Re: Gori dey nakhrey, shaawa!
I met this girl a while ago in Chicago. It was some sort of function, we talked and exchanged numbers. She seemed nice enough and since she didnt know anyone in the US, I thought we could hangout, be friends, etc.
She had come from Pakistan a few years ago after marrying an engineer. She had a baby, lived in a really nice home, etc. But the more I talked to her, the more weirded out I got. She never wanted to stay home. She was dissatisfied with her life here. She didnt want to be a mom either.
She admitted she had this image in her mind of life in the US and nothing had lived up to her expectations. According to her, people here partied all the time, went out, got drunk, etc etc etc. She would call me ALLLL the time wanting to do something. While I enjoy being social, Im a busy gal and definitely not into the party scene. I dont have time to just hang out all weekend. I went to her house for lunch once, it was a mess. She noticed it and explained that in Pak, she never lifted a finger and it sucks that she cant have maids here to do it all for her.
At one point, she went to Pakistan and decided to stay there - left her baby here - for about 6 months! I didnt get that at all...asked her about it she would cry. She didnt want this life and didnt ask for it. Her home was beautiful, pretty area, money, cars, etc. But she wanted something else: a life of constant social interaction and partying. She was actually very upset that her husband was religious and didnt like to go clubbing. "Im very fun-loving by nature yaaar".
So yeah, after this and many more bad examples...we dont have the best impressions of foblets over here.
Not all of them are bad, but the good ones are in a minority.
