Economics doesn't teach me what to think. It teaches me how to think.

Breaking News on TV last week said that the Financial Minister hopes that the inflation rate will not rise any further.
Yeah, dude, join the club.

I think I now know why Pakistan is facing this recession and why it's economy has never really been able to flourish as much as it could have. Here's my theory: it is all the fault of our film industry. Yes, I'm talking about you, Lollywood.
I feel it is beyond the ordinary, human ability of counting how many songs in how many movies feature often well-built hero-heroine couples dancing, singing, running, and playing in fields of wheat. Just as wheat is a food staple in the country, kicking about in wheat while singing to your Shabbo is an entertainment staple in our films. What I fail to understand is why do they always have to take this destructive joy to the crops? Why can't they just be like normal people and dance in a cleared space in their dining room or in the lawn?
Why must they crush our agriculture?

Pakistan is an agriculture-based, developing country. Now what do you expect will happen when all these idiots-in-love decide to trample all over our main provider of money? Of course there will be inflation! Geez, only the illiterate 'artists' in our film industry wouldn't know that.
Right now, what I really expect is Meera to be paying the extra 4 rupees on what used to be a 2 rupee roti. You're the fat-ass who danced over God knows how many acres of wheat. Pay up.

hahahah Aziza you're best...Lollywood needs to find poppy fields to film their romantic scenes on..that way, we not only make amazing movies but also get rid of the opium. SOLUTION.

Aziza, I think you and I should become President and Primeminister. Best combination everr

this is one of the best insights i have had for this month.. not to worry about a psychotic love ladden fan... i am just being overly appreciative!
glad to add this to my never ending list of random insights.. why didnt i think of this?
btw it is highly advisable for these in love characters to dance at petrol pumps using petrol for their rain scenes.. p.s. i think i am forgetting the more they waste the more we become wasted..

Yes, Ramshi, you do make sense!
I swear, we need like Weight-Watchers for them or something.

Fine, Abdullah, YOU pay for my roti!

And thank you Seher, you're so kind. But the petrol idea is the most terrible thing I've ever heard of. Do not mention this again.
