Re: Being dupli patli pakistani

Err…I thought the word **dubli **…not dupli.

Yes, I’ve seen the jealousy…but more among my relatives. Lol, I used to be a really chubby kid and the same cousins who would insult me for that…also put me down when I lost the weight (perhaps it was baby fat) when I hit my teens. One of them was overweight. I never said anything back to them…never insulted them for their looks. Growing up, I used to wonder if it was me…and it took me a while to figure out that the problem was them and their insecurities. I’ve little respect for them…I don’t wish them ill…and for the most part I ignore them. Although occasionally I’ll put them in their place. Just because you have the title of “baji” doesn’t mean that you should always be respected. Sometimes people think that a quality that another person has was natural or acquired easily and that’s not always the case. For many things, you have to work for it. But i guess human nature is such that it’s easier to be jealous than to do some self-reflection and apply some effort.

actually, you are right.
