Re: Tell Me Why Are Lottaas called Lottas

Have you seen 'bay painday ka lota?'

Lota is used in bathrooms, ... imagine if lota loses the painda (base) and start beahaving like a football ...

Qazi ji will be spending his time in catching this lota in bath room ward, a lota without painda...ouch ...no dimensions but like a circle, oww it will be rolling everywhere, hey Qazi need a tight hold on it, .... sigh Qazi has to spare his one hand in holding this lota, it is diverting his attention from the 'main point' ... holding and thinking about lota at the same time doing some important 'work' :-p ...

lota is a necessity, ... whether it has base or not, people need lotas...

Re: Tell Me Why Are Lottaas called Lottas

thali kay baingan is a more apt term though.

Re: Tell Me Why Are Lottaas called Lottas

Depends where you are, use lota in bathroom, and baingan while in kitchen :-p

Re: Tell Me Why Are Lottaas called Lottas

well, as u know I invented the dish of lota gosht, and lota maghaz kinda like balti gosht or karahi godht etc, so i can imagine a lota in a kitchen.

Re: Tell Me Why Are Lottaas called Lottas

Re: Tell Me Why Are Lottaas called Lottas

Re: Tell Me Why Are Lottaas called Lottas

yeh bhut porani perm para hai :smokin:

kisi zamanay nay kisi ka intekabhi nishan lota tha, per us nay idher udher lout pout hona churu ker diya…so his behavior is used as an analogy depicting lota. :hehe:

j/k…me have no idea :smiley:

Re: Tell Me Why Are Lottaas called Lottas

Waise it makes more sense hen the base less analogy of kazi Sahab’s Lotta:D

You know in my college, we had a bus with the number plate LOT1234…So somebody wrote A in front of it,:rotfl:

Re: Tell Me Why Are Lottaas called Lottas

Lotta has been forever immortalized by Led Zeppelin in the following song:

Rock On !

Re: Tell Me Why Are Lottaas called Lottas

What about Lota nihari ... nihari made in lota ;-)

agar galti say Qazi sahab nay nihari say bhara lota bathroom main use karlia to ;-)... (imagine:... then he would need a cheeni say bhara lota ;-))

Re: Tell Me Why Are Lottaas called Lottas

I guess; better to use Muslim shower :-D

A Lota without a base is called 'Bay-Qaida Lota' ... amazingly in our culture they have more $value$ than a 'Baa-Qaida-Lota' :-D

Re: Tell Me Why Are Lottaas called Lottas

Baa or Bay ka daor giya Ab tu Al-Qaida-Lottas ka daor hy:D

Re: Tell Me Why Are Lottaas called Lottas

here is your answer on the origins of this term:

The word “lota” or the phrase “Bependi ka Lota” (literrally a “lota without a base”) is colloquially used in a derogatory manner to refer to a person who frequently switches loyalties. This is because a spherical lota without a base tends to roll over in unpredictable directions when kept on uneven ground. The neologism “lotacracy” was coined in Pakistan to describe politicians who frequently switched parties.
