Here we go!

1.The ‘Nakchari’ Aunty who absolutely doesn’t like anything you do or say, especially when you score a higher grade than her children.

2. Gormint Aunty has been our favourite since the February ’17 when her video went viral where she’s cussing the government of Pakistan.

This epic photoshop of the Gormint Aunty with Modi is such a win!

3. Argh, so relatable! Ths is almost every aunty we know X(

4. Another winner picture from Game of Thrones but you really need to know the reference, nevertheless, it went viral on social media in Pakistan.

5. This one is classic; just every phuphi/khala/chachi/taayi/mami/nani/dadi’s most favorite thing to say.

6. That moment when you upload a picture with a friend of the opposite sex, aunties be like:

7. Again…

8.Because every aunty in your neighborhood knows all about your life; your friends,

9. This is also our mom at times when she sees a potential rishta boy. Haye Allah! So much interrogation, I swear.

10. That one ‘taana‘ which never gets old

11. Uff, qasm say </3

1. Missing Food Big Time (.. big… Big Mac)

On Twitter, a hungry tweeter pleaded: “Can you please not use hashtags (#) during Ramadan? It looks like a waffle”. This innocent tweet shows how deeply hunger affects our thinking during the holy month of Ramazan. In fact, many have to have conscious reminders not to take a bite of the kids’ lunch, and suppress constant chai cravings. This is an expedition which can last all the way up to the first Ashra.

Warning: Groggy caffeine-deprived people on the loose!

2. Newsfeed and Ad Overflow

The first struggle comes pre-Ramazan, with an explosion of discount ads ranging from television to social media. With Ufone showing off Faisal Qureshi’s witty dialogues and Hamza Ali Abbasi making glow lights out of Pepsi bottles; it’s a real circus act testing the human decision-making process – and it all seems like a filler for a great opera. The companies prey on mass psychology in making people believe that their product is all they need for a hungry belly. Choices have never been so complex when it comes to choosing food; be it a mega buffet or a soft drink. The ads are so repetitive and cheaply scripted that they make you cringe. And, and, and… the game shows! What did I do to deserve watching people falling over themselves for a washing machine? How I wish people had a 160 character limit when they spoke!

3. Cliche Cholesterol, Maybe? A guilty pleasure for Ramazan!

The amount of eating increases dramatically during this month. Samosas, pakoras, jalaibis and other deep-fried foods are a staple on every iftar table. They have become so embedded in our culture that without them no iftar is considered complete.
The other day, I told someone about my sehri menu, which was Weetabix cereal and yogurt. They judged me and my taste buds, and said “Anday parathay kay baghair bhala koi sehri hoti hai?”
Since then, I’ve been having parathas for sehri *feels double chin*

4. Full appetite, half broke

Them: “All you can eat”
Translation: “All you can spend”
But it is true – after consuming the typical iftari: samosay, pakoray, Rooh Afza, fruit chaat, jalaibi, dahi bhallay, rolls and what not (thank God I’m not writing this during the roza), one begins to think how the same iftar was being made at home. It’s the thrill of Ramazan that becomes a big woe when you start eating out. Ghar ka khana FTW!

5. Pleasing the host (So much for being a foodie)

Born to a desi household, you cannot offend your host because you’ll get a rapid-fire of: “Beta ye tau lia he nai”, “Kitna kam khatay ho”, “Diet pe ho kya?”, “Khati nahi ho, phir bhi moti ho?” Meanwhile, an aunty puts a heap of aaloo channa chaat on your plate. This social obligation to please the ‘maizbaan’ causes unnecessary consumption of food and rampant bad health. So much so that at times we dread the ‘zabardasti ki aftariyaan’. Also, rozaydaars and their ‘ate too much’ post-iftar face is animated even more when they see the weighing scale: “Umm, but that’s my nana’s age!”

Woes and wows make this holy month special and the most memorable throughout the year.It’s a month of sharing, caring, and making sure we don’t run out of basin!

Math. That one word which has haunted (many of) us throughout our academic years. Our hatred for this particular discipline wasn’t developed one fine morning rather it was more like trying to keep our emotions inside until we reached a bottleneck situation. Sigh.

If you’ve ever felt dumb in class, don’t worry! We gotcha, you’re not the only one. There are a million people who hate math as much as you do.

1. Is it true that all math teachers are the same? That awkward moment when you can’t guess if you don’t like math or the math teacher.

2. We all do, we all do <3 

3. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!

4. Oh well, that escalated quickly…

5. Has it always been like this with you too? When you had to think of a billion excuses to skip math homework. Well, this one sort of works if you have a cat. Psst.

6. Yaaaar! Honestly, these problems aren’t real, to begin with. We are all sick of finding x and y and answering with alphabets. I mean, what on earth is this logic?!

7. AHH HELL YES! THAT ONE TIME IN 1997! Just one of the best feelings ever, I tell you

8. Yeah well, my answer could have been ‘South Africa’ as well but phew!

9. What sorcery is this! It’s not math, perhaps it’s the math class environment that we hate. Deteste. Bakwas. Na-panad. Hargiz nahi

10. Language proficiency skills, please?

11. I tried so hard and got so far but in the end, it doesn’t even matter *sobs sobs* 

12. When it comes to math memes, Scoop Whoop seems to have nailed it by the expressions of Bollywood stars 

13. This one

14. And this too. HAH

15. If you thought it’s only your teacher to be this mean, have a look at this meme. Huehuehuehue

16. There’s always that one person in the class who…

17. Oh yes *cries a river*

18. Argh, go away, just go…

19. There there, my child

20.  The only calculation we like doing every day. Yep, math is applicable to everyday life

Okay, chin up, child. We all hate math. There there, my child, there there.

A Pakistani millennial reminiscing about their life is likely to remember some eye-opening events and facts about Pakistan. They typically include events such as Benazir’s reign, PTV times, the-no-check-post Pakistan, and many more. One person who has always given us events to remember is our Kaptaan, Imran Khan.

Ever since we were kids, Khan Sahab has been talking about his marriage(or divorce…ahem). Known for being the heartthrob/stud-muffin/global celebrity crush/ Pakistan’s sweetheart, body goals and whatnot that he is, the Chairman PTI is also known to be quite famous among the ladies of our country.

Here are some memes under the light of Imran Khan’s married life:

Ho ho ho!

When Imran Khan surprises us with the news of him getting married, you’re likely to hear these responses:

1. Hamari abhi tak ek bhi nai hui…

2. Yeah so that’s his personal matter, let him be.

3. I wanted to marry him! *sobs sobs*

4. This is too much, this man is just a drama queen. Kya publicity stunt hai…

5. Meanwhile, there are people like Gharida Farooqui who state facts even if they sound bitter.

However, this is also true *nods along*

Imran Khan’s choice in women is also respectful. Given the glamour and stardom he enjoys, he can find even a teenager wife but he always goes for divorcees. This is him showing us that divorcees are not outcasts and deserves happiness and bliss of marriage.

Whether you or I approve of Imran’s marriage or not is immaterial.

Who (and when) Imran has married is a personal choice. A politician’s personal choices can only be questionable if they interfere in his political judgements or his personal & public lives become interchangeable.

6. Dude, he won us the world cup! *fades back to North Korea*

Anyway, the news of Immy Kay getting married for the third time has gone viral as we see. The fact that our awaam can’t digest the fact that it’s his third marriage/ it’s with a woman who came in out of the blue, is getting a bit too much for all of us. Can’t some slack, yaar. 

Let’s have a look at the varied views on our social media newsfeed. Here’s a little teaser though,

Oops, just kidding, yo!

It seems as if we as Pakistanis are always waiting for something to happen so we can generate memes about it. The thrill and the humor shared after whatever happens is celebrated though. No matter what happens around the country, our people know how to churn it into something comical. Obviously, it’s not liked by everyone all the time. Stop making fun of him, people :p Go back to work, look at you trying to look busy reading this.
