Re: Your Fond Memories

  • **Having tea and biscuits in my nani’s garden, which by the way won the “best garden contest in 2007” :wub:!!! **
  • At night taking long walks with my mom and khala’s and them telling me all about their childhood and my grandfather:wub:
  • Spending time with my bf and riding around on his motoercycle:wub:
  • Waking up at noon or after when everyone is having lunch and the smell is all around the house. :wub:
  • When you get out of the car there is a sudden change in tem, and there is pollution all around you and all you can hear are honks and beeps of people being rude, and also no one knows how to park:wub: (I’m not kidding, otherwise pakiland would not be the same)

Re: Your Fond Memories

I miss ludo too, we use to play in the street at night time, a group of us blocking the street, I’m from a village so everyone is related and knows everyone else so nobody minds. :slight_smile:

I also miss going to the nearest town/city on my bike n then coming back tired out at sunset and the feeling I use to get when I got on the road which lead to my village was unbelievable, after a day away you suddenly meet all these ppl you know workin’ in the fields etc. and shoutin greetins n everyone just feels like one big family… sighhhh..

Harvest time was especially fun, these days life is quite fast paced even in villages so ppl do their own thing but at harvest time the whole paternal tribe/clan gets together at the farm ranch on the ancestral lands outside the village and everyone helps each other cut the wheat and then make bundles, which are then thrown in this great big machine which seperates the grain from the hay..

Then u cum to England and there’s black clouds everywhere, it’s like being thrown in a well without a rope to pull u back out… You crave, you pine for a Ray, just one more Ray of Pakistani Sunishine. :crying:

Re: Your Fond Memories

i miss piracy.......
..
u can get any software or DVD in the world in range of Rs 30-90..
plus any book of the planet sold being compiled not on printed but on photocopied pages from the orignal..
miss those cheap "cinema print" movie cd's of latest flicks videotaped by vendors in theatres.
AAh....
long gone are the good old days

The time after getting married, about 4 weeks, it was just bliss, it was also my first time in pakistan again after 11 years, but it felt like home.

Going on long journeys with my husband, listening to music and just chatting.

Going to Lahore with him and my sweet little sister in law.

Going to the bazaar and seeing and hearing and smelling all the vibrant and colourful smells of pakistan :)

Re: Your Fond Memories

And I can never forget the night of my cousin Mayon when all of a sudden at 1 at night she started moaning ‘‘Kameeno its my wedding-- MY daddy spent all the money and I didnt even get to eat the Ice cream and Paan at the function so all of you are taking me out to Chaman ice cream’’

And all of us partied on road for 2 hours and came back, It was a night t remember :hinna:

Re: Your Fond Memories

Most missing thing is sand storm and twister. Sometimes people said that genies are inside the twister and we always run behind the twister to see them but I don’t think now we have in Pakistan as now every ground has been transformed into a stony building.
