Pakistan turned 65 today still standing strong in the face of everything thrown its way;

What is a Pakistani?

• We like imported stuff
• We criticize others freely
• We are very hospitable and would offer you tea even if the pantry is empty
• We are politically very well versed in world politics but not in our own
• We are Passionate people whose passions swing like the pendulum of the clock
• We are very flexible, we can do any job without much training especially overseas
• We are always late, unless we are a servant or working for a white master
• We are racists when it comes to choosing a spouse for our son, we want all white or at least look alike to a whitey but the morals of a good muslim
• We are serious in private but light hearted with friends.
• We never stop long enough to be depressed.
• We have adapted to western values
• We love Disney
• We have a love hate relationship with most of our neighboring countries.
• We are deeply patriotic.
• We want to get rich fast, so we send our children overseas to earn for us and then pine for them.
• We are arrogant and proud of it
• We are secretly stauch muslims but if you looked at us there is nothing to show in our appearance as such.
• We love to look down our noses at other provinces (the one that we do not belong to)
• We are basically very just people at heart , but try to be cynical about it
• We criticize with humor
• We love to let our women either show a lot of skin or none at all
• We revere Mecca, the Kaaba and our Prophet pbuh
• We would fight for the honor of our Prophet pbuh but not for the honor of our women
• We say what we “do not do” and do what “we do not say”
• We are still stuck in the “coconut “ model, white on the inside, brown on the outside.
• We show our superiority by putting other people down (most of the time)
• We feel we will always be Free
• We do not want to change and do not like people who change and become “fundoos”
• We are very rich, very poor and then all of those in between who pretend to be something they are not.
• We love each other no matter where in the world we are
• We may say we are agnostic, areligious but at the end of the day we ask Allah to forgive us and ask Him to give us more:)
