Adil Najam
Saw this picture in Daily Times and actually laughed out loud. How much more Pakistani could a bakra be, than riding on a rickshaw with its head sticking out.
Not sure what the title of the picture should be. Maybe you can help.
Since this is ‘Bakra Eid’ and we have already launched our Eid coverage with a bakra post, we will be having a Bakra Of The Day for every day between now and Eid.
Speaking of which, even on this Eid they cannot seem to get the day straight. Here in Boston we have one set of mosques celebrating it on the 30th (following Saudi Arabi), another celebrating it on the 31st (following calculated moon-birth), and in Pakistan I am told most will celebrate on the 1st but some of the 31st. And its the poor bakra who is accused of senseless ba ba ba!
DEKHO MUJHEY JO DEEDA AYE IBRAT NIGAH HO
MERI SUNOW JO GOSHEY HAQIQAT NIYOSH HAY - Ghalib.
First a nice meal; now a tour of the city; can it get any better !
1. “Ching chee’ would have been more humiliating
2. My new owner is good; I will walk the dusty roads no more
The Last Bray of the Bakra.
(With apologies to Walter Scott—- The LAY OF THE LAST MINISTREL)
Bakra is in pain and it reminds me a misra
Dekho mujhe dedae-Ibrat Nigharoun sey
Pls correct me if this misra is wrong, I tried to google but didn’t find a single instance of this misra.

Bakrey Ki Maan Kab Tak Khair Manaey Gi
