A Lesser Mortal: Rebirth

for what it's worth

party in the park

im still reeling from shock of what i saw today... and am trying to come to conclusion about it, and perhaps even assess my own reaction to it. i was driving my mom and sister out of liberty market (which is like perhaps one of the poshest shopping areas in lahore), where the traffic is usually choked... and today being saturday night, it was more so. so there is thys santro (for the sake of convenience lets call them car A) in front of me, and a subaru (and car B) infront of that... im chattin with me mom... and i hear a screech... i look ahead, and all of a sudden, all FOUR doors of the car A open, four women run out to car B ... and then i see them bashing the driver's face and pulling his/her hair... (i couldnt see clearing who was sitting in that car)... that driver raced their car, and i thought they'd run off, while these women CHASED car b quite a distance... then they ran back to their car and drove off -- or so i thought... just a few meters away, car A had caught up with car B and chk thys out: thys tym they are stood side by side, the doors of car A open again, and thys girl from car A jumps OVER her car, gets up on the front of car B, kicks the windscreen a couple of tyms, gets down and woah... then all the women from car A drag the women of car B out... and live wrestling ensues... in the middle of the road. within split seconds, a horde of men had gathered to watch the show... and they only dispersed when police came. we the whole tym were stuck as the tamasha was happenin right in front of my car... yeah we had the best seats in the house, except the gate crashers collected in front of us and from there on the show was lost. i was shocked -- to say the least. ive never actually seen that happen before... usually desi women are rather tame... car hopping, fist fighting type are... well... ive never seen one before. my mom was of the opinion the women in car A were sluts. not only because they were dressed and made up like them, but because of how they were acting. we all actaually convinced of that... but what was most painful was the fact that the driver of car B was a girl too, and when these women pulled her out, they ripped off her shirt. from teh front and the back. (which explains the swarming men). my mom said girls from "respectable" families dont behave the way these women did. "no matter WHAT happens, you dont create a scene." which was somethyng i had heard just the other day as i was out with a friend... i opened the door for him, and he didnt wanna go thru it, but did so saying "why must you women create scenes in public?" hello? i just opened the door for u!!! when was that a crime? the point is... would i ever behave like that? hypothetical answers usually apply to hypothetical situations... maybe i wouldnt go as far as climbing anyone's car... but if i was really pissed off... id definitely crash my car into them -- or their car...which ever would cause more damage. except that hasnt happened yet, alhamdolillah, and for the most part, i can control my temper (which isnt saying i dont have one). ----------------------------- in other but really good news, i rediscovered whatchamacallit. eight years after i had it for the first and the only tym. it brought back memories of a friend from school. her mother didnt like me cuz i was good at math (back then) and i havent seen or heard from her in 6 years. i sniffed around and found her house last week, and heard from someone where she's been married off. i have a good mind of droppin in on her mom... if only to irritate her (and in the process be thrown out of her house). im just weighing if it would be worth it. ----------------------------- i found thys pic outside an audio store. nuff said. no?
