na bhindi hai na tinda hai
jaan buhat sharminda hai
What is it?
The photo here shows a tractor-trolley full of a seasonal crop brought to Lahore for sale. From the post title I’ve already given you two hints that it is neither bhindi (okra) nor tinda (English word for ‘tinda’ is unknown to me). So what else could it be? Answer to this quiz has been revealed in comments section below under my name.

Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors
To me it looks like….
….a goblet called Vegetablium Pakistanium engolfium totalius
sine profylactii truckii im uno swallium……!
This is certainly not gobi, its one of those exotic fruits that is new to Pakistan. I think.
Some comments from the ATP Facebook page:
– “Gobi-Cauliflower”
– “bannanas… probably not.”
– “its gobi….:)”
– “its alovera????????”
– “its BANANAS”
– “qualiflower or aloevera”
– “its cauliflower’s back side….”
– “yupzzz…..i also thnk dat itssss cauliflower.”
– “HAHAHHAAA!!!!!!IT’S………….”
it is Gobhi (cauliflower)
Well whatever it is, the way they have loaded it on a truck is itself a sight to behold.
Another great ATP find. Another reason to vote for ATP (click on the fifth star) in the Pakistan Blog Awards and please leave message about Adil Najam and Owais Mughal as best bloggers:
