Have you ever felt that you needed a guide when you were struggling in your relationship? When I look back at my own relationship, I think, "If only I had a mentor to guide me, I would be in a much better position." For example, miscommunication abounds in relationships, especially when we text on mobile devices. There's no way to tell if the other person understood our message correctly - there are no body language signals to clarify meaning. Whenever I wanted to communicate something important, it was marred by miscommunication, which only increased the chaos. For this reason, and countless others, I created this chatbot. (Well, I didn't build it from scratch; Chatbase.co created this Love Guru chatbot, but I trained it and am presenting it to you.) This Love Guru listens to your relationship problems sympathetically and answers your concerns in a friendly, supportive manner. Breakup? This mentor will guide you on how to cope. Trying to patch things up? This g...
Pakistanis are amazing people. When they realize their full potential, they go nuclear on their own. Make fighter jets. Win sports world cups. However, they have a fair share of useless and gross habits. Pakistan would be better off without these:
1. Spitting in every nook and corner
One of the grossest things you would experience in Pakistan is the patches of saliva almost everywhere. The habit isn’t limited to the uneducated folks, even the well-off and educated people indulge in this gross habit. Some spit the Naswar balls, others the ground Chhalya, and the rest, the Pan. Besides having these sweet ‘confectionaries’, people feel compelled to prove their masculinity by hurling the spittle in the most distant trajectories. Believe me, no girl has ever got impressed with this ‘show’ of masculinity.
2. ‘Safai Muhim’ of their noses
You would find some people so engrossed (almost ecstatic) in cleaning their noses and making small balls of boogers that they don’t realize what is happening to the person sitting next to them in a bus, metro, or other public transport. You can’t get over the lingering effect of this Safai Muhim for days, especially when the person also offers a handshake afterward.
3. Sweet Confectionery
You can’t help praising the translator who told you that the betel nuts, chewing tobacco, and Pan (Betel) are in fact “Sweet Confectioneries”. Pathan have chewing tobacco (Naswar). Punjabis have their Pans, while Karachiites blame it to Chhalya, Gutka, Supari, and other “confectioneries”. You find the small green balls of naswar in public washrooms, pan spittle on walls, and minced beetle nuts anywhere.
4. Nit Picking
Taking nit-picking to the next level, some Desi women take it to the next step in socializing when elderly women pick lice and nits from younger women’s hair, literally. Besides, being gross it somehow proves Darwin’s Theory of Evolution. Hint: Watch Nat Geo Chimpanzee Documentaries.
5. Time-Wasting at Weddings
While Americans and Europeans are churning out books on time management and utilizing every second with different apps, tools, and software, Pakistanis don’t even give a damn. When one doesn’t have a plan to start the Walima at 8 PM, then why write it on the invitation cards in the first place? The unfortunate guests who somehow come early despite knowing our national habit, keep cursing the host (Dulha) who is sitting in the salon getting his nose hair trimmed.
