**How many of us here who live outside of pakistan would consider moving back to pakistan if theyve lived there before, or moving to pakistan even if uve never lived there? and on the same note, how many of our parents want to move back?
my mom wants to move back badly, my dad wouldnt mind either. I myself have never lived in pakistan, but a part of me yearns to live there.:D**

Re: How Many Of Us Would Move Back
If I can drive a brand new SLR in the avenues with beautiful romantic lights & paved roads, then I will, else I'll wait for that day to come.
Re: How Many Of Us Would Move Back
Hai Allah, kitney masoom log hain yahaan 
Here
tell you something we have pets in pakistan too 
There is a makhi (housefly) and ther is a machar (mosquito). makhi stays awake during the day and play with you 
and machar tells you bed time story at night with sound effects …:whistling
Then there is KESC. It provides electricty to KArachi ( Pakistan’s biggest city )
on avg weekends and week days :
sometimes they forget to plug in and then people go out in streets and have a nice time socializing then the kids get irritated due to heat they come back hom to mommies and aske her to make them nanga so they could take a bath. when they go to bathroom there is no water, cause water is the sister of bijli they go hand in hands
So the kids go outside ( still nangey )( an play with other kids who are nangey too 
then there are young guns who wanted to play cricket in flood lights they dont have it so they get clue and find a work around they go to nearest KESC office and burn it 
While it burns there is sufficeint light so now they’ll play :roman:

Re: How Many Of Us Would Move Back
If 160 or 180 millions people (or whatever is the population of Pakistan) can live there so can anyone else. There are Makhiyaan & machhar here too, they annoy too. Though no problem of electricity or water, but
1) you dont smell "barish kay baad woh soondhi khushboo" that you do u in Pakistan.
2) You dont listen the voice of Azaan, early in the morning. (& yes I miss it).
3) You dont take your car & go to a village where in the night u hear the voice of some josheela jawan, singing heer in the moon light.
4) You may visit Grand Canyon, but u dont heer that whistling sounds of wind when u are standing alone somewhere in cholistan.
5) No matter how much I liked Anastacia's concert in USA, I still cannot forget the bansury in "sun wanjli dee milthleee taan".
No matter I may never be able to return to Pakistan (God knows), but in my mind I still live there and will carry on living there.
Re: How Many Of Us Would Move Back
i agree:)

Re: How Many Of Us Would Move Back
I would stick out like a sore thumb - not being able to read or write urdu, having only enough knowledge of urdu to talk about a limited range of topic, and speaking even that urdu with quite a British accent means that I could never fit in in Pakistan.
On the other hand... if I ever inshallah strike it rich I'd definately build a mansion in Defence in Karachi, and use it as a holiday home all the time. It doesn't matter where you fit in the most, you will always have a bond to your motherland that can never ever be cut.
Re: How Many Of Us Would Move Back
I think I would like to move there for a little while -- maybe it would become permanent, but I doubt it.
Re: How Many Of Us Would Move Back
I definately wanna live in pakistan in future..its da place to be! would definately raise my future kids there only.
Re: How Many Of Us Would Move Back
I'd like to, but just for a short while.
Re: How Many Of Us Would Move Back
I can visit Pakistan but I can never live there for good. I am sorry but I can't lie because if I don't lie, I will get fooled. I can't bribe but if I don't bribe, I won't be able to get anything done. I am sorry I am honest and simple, but if I stay that way in Pakistan, I will get taken advantage of.
I love the land but I don't like the way people and the system works. An honest, shareef, and truthful person can't live there, at least I can't. These problems are in US as well, but not as common as in Pakistan. I will always visit Pakistan but I won't be able to stay there for more than a couple of weeks. I am speaking from personal experience here.
Re: How Many Of Us Would Move Back
Pakistan can be fun when ure visiting.. but living and visiting are NOT the same! When ure visiiting, ure constantly going out, shopping, outings etc.. ure relatives will do everything for you.. when ure living there, its quite different, and you'll stick out if ure not 100 % fluent wit the language. I'm not sayin Pakistan or Pakistanis are necessarily bad people, but i dunno.. i just cudnt live there, the way the life is, the slowness /laziness of everything gets on ure nerves quickly, the lying and sneakiness..

For Shikra’s comments ----> 
Re: How Many Of Us Would Move Back
It’s true though. I got pulled over by police at a check post the night I arrived in Pakistan while I was going home from the airport.
Reason: None
What would I have to do to go?: “Janab hum subah sey duty par hain, chai paani bhi nahi piya, bottle peeney ko dil kar raha hai”
I had to bribe in order to leave, otherwise I would be spending the night in the jail, along with the driver and my uncles.
It was such a warm welcome by the officials of Pakistan, sure I would always want to live there 
This is just one of the situations where I encountered the officials.
