I wonder what inspired cricket to be termed as "cricket." :20:

You do know that the British-ness of tea is a myth?

They created their own tea-culture by ripping off Indians/Ceylons and Chinese of their centuries' worth of customary practice.

Its chai. Its Indian/Pakistani chai which is the real deal.

I think they introduced us the tea. There was no concept of it prior to their colonization and yes it all started in China in the first place.

In any case, British tea today > Pakistani tea.

Hurt my back really bad in golf today. I think I will have to see a doctor. :facepalm:

Didn't you go see her dad once when you weren't well?

Here's another opportunity. Seize it.

Remember my course on Diaspora and Transnationalism? I had a reading on the history of tea and sugar for that.

Technically, the Indians/Ceylons and Chinese ought to be flabbergasted at the idea of mixing sugar in tea (since sugar is not supposed to be associated with tea, AT ALL).

They introduced in the practice of mixing sugar into tea, but the tea itself was never introduced in the subcontinent by the British.

Nostalgic once told me that telling an auntie that she doesn´t look married impresses them.

I took it too literally! I first asked her whether the two kids are hers, then asked whether she is married. She surely wasn´t impressed!

Too sophomoric to have originated from me!

It is a matter of dispute though, because the British don't acknowledge this, but we have gone really overboard with the milk and sugar ourselves.

I like my tea a little dark.

I don't have homework. :facepalm: I'm having exams.

What sort of out of touch father are you?

Sorry, I have been in the kitchen all these days helping our maid.
 
Doodhpatti? Love it but not always.


My favorite remains Kashmiri tea. (the pink one).

Of course they won't acknowledge it - why would they reveal that an integral cultural icon of Britain was infact ripped off of other cultures?

I dont mind my tea being too dark or too light. I sometimes mix in a tsp of coffee in my tea for an extra kick should I need it (for an all-nighter or sth).

Generally, doodhpatti rocks.
 
Because you're likely not to have a 6-pack. He doesn't like wimpy guys who don't do push-ups or lift weights or are just really skinny.

I don't think he'll take a liking to Fawad Alam. :P
 
As ive said before all beverages that arent cold are disgusting. Tea and coffee included

I don't have a six pack, but I have a good physique. I am not skinny at all.

I have worked out and I am not very ugly either. :shafiq

Kashmiri tea is awesome :108:

Why are people on here so obsessed with cousins and aunties??!!

There's more people in the world than family you know. Hell i dont even know some of my cousins names :P

How.... sad..

I'll be depressed this evening now ..

Could you tell me a bit about Political Science ? like what's the scope and what type of a subject is it ? career opportunities etc ? .

I'll be very frank, its not that attractive a field for study. There's minimal scope, unless you pursue it more thoroughly (do masters, perhaps phD). One of my prof keeps on telling us that we'd be lucky to land a job at starbucks with a bachelors degree in Poli-Sci. As for what it's like, its an theoretical subject - expect to read tons of papers (I should probably tell you here that I now have to wear reading glasses [the kind aunties wear] whilst studying - poli-sci made me long-sighted), write essays - as with any other humanities-based subject.

Career opportunities are usually coupled with some other skills: you need to be a good writer, then you can pursue journalism (a lot of scope for journalism). Otherwise, you can turn towards teaching (need a phD for that), or maybe become a politician yourself (you'll prolly be far better off than the current crop of politicians that we have).

Thus, I'd say by itself, a bachelors degree in Poli-Sci does not mean that much. But if you pursue it completely, then there are some decent opportunities out there..

Good luck :)
 
Guests coming and my Mum has ordered me to take a bath and shave. :facepalm:

Guys, I have had to delete whole two pages from this thread at once.

Please keep the level of decency (and respect the fact that it's a family forum after all) if you want it to stay.
 
I'm studying Political Science and Intl Relations. It's incredibly hard to get a bang-on A in these subjects, since its all essay based (while I don't mind writing essays, I feel that writing exams is my forte).

IR! A friend of mine is doing the same, and she gets such GPAs as well. She works hard so that's also a reason :zulfiqarb

Girls are usually academically excellent when it comes to social sciences subjects like political science.

BTW, do you know of any U.S colleges offering fully funded scholarships for Masters in political science/IR?
 
But it is censored now. :22:

This is all your fault.

Your last comment about having to shave sent this thread down a path of evil it barely recovered from...... :P

Anyway i can die happy now knowing that this thread will live on
 
My nazdeek ki nazaar is kharab. I need to wear glasses to read.

Its really bad for a 22 year old. Distant vision is decent though.

Uncommon for 14 yo to like Shakespeare.

Macbeth was quite good

I read books very often. I get a new book every week from the school library.

I haven't read much of Shakespeare's works. I have read only a couple: Romeo and Juliet along with King Lear.

Roald Dahl and Charles Dickens are very good writers, too.
