Re: Our Folk Stories
Cool Breeze,
First thing that i want to clear is that folk stories don't belong to pakistan, they belong to cultures. And people like folk stories and folk music because it gives them true sense of there selves.
I can say that i'm pakistani, but what does this mean only that i live in pakistan or it was made some time ago, but all this is too shallow, to really feel myself i had to attend to my athenic self, like punjabi, sindhi, pashtun, balouch etc. Now in that ethnic self one can feel at home, one can feel real.
And folk is the part of one's self, it makes you real.
One doesn't like folk because, one likes that story to happen in his family, one likes it because one feels it. One feels the environment the people and how they felt and what was the whole scenario. And this interest and taste is something developed.
And still you don't like then do ask a question from yourself that where do you belong? To get an answer from yourself give sometime to yourslef because you might not know this...
