen]

Stupid drivers. I've seen so many people who don't understand the purpose of lanes on a road or that the fast lane shouldn't be hogged by slow drivers. Drivers who don't have any idea of how to drive in a round about or the ones who think that their time is more important than everyone else queuing at the exit.

 

[WC-Passion]

People who just hate you for no reason.

That one guy who always kills the joke.

Hypocrites.

People who have short temper. You do one little thing they don't like and there goes the bomb.

Those people who take forever in the toilet.

Neighbors who blast Jamaican Rap and cringe-worthy pop music at 8:00AM.

Drama Queens and Attention seekers, (Especially bad when it comes to teenage girls)

Bad drivers and people who have no idea how to cross a road without taking 30 minutes.

 

[WC-Passion]

Waiting. In general. Waiting is the worst thing of all time.

This one is really bad. I remember once my final trip was a trip to the theme park. I was with my friends, and waited in line for 2 and a half hours for this hype water ride, only to be called back after getting to the ride. I was so mad after that one.

It was back when we discussed my grandma being a disciple of Pir Mehr Ali Shah, and we agreed that it was only appropriate that you be the Pir and I the mureed. Besides, you're younger, and as Iqbal said, Jawaanon ko Peeron ka Ustaad kar.

Anyways, the hashtag follows #PakistaniInPennsylvsnia and #MiserableInMinnesota. Autocorrect doesn't underline #MiserableInMinnesota, which means that's a common ailment.

I'm named after my grandfather who was named from him because my great-gf didn't have children until he made dua for him. Basically everyone had given hope on my grandfather being ever born and then they had 6 children after him.

Shah Daula is the infamous one with the "rat children." It's a horrific practice. There is a distant relative in our ancestral village who has one of those kids.

 

[blinding light]

I've joined Tumblr to spend (waste) time on some quality nerdiness. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy it far more than Twitter... but....

Some people get way, way, way, wayyy too carried away with making their personal fantasies a so-called 'ship' for characters. Take Mortal Kombat for example. Would you ever believe Kenshi and KANO to be a gay couple? Truly, madly, deeply, desperately in love with each other?

FREAKING KANO?!

No guys, no. Respect the damn canon. People who are paid to write video games/movies/comics etc are far more qualified to decide who likes who, and what's in character for these characters, rather than sad little 14-year old kids.
