MC in town!

Delia and Sharmin were in town last week with an agenda packed with a LOT of meetings but, as always, we also managed to have our fun too! :)

The house was once again celebrating 'diversity ' :) I think I should keep a guestbook now like the one in Pakistan House and also rename my house ..lol. The latest entry in the guestbook at that time was of Musharraf and his wife but the one entry which caught my eye was of an ' ex porn star ' from Malaysia..LOL !!
These people sure do come across a lot of ' interesting ' people !...hmmmm.....
Thepast few months have been nothing less than incredible with the number of foreigners that have visited the country and have stayed with us; Austalia...Germany..Romania..Switzerland..USA...England..and now India. Is there any Brazilian willing to come down here ? hehehe

We took Sharmin to the Wagha Border and i was quite surprised to learn that she had never heard about it. Every day a flag-lowering cermony is held there where the Pakistani and Indian guards on either side march up and down simultaneously, stomping their feet, showing their anger towards each other while patriotic slogans emanate from the big crowd gathered on either side. It's all an act, since obviously they're on talking terms with each other with the amount of activity that takes place at the border everyday. The Lahore-Delhi bus also passes through this border.

Our MCVPICX was getting bugged by the fact that she can't exit the country from the border. Instead, she will have to go all the way down to Karachi and then fly out ! ( Sharmin, next time get a walk-across visa so that you can also jive in the no-man's land like we did .LOL ! )
There's also a Chacha WAGAH, just like the 'Chacha Cricket ! ' . Much older and dressed in green and white, the chacha led the crowd with the ' naaraaybaazi'.

It was fun and now there is a plan in the pipeline for an ' @ the border ' meeting with @ers from either side....that will be pretty cool ! We then showed her around Lahore, and went to the Badshahi MOsque...it looks absolutely gorgeous at night !

It was Sharmin's last visit to Lahore and I hope to see her again here ! Pretty soon the MC will be leaving Pakistan ! *sniff * :( .....I had my share of waterworks at NLC so i'm not going to do that over here :P....WE WILL MISS U !


Lahore Lahore Hai !!
