I must say no matter what happens we are a tough nation. Finding our own way through the thick and thin of all times. Even finding humor in the saddest of all situations.
On festive events such as Eid, across Pakistan you will come across punch lines as “Dhamaka Sale Jaari Hay” so often. “Khudkush Sale” (Suicidal Sale) is the new term coined in market.
The shopkeeper was right in thinking that the word “khudkush” will attract everyone. I do hope it doesn’t attract Mr. Khudkhush himself but the genuine buyers only.

Oh Lighten up you naysayers! The guy is just living up with the sign of the times! Here are my suggestions for future signs for such sales;
LOOT LOOT SALE = Zardari Sale
DHAMAKA KHEZ OFFER = Al Qaeda Sale

See how innovative we Pakistanis are!
