Re: kukaRi

MQ brought up some interesting points ( unintentionally of course ).

kala doriya means black thread, kunda is kunda (I think), aRaya means tied/entangled to. A black thread tied to a hasp can mean various things in poetry. It’s a kind of mark or sign. Like if you mark a house for something. There are countless folklores that relate marking of a house by thieves, jinns, or dains/churails etc to come back later for to loot. So marking of a house can mean calamity. This is specifically true since thread color is black. Black no good color in any culture

In the sense of tappays, which usually have romantic undertones, black thread may also mean calamity in terms of falling love. Falling in love is trouble, yeh? So even if it is daiwar’s laraee or kukaRi’s kuR kuR, romanticism is still a backdrop to the poetry. So the feel will always be deeper whether it’s irony, tragedy, or simple joy.

That’s the precise reason karachiites can’t understand Punjabi passion.

Re: kukaRi

Its alright, I shall take the credit for the intelligence in this thread. Shukriyah.

Kala doriya ? I would have gotten it if it was doree. Btw isnt that often used with taveez? The kali doree?

Re: kukaRi

All this for one word. what is kukari? sounds like karo kari. Brief explanation will do, thanks.

Roman · June 2, 2005, 4:51pm

Re: kukaRi

Yeh, that’s true. It CAN of course mean tauweez - actually that sounds more plausible. Didn’t think of it. So daiwar’s laree could be a reuslt of tauweez. :k:

Re: kukaRi

kur kur karnai kai liyai…kukari ki zaroorat nahin…philosophical discussion indeed…:k:

Re: kukaRi

Roman, koi gal naeen. Have you ever heard that song, ‘jiinay karachi naeen waikya ow jamaya naeen.’

BTW, your rendition of the tappas and their romantic ethos was able to arouse deep pathos. Please, don’t be so melodramatic.

Tai jinnai pindi nai takiya oh dariya he nahin :roman:

Re: kukaRi

Roman, what is a Kukari and is it good to have a big one?

Madhanee · June 2, 2005, 6:18pm

Re: kukaRi

Pindi… It’s not the size of KukRi that matters, it is the KuR KuR that it makes which is more important.

You would probably squeeze it’s neck if you ever held one.

Re: kukaRi

oh… it is not what you are thinking it is :tweetie:

dandi!

Roman · June 2, 2005, 6:22pm

Re: kukaRi

Dandi, yeh, you'd wring the neck.

Madhanee · June 2, 2005, 6:26pm

Re: kukaRi

Romeo, how about we arrange a KukRi party for Dandoo. He can also learn the art of kuR kuR.

Roman · June 2, 2005, 6:27pm

Re: kukaRi

Madhanee, that sounds good. You two kuKaries want to come to papa kuKaR?

Pinstripe_Danda · June 2, 2005, 6:27pm

Re: kukaRi

No thanks..the last time I partied with you guys, I had to take a mini break with a blonde..thank god she got me up for the task.

Madhanee · June 2, 2005, 6:29pm

Re: kukaRi

Let's see what Pindi thinks. If we come together, can we do a group hug?

Re: kukaRi

As long as roman brings the Kur Kur I am good.
