5 Things you don’t know about Pakistanis…
5 things you don’t know about Pakistani People…
1. PAKISTANI PASSION :
I love the intensity with which Pakistani people love their country, food, life, sports, and music. A bustling nation full of life and expression. There are no inhibitions here! Not a shy nation.
2. PAKISTANI HOSPITALITY:
Pakistanis’ make you feel just like one of their family. They open their hearts to you. I love the open Hearts ( khoola dill) and brave hearts (zinda dill) of Pakistani. Everything that has gone on, there is still this feeling of openness.
3. TALENT/INTELLIGENCE
Pakistanis’ are really smart. They know the ground realities regarding politics, politicians, economics and world politic. There are just a lot of smart articulate people here. And, they will tell it like it is.
4. PAKISTAN- FUN LOVING NATURE
I found the average Pakistani to be free, fun loving, positive and upbeat. I love the spirit of celebration from Basant to Marriages to Palistan cricket team winning celebrations. This is a nation that likes a good party.
5. CARING
I love how everyone here is called Auntie or Uncle. There is a cultural respect of elders that is really refreshing. People commonly refer to each other as sister and brother, older people have titles, parents are not called by there first names. That is not even mentioning the major charities like EDHi which helps the country provide ambulance services and emergency relief through out the whole country. A really honest respected charity.
People don’t know all of the good qualities about Pakistanis. The fun loving, the smart, the charitable, the caring part. I was reminded when I was in Pakistan this time people are getting the wrong idea about Pakistan. So, I should at least talk about my experiences in Pakistan. How I was treated, how easily I traveled throughout the country and how nice everyone was to me.

heather schmid , only a person , who has no malice in her/his heart for anyone but bad people , can write this , our beloved country has been portrayed badly too much for no reason , yes there are some pockets of concern but , we are thankful to you that you have shown the ACTUAL PICTURE . LONG LIVE PAKISTAN , and thank you again , respected lady .
You have summarized few of the major traits of Pakistanis in a very nice manner 🙂 ! thanks alot for appreciating the little good in us 🙂 what you missed about us that Most of the Pakistanis are truly enthusiastic about the country and would love to go out of the way to help the nation or our neighboring countries 🙂 !!!

Thank you for the right and nicest comments about our country. One thing I must share here is that Pakistan is not the country which is being protrated in the news. Pakistanis the the worlds most hospitable nation and we love every one, yeah we have alot of problems like we don’t have honest leadership but as a nation we are awesome. Thank you

Thank Asia for your love and views about Pakistan . All Pakistani love you and welcome you again and again. Pakistan is your susral ( home of your in laws ) and we have tradition here that Susral welcome their Baaho (daughter in law ) . You really study the nature of Pakistani so well. Thank you for removing misconception that western media created about Pakistan.
Thank UUUU !!! We could be so much better if left alone in the circus of world politics, like we used to be before 9/11 . Love u for ur open heart too .

masha ALLAH sister 🙂 …

and we love the people who love our country and people of Pakistan
So nice of you Heather, for expressing positive feeling for this nation. Unfortunately, since its independence this nation remained in the throws of super Power rivalry. They have rich traditions and history. They never create problems, rather love peace, harmony. But since the days of Alexander the Great they were never left alone. In recent history from Tsar period Russia wanted to enter India from regions now form Pakistan. Last effort was made by Soviet Union and spilled blood, introduced drugs and weapons in this region and now US and NATO are trying their muscles and force us on war path. We pray Neo-cons do not push US government for adventure in Iran and beyond, otherwise once again our children are going to face chaotic period. If sensible and dispassionate people like Heather Schmid peep deeper in this country and try to analyze causes of crisis, they will realize, Pakistan never ever created a situation for anyone. Stay blessed Heather.
thnx alot for showing the real image of Pakistan.
we all love to see you again . there is still much more to explore 🙂
Bless you dear 🙂
