Context. That depends. Say you wanted to go the US, you might just google it, and you might just ask people what the good sites are :smile:

Someone should fill me on in this, what exactly is this thread about? Nava nava banda aaya veh, patai na.


It is as it says. A Pakistani society, where Pakistanis (majority) tend to talk, but then you might get the odd Indian, or white person etc.. that might be interested to know stuff perhaps :smile:

Hmm yh I do see quite a few but then I see even more shorter ones, perhaps it's an area thing so like the most 'type' of Pakistani lives in one area more? Lol like their ancestory 'tribe' might generally be short ....
I read this back and think it sounds dead stupid ... But hopefully You get the gist ...:redface:

Tbf, Pakistanis "tend" to be a bit shorter than European people :smile: Though Im happy being around the average for an English person :biggrin:

Also shorter people live longer apparently :biggrin: - if it weren't for the fact that we're predisposed to a **** tonne of health issues :angry:

Yeah we're pretty predisposed to that kinda stuff unfortunately :frown: Though diabetes type 2 is generally lifestyle choice.Let's say the person who's most likely to have high cholesterol is a 40+ year old, south Asian male, who doesn't really do any exercise and is a couch potato

At least you have your gender going for you :biggrin: On the plus side, it's harder for us to get skin cancer, and our eyes are better in the sun (unless you're me :biggrin: ) because of the brown iris

Hmmm interesting stuff right there, ngl tho pretty sure most pakis try stay out of the sun due to this 'lighties are more prestigious' -(which I'm extremely against)
Guess we gotta stay away from the barfi's guys :tongue:

Are you a med student/doc by any chance lol?

Screw that thinking. If it's sunny, Im going out in the sun :biggrin: THough Im not as dark as some other people. This stuff goes back centuries unfortunately ie: the rich didn't work in the fields

And nope. Just stuff I read when I got my own cholesterol checked, and I have an interest in this sorta stuff as well :smile:

He probably isn't into it as much as most people are. I'm obsessed with it, literally. I haven't missed a game for two years now, including test matches. :colondollar:

Our recent performance has been great though, batting has improved with the introduction of the new youngsters and the bowling attack is still the best in the world. Hoping for a clean 3-0 sweep tomorrow insha'Allah.
