Re: # 4

Actually, their lives are very very full of things that they must discuss, assign hollow meanings to, live with, and enjoy. The boxes they live in are enourmous but upon insight you`ll find them squishy and dark.

But no one ought to blame them --instead, our great patriarchal societies are to be blamed for encouraging the women to `cash in` on their looks while the men do the real jobs in the society [Eventhough women have established much higher economic and social life level today, they STILL are in controle --an example of doublestandard]

Power is not so easy to give in honey!

Re: # 10
thanks a bunch mansoor!but to be honest,to ecah his own if people like indulging in fashion and spending money and energy on it and it makes em happy, then why not...right?but many tend to take it a little too seriously and one cant help but make them a subject of a satire!

Espresso doesn`t do avocado cheese melts. At least, not the one on Zamzama. And definitely not for brunch.

Our Nation and specially Karachi is divided into `classes` - theres this burger class who is not `KHANDANI` wants to resides in places like Defence and Clifton and wants to impliment Western Culture in our land - may Allah give us strenght to wipe out such people from our society -

This conversation seems to be inspired from Adam khan`s `Socialist Yuppies` but it is somehow boring and uninsteresting.......
