I find this photograph very interesting for at least 5 reasons. Can you say what you find interesting in this photo and then maybe we can compare notes?
Also of interest for qulfi/kulfi lovers at ATP: here and here.
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

Allah and Mohammad(saw) on the corners just reflect two things:
1-Secularism is not possible in Pakistan due to deep influence of religion in Pakistani society hence secularist dreams should look for some other habit.
2-Halal Dating
I like Homer Kahn’s list.
Love the red cricket cap too.
The meaning here could be rather vulgar, no?
From the picture, that woman could beat up this guy. her head is twice the size of his head … I guess that is why he needs a qulfi to ‘say’ what is on his mind… ha ha ha ha
1. A great example of kitsch art.
2. Manages to combine love, ice cream, and loving ice cream.
3. Reminder to Ben and Jerry’s that they were not the first to do the above (take that, Peace Pops!)
4. Great reminder that qulfi is with a qaaf not a kaaf.
5. References so many Pakistani cultural paradigms: religion (note corners); sharm (“qulfi bolay woh baat jo aap na bol sakein”- classic); and self-promotion (Mr. Asif Naeem, prop., has thoughtfully included his mobile number. For what? Home delivery?)
