No boxed gifts please

I’m pretty sure she’s being sarcastic…she’s making fun of all the people who think demanding “no boxed gifts” isn’t tacky, rude, and unsophisticated.

Seriously though…how did Pakistanis go from having a culture where one is expected to do proper “takalluf” when being offered a gift (and politely decline the gift out of modesty a few times before actually accepting it) to one where its becoming increasingly acceptable to demand money from your guests right on the invitation. It really is a shame.

**Oh…hard to tell when someone’s being sarcastic online… But you are right on the second point. I guess when people’s mentalities changed; the younger generation is a lot more influenced by goras and their customs. **
