Great Shows Of Years Past.

There is a channel called Naqsh. You call-in and select the shows
through the telephone. Tou kal we were watching the old comedy prog.
Alif Noon. It was the one where Allan convinces Nanha to become a
punjabi buDmaash, so they can thugg people by terrorizing them.

Nanha dons a wig and a mustache, wears a Ta’weez, long kurta, Dhoti
and armed with a phal kaatney wali choti churri they begin to terrorize
the mohalla. Nanha corners a rah’geer and asks for money, he says he
ain’t got none. After going through his pockets, he says "Acha, apni
juTTi uTaar kai vakha". The guy reluctantly takes off his moja and
hidden inside is a wad of bills.

"Aey kee aey OYE! ?, asks Nanha. The guy says meekly, "Aey Tey
jee meri khala Dey pesay aa". "OYE!", lalkaars Nanha and says sar-
castically, "Tou apni khala da account juTTi’ch kholiya hoya aey ?".
Haha. Oh man, classic Nanha.

Then they get home and Allan begins eating a chicken from their ill-
gotten gains, but will only give Nanha haDDiyaN. So Nanha takes
the sookhi hoi murghi kee taang from him and asks facetiously, "Allan,
iss sey kiya meiN shalwar meiN naaRa dalouN ?". lol

Then somebody comes at the door and Allan goes to see who’s there.
Peechay sey Nanha jalDi jalDi, haRup haRup finishes the whole chicken.
Allan comes back and asks angrily, "Yea murghi kahaN gai sari ?".
Nanha retorts nonchalantly with a wave of his hand, "Allan, ussey meiN
nay DuRbay meiN banD kar Diya hai". Allan yells, "Abey konsay
DuRbay meiN...?" and Nanha bursting into giggles pats his stomach
"Iss meiN" and a furious Allan bends over to strike him... lmao.

Gawd, those shows were really good. I wonder why Kamal Ahmed
Rizvi isn’t writing stuff, now that there is hundred times more freedom
in the press for his sort of satire and wit. Saw him on a panel recently
and he mashallah, looked quite well. If anybody wants to check out
these shows online, here are the links to five shows here< /a>:

Kabab House, Sugar Hoarding, Disposal Shop*, Begging & Showbiz.


* In the Disposal Shop when that guy picks up the kettle...even Allan
had a hard time, keeping a straight face. :)
