C’est la Vie…!
Don’t we see such scenes everyday … here or there … now and then?? Saddened for a moment … but I’ve firm belief that these hardships would make them a better person with strong belief on themselves :-)
Apart from philosophiyaan, well-fitted they are and isn’t this bike a bit elongated??

Its looking elongated because of the last kid and his seat.
i remmember once in college life, we were trippeling on a Vespa huh and were caught up by police right infront of FC college when we were trying to get outside. So after some debate policemen said, we’ll let you know but the only thing we wanted to know is “How you do that”. his words were, in my life i haven’t seen 3 people riding Vespa :-D ;
khair these looks like two families - and you rightly said about self-reliance.
i feel sad when people are tilting their bikes sideways just to consume that last drop of petrol in their tank… its really getting hard for a salaried person to make ends meet these days..
What about “chingjis”?.I’m sure the inventer of motorbike must be turning in his grave seeing his invention utilised to the fullest potential.
Chingchi has got more power than a motorcycle and passenger setting in a chingchi is a skill only a few master :)
Suddenly, I’m sad. Allah asaaniyan karay sub pay. Ameen.
It’s not sad, it’s a crime. It’s a crime that people are allowed to endanger their lives (and the lives of their loved ones) in this manner.
Yes, I know a motorbike may the only thing the family can afford, but that doesn’t make it any safer. One mistake can cost so many lives it doesn’t make sense to risk such things.
The fact that the police look the other way is also a crime. The state should not and must not lets citizens risk their lives like this.
Police have to enforce the law or Government have to furnish them with facilities? Its a whole debate. A whole pandora box to be open. But in the end, its poverty. I hope you understand! People indulge into crimes because of it.
Root cause is social injustice. V would agree with me :) . Any local Mao Tse-tung out there?
Agreed!
Social injustice flourishes when flour is not there to eat.
I was talking to my cousin yesterday, he was asking if like in Canada, would STOP SIGNS would work in Pakistan?
I said, its social injustice. If 95% of the people are agreed to follow a rule and at the same time 5% are not, then those 95% would also get dishearted and tend to break the rules…
I think commitment is required. No matter if others are not stopping at a RED LIGHT, at least “I” should. Change begins within!
charity begins at home ;)
.. very true Pretty Simple!
@PS/OPEE: I completely agree! Everyone should play his/her part.
But in a country ruled by ‘waderas’, I doubt we’d see things getting better without a revolution.
V a song for you on this… (lol don’t stare me, I feel like singing today)..
Its not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy
Youre still young, thats your fault,
Theres so much you have to know.
I was once like you’re now..
and I know that its not easy..
to be calm… when you found something’s going wrong.
Take your time, think a lot,
Think of everything’s you’ve got
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.

And can someone explain why my brand new Mehran does not have even a single seat belt??
Hasan: you need to upgrade it to Mehran 3.1, which will autmatically install seatbelt at the non-driver’s seat, plus will give u 2 extra decibles for stereo system (which is currently not installed).
To install the stereo, you would need to upgrade to Mehran 3.7 (beta), which will also remove seatbelt from non-driver’s seat but add one at the driver’s seat, minus the hook.
For ease of use you may look into the latest release, Mehran 4.0, which actualy comes with air bags and 2 seatbelts….. the entire package only costs $49.99… plus taxes, plus warranties, plus annual maintenence, plus courier charges, plus additional surcharge (levied by govt of pakistan), plus premium for immediate installation (otherwise waiting time may be around 6-8 months).
:|
May be because it doesn’t run fast enough >;) *evil-grin*
Faraz are you talking about Mehran or Jaguar :D
..Well package cost explains its mehran arright! :) *wink*
tussi saanu paindu samjha hoya aye… :) jaguar tay cheetay da naam hunda aye… assi guddi di gal karday pai aan…
Opee & Hasan: If you apply in august, you can avail a special independence day discount… you will not only save $5, but also get free home delivery of the seatbelt through TCS….
Apply Now…. Phir na kehna khabar na hui… Dorro zamana qayamat ki chaal chal gaya… ajj hi waikho… waghaira waghaira
lolzzz.
butt seriously, why mehrans dont have seat belts? I think the seatblet sellers at Bilal Gunj asked the Suzuki wallahs to do this favor :) ..cuptaaaannnnn go and get one fixed from Bilal Gunj.
Naee ji.. tusi jaguar (cheetay) lagay ho!!!
People… people… people! Forget the seat belt! Hasan just got a brand new car and he hasn’t even offered us a treat! :’(
*V-with-a-very-VERY-sad-face*
@Faraz: kya Mehran 4.0 jenyun hai?
@Opee: That song is one of my all time fav - I like the R.Keating-Y.Islam duet more.
Oh yea :D..
i mean Yea :’( ..
*Opee-singing-Raag-Malhar-with-an-innocent-and-even-a-sadder-face*: Where’s the party tonight!?
@V: Aap be-fikar ho kai lay jayen… boos.. Jenyun hai .. :)
and yes… Hasan: where’s the treat!!!!!! how come no treat!!!!!! long time no treat!!!!! we want treat, we want treat!!!!
(even treat platinum would do)
I can fly from Toronto to Lahore to have it. See my deperation Hassan! :)
@Faraz: Lol, Man you’re jen-yunly three much. The word “Too” ain’t enough for you. :D
@faraz: Treat Plantinum?…cha cha cha chaaaaaaaaaaainnnnnnnnn :D
@OP: all flights to lhr are cancelled :D..i dont know why.
@HM: Moqa acha hay, …dont retreat from treat now :)
@V: Yup, I love this song. First ever I heard from Boyzone back in 1999 (I guess). But then I heard Maulana Cat Steven’s version (which was original). Then the recent Keating-Yousaf duet (in 1994). All are awesome… and how true!
@Pretty Simple: Ahh shucks!
But I will be ok with a virtual treat too. How about take pics or make video from any member’s cell phone and upload them on youtube. I would love to be part of the treat this way!
@Faraz: boos, yeh meri V-Wagon mein fit ho jaye ga na?
I’ll opt for the Virtual Treat as well! (unless Hasan agrees to DHL it to us!) :)
@V: tussi ten-shun bilkul na lawo…. saada tay roz da kum aye. aye fit nai howay ga tay assi tuhadi wagon noo’n fit kar dena aye
@OP: bro: agar hawai jahaz nahin milta to behri jahaz main sawar ho jawo… how can u miss the treat of the century :)
Behri Jahaz Flights are not arriving on Lahore Canal these days. They are abondoned because of Bhal Safayi. :)
@Faraz: theek ai ustaad jee. kujh saday-astay diskont tai karo na, 49.99 daalaar tai meray kul halay nayee, tuwaday kol udhaar chalda ai?
Has anyone noticed how Hasan has suddenly vanished as soon as we mentioned the word ‘treat’? :/
i noticed. He did the same ….he is master in it :D
Yeah i noticed… but Hasan ko kabhi na kabhi to waapis aana hi paray ga :)…. treat to hum lai kar hi jaeen gain… chahay woh virtual ho, artificial ho, superficial ho… aur agar real ho to kiyah hi baat hai… hain ji!!!
We need to find a way to make him NOT go under hiding in future… loki navee navee gaddiyan lai leinday nai tai fair treatan shreatan khilan da vi koi irada nayee rakhdai… kinni afsos di gul ai! :/
Hassan ab aye zara Vote lainay .. lol

Waisay, Hum kitni khush-fehum qoum hain!
O Bhai, I writing on behalf of a friend that I was talking to at that moment. ;P
Hassssssan is BACK with a big BANK :D (logo toot paro)
… Bhagnay na paye ..
Saathio, Mujahido.
Waisay, the Toyota that I am driving these days has its origins in Thailand, and though, the Thai were generous enough in giving seat-belts on the back seats as well, serious checks were missed to ensure their working.
Hunn dasso, Bunda sahi karwan Thailand jave! :|
And can someone explain why my brand new Mehran does not have even a single seat belt??
jee jee! :/
And can someone explain why my brand new Mehran does not have even a single seat belt??

*Opee-doing-Loongi-Main-Twist-For-Treat*
@V: It’s ditto what my friend told me on the phone :P
Thailand nu chhado, aiday-ich vee Mehran 4.0 lua-lo!
@Hasan:
treat to daini hee paray gi janaab!
Your bill would be reimbursed from state kitty later provided the Committee (consisting of Opee, PS, Faraz and V) finds your arguments valid!
PS secretly asking “Mehran 4.0 de kaap-yaan Hafeez Center tu mil jaasee?” :|
haan, Hafeez Center mein mil to jaati hain magar ab kon itni duur Gawal Mandi jaye, rastay mein Motorway par bhi itna rush hota hai!
PS stating…Hasan is guilty. *party scene on hai*
