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”.

Re: The Burgers - Pull ke uss paar

lols. our Peela school was co-education and it shared a common wall with another peela school for girls only. There were many incidents of throwing stuff (rough papers, pieces of chalk, chewing gum (after chewing) in each others school

I remember, when our towns girls high school was getting repaired, they made an arrangement that there will be two shifts in boys high school. Morning one for girls and evening one for boys. My cousin used to go in morning shift and she got our class-room, so I was aware of stories from both sides. On first day, our teacher made us realise that girls are so sughaR and you boys are phoohaR after seeing embroidery wale dusters From next day, desks were full of nasty messages against each other and the girls had to leave within a week
