Women are fantastic creatures. Pakistani women are no different. But behind every Pakistani woman lurks a dark shadow that feasts on other people’s patience and sometimes the maid’s sanity. Yes, I’m talking about the shadeed chiraandi aurat inside every aurat, the intehai shodi inside every moti and the apa inside every phapa. As a woman, I might have had the same

If she is over 25 and still not getting married, then either you wed her off to your self- proclaimed handsome son without jahez or mind your own business. Similarly if she IS married but does not have kids yet, stop trying to be her
gynaecologist and pop a child out of her. -
Your son in 4th grade would do better in
school, if only you pay attention and help him with his studies. Instead of sending him to a tuition teacher every day, at 5pm sharp. -
It would be great if you actually make at least one of the dishes that you excitedly learn and make notes of from watching Masala TV.

Imran Khan buhat acha hai, and the fact that you voted for him makes him even more haseen. But if that’s the only point you’re going to raise every time there is a discussion on politics, then don’t bother giving people your two cents.
