Fauzia’s Rejection

Well done, writer! ;)

I love it.
Well written!
You go Girl!!!

Simple and very effective - three cheers! :)

pity how only a john could love her for who she was...on second thoughts, johns are pretty cute ;)

good for fauzia!

Anokhi,

It would be nice to read about those rare progressive desi single men, their mas and aunties who could care less about the circus and nonsense around lookism...

how come every act of freedom by a ``desi`` woman involves running out into the world and sleeping around?

or maybe that`s just a metaphor women use and that a regressive desi single man like me cannot understand.

and you should also realize the ``mas and aunties`` are themselves women and encourage this behaviour.. ``saas bhi kabhi bahu thi``

You have insightfully captured the pathology ailing the desi community when it comes to the choosing of mates (especially from the perspective of those who aren’t willing to sacrifice themselves at the altar of matrimony). And you have done it with subtlety to boot (well, maybe not so subtle in some places ;)). A great read!

Re: # 8
Miss Sha,

That is absolutely right!! female empowerment!!!!!

Terranova,

What you ``brothas`` dont seem to understand is that a woman`s self determination over her body (reproduction, physical labor, strength gained during practicing sport, martial arts, dancing, etc., ability towards combat, AND sexual pleasure) is a significant as her intellectual development. Controlling and patriarchical language blows the stench of bs over this very obvious and powerful reality.

So rather than even try to change her society, she runs out on the situation. Stories like this do not encourage people to face reality but rather how to avoid it.

And before you jump all over me thinking that I`m just mad the character went off with a gora: I really couldn`t care. It`s not the act, but the reason that is usually given that I get annoyed at.

It seems the ultimate justification is that ``oh well, pakistani men are jerks``

Good one!

It truly shows the color of our culture in this aspect but I believe that slowly and gradually the numbers are changing.

My mom tells me that some of the aunties are so pathetic in this regard that even if they don`t have a son they go out to see girls. ``Bus nazar main rakhlen larki..rishta tu chayye he hota hey aksar``

Re: # 11
I think you`re thinking of Bharati Mukherjee`s short story ``The Wife``.

very fast..

the begining reminded me of a gita mehta short-story (i forget which one..amrita? the one in which a gujju woman is in NY and her husband visits).

arranged marriages should be illegal..

While the situation described here does occur, is it always the men who are jerks? Don`t desi women want partners who are settled abroad, with a big bank balance, big house and a great car? Are you saying women (especially the desi variety) aren`t superficial? I agree with the author in that desis should go after Johns and Janes. Janes are hardworking, usually have a career and moreover, make an effort to stay attractive instead of letting go.

Ms. Sha:

Re: #8

Nicely said, really. The wholistic view of a woman you outline is appealing.

Re: #5
These ``rare progressive desi single men``…where are they? I’m not being facetious at the expense of our desi men many of whom I respect and admire. But honestly, doesn’t it seem that for the most part the progressive desi man is proving to be an elusive myth?

I mean there are desi men who consider themselves progressive (and would take great offense at being thought of as otherwise) but there always seems to be a road block. And doesn`t being ``progressive`` imply continuously moving forward and embracing new ideas and thoughts....? A little disheartening really :).

Terranova,

Please suggest how Fauzia might ``change`` her society. Also include examples of how you change your society.

Secondly, this particular society is constantly congratulating itself on its patriarchical values and how they are ``superior`` to the other cultural values.

Thirdly, part of a woman`s self determination is her ABSOLUTE right to choose where she will nuture herself. I guess thats what so frightening to some....

Kabuliwallah,

Most ABCD women I know have bought themselves cars, houses and have big accounts, thanks to their professional careers.

MiriamK,

Thanks!

Some of my cousins and friends have lovely husbands who are extremely supportive, encouraging, dont buy into the looks/color nonsense and are a lot of fun. They exist. :)

I`ve noticed that the females of the in-laws household are more vicious towards brides and prospective brides.

ha! ha! The revenge of the Pakistani females. This is indeed the way to teach these paki-boys and their ``my son is a royal prince``.

Here is another one (from real life): my friend, (lets call him Pervez) was tall, handsome and a genius. went to Oxford, UK. gave inferiority complexes to the rest of us. came back to pakistan to get a bride. mama took him to oodles of homes, and he did not care for anyone of them. he never married.

a couple of decades passed. then he declared himself to be gay, moved in with his european pal. Pervez and Joe lived happily ever after.

I don’t think it’s as simple as “Pakistani men are Jerks”; a generalization I would never presume to make. I think the writer’s lament is about the system; in that it’s a systemic problem. You say: “rather than even try to change her society”. Sigh….if only it were that easy :).

I am an educated desi woman living in the West and haven’t even been able to make much of a difference in the values of the local Pakistani community. So, how does a Pakistani woman (living in Pakistan) with considerably less opportunities and education try to change an entire country? And quite honestly T, changing a society when it is firmly entrenched on certain issues can be hard on the spirit :).

terranova: this is not a case of avoiding reality. this is creating a new reality. one that is another step towards the liberation of pakistani women from the chains of a primitive culture. a reality that pakistani men have to deal with.

PS: Meera goes to bollywood. Fauzia goes to UK. Paki-boys are left with one another and the chicken next door. ha! ha!

Re: # 21

hamidm, thank you for posting my pic...i`ve been looking for it everywhere while you`ve been holding it all along...shame on you for that one.

But you may have caused the non-mehram ladies (for me) to commit a visual sin with my beautiful sh`er al-leyha; the impressive left profile, etc.

Lastly, kindly do not impose the farangi title on me. I still have 3 slots open (lobbied by the children, #1 is almost ready to welcome 2, 3, & 4), and the ninja ladies may not appreciate the Mr. with my name.

apnay chances to kho chukay aap Amerika mein baith k; meray chances kis chakkar mein dubana chahtay ho bhai? :-)~~

......anouzobillah !.......what is the world coming to - women want to be treated like people?....... what is next`` ........ children want to be heard ?.......... verily, these are the signs of the day of reckoning ..........

........ i wonder what he has to say about all this ???.........

mr. ntsyed

you go kabuli.. its high time desi girls started kissing some toads and other critters.

Our culture is the best. The west is sick and perverted (Couples kissing and holding hands is considered quite acceptable there. I have seen it on TV). We have always been morally superior to them and will continue to be till the end of the world. Do not say anything against our culture. Warna main tumnhe daikh loonga.

I think you people are barking up the wrong tree.

First, if you look at it logically, a girl who is unable to find a suitable mate under arranged setting is most likely not to find a mate in unarranged setting either. An adjustment of exepcted standards by girl may help in this case; even though the statistics suggests that probability of success increases with the increase in the number of attempts girl makes to contact opposite sex, but the facts support the different outcome. In those societies where geneder mixing is common the probablity of a woman getting married is down right abyssmal.

Second, it is a myth that dark complexion equals being unattractive. That is the reason every pubescent boy in our school was in love with Noreen. Boys usually referred to her as ``kaali sexy`` in whispers and in public her code name was ``kaali BMW``. (I hope people here know what the acronym BMW stands for).

A. Bismil Sahib,
i read the teaser and it was very reminiscent of a similar scene written by that one hit wonder Roy in God of blah.. (ms. one-hit-wonder also had some toothbrush action going on in the mirror-scene.. )

very very short story with ``messages`` - prolly would amount to a Bismil on many supposedly ``controversial`` subjects ..

cheers.

#24 by Urstruly

bmw are like headlights? ursy, its not that these boys dont have lascivious thoughts, about a dusky gal, the problem is the mother thinks that the progeny will be dark, which everyone knows to be an indicator of hindu-blood. the boy in our society is so dependent (financially and/or emotionally) that he may ``lick his chops`` but wont go against sound counsel from mom and the aunties.

UrsTruly:
talking of high-school. You remind me of one of my punjabi class-fellows who was the biggest male chauvinist i have ever come across - he was also very religously into Burrhuks (punjabi term for boasting).
You on the other hand, guess, has mistaken Burrhuk-ing as an artform.

Judging by the story and the interacts here, it appears that folks just don’t get married in Pakistan. The way the system is in Pakistan, the girls that are rejected, also reject other girls when they look for match for their own brothers. So, what goes around comes around. It is like job interview how many get an offer from the first Interview?
Successful people work in the system and not outside of it. Pakistani marriage institution still works because it is part of the system in the society. There are going to be some failures, there is going to be some obnoxious people to deal with but overall success ratio is 90%, and that is what matters. System works.

How many Pakistani girls are married so some Joe Gora in the US? I know one and she always had eyes for cute Pakistani guys. I think she would nail someone and show the Joe Gora out.

Urstruly,
It is just a story don`t get too excited!

HP,

There is NO way you can prove conclusively that the Pakistani marriage institute is overwhelmingly successful. That would entail exhaustive study-and you havent done it.

Raw Dust,

Why do some desi men get their chaddis in a twist over God of Small Things? Another class of my students loved it....

Saminashah:
you are getting ahead of yourself once again. talk to me when you feel better.

#29

This is my third and all of them successful:) What more stats do you need?




//Numbers above are slightly exaggerated!

Ok,...now how many Dark Sexy pricesses of the East get the oppurtunity to go and study abroad and come back to Desi land with a ``valaity`` degree tucked in their carry on baggage??? To me it was a very shallow peice of writing. The author needs to look deeper into the anguish and agony of the dark, short and not-so-sexy middle class girls who have to go thru all this once they reach their 20`s.

Well done!!! powerful !!
It is a miracle how girls survive through this horrible process of picking and choosing.

If one were to speculate on the further turn of events in this story(although it is magnanimous of Jhon to have been willing to enter into a wedlock and not insist on being a `partner` with no resposibilities) ,what were the chances of Fauzia and her dear Jhon cheating on each other,divorcing each other,putting there children through the trauma and raising them up as single parents or maybe even abondoning them?In short screwing their lives seriously.

While the western culture has its advantages,they come at a cost.Its is not all goody goody.It is flawed in itself.They dont always live happily everafter.

...``She practiced safe sex and masturbated herself into climax regularly........

Now this is the creme-de-la-creme of the story. This is the stuff which separates an ordinary piece of swamp-reporting from the salinityand water-logged bog where english Literature erupts. Where rushdicks bloom like cactii and where WolfeVaginas blossom like briars.

A lot of stuff is between the lines & before the periods. For example it is silent the kind of equipment she used for safe-sex.

Then, this word `regularly` makes the whole exercise so matter-of-fact, so clinical, so dreamlike--that it moves it one notch up into cloud 9 & a 1/2 . `regularly`--this word cascaded out of the authors` keyboard and started talking here. As if it was not regular then there was no nirvanaa. Never knew there were other areas in a female anatomy where it is healthy to be `regular`.

Fantasizing BS this is ; 100% homespun autobiographical.

Arranged: Prince Charles to Diana
Deranged: Prince Charles to Camilla; Diana to Dodi etc etc etc.

Most goraa marriages are deranged. There is a divine-darwinian plan to keep them from evolving.

So it is and so shall it be written



PS: If she had shown her ..``dark chocolate areolas and a black triangle of hidden mystery..`` I could have accepted her ; if & only if she was a BMW...

Thanks Urstruly for a long lost memory

Now I don’t wanna turn this into some cheap sex experience discussion but Echo you really liked that Safe Sex, Masturbation and climax part. I skipped over it because I thought it was indecent to even read such things…But you… XXX Maniac!

Yes! Completely! You really pay attention. I think you are XXX or why would you read such gandagi so meticulously?

What this world is coming down to.. Mullah posting about chocolate areolas and hidden mystery. Internet is bad influence you man!

HP:41
OK OK I`m smiling now!
Thanks!

``Dark chocolate areolas and a black triangle of hidden mystery.``

I dont see what is the big deal. There is nothing obscene about it. The dark chocolate areolas and the black triangle of hidden mystery are symbols of a woman`s creative powers, her reproductive powers; the fountainhead of humanity.

Why is it that any sane and mature discussion of sexuality is percieved as `` GANDAGI``.

The Gandagi lies in the mind of those readers, the so-called patriarchal misogynistic goons of CHOWK.

How dare a woman bring herself to climax through masturbation. Chee Chee, Respectable Pakistani women are not even supposed to have Clitorises. Allah just created the clitoris by some quirk.

How dare a woman own up to the power of her reproductive organs, and dare say in public what men have always done. Ok maybe not Safe sex, but lots and lots of Masturbation.

Re: # 44
I think you have been downloading way too much Porn off the internet.

``Fauzia stood in front a full length mirror, staring at her naked body. Her skin was a smooth mocha colored canvas of beauty on which were painted the dark chocolate areolas and a black triangle of hidden mystery.``

Ahem... I slid my chair all the way under my table in anticipation of a XXX story, but afsoos....

Vaisay, I don`t think desi women have anything but ``dark chocolate areolas`` and ``black triangle of hidden mystery``........ Even with gori blondes, the triangle is black most of the time. Viva La Clairol!!

(long post)

bismil:

you should submit more often!

since some have taken up fozia`s support here...and other`s act as her detractors...i`d sit on the sideline...what with my fellow curmudgeon hamidm also stirring the pot:)

miriam:

(just for making me blush)

... i`d mention a disgusting incident...happened with me...sometime in the last century...(just protecting the ladies involved)...

my brother wanted to get married to a karachi gal...what with al-nikah min al sunnati... ..i think it means marriage is preferable to living in sin...or someting pretty close...arabic is a foreign language...experts tell me the living in sin applies only to marriage-able and i suppose willing-to ladies only...ok will cut out the legalese...they tell me this al-nikah min al sunnati... does not apply to slaves and concubines...this reminds me of a poem on ghungroo and mangal sut`r i did recently but for brevity`s sake i`d keep it out of here...where was i?

...yes my brother wanted a companion to do that legally...and we were here...(T.O.)...and all the eligible ladies we knew were of a more local disposition...meanig desi here...and he wanted the desi from there...now i do not do these favours for everybody...but as i have told you he was my brother...(still is..somethings cannot be changed)... i said i will sacrifice my holidays and we will visit karachi...in preparation for that visit i informed all my friends and relatives there of the holy nature and intent of our sojourn...all three of them...

...so now we arrive jetlagged and the same evening we went to this place for tea...the directions were very precise...turn right at the second chowrangi...turn left on the third road on the left...the one with the chassiss of a burned out car...there is a panwala on the next corner...ask him for hamidm sahib`s house....(ok this is better than making up a name..and brother hamid would not mind at all)...

...so we arrive at this place and are let in the drawing room..after noons can be .....er....stifling there...what with heat and humidity and dust...khair...in the living room we are seated....an old dadi amman comes in and says something...she is short...all the grannys i know are short...and bent...and is wearing white...oily hair....thick glasses....really thick lenses....and dirty on top...did i mention she had two teeth...left...i mean teeth left...maybe that is both of us felt the need for sub-titles....but this wasn`t a movie...i smiled...picking up a clue my stoic bro smiled...she smiled...

...then another old lady emerged...she was less bent but still in white and had oily hair...her words were a little more decipherable...she was the granny...that made the first one great granny...even though we were briefed a little the girl with tea tray was expected but had not materialised yet...there were some pictures of still older people in sepia toned photographs in frames that can be described as just this side of being labelled antique...the younger of the two old ladies tried to ascertain if my brother could talk...they had already seen his smile...everytime she would ask him something my brother would look at me... i felt like the third guy in the chair between nixon and mao...or between king fah`d and just about anyone...

...i know you want to know what happened...if my brother liked the lady...if she liked him...did they live happily every after...but patience...all in due course...so here we are...my brother is looking at me...in time the granny started examining my hands very closely...she watched my hands ( i thought) very carefully trying to see if i translated her queries in sign language for him to reply to her...at some point she spoke with sufficient clarity and my brother not only understood her question...god bless him... he also replied instantly...satisfied that my brother could listen and talk...she eased up and smiled some more...

...there were some more rustlings and we could hear some giggling...another lady enters the room...this is the mother...we had to nudge each other from falling asleep...6pm in karachi was like 4am here...there was a remarkable similiarity between the ladies...if my brother married their daughter we could see in 20 year intervals what she would look like...seeing we were sleepy the mother asked us if we wanted tea...did we!...tea came...

(ok have to rush out...so maybe another day?)

``She was asked out on many dates and went on many dates. She practiced safe sex and masturbated herself into climax regularly. She got a degree and a good job.``

More power to Fauzia but you don`t need to go to vilayat for that these days.

Raw Dust,

I`m quite fine, thanks. But Ammu, the protagonist was punished for daring to exercise her sexual agency. Roy created a more complex woman character that literally dwarfed her entitled and oily brother Chacko....as far as I`m concerned, Roy could die happy knowing her first novel is a tour de force.

Echoboom Sahib,

For once I am in agreement with you. I am waiting for a heroine far more exciting than one that has the courage to practice self determination....I am looking for my muse-the desi woman who captures, interrogates, tortures and beats to death frothing fundos....that I think, would excite all of us literary types to no end...much better than mere sexual agency, dont you think?

ShoreSahib
# 43

Such enlightened ideas. Please keep them coming. They are an antidote to…well whatever it is that’s transpiring here.

How predictable and sad that a woman (in this case Fauzia) claims her identity (thereby her sexuality) and on cue enter modesty proselytizing mullahs and their smitten acolytes. But what I really find preposterous is that their argument is being peddled as anything less than a clarion call for patriarchy (as if it was in any danger of crumbling in the first place).

Shorejee, what to do…we are a repressed culture, which insists on categorizing a woman as either a virgin, or whore. And the rest of us who don’t conform to one of the two prescribed labels are to be relegated to the hinterland where we won’t cause too much of a ruckus!

:)…..I await with bated breath for “just for making me blush part deux”. After all, it’s
the chai scene. Does the girl come in, her heart aflutter in anticipation, trying to
precariously balance a chai ki tray? Does she then drop the chai ka cup on one
of the two of you? One can only hope ;).

Bismil,
you writing up to rejection is good except embarking on free and safe sex.
I am looking forward the day , when girls would be bold enough to simply reject the other party.Most of the girls have adopted the wrong way.First they get married and then after 2,3 months they leave the guy on the pretext of his simple.And some of them take revenge
by returning the ring next day.I think it`s the better option.son and his mother would be cautious next time.
