But it's pushing our luck if we walk around in a mini-skirt at 11 in the night in a kaali galli (which most of India's cities have all over), JUST because we think we are modern. And also adopting fashion ONLY because it's the current trend is bull because most people look like fools in ramp clothes which are NOT suited for the streets. <br /><br />The kind of clothes you come up with in your posts are trendy, chic and very current yet have a desi tinge and are not provocative, vulgar or ill-suited. That's what I'm talking about, that's how western clothing should be adopted.CookieCrumbsInc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06913746088715446566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266767622811094764.post-77342919265008163332011-08-22T21:38:31.834+05:302011-08-22T21:38:31.834+05:30@ Humanoid, thanks:)

I agree with a few points.. not all.<br />There are people who do their bit(and a very large bit that too) for the country.. and just bcoz others don't do it doesn't mean they shouldn't get their fair share of recognition. And wearing short skirts or opting for western clothing is not really connected with Independence Day na? I mean its more of a personal choice… doesn't mean that we are forsaking traditions… <br /><br />Most Indians do have a 'i dont give a damn attitude' towards situations that don't concern them or affect them directly... which is the main cause for our current (pathetic) state. <br /><br />Over-all, thought provoking post! :)Chandanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17306046117454371506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266767622811094764.post-46673239607087009682011-08-17T14:45:13.821+05:302011-08-17T14:45:13.821+05:30yess totally second that .. thats why i had reques...yess totally second that .. thats why i had request the terrorists to not kill innocent people but the criminals who are leading us :) <br /><br /><a href="http://mannbikram.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">Bikram's</a>Bikramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17320753339263375295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266767622811094764.post-86632461928932005102011-08-17T13:53:30.681+05:302011-08-17T13:53:30.681+05:30welcome :)welcome :)Misterio Vidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04396947981573285341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266767622811094764.post-60066610198187379232011-08-16T23:34:18.903+05:302011-08-16T23:34:18.903+05:30@ KN., we do nothing.

For the bureaucrats, even the mention of terrorism immediately is followed by Pakistan and it is the most unfair-est thought-process of them all and most incorrect as well not to mention shameful to be so quick to judge a nation, that too one as close as Pakistan. I'm so glad that I have discovered tons of Pakistani bloggers and I was surprised to see that you guys are no different from us in a lot of ways that matter. After all we were ONE for centuries. Why don't people mean it when they say bhai-behen, I don't get. <br /><br />Please tell me what you don't agree with, maybe I was wrong, but more importantly I want to know:)<br /><br />Shukriya Khatoon (erm, is that right?

Exactly my point, we go ga-ga over Independence Day and the rest of the time is spent to pursuing our own selfish interests. Doesn't work that way, does it.<br /><br />@ Red Handed, thanks. Neither have I actually. But it's more because I don't believe in the yearly once worship.<br /><br />@ ♥ Solitaire ♥, :) yes. True.<br /> <br />@ Psych Babbler™, the happy-go-lucky, scatter-brained, idealistic me has been forced to don a cynical hat by circumstances. I don't know whether that's a good thing or bad -_-<br /> <br />@ Blasphemous Aesthete, maybe we have gotten too comfy with the slaps rather than do something about all the slapping about? Thanks:)<br /><br />@ Rachana, good point. But I haven't like doing even that after seeing the campaigning the parties do and the promises they make.

This is all the same i was talking about to my dad yesternight. I mean all the Lahore city was crowded with guys and GUYS screaming Pakistan and waving the flag all the way where i thought WHAT THEY POSSIBLY HAVE DONE FOR THEIR COUNTRY TILL NOW?<br /><br />Fake love Pakistan for one day just cause its CHUDA AUGUST?! No. This is not something i would do. I love my country and i will roam on the roads screaming my country's name once i would do something productive for it.<br /><br />Just like India, we have been hampered in the economic progress too. To the almost same level. We call Indian our bhai-behens and when the time comes to actually show the trust, we both country start blaming each other. I believe i love blogging for this reason cause it lacks all the unnecessary politics that segregate us. <br /><br />First stop throwing litter on the roads and then show the world you care about your country. Exactly. <br /><br />Loved the post with maybe some contradictions. But still. Wish i could have wrote one. <br /><br />Jashn'e Mubarak Hindustan! :))Komal https://www.blogger.com/profile/12198331954368658295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266767622811094764.post-86604759276333694512011-08-15T16:16:01.070+05:302011-08-15T16:16:01.070+05:30Interesting post...I can see your passion and cyni...Interesting post...I can see your passion and cynicism come through...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266767622811094764.post-83951049440001028772011-08-15T14:52:27.346+05:302011-08-15T14:52:27.346+05:30i have almost the same views..:(
