What is it about Princesses and Pakistanis? First Jemima Khan converted to Islam to marry Imran Khan. Then there was a whole drama between Princess Diana and her one true love, “Mr. Wonderful”, Dr. Hasnat Khan. Diana was reportedly considering conversion and possibly even a life in Pakistan. And now, the ever reliable Sun reports that Britney Spears is also considering converting to Islam and moving to Pakistan to be with her current boyfriend, paparazzi Adnan Ghalib.
But let’s back up to the Diana story first, because it’s the most interesting. According to her butler, Diana begged Khan to marry her:
“This was her soul mate,” he said. “This was the man she loved more than any other. It was a very deep and spiritual relationship.” Khan would often visit Diana and her boys at Kensington Palace, Burrell added, because the Princess was “adamant” that William and Harry get to know and grow to like Khan.Burrell revealed that he and Diana discussed giving Khan his own quarters at the Palace and that the Princess was so serious about marrying Khan she asked Burrell to find out if it was possible for them to have a private wedding.[Link]
She even met his family in Pakistan and kept in touch with his mother:
[Said Khan’s mother] “She was so nice, so friendly and down to earth. She met my mother, Hasnat’s grandmother, my nephews and nieces, all the family.” [Link]
Meanwhile she stopped speaking to her own mother because of her mother’s opposition to the relationship:
“She called the Princess a whore and said she was messing around with eff-ing Muslims and she was disgraceful and said some very nasty things.” It was after that conversation, he said, that Diana decided she didn’t want to speak to her mother ever again. [Link]

p>Dodi then, was just a rebound, a way to get Hasnat jealous after he said that cultural differences would make it impossible to marry. This explains why the relationship was so public, and why she courted the paparazzi whose attention would spiral out of control:
She started dating Dodi in part, said Burrell, to make Khan jealous. …”She knew very well what she was doing.” All those tabloid photos of Dodi and Di cavorting on his yacht? The Princess counted on the cameras watching them… [Link]

p>Britney Spears seems intent on proving the adage that history repeats itself, first as tragedy then as farce:
Meanwhile the fallen singer has been telling pals how much she’s in love with Ghalib, 35 and that she plans to marry him and convert to his faith, Islam. In her crazier moments she’s even been threatening to fake her own death to start a new life with him in Pakistan.The News Of The World also revealed that Ghalib’s respectable Sunni Muslim family in Birmingham are so horrified by his antics they have disowned him. One family member told the paper: “His parents … are devastated. This week his dad gave him an ultimatum, ‘Give up Britney, or you are dead to me,’ which Adnan ignored…” [Link]

Meanwhile Pakistani women are wondering what they need to do to get a bit of attention:
“Look at the way they treat our women. I think they are so chauvinistic and full of themselves. I wonder what these women find attractive in them? May be they should launch their charm offensive on Pakistani women. That’s something we women will never complaint against,” Haq chuckled. [Link]

p>And Rasika is warning other desi men not to get too (ahem) cocky:
Move along guys, there’s no coat-tails for non-Pakistani desi men to ride here …

Nala is so anti-Scythian Makes me wonder what world she’s been livin’ in Lemuria is all she goes on about How about giving Scythia a shout-out?

Sure he may be a gunda, But for sake of equity, Let’s say that I’m a munda.
Uh, and by ‘munda’ I mean in the Telugu sense, not the Punjabi sense.

i speak the truth, no sly lies i utter radha is i to that sweet thief of butter some power sepiadestiny has set a-flutter a deal that no mere mortal could tear asunder
Nala, why do you waste so much of your time writing such an insane number of those silly rhymes
and if to your radha i were to become the gopika? would you share, or would you say, to hell with you, you deepika!
though i fear that i could never fully ensnare, unless arjuna’s chariot was led by a drugg’ed mare.
i see someone is in a bad humor, as for why i waste time, well, winter break relaxation, it’s like a tumor.
xanthippe was the wife of socrates, did you know she was witty? perhaps you should be more like her and speak in ditties, maybe then you won’t end up in hades.
One you go Parsi, you’ll be part of a community that’s always barsi.

If you go for the Sai freak, on a picture of Sai Baba you should never take a leak.
If you go for a dravidian, chances are you crossed some kind of meridian.
I know that meridians are vertical, but what I’m referring to, is more horizontal.
Laloo, Doesn’t he look kind of like Aloo?

There was a man from Baroda, he went on a trip to the south, He couldn’t get enough vadas, He would stuff them into his mouth.
There was a man who was a big fan of idli, He went by the name Ned Flanders. When presented with idlis, Okely-dokely-idli-diddly! He would banter.
I think I just jumped the shark, Now I embark.
Jeez, nala, maybe you should post once in a while, it would give people a chance to get to know you.
nala seems shiftless and bored to tears, taking solace in her keyboard after wearing out her rabbit ears.
nala, port’s no dilettante and i’m no h-muff we both got the goods, we hot stuff, i’m focused, know where my ship must dock the lighthouse points to port, and we get off the rocks.

Even Churchill apparently had something going on with Jinnah
That video is funny. To be fair, once you go desi, as compared to black, white or whatever, then what happens?
Girls…. any comments?
Do the desi men have any speciality?
