The Burgers - Pull ke uss paar

Definition of Burger by someone:
"Who exactly are burgers? This is an unanswered question largely because it is an unasked question. The remaining 10% classify for the “Burger” category because they are comprised of youths apparently residing in privileged areas called; Defense housing authority, Clifton or KDA or as they say in Karachi, “Pull kay us par”. The burger category also includes overseas Pakistanis who visit Karachi and are well-exposed to the global issues; be it politics, fashion, economy or eatery. 90% of the city defines burgers as people who have no knowledge or a sense of association with Karachi or Pakistan. The burgers, according to them, tend to live in their own little fantasy world where there is lots of partying, BBQs, beaches, fancy cars, girls, exotic houses, forefathers’ businesses to run, first-class travel tickets for vacations across the globe and are barely concerned with the daily issues of Pakistan like; poverty, crime, unemployment, power shorta! ges, economic meltdown, terrorism, water inadequacy, unexpected hike in oil, rice, flour or sugar prices etc. Their belief is that a burger’s life is all set and there never was or will ever be anything to worry about.

The burgers on the other hand have tolerated this stereotypical terminology for over a decade and a half, and have hence come up with retaliation when exposed to this term. Whenever an individual is referred to as a burger his first reflex is to call the referrer a “Maila”. LOL…This is a term that has evolved over the past 5-8 years, and what it exactly means is also unanswered because it too is largely unasked. According to a few burgers that I met in my recent trip to Karachi during summer time, “Maila” stood for, “Any individual who can’t speak English, is a fashion disaster, belongs to a lower middle class faction of the society, can’t impress girls, does not drive a vehicle, attends public school and eats a lot of PAAN, CHALIA and MANIKCHAN! D”.

Interesting read, but the burgers raised during this election to make their presence felt.

Re: ek Jhappi ek Sutta

:omg: I used to thought that opposite term for Burger is either Bun-Kabab or Paindoo.. but its Maila :rotfl:

Re: The Burgers - Pull ke uss paar

Lol.......yes people refer Maila to BUN KABAB's and there is a particular area to target but, i won't in case anyone gets offended.

Re: The Burgers - Pull ke uss paar

are you referring to MQM’s stronghold. :hehe:

Re: The Burgers - Pull ke uss paar

:stuck_out_tongue: waisy they are like that

i was talking about some other area but, let’s not target areas because we all know where they are.

Re: The Burgers - Pull ke uss paar

righto.. BTW these all burgers think that besides Clifton / defence all areas are maila.

This reminds me comment from my friend who lives near 90. 2 days ago, we took a route crossing through Clifton / Defence due to traffic jam. He said 'kitna saaf suthra ilaqa hai... poore Karachi main aisi hi roads hon to kitna acha ho'. Another friend complained that getting Membership in DHA library is like buying a home in DHA.

Re: The Burgers - Pull ke uss paar

Ary ni there is nothing of that sort. i have burger friends and i have studied with them.There are exceptions that covers all the defence walas and we are bound to blame them all.

Re: The Burgers - Pull ke uss paar

There is also a class which shifted from other slum areas of the city to defense (in fact majority of defense walas) and most of the time this class really behaves like nau-doltiya

Re: The Burgers - Pull ke uss paar

There is another term for thes nau-doltiya and i.e COMPLEXIYE

Re: The Burgers - Pull ke uss paar

Re: The Burgers - Pull ke uss paar

yes maila (filthy,dirty)

Re: The Burgers - Pull ke uss paar

Hmmm... Who is bun kabab? Middle class??

Re: The Burgers - Pull ke uss paar

well what do you think? some says all others who do not fall under the category of burgers are Bun kabab and some says all the mailas are bun kabab's.

Re: The Burgers - Pull ke uss paar

lols. everyone got complexes.. to each there own

Re: The Burgers - Pull ke uss paar

I think I am a bun kabab :@: not maila for sure... :)
