Re: what is your fav Pakistani bday song.
Hmm..i don’t think in traditional communities there was much cultural celebration to it but celebration of bdays were seen as a middle-upper class thing. My nani doesnt know for sure her bday and she was in a family of 6 kids.
In my family tradition is to remind ourselves of our blessings that we are all here together, to have cake and then my dad sings “baar baar din yeh aaye” to me, we have khas dinner. all my family feeds me little bit of the cake. I get gifts and sweets which i share with people in my class. Also for dinner we have sweets like kaju ki barfi and kheer. The tradition of bday bumps is apparently common amongst college kids. I also get new clothes sometimes. Also, it’s a good time to get duas from your parents.
here is some more detail.
