Those women who watch Sahir Lodhi Show morning shows and the star plus soaps live here too. I recently met SO many auntiez/girls on this shadi who were only talking about ‘haye tum ne us ki saari dekhi thi ..or shaista wahidi ki us episode wala jora maine apni designer se order kerwa bhi liya hai’ stuff like that.

Others were the ones who were so totally involved in asking their daughters to dance on "sheila ki jawani’ and tell her how she copies all the steps wonderfully, Some other women infact auntiez got even more enthusiastic and themselves started dancing on ‘Munni badnam hui’ !

I saw a few 2-3 year old girls. They didn’t know a word of Urdu but could completely and fluently sing Imran Khan’s ‘chakk glassi’ and ‘bounce billo’ . Oh and I recently discovered people here celebrate ‘Sangeet Night’, 'Holi Night, ‘hen night’. Something so far I haven’t witnessed in Pakistan.

So do I declare the entire british asians to be totally indianized or westernized ? No, because I know there are good and bad people everywhere and just because of a group of those I wouldn’t label the entire community as bad

At least here I have the option not to interact with them.
