Re: Marrying someone raised in a different country
I am sorry to say but i am so offended by the comments above. There is a wide range of personalities found in pakistan, not every single guy/girl is the type you all have referred. The circumstances you all and us ‘Desis’ have lived in are totally different. We were not lucky enough to get super high quality education from abroad, be a part of the West culture or learn the so called mannerisms of these countries. Yes! we live in pakistan and living in a developing country sure is difficult but for whatever reasons we do no bash a type of people around. We do not insult different types of Pakistanis living with us and even if we find faults in the migrated Pakistanis we still do not bash them. But it is amazing what kind of a mentality has been developed. If you do not want to marry a person, tell your parents. It is unwise to take a few Pakistanis as the general/whole Pakistani people to be. Each of us is different, our circumstances were different, we are living in a struggling country .. struggling to survive. Many of these people cant even afford perfumes. There was a time when your own family members were unable to afford anything and that is why,mostly,they shifted. These so called bad-smell people were probably those unlucky people who coudnt afford or who were never taught to use.
TO BE LAZY? i work here 11 hours a day 11 a.m to 10.pm and 2 hours of travel other than this,My father is of age 65 and even now he works some 10 hours a day,my brother works 12 hours and someimes even more. We do not live a highly luxurious life that has made us lazy. Likewise,there are a zillion Pakistanis who work in scorching heat in the farms to just earn a few rupees, there are a zillion more who work day and night on the roads or in shops yet again to earn a bit. None of them are living a ‘comfortable’ life.![]()
Yet again, the circumstances are different, many of the women here are house wives that is why they have become LAZY, many of the women are so poor that they work in other’s houses and clean them maybe that makes them LAZY. We do not live a very comfortable life,it may seem because when a family from abroad comes everyone takes a few days off or takes time out to enjoy with you all just to provide you alll the attention and fun .. they are not lazy.
I didnt mean to offend anyone, but my point is if you dislike a certain type of people, talk to ur parents about it and not discuss and insult them on public forums cuz we dont do that either for anyone. It is just another stereo type we all keep facing now and then! ![]()
Just dont generalize your views cuz of 2-3 specific persons.
