My Fascination With The Bottle

Akhtar Choudhary ?? And all these years I thought it was Shakina or Hakeena or something like that...never mind.

This is not worth a response

Khamkhwa ji, was this article published (by you?) somewhere else, too? Down to the Chinaman in the BMW, I do believe I have read it before.

Reminds me of Bangkok in the old days. And Japan too, but for different reasons.

In Bangkok, peddlers would walk from car to car stuck in the traffic jams, selling their bottles.

And in Japan, well, it was simply pee-away. Out the window too.

(And can you imagine the furore if I had written that I went to Pakistan and saw people doing it on the roadside &c &c)

bus thats the only reason I think men are superior to women...
They can go in a bottle so very easily....
we on the other hand probably need a pateela.....

I have two in my car. ulmonium and faberware kaa..
burray wuqt ka kia pata..

I thought this was about wild drunken nights involving all kinds of sex and debauchery when I read the title. Needless to say I was sorely dissapointed :(

Re: # 3

hehehehe... not a bad idea...and go on to live 99 years too...;)

Khamkhwa,

I suggest you have an empty bottle of Mello Yello in the car. You never know when you might get too thirsty!

(I wish I was in Pakistan at that moment where I could stop the car right on the pavement of the highway and relieve my self to my bowel’s content and the cops would have understood my situation)

I am reminded of a joke here. An expat who landed at Karachi was being driven to the home by friend. He had a strong urge to pee.

He asked his friend to stop the car to relieve himself at the roadside.

As he was was getting out, he asked his friend ``Does anyone catch here?` (Athey koi pakarda ta naeen?)

His friend answered, ``No. Here you have to catch it yourself`` (Athey aap he pakarna painda aey)

Your “message in a bottle” was quite intriguing. Your uncanny ability to mesh South Asian poetry verses, mythical folklore along with religious symbolism is epic. Congrats…
