You know you're from Lahore when.....

You know you're from Lahore when.....


- The first 15 channels on your cable are dedicated to stage show mujras

- You buy anything and everything from Al-Fatah

- Your uncivilized next door neighbour just bought a BMW because he deals in property

- A really souped up Civic stops next to you and instead of a groovy exhaust sound, the woofers blare out an Abrar number

- At least one of your friends is a Butt

- All directions start with, "Go down to Main Boulevard"

- You think it's okay to wait 5 hours in the queue for Bashir's Fish in Mozang because he only opens 6 months in the year

- Its quite all right to run a red light if the traffic policeman doesn't have a bike to chase you

- When someone asks you ''Bhai yeh Fortress kahaan hai?'', you spread an evil grin on your face and send him to Johar Town

- If you are hungry at 3 in the morning, you go to Coffee Tea & Co in your pyjamas instead of walking to your kitchen

- Your cousins from Karachi ask you about Food Street and you say, "I went there back in 2003"

- Your winning argument about how Lahore is better than Karachi is 'Lahore Lahore aey'

- Your childhood dream of attaining higher education was to go to Aitchison or Kinnaird

- You always thank the rude shop owner because he actually let you buy something from his shop

- You go to the Daewoo stand more than the airport
