Very nice. I have missed those lethargic, beady eyed buggers since I left pakistan. Looking forward to try nishana bazi on them when I go back. Thanks for bringing back the memories.

My basic reason to move out of Pakistan were the lizards. I enjoyed my life without them till I moved to Florida. My first day, walking from the parking lot to my car on the side walk, I saw thousands of lizards running madly from one side to another. I was just petrified about them climbing up my skirt.
They were tiny with long tails , very agile and swift unlike the fat nasty heroinchee lizards back home. I guess they worked out and were on Atkins diet too. Also they knew where their territory ended and ours began. They stayed out. we stayed in. They never interfered in our business, we never shot them with our guns, jooties or gave them any galyaaN.

as kids, we preferred chopping off just the lizard`s tail. the lizard lived. it was cool watching the tail twist and turn.
