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

Some commenters are just reflecting their own frustrations and gandi zehnayet on the poor qulfi walla. Appreciate the poor guy’s effort, if nothing else.
Agar dhang ki baat nahin kar saktay, tou khamoosh raho, bhai.
But she seem to like only hot live kulfi as in the west they l;ike cold tea.
Qulfi will not be a good idea if she is a lactose intolerant. Cruel

Sometimes a qulfi is just a qulfi.
Here is another take: In the “ancient” days, a young man would give a bottle of “Evening in Paris” to his girlfriend. (This was a popular perfume those days.) In the “medieval” period, chocolates became a fashionable gift for her. In the “modern” period, I guess, it is Qulfi, smeared with the holy names, that does the trick.
