Re: Karachi Korner

Honestly I have YET to come across a desi guy who knows how to dance.

And I donot mean here raising your arms, uchkaing your shoulders and trying to bhangra to every beat

either they are too chicken to dance and they form a line and just stand and stare at people on the dance floor or they get drunk and are on the dance floor making a fool of themselves.

Such a turnoff!!

You never really know what to say when someone asks you what there is to see in Karachi
You give "missed calls"
You've never really seen a tourist
Its December and you attend 5 mehndis/shaadis in one night and end up meeting the same people at each of them
You use the phrases "whats the scene?" "scene on hai" or "whose she sceening with?"
You still have some of Everest Videos movies and dont plan to return them

You used to go for tutions even though didnt need them
You say that you really like that restaurant/shop and someone says "oh yea, my family owns that"
You catagorize people as "burgers" or "melas"
You roll down your car window and you can actually touch the car next to you
You go by landmarks not street names
Your only argument in the Lahore/Karachi debate is "well we have a beach"
You own either a Corolla or a Civic
You never realized that North Nazimabad was actually in the North
You never have dinner before 1am in shaadi season
You've always wondered what "khayaban" meant
You know the "telefun" number by heart even though you dont know what "telefun" is/does
You blame everything on K.E.S.C
Your school gets closed when it rains
You know your city is a hole but you love it anyways

Re: Karachi Korner

Yaar aap desi guys ka mazaaq na uRayaa karaiN.

Dance floors, dance parties and what not is not part of our culture, so when guys try to do that, out of pressure or to impress the girl, they often ridicule themselves. They are just trying to fit in, where they dont want to fit in. Its a circle fiting the square kind of thing

Sharam karaiN
