Re: Bootlegging alive and kicking in Peshawar.
I Heard someone say that we try to follow the west by drinking , That’s Bull sheit coming from a frustrated, repressed, and capped mind. If I wear jeans am I following the west? No! I am comfortable in them, If I drink coffee, am I following the west ? No cause I like the stimulant. If I eat pizza with a fork and knife , am I following the west, No cause I find it less messy and easier. If I drink alcohol, am I following the west? Hell No, Cause I like intoxication.
There's no denying that a lot of FOBS (especially rich brats) do things merely to ape the west, whether they enjoy it or not, they'll see something on Cable/Dish and they're so in awe they want to do it to, Western lifestyle is too over glamorised, FOBS need telling that everything that glitters is not gold.
You mentioned so called "western" attire and food, I've no problem with that, we live in a cosmopolitan world, things like that are universal culture now, jeans and t-shirt are not just American and pizza is not just Italian anymore, they are universal. Traditionalists who wear rags (shalwar kameez) in wet/windy Britain irritate me just as much, I hate both extremes of people.
There's nothing wrong with adopting positive things from the west but blind aping is never good, we could do without the negative consequences of alcohol because unlike the west a poor country like Pakistan does not have the means to cope with them.
It frustrates me to read about our generation drinking and doping and thinking that's all life is about.. What's going to happen to the country if these are its hires?? Westerners do neg things but they also work hard, FOBS only copy the "play hard" bit and ignore the "work hard" bit.
Pakistan ka kuch naheen honay wala, India ke saath phir se ek ho jaaen, we'll play hard and let the hard workin Indians earn a name for us in the world because it's not good being associated with a country headed for the gutter.. or I might just have a nosejob and be a white boy.
