Do you use national masala? Biryani or Pilaow?

I’ve used a few National ones, but I find them more spicy.
I prefer Biryani.

@Shak09

Who’s your favorite Mod? (HINT) Do you think Life1 is a fair representation of our society? Would you ever consider writing something very personal in Life1? Which guppay/guppan gives the best advice? Who is the guppy/guppan you’ve known since you joined? (Not TLK bhai)

I don’t have a favorite
I’d say half of it. The other half is just drama…but them we desis are dramatic .
No.
In Life1, I like the advice of TLK, RV, DC6, Sahar02, Phil, and a few others. It’s not like others don’t give good advice, but I relate to these people the most.
I’ve known X2, Ehsan bhai, Muzna, UZ, rolla [she was the first person that was sweet to me and I can never forget that], Khumz, Phil, Sveety, Lusi…

What is your view regarding those two psychopaths in Pakistan who have chosen to eat human’s meat…? What are your 3 major wishes in the world? If you were a president of Pakistan, how would you control poverty, education system, and establishment?

They obviously have a serious psychological problem.
I wish distances weren’t so far so I could visit my parents more often. I wish we’d just leave some things to God and stop playing God, and I wish we were less barbaric.
I’d hire educated and honest people as my ministers.

If I decide to show up at your doorsteps, how would you react ??? Would you be excited? or think of me as a big retard? lol hahahaha

I would think that you are borderline retard, but I’d invite you in and feed you well !

How do you think me as guppy?

I haven’t really given any thought on this subject but you must be a nice person.

1. have you ever changed your point of view on any topic based on stuff you have encountered on a life1 discussion? 2. what are three of your fav dishes to cook? 3. what are three of your fav dishes to eat? 4. when were you first licensed to drive? 5. if you had the time and energy to take up one charitable cause, what’d it be? 6. who would you like to slap with a chappal? no reasons necessary, but feel free to do so. 7. what do you do when you are angry or upset? 8. what things have you had to give up/place on hold since having kids? do you plan on going back to any of these in the future? 9. what is your best talent?

1. I have never really changed my pov but have become more flexible in my thought process about the issue.
2. I like cooking boiled eggs, toast and tea. I hate cooking actually.
3. I like dal chaval with aloo ki sabzi and all these condiments [see above somewhere], biryani and sarson ka saag with makki roti and white butter.
4. At 21.
5. I’d like to run and manage an orphanage. It’s one of my dreams.
6. There’s a few folks around town that seem to be poking their nose into my affairs. On GS, subscribe to my blaag .
7. Call my husband and vent
8. I gave up my career. No regrets though. I really enjoyed what I did and I’ve slowly started taking on freelance projects and now a part time teaching job which is quite fulfilling. May get back to part time if the timings allow it.
9. I was a good artist at one point. I’m also great at editing stuff. Gimme long reports and I can chop 'em down for ya. I think I host well…don’t know if that’s a talent though…

MY TURNNNN - You sound like you’ve had an amazing childhood. Tell us a couple of stories please! - I know you’re an amazing mommy, but do you ever feel like your widdul ones are missing out on anything? - Life1 saas bahu problems. What is the solution? - Women’s right, do you think they’re severely violated in the desi society? Why do you think that is? - Knowing yourself, what is that 1 thing you would never, ever do. - That one thing you would do if persuaded enough - Are the girls going to get a baby bwuther? - Bestest mod you’ve ever worked with - Worst mod you’ve ever worked with - How awesome was I to work with (truthfully, I can take it ) - Can I continue to pm you to ask questions about recipes. I know I’m horrible and I don’t keep in touch -

• I did have an amazing childhood alhamdulillah. We traveled around the world, a new country every year with my parents. One story: Sometime in the 80s [when you weren’t even born perhaps!], my sis and I were off to India via UK on our own, traveling “unaccompanied” with the staff as parents wanted us to visit our cousins there as well as be able to spend more time with the grandparents back home. They were to join us a few weeks later. At Heathrow, London, I noticed a large crowd in one area and found out it’s Wham! Me being a crazy fan and all, rushed behind them leaving my sister all by herself crying . Of couse the ground staff was around and took care of her and just laughed at me later but I saw George Michael…omg omg omg !!! My sister gives me taaney till this day!
• I’ll find out how amazing I am once my kids are all grown up. Until then, it’s teh consistency of my efforts and my passion that is going to have to play. I think they need to visit our home countries more often. InshaAllah we plan to do that more in the future.
• There is no solution to saas bahu problems as most of them are in the head.
• Yes, women’s rights are violated…mostly by women themselves. It starts off right at the point a daughter is born…the disappointments. Also, moms need to spend more time with their daughters in teaching them the right stuff instead of teaching them to be “chalaak.” Then, daughters should be encouraged to work as well as help around the house. They should be self sufficient in every way. Having said that, they should go into a marriage knowing that they should be good wives to their husbands before they expect them to become charismatic prince charmings. If more women seeked knowledge, they’d find it. But wither they’re raised as gloomy grief stricken self pitying useless citizens or with extreme ideas of independence. Also, dads need to step into the parenting roles more. The confidence a girl gets from her dad is more powerful than from her mother.
• I would NEVER be disloyal to my family.
• If persuaded enough, I’d eat paye and sushi.
• hahha! I don’t think so
• Bestest mods in my forum [from a CM’s perpective]: Sara, Shak, Sahar, CB, SGC, Shehnai, njgal, reha [In no random order] Worst…ummm, I don’t think anyone was that bad but we did let go of some not because they were bad but because of their time constraints.
• I think you were an amazing mod. As my coMod in cafe when I started, you were the one who taught me how to get around the place. You were pretty direct in your style and I take that well because it saves time. As a CM, you were a trendsetter, had a handle on things and super at organizing special events.
• You can PM me anytime for anything.

@UZ

Can u tell us your African Safari story? Tell us about how many lions you have seen? Tell me one great question Who is your best friend

We went to Kenya [Ehsan bhai!!!] when I was 11 or 12. I remember going in a special bus with all these metal enforcements and a protective cage. The guide stopped at this one open spot, asked us all to get out and listen for lion roars. Then in a few minutes he had us all rush back in because he heard these wild lions run towards us, and boy was that a sight! At least 10-12 lions and lionesses…ever so majestic and graceful and powerful, stood around our bus, roared a bit, then settled quietly. Then we moved on.

My best friend is my husband.
And UZ, you too . Thanks for being such a wonderful friend.

Re: Niks answers

@sweet.i.f

what are your views on the younger generation? (not limited to GS) do you feel like you want to go back to work and stop being a stay at home mum sometimes? is there anything you would do different when you were single? have you had any moments in life where you’ve thought it couldn’t get any better? what were they? (birth of the girlies doesnt count in this one, nor does your marriage! be selfish about this question)

I think the younger generation is smarter. But I think they know too much too soon for no fault of theirs but due to the exposure of a fast paced society. Sometimes I do, and so I’ve found myself the part time job you know of. I think I had a pretty fulfilling single life. I had a great childhood, I had abundance of everything, but now is the best time I guess…mashaAllah we’ve come a long way. We had many struggles when we got married but we overcame them together…mashaAllah. But the best is yet to come.

I’m from India, born and raised in Punjab.
Single guys…I don’t really have any advice for them
I guess after being married for almost 15 years I think the secret is in having mutual respect and never taking each other for granted. Don’t ever put your marriage on the back burner.
Intelligence is something your born with pretty much, but cleverness it knowing when to apply it, and where. Yes both traits do help.

Muslims in Indian Punjab! I didnt know there were any muslims in Indian Punjab.

Re: Niks answers

@Niksik

It’s easy to talk the talk. I love “phenko-ing” and remember, I’ kinda old
My daughters are a mix. They get their humor from their dad, some really strange habits like whining if it’s bed time or of they are hungry [very typical dad behavior], getting obsessive over things [again, dad]. All other good habits like being friendly and social, from me .

I never said no to him. I just didn’t say anything when he asked.
If I were an icecream flavor, I’d be a tutti frooty…a colorful mix of sweet and sour. Hubby would be vanilla. Simple and predictable [and delish!]

So how did he ask?
