Mohajirs Are People Too

salim [As long as the bride is a pure Lucknavi haseena in a red Nur Jahani gharara, I will not only do a bhangRa but a breakdance, mashed potato, and the Watusi]

haha! i have no clue what a "nur jahani gharara" is, but I am A-ok with marrying any Lucknavi haseena of "pehlay aap, naheen pehlay aap" fame.

and besides the opportunity to watch you dance watusi is an added incentive :)

zeemax #49 {"But anyway, I was referring to the choice between the two titles. Can I have both? I'm greedy LoL! "}

Zee,
I will put you down for both - you got my vote! The final word is with Teefay - after all, it's his board.
The Dutch started giving out trinkets to Injuns (they got Manhattan for about $26 worth of fake jewels) everyone is fooling those poor aborigines with shiny stuff. LOL

How many gold necklaces do you have? LOL

Not necklaces Yaar, chains ... you know the cheap trinkets. Do you think I'ld give those bimbos gold necklaces? LoL!

But anyway, I was referring to the choice between the two titles. Can I have both? I'm greedy LoL!

Atif #47 {"hahaha! thanks for sharing these secrets of Karachi. I suppose this yearning on both sides to hear each other's urdu is what keeps PIA busy shuttling passengers between Lahore and Karachi. ...

And in this spirit of Punju-Mojo peace on chowk, I am willing to come over to your place to have genuine Karachi biryani and sheermal, as long as you accept to do bhangRa on my wedding."}

Teefay,

There are so many bad things said about Pakistan, but the enemas don't realize that Pakis have always solved their problems in bed. LOL - I am really encouraged by the ever-increasing and almost commonplace joy of Pakis intermarrying. I guess this is what the Quaid meant by the "unity" in "faith, unity, discipline."

salim #43 [After all is said and done, one yearns for the smooth Punjoo accent after hearing "Aarya, Jaarya, and bol ke bolay kiya bolay Hazraat, ek chai maarna" all day long.

The only culturally imposing figures among the Mohajirs are the remnants of the Lucknavi nobility. When these masters of the Urdu tongue show up, the Biharis swallow their paan ki peek, the Dilliwaalas forget whether they were aarya or jaarya, and even the Pride of this Rajput goes Injun. ]

#45, Zee,
How many gold necklaces do you have? LOL

#44 Posted by Salim_Chauhan,

... jeweller by copulation. LOL. Do I only get to choose one or can I keep both?

#43, Zeemux,
LOL - Of course you have your pick - either Lucknavi by injection or jeweller by copulation. LOL

#42 Posted by Salim_Chauhan,

Am I included somewhere in the cocktail below? After all you have honored me with the title of 'Lucknavi by injection'!

Atif,
Now that the Punju/Mojo wars have subsided, except for Chacha's lingering but definitely more positive jihad, let me share some secrets regarding Karachi. Our beloved city is a composite of both India and Pakistan and is the world's largest Urdu speaking city and the most lucrative market for Bollywood movies. Sindhis, Punjabis, Baluchis, Pathans, Makranis, Kashmiris, and yes, descendants of refugees from India make this a fabulously cosmopolitan city.

Not all the refined, urbane, Urdu-speaking charmers are Mohajirs. In fact, a good number are native Karachiites of Punjabi persuasion who would easily make any Dilliwaala look like a Paindoo. There are numerous Sindhis who speak Urdu like nawabs and one wouldn't know the difference if their names weren't Soomro or Baloch. There are so many Pathans in our family that a relative recently lamented that he was not able to narrate some of his favorite jokes.

The mastery of Urdu by Mohajirs is another myth. You should hear the real lovers of Urdu complain about the Dilliwaalas, Bumbaiwaalas, and Hyderabadis (Deccan, that is). After all is said and done, one yearns for the smooth Punjoo accent after hearing "Aarya, Jaarya, and bol ke bolay kiya bolay Hazraat, ek chai maarna" all day long.

The only culturally imposing figures among the Mohajirs are the remnants of the Lucknavi nobility. When these masters of the Urdu tongue show up, the Biharis swallow their paan ki peek, the Dilliwaalas forget whether they were aarya or jaarya, and even the Pride of this Rajput goes Injun.

{" If he asks me whether I would have four wives, I tell him that getting married to two would be a good start"}

Teefay,
Beautifully humorous. I like that one. LOL

zeemax: how does one get "beaten into a pulp" by words? if i say something stupid, i would love to get beaten into a pulp since that would make me smarter. but just abuse or insults are like the guy who says "ajee, agar ham ghoosay ho gaye to aisee too-too-maiN-maiN sunaiN gai kay chhatti kaa dood yaad aa jai gaa!!" :-)

But seriously, I dont mean to be offensive to Atif, and I think he has a great sense of humor when is in proper form, and posts cool pictures. Same for Ali, although his taste in pictures is a bit different.

But what good are chowk buddies if they dont point out some minor blemishes in your otherwise exalted persona?? I am sure even God Almighty could benefit from some criticism.

tahmed32,

Tahmed bro, there are only 2 people on Chowk I would never lock horns with, whom would easily beat me to a pulp. One is Ali_1, the other your current adversary ... LoL!

Ras #37 and you, my friend, are a good example of the "silent majority" of Pakistan. the rogue general, mqm ghoondas, pmlq lotas, terrorist leaders and now the wadera-wannebe are in it for no one but themselves.

Pakistanis should stand united against all of these criminals. The diverse cultures of Pakistan from the frontier to karachi complement one another, and enrich Pakistan, and together inshallas "We Shall Overcome" these scoundrels who wish to enslave Pakistanis.

These so called "Mohajirs" are as good or as bad as

the rest of the ethnic groups in Pakistan. They

have their share of scum like the others.

But by and large Pakistani ethnic groups consist of

a silent majority that are basically nice people who

have been manipulated by those using the ethnicity and

religion card.

#35 atif: spare me your bs. i am well aware of complex-ridden individuals like you who try to overcome their complexes by acting as if they are God's gift to the world.
