Re: Baahir ki larkiyan
I think upbringing pe bohut depend karta hai how you turn out as an adult. Most of us living in the West belong to middle or upper-middle class families in Pakistan, who faced many challenges after coming here. And growing up (as kids or teens) we have seen our parents struggle so much, so we have a deep appreciation of the finer things in life and we respect our freedom and boundaries very well. Compared to this, those of us who belong to upper class in Pakistan and always had things handed to us on a silver platter, when these kind come to the West they are very spoiled and used to getting their way.
In my social circle, I see all kinds of families…and this is coming from 12+ years of living in Toronto. No one I know had a live in boyfriend or girlfriend, no matter how westernized they are. That is not to say that it doesn’t happen. I have seen a few single guys who come here as international students and live in a luxury apartment downtown / drive a BMW or Benz from day one / and date anyone and everyone from all skin colors. So, at times, I have also wondered if **certain **people in Pakistan are more westernized than majority of Pakistanis living in the west.
The keyword is certain types .
