Yes you heard me. We Pakis have great music bands like Junoon. They rock and roll. Also Vital signs , (even though I think Junaid Jamshed is a sissy) but they still make quality music.
And we dont make songs like
Chuma Chuma Daide Chuma !
(Even though This song reflects my inner most desires )
And Yes we also have Imran Khan. (Even though he is an explayboy he talks about Islam ? ) but still he is Number One.
And yes Our Prime Minister is balder than your Vajpayee.
Ok fine you have Amitabh but we have … we have … uh uh ummmm we have …
we have … Jan Rambo? (Ok that was a mistake)
Yaar maira kya qasoor haay.
I love madhury , and amitabh ,and khan , and whats the name of the new lady...kajol...specially her , ,,,,, and janoon, and noor jehan , and..........
You know whats the most hilarious part --- Guess who invited Michael Jackson in India --- Bal Thackeray !!!!!! (I am serious). And his loonies attacked a theatre in Bombay which was playing the film "Fire" on the grounds that the films lesbian theme is alien to our culture ! So Bal Thackeray's logic seems to be that while "Fire" is full of vulgarity, Michael Jackson's pelvic thrusting dances are not. I am not a big fan of Michael Jackson, but I feel that politicians in our countries should stop being the moral guardians of the people. I also hear arguments from Pakistanis saying that there's been a cultural invasion from India through films --- I really don't think that Pakistani culture is so weak as to be threatened by Indian films. I any case I never understood why Pakistani's are so obssessed by Indian films...I personally am not a big fan. Although I must add that I like Madhuri --- but I am sure it must be because she is Maharashtrian like me -- hehe !!
I mean I practically grew up in an enviroment where every one was obsessed with Indian films and Pakistani Dramas.
But I always kept myself away from them. The songs, everything.
I always managed to get an English movie to fulfill my needs of entertainment. And to be Extremely honest, I've learnt ENGLISH WATCHING MOVIES.
Laugh all you want but I know its true.
I was never taken in ESL in school when I arrived in Canada. They took me to the most difficult class of English there was.
The sole reason being, the English songs, movies and a little help from CNN.
sorry about this Kasmirigirl, but i am not sure about Ur statement on kashmir.
Internationally Pakistan has got P.O.K. and India is got Kashmir.This might seem shocking to Pakistanis who always believe that kashmir was what pakistan had and what indians got was I.O.K.
The question as to whom Kashmir belongs is a much hackneyed one and i am not competent enough to pass any statements on the topic, but i had (as an indian), always thought from my schooldays that kashmir was a part of indian territory.
I was shocked when i saw an american atlas showing what i thought was one third of what india claimed to be kashmir marked as disputed territory under pak control, later i found that this was called azad kashmir and there were quite a few articles on the net that ,(quite conflictingly),claimed that people here were happy under pak control as well as rebelling under pak control.Obviously showing how difficult it is to get an unbiased report!The first time i visited this site, i found the words I.O.K. and was really surprised;i had heard of POK till then.
It was then that i understood why pakistanis hate indians so much..and vice versa..,though its actually much ado about nothing.a paki who is used to iok will surely not accept the idea of pok.and when u studied in school that kashmir is Ur country's part , u surely wont readily accept any claims by other countries!
Oops,sorry if i hurt any feelings there , got really carried away!
bye for now.
But, Queer it is the Kashmiri people that call Azad Kashmir the Pakistani one, while the Indian one is IOK.
International organizations like the UN, also have called for votes by the Kashmiri people to decide which country they wish to go to. India refuses to allow this. When a country refuses to allow independent voting and uses strict army control well then occupation is occurring.
The governmental decisions to title territory is purely political.
But….. I don’t think this is the forum to discuss the political situation. If you want to take it to political and we can gupp about it there.
Plus it would detract from stud’s thread.

good job kg.... we also have Pakistan lovers and we have confused entities who cant distinguish themselves from the pits of india.
watching a three hour long indian film with the same old "boy after a girl" story and the same old "public dances" of women exposing their tummies through the ugliest dress in the world called sarhi. Granted the heroine might be pretty but that too is due to loads of makeup (which should be put on the rest of the dancers as well so we dont gross out).
Pakistanies have much better taste than that.
cheers,
Mundyaa,
U r right about indian hindi movies..they are real crap, atleast most of them, but a handful of them might be really worth watching.
Ur views about saris is a very debatable one,personally i feel that i helps the wearer if she isnt all that well figured....but it might not look so good on slim girls...
In any case,indian movies do turn out to be the best from the subcontinent..i recently saw an award winning Iran made movie....it looked really absurd,one scene in particular,a man's wife faints in his house,and he doesnt even hold her as she falls and has to go to his neighbours house to get a lady to lift her onto her bed ; all this because islamic fundamenlists don't allow actors to even touch actresses in a movie,whatever they may be acting as!This is the other extreme!!
I haven't seen any pak movies,but i have seen some paki actresses act in hindi movies...they were actually good...anyway, i dont watch the usual stereotyped bollywood movies...they,as u say,reflect the poor taste of the indian public..but when the pak hockey team arrived in madras for SAF games a coupla years back, they were furious that they werent allowed to watch 'Rangeela' on the first day due to security reasons....doesn't this mean a paki too has the same poor taste as an indian?only in pak,a movie like 'rangeela' would never have crossed the censorboard?(Not that i liked rangeela,it was just another junk movie)!
No offence meant :)
Have u recently(or within 10 yrs)seen a paki movie?
Doesnt look like my friend...we are not far behind Indian movies. Infact our movies cross the limits of decency. Then we have a good no. of R rated movies too. My point being that there are all kinds of sickos.
But if u want to talk abt paki dramas, yes they are of standard and much better than india's.
