Re: You know you are a Karachite when…

  1. You get shocked when someone stops at a yellow light
    Some (edited after some people felt offended on the use of word while ask me not to get offended on such a crappy post - hypos!!!) dun have lights where they ride bail gaaRi and gadhaa gaaRi so they get shocked seeing any light.

  2. You never really know what to say when someone asks you
    what there is to see in Karachi
    I dunno which Karachite you have been hanging around.. there is a lot… i can go on and on but to name a few:
    The downtown Sadar, Empress Market, Tower, Light House, Keemaari, Island of ManoRa, Guru Mandir, Tibet Center, Shaharh-e-Faisal, Quid-e-Azam Int’l airport, Aaraam baagh, Khaaliqdeena Hall, Mazaar-e-Quaid, I.I. Chundrigar road, ghaseeta khan kaa haleem, Mazedaar haleem, Chodhry Rehmat Ali Qulfi Mechant, Bundoo Khan kay meraTh kaY paraaThay, Habib Bank, Neti jeti kaa bridge, teen hatti kaa bridge, laalu khet, burns road, fryer(sp?) road, zamzama, boat bason, disco bakery, National stadium, University road, Karachi University, NED university, Usmaniya restaurant, Avari tower, Sinbaad theme park, water cozy park… (to be cont’d)

  3. You give ;missed calls
    because we are more expressive than some paindoos :p… missed calls mean you are missing that person… creative…!!!

  4. You have never really seen a tourist
    Right!!! and all those caucasians wandering on the street of sadar are from Jehlum

  5. Its December and you attend 5 mehndis/shaadis in one night and end up meeting the same people at each of them
    quite an exxegeration… one occassion starts after 7:00 PM and go until 2:00 AM… Einstein! tell me how’s that possible scientifically.

  6. You use the phrases ;whats the scene?scene onhaior ;whose she sceening with?
    No, we use more like… kiyaa bachi hai… yaa phir .. aur baabaY! kiyaa ho raa hai? Lash pash Pappu chummi dot com buss… ziadah bharam naheeN karaa:smilestar:

  7. You still have some of Everest Videos movies and dont plan to return them
    are u living in stone age… we have cables now.

  8. You;ve met a Parsi
    not really… but there are Parsies living in karachi.. true..

  9. Youve given an exam at Regent Plaza
    **No, I have given exams in centers like Ibrahim Ali Bhai school, Ali Ali School, Delhi Govt. College, D.J. Science college and the likes.. but Regent plaza is ok too.. never been there.. not every karachiite go there for exam.. quite a generalization… **

  10. You feel you never have to wait in line if you are with lay-dis (ladies)
    That’s true for any pakistani, believe me, I have seen it all while travelling back and forth from USA to there..

  11. Youve bought a dvd of a movie that hasnt even been released yet
    I am sure you will find them in Lahore, Peshawar, Quetta too.. you want me to give you the names of the market now:)?

  12. You actually go ;out for coffee
    wrong..!!! we go out for Pizza after having dinner :-p

  13. You used to go for tutions even though didnt need them
    oh man! believe me I needed them like anything.. College was clossed 2/3 of the time..

  14. You say that you really like that restaurant/shop and someone says oh yea, my family owns that
    Because every karachiite is a proud businessman… If it was not for Karachi, and its business, there would never be a prosperity in the beautiful city of Lahore… karachi at the moment is the port of pakistan.

  15. You catagorize people as burgers or melas
    quite wrong again… we categorize people as EDUCATED vs NON-EDUCATED… burger fall under the category of PaRhay likhaY jaahil.

  16. You roll down your car window and you can actually touch the car next to
    you
    Again, it tells you that you have not been in karachi… you can not touch the next car… you can pull a ‘chamaaT’ or ‘repTaa’ on the driver sitting in next car.

  17. You go by landmarks not street names
    because Karachi is HISTORICAL.

  18. Your only argument in the Lahore/Karachi debate is well we have a beach
    Proved you wrong already above.

  19. You own either a Corolla or a Civic
    stop it… most of us own W-11, 5, 2D, U-4, N, 5E etc.

  20. You never realized that North Nazimabad was actually in the North
    North of what?

  21. You never have dinner before 1am in shaadi season
    we are not stupid to haver dinner before going to shaadi… paindu!!!

  22. Youve always wondered what khayaban meant
    never wondered.. it’s an urdu word for Avenue of a garden and Urdu hamaaraY ghar kee loNdi hai .. yeh alag baat hai kaY iss kaY saath hum naY sulook loNdiyoN walaa hee kiya hai..

  23. You know the telefun number by heart even though you dont
    know what telefun&is/does
    that comes handy when making prank calls but again we cross check the numbers prey we end up calling our khala jaan kaa ghar :rolleyes:

  24. You blame everything on K.E.S.C
    NOPE.. only the Load shedding.

  25. Your school gets closed when it rains
    Quite wrong.. it opens only in rain..

  26. You know your city is a hole but you love it anyways
    hole? learn some english please… it has ‘W’ before it…

  27. You are a Karaichiite when there is no such thing as over time yet
    everyone sits in their office till after 9 pm.
    **what??? i thought everyone leaves at 1:00 PM **

28 You dont take the police seriously at all.
because we dun understand their punjabi lingo much…

29 You are afraid to go to a hospital because you might get a disease.
true for govt. run hospital.. kabhi aao naa karachi…

30 You have atleast 5 servings of some form of caffeine each day
Pathans in karachi, on the contrary, rely on Naswaar…

31.There is no such thing as lunch.
We call it Brunch

32 To you wildlife means crows
and hawks too… get your facts straight.

  1. You think cows live on the streets
    no they can be found in pinds too… but we dun have one..

  2. Sunday morning starts at 1 pm.
    err… it actually never starts… we start the day in the evening.

  3. You ll go to the coolest place to eat but on your way back will want
    paan from the khoka
    you are talking about UNEDUCATED lot… apni uThak beThak theek karo..

  4. Winter means the first 15 days of January.
    wrong.. it’s only last 7 days of december

  5. A short drive takes 25 minutes to get from A to B
    ofcourse, because it’s the biggest city… jalnaY waaloN kaa moo kaalaa…

  6. You actually pray for the electricity to come back.
    **no, we pray that it never goes out… if it goes out, the only thing we have to do is be patient and curse non-stop **

  7. Eating at KFC is a life and death gamble
    old story..

  8. You can smell fish while driving and dont complain.
    we have the ocean.. what can we say?

  9. m on Shahre Faisal is always a valid excuse for arriving late
    Big city you know :smooth:

  10. A road with bumps and manholes still qualifies as a road.
    and with rickshaw, still as public transport…

  11. Beggars travel in the local bus
    even beggers are good enough businessmen that they afford to travel in public transport…

  12. You see street lights on during the day and not during the night.
    at night our moto is:
    bijli bachaaiye
    apnaY liye
    qoum kaY liye

  13. Youre a Karachiite when you think public buses kill people everyday
    we dun have to be a rocket scientist to think about it… we read that in news papers… you know educated people…

  14. You think people are not cool if they havent been robbed atleast 3 timesin their life.
    says who? our standard is lowered to 1 time atleast, given the cell phones era that we are living there in karachi.

  15. You know youre in khi if you cant go home when the president is in town.
    NEWS FLASH: that only happens on August 14th or March 23rd

  16. You go to sleep listening to rickshaws and wake up to the sound of one
    not everyone lives on roads …rolleyes

  17. Your lungs have enough smoke to match a chain smoker.
    actually Tibet center has more smoke in the air.. i dunno what you are smoking…

  18. You know you are in Karachi when there is two way traffic on a one way
    road.

and 6 lanes on a 3 lane highway and a 7th on the side walk…

Re: You know you are a Karachite when...

^^ Stop defending your city Mr. even though many points you got are right. Anyway Karachi is still not a very developed city (I'm from there). Another point from me -

  • You think having a computer in your house is "maadern"
