Owais Mughal

Photo Credits of the following masterpiece belong to Fayyaz Ahmed. As we had mentioned in an earlier post that back of a Pakistani Rickshaw is usually a running commentary on Pakistani Society. In this photo I want to point out few details. One is the broken pair of back lights. Other is a pair of feminine eyes looking out of window blinds. Also Note Geo channel ’s monogram being used as decoration. For our English readership, the text in Urdu means “Don’t be scared. This is my style”

    Rickshaws look cute in some ways but are really noisy, they do depict an image of the developing world. Some dau insha’Allah all rickshaws should be replaced by toyota taxis

    ALIVEPAKISTAN.COM,

    How did you survive with Rickshaw’s noise,
    which is a serious violation of Human Rights.,
    a nuisance in any “alive society”.

    Today, I spotted a bus in Karachi. What is says on the back depicts the impact of recently imposed state of emergency on the foreign direct investment.

    It said:

    ‘Aisa Karogay, to Koon Aiga’

    Translation: If you do such things, who’d come here?

    many ppl use GEO’s monogram and by this we can guess its popularity. Well the most funniest dialouge i have ever read on any rickshaw is “Main Bara Ho K Mercedes Banoon Ga” isn’t it funny;) ??

    Owais Mughal,

    Very funny subject, the most lawless vehicule in
    Pakistan is Rikshaw, on its wonderful sound I have
    Filbadih :

    Samjhay thay keh Dunya mein Gumnaam Rahey ham

    Rakshay mein jo baithay to woh naam kamaya !
