Closed shop addictions MT @Israr_Naqvi Kulsoom Nawaz bought a shoe in Germany on Sun by calling shopkeeper and paying extra while NS was PM.

[Cafe Pyala @cpyala]

@umairjav You were right. Good use of time spent among the natives.

[Cafe Pyala @cpyala]

@shehryar_taseer Ah, I see, your sis Sana's clothes! :) See why it is better to transliterate sister as behen?

[Cafe Pyala @cpyala]

@umairjav I am still dying to know... like the Indians, who were just dying.

[Cafe Pyala @cpyala]

"Sana bhains cloth"... What is it?! Cloth made from buffalo called Sana? Am dying to know.

[Cafe Pyala @cpyala]

Pardon the ignorance but what exactly is "Sana bhains cloth"? MT @shehryar_taseer everyone in India was dying over Sana bhains cloths....

@Rabia_Farrukh77 Don't really hv great trust in Daily Beast's reporting abilities. And Jihad Yar sounds like a Pussy Galore type of name. :)

[Cafe Pyala @cpyala]

Asked why this bile against media, alleged TTP Waziristan commander says "It's jihad, yaar." Accord to Daily Beast, his name is Jihad Yar.

[Cafe Pyala @cpyala]

So anyway, TTP now want to target secular Pakistanis, "Shia TV channels" & female journos to show how biased media is.

[Cafe Pyala @cpyala]

Taliban think the media is biased against them. Aw, boo hoo hoo, poor fucks. http://t.co/JXzGBPlG … via @asadmunir38
