what's IN & what's OUT (in Pakiland 2012)

IN
1)Taking a whole trail of obnoxious, ugly, badly behaved, uber cheap kids by the bulk to late night affairs - weddings, mehndis, musical evenings!!! yes!! (I mean what are the parents thinking?)

OUT
1)Going by the invite

IN
2)Twitches and facial/body ticks! of all kinds and forms!! I am amazed at the variety of ways men move their lips, nose, cheeks when they are uncomfortable or making a point or in the spotlight. Then there are horrendous ways of moving a shoulder every 5 seconds (you can set your watch by it, I swear) or shaking legs in a funny way.

OUT
2)Behaving gracefully and keeping all obviously obnoxious facial and bodily contractions private.

IN
3)Patent words people use which in Urdu we call by the fabulous title of one's 'takiya kalam' literally meaning 'pillow talk'. Such as - Behar Hal, Khair hai (really) you know, errr (no). I know hmmm, (absolutely not). UFFF, TOBAH, acha to and or just some bad words if you're really lucky.

OUT
3)Respect for language and its pronunciations - such as, calling law LAA,
