And it was customary to wipe the sweat off your forehead with a thandi Pepsi ki botal like Imran did in the ad before drinking pepsi .Dhoka indeed. When I think about that era, I think of sipping Ovaltine in front of the TV after dinner, listening to Khalid Hameed on PTV Khabarnama telling me all was well with the world.
And it was too. Compared to now![]()
Eat from your right hand, never eat with your left hand even with fork and knife

Because it`s the shaitan that eats from his left hand
Never drink water standing up.
If you forget to say bismiallah before starting to eat then satan will be get your food instead of you. But dont worry if you remember half way through it then say it and satan will vomit. I always used to do that even if i remembred before eating so satan can vomit again and again when i was around 7-8 years old. Feel sorry for satan now![]()
thats Shaitans problem not mine![]()
During your kindergarden days in Pakistan, every kid is told to cover his mouth while yawning or else Shaitan will enter through it.

All us married guys can testify to the veracity of this belief.

And things like humzaad / chilla katna would be considered superstitions too or not ?
Well, there are ways to find out, as outlined in the black magic books found next to the old Playboy editions on those roadside bookstalls.
You need "bitter" oil ( karwa tail in vernacular parlance), a lamp, and a deserted house.
Light the "karway tail ki shamma," place it behind you such that your shadow falls on the wall. Then, settle down and recite verses of the Quran backwards. I don't have the book handy to tell you which verses, and how many times.
Anyways, brace yourself, because the hamzaad will address you soon enough.
Best done in an abandoned, dilapidated house next to a graveyard.
Let me know how it went.
You're welcome.
You forgot to advise wearing a black cloak and a bit of Gothic make up for the sake of authenticity
Too Hollywood. We like our black magic pure, without gimmicky and cliched props and accoutrements.
Lol Yeap. Just vintage goat heads, a group of saeeins with long braided unkept unwashed hair, sitting in a circle in a clay baked residence in some remote village.
Possibly. Dreadlocked Saieens sitting in a circle in adobe huts are more likely to simply be indulging in bhang. The goat heads are for the siri payee feast afterwards, for the post-bhang munchies.
The authentic black magic practitioner dresses very normally. He is however enfeebled, unnaturally dark, and has poor oral hygeine.

He is also someone with unnaturally high pitched nasal voice and a penchant for poondi

Is it true that if you drink milk after eating fish you can get white spots on your skin?
I don't think that it's a medically recognised thing, but it is said so by our elders.Is it true that if you drink milk after eating fish you can get white spots on your skin?
I can remember having come across quite a few people in Pakistani having these white spots, and our elders used to tell us, "Look, he ate (fish), he drank (milk).... "
But never was it confirmed by any patient suffering from it - but neither rejected by anyone, given I can´t remember having ever asked anyone about i.
One belief prevalent in the villages is that a woman who has recently had a miscarriage can induce another pregnant woman into having one simply by looking at her.
In other words, one miscarriage can spark off a chain reaction. It's a wonder anyone ever gets born in the countryside.

Vitiligo. That's the name of the condition. This belief is so prevalent that the chutneys at those roadside battered and fried fish places are non-yoghurt based. The waiters will even tell you which fish will cause Vitiligo and which won't.

I know vegetarians who have this condition so it can happen without combining fish and milk.
This theory is just one of those Pakistani things! I never believed it to be honest, but had to obey the elders considering the "What if... ?" factor.
Bit of a Pakistani belief is that flu relents after its initial three days. Does this have any medical truth to it? Would love to know.
Must have been mentioned before but taveez wearing surely comes into the category of superstition as well. Apparently you are not supposed to open up the taveez to see whats written/drawn inside. And I never got the chance to see for myself what really is written on them. I've heard its reversed ayats...
I've heard it too. Would be interesting to hear a doctor's take on it.
Do we have any doctors here?
Verses backwards, and verses written incorrectly to say the opposite of what they did. And prayers to pagan deities.
I know I am drifting away a bit from the original topic of common superstitions amongst Pakistanis, but I must add the below:
Kids are known for being curious to find out about things such as how babies come to the world, and how an earthquake takes place is as well one of those things that fascinate the kids, albeit a bit less common perhaps.
So the elders often used to answer it by saying that a bull is carrying the planet earth on its horns, and an earthquake occurs when it decides to shift the "ball" from one horn to the other. The "ball" shakes during those moments of transfer).
This explanation was quite famous in villages.
Yes I heard this as a kid.
As for babies, they used to come up with elaborate tales. These days they just tell kids they download babies off the Internet.
And do they tell them how is it uploaded on Internet?![]()

No, vitiligo is completely genetic and hereditary. It often skips some generations
One of the things told was that if you happen to see a snake, do not use its name when you shout loud for help. So instead of crying "Sapp, sapp, sapp!" (the Punjabi word for it), one should use a similar sounding word such as "Happ", so that whereas people will have a good idea why you are calling for help, the snake won't attack knowing that its presence is not the issue.
This theory is of course based on the idea/assumption that snakes understand the Punjabi language).

If you see a jinn then take you shalwar off and light your lighter or a match.
Which makes me wonder whether snakes are more intelligent than humans.Some snakes of the insidious variety do speak Punjabi, amongst other languages.
What the hell is this
I have also heard never to attack a snake if you see it indoors because jinn tend to take their form and it might be one of them.

I thought this was a very Indian belief. What do Pakistani dulhans dress in? Indian brides will be in gorgeous red, ideal for churails
Depends if its a traditional pichal pairee or a hip, trendy one. The former swear by red. The latter go for whatever is en vogue.
I believe mauve is in this winter.
Ah, but the second kind is more of a materialistic, slow death variety and hence more scary. At least the former is kind of romantic in an old fashion, traditionalist way and if and when I have to go, I would not mind going that way
I concur. There is no substitute for tradition.
)
) What? Is it the lack of the shalwar that drives away the jin or the match/lighter?
Yep. Not even for churails. Unfortunately with the burgeoning metropolises, the expanding cities, the boom in population and the lack of free time, the new generation has as much time for the seductive, mysterious, scary churails as for you and me
I think it's the exposing of your genitals.
But then there are prayers for going to the bathroom, to avoid having the Jinn see one's genitals. How then can they be scared away by the sight of them?
Maybe there are asexual Jinn? Or at least ones with low libido?
If you see a jinn then take you shalwar off and light your lighter or a match.
Nostalgic did you hear about the first jinn to get a twitter account?
If you walk over someone,he would not be able to grow taller.
