Not sure why this sudden patriotic bent, but list some Pakistaniat that the world would be vastly better off adopting?
now comes the anti-climax (not really OKAY )
Naan - hai…I want naan to be as ubiquitous as pizza. I want every corner shop to have a tandoor or its equivalent for fresh off the rack naans…nom nom nom…I want naans to be mainstream. I want naans to be served in corporate breakfasts, in summer festivals, in bars, just about everywhere.
Uff - Nothing captures the frustration quite as well as Uff. I am sure it would roll off everybody’s tongue as easily as it does ours. With the growing atheism, I suggest atheists should try replacing Gosh and omigod with religiously neutral Uff.
Add more. No cliched responses…actually go ahead with them!

Dhoti - not my choice but my father thinks(and hopes) that it will take over world fashion by storm one day (pun fully intended).
Miss Meera Jee - can’t get any more entertaining than that. oh wait…
Yusuf Gillani - yup beats meera hands down with his current interview. I hope he gets adopted by somalians and gets mistaken for being a woman. nuff said.
Re: Pakistanism that the rest of world should adopt?
Booooo! Most of these things mentioned in this thread aren't even Pakistani, but something that Pakistanis adapted themselves..Naan, even Afghans and Arabs eat Naan.
Dhoti, even people in South East Asia wear Dhoti, they just have a diferent name for it, Sarong.
I want some Pakistani Trucks here in my country, they look really awesome. We had one back in 2000 at the Expo and people were going totally coo-coo about it...oh yeah, please don't bring any Pakistani Truck drivers along! Thanks!

Re: Pakistanism that the rest of world should adopt?
Pakistani craftsmanship :k: It’s unique and beautiful! I remember when we went to Naraan we bought these beauuuuuuttttiiiiffuuullllll handbags and we saw the same handbags in Lahore being sold for 5 times the price that we bought them for! Outside of Pakistan, you could sell them for 10 times the price and they *will *sell because they’re just that gorgeous!
Everything from the architecture, woodwork, textiles, fashion, pottery, handicrafts … and my favourite
