Our repost of our ATP Mushaira post on Anwar Masood prompted reader Shahran Asim to send us this newer audio recording of Anwar Masood commenting on elections in Pakistan. I thought it was not only hilarious but also pertinent; and certainly worth sharing. Thanks, Shahran.
My favorites here is how he starts just with “theek hai!” and the following (especially his use of “burpa” here):
Taraqee iss qadr burpa hoee hai
kissi soorat koi ghatta nahiN hai
bass itni si paraishani hai Anwar
election sarr pe hai atta nahiN hai
Take a listen. Enjoy.
Hahaha brilliant! This encapsulates a very special kind of “pakistaniat” that I’ve missed and helps sweeten the cynicism.
Such a pleasant surprise to listen to this. Great that we have the capacity to laugh at ourselves. If only the commenters at ATP could also learn to take themselves a little less seriously :-)
@ Lutf agaya saheb, kia bat hay
nice and great .. quite worthy to be shared..
This is really very funny. Specially the one about Roshan Khiyali.
