To My Dear Northerners

This guy once pursued me for sometime with the intention of getting married. I gave in and asked him to send his parents over to my place. We are Karachiites. My parents were fine with it as long as the guy is educated and decent. However, his mom came over and then when she went back, she told her son how she isn’t comfortable with this coz we weren’t Punjabis??!?! umm YOUR son was the one who pursued me and now you have the audacity to tell me that I am not good enough for your son coz you guys are Punjabi? Needless to say, I gave him a piece of my mind and never spoke to him again.

Another friend of mine actually got involved with a Punjabi guy and his mom also said that she doesn’t trust my friend coz she isn’t Punjabi! My parents were initally very comfortable with having their kids get married to anyone in Pakistan regardless of their ethnicity. But after they saw how that guy’s mother acted and when they heard several stories regarding Punjabis preferring their own kind, they have become paritcular about ethnicity and are afraid to get us married to Punjabis.

Not all Punjabis are like this though but Punjabis and Pathans are very particular about their ethnicities whereas Karachiites are not. Probably coz being a Karachiite isn’t an ethnicity…we are just city people!

Yes city girl
Lahore, Islamabad and Rawalpindi and other places are small villages na
