The picture, and the essence of the headline, is taken from a tweet from CIO Pakistan’s Rabia Gharib. Both are hilarious, and neither needs much explanation. But both deserve comment. Can you suggest a better headline? Do you have another picture of Pinglish or a story about ‘tailor masters’ to share?
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
They specialize in ‘blowing you off’
the answer my friend is blowing in the wind
The ‘ustad ji’ or ‘master ji’ idea for karegars and professional experts is actually a universal one and you see it in European trade guilds also.
“Blows”, “Blouse”
Mazzaa aa gaya!
Excellent. “Tailor Master” is itself such a wonderful term! I guess that is what “Ustad Jee” becomes :-)
