From Kharadar to Khyber

Coming back from office an hour ago. the driver of W-11 bus (infamous public transport of Karachi) came infront of me. The traffic was jammed, so started watching the art (gul bote) behind W-11… All of a sudden, the driver presented a unique art famous from Karachi to Khyber. Yes the foot path was colored with paan ki peek :hayaa:

Whats with people spitting on roads. After this incident, I saw many bikewals spitting gutka on road.

In Kharadar and Lyari, a new building soon becomes laal o laal in paan / gutka peek. One of my friends from Peshawer says ’ Peshawer main jab barish hoti hai to galiyan naswari pani se bhar jati hain, aur kharadar main barish ka pani kathai ho jata hai’

You remind me of shop keepers when you ask them something they will peek right front of you and then will answer you :mad:

Re: From Kharadar to Khyber

but why people do this. Everyone knows that spitting in public is against manners.

Re: From Kharadar to Khyber

Re: From Kharadar to Khyber

yeh pakistani gutkha kaisa hota hai?packed in pouches same like paan masala?

kabhi mawa ka naam suna hai....hamare haan usse kharra kehte hain...

jisme chhaliya ya supiyaari ko ek mazboot polythene per rakh ke usme chune ka pani aur zarda ya tobacco mila kar iss polythene ko ek hath se pakar kar dusre hath per ragarte hain jisase tamakhu powder form me supiyari par chipak jata hai..

Re: From Kharadar to Khyber

Hussainabad is old food street of central Karachi. Mostly occupied by *memon *community.

I heard mawa, it is also popular in karachi.

Re: From Kharadar to Khyber

I think they used to import gutka in initial days. bombay gutka, city gutka were some famous brands. Yes, they are available in the packing as you mentioned.

This Mawaa thing irritetes me to great level. Maawa is khoya in Sindhi. so you can feel my level of irritation for comparing this stuff with khoya

Re: From Kharadar to Khyber

And these Memon guys live on/ love to this paan gutka stuff
