Pakistani Ethnicities 101

After having a thoroughly enjoyable time listing the daily activities of Palestinians in my previous post, I have now decided to do the same for the diverse and troublesome ethnicities within our glorious country.

Let’s start with my own:

  5. Spit. Blow nose and clean with kameez.
  6. Go to cinema to watch Saima movie.
  7. Ogle at picture of Saima in wallet.
  8. Beat wife for serving cold tea to guest, and also for not looking like Saima.
  9. Beat all seven kids for being loud.
  10. Scratch groin.
  11. Go to theatre and watch Mastana in stage play.
  12. Watch Nargis ka mujra in same play. Whistle.

  4. Curse Pathans in general.
  5. Praise Miandad as greatest batsman to ever play cricket.
  6. Tell kids about massive ancestral home in Lucknow.
  7. Look down upon rest of the country.
  8. Go to beach and throw banana peels and toffee wrappers. Curse inefficient administration for failing to keep Karachi clean.

  2. Put naswar in mouth and get high.
  3. Curse America for ruining spiritual fatherland in Afghanistan.
  4. Make trip to spiritual fatherland in Afghanistan.
  5. Bring back poppy.
  6. Make charas and distribute across nation.
  7. Eat undercooked lamb and tasteless pulao.
  8. Consume green tea and burn fat.
  9. Host Mullah Omar.
  10. Buy new weapon from shop down the street.
  11. Kill neighbor using new weapon.
  12. Sleep content.

In the spirit of utter randomness, I conclude with the sublime poetry of Abrar ul Haq

kaleyan reh reh thak gaye aan
sehbalay ban ban akk gaye aan
ho ranna waleyan de pakkan parathay
te chhareyan de agg na balay
oh taa hee te tenu akheya e
aja ni beja cycle tey
dil bolay karri karri tu dil di jani eh
sari duniya maani mein pyasa tu paani eh
ni zara lakk nu hila, thora kum ke wakha
kadi jaan-eeeay

Comments:
jaani, reading that bit of poetry- i hope he comes around.

otherwise youre right. i always enjoy your writing, asswipe =D
(this is a branch of 'jangli affection'- make note.)
 
I've read all your articles finally... argh you're so damn good \m/
 
good one! almost laughed off da chair! lol!
 
i pray that no non-paki ever reads this blog..you make us sound like idiots :P
 
Oh but we are idiots. :)
 
i was surprised that no mention of the saraikis... and of course the pathan would have been more "fun"
 
Sadly I know nothing about the seraikis expect that they live near Multan and their language is supposed to be 'meethi'.
 
speaking of abrar, this advice i diligently heed:

jithay kuri munda waikho
rang which bhang paoo
kol jakay munday koloon
taime shaime pocho
paanvay langday langday uthoon
thora thora khang jao
jithay neeli batti wali gaddi waikho uthoon tussi
neevain neevain hokay
neevain neevain hokay lang jao

 
Ho peeni pepsi te khanay burgerrrr
balay ni khorakan terian
ho GT road te baraikaan lagian
 
Very Politically Correct!! You continue to amaze me!! khee khee!! =D
 
sar jee kuj hor v te likho na
 
AMAAAAZINGG!!!!
 
And pat on your back for good taste in music. Kishore and Abrar. Can't get any better.
 
Just the kind of crap we need to pull it all together. Good job, mister, neither your humour nor your musical taste have anything unique about them.
 
The only problem, my friend, is that I simply cannot respect the opinion of a fucktard who does not appreciate either Kishore or Abrar. Bloody westernized fuck, I'm sure you are.
 
LOL :) So whats so bad in listening to westernized music? When you can read their books in your University to learn the crap they write and agree to what they have to say about Pakistan through their media? Abrar certianly gives it away for you, pal.

Additionally, in what sane world does it require for a person with good music taste to have a reasonable opinion about someone who cant relate with the crap he's born in! Guess thats more xenocentric shit than you ever allege someone else with. I knew the kind of person authoring this blog would be when I read "I'm in LUMS". LOL again!
 
Yes, I am a biased little dude. Kill me.

As for reading their books and accepting their opinion about our country, well, whose opinion would you rather accept then? Those in Pakistan Studies books in school/college? Hah. And by the way their opinion is right. We are an intolerant, bigoted nation. Go read the local news section in the papers, you nincompoop.
