So if you have seen in the last two days, I carried around a very pink book. Everyone thought I was reading for pleasure. Seriously guys? Now? Many of you asked me what this book is about..so here is something for you guys.. And Aimen was very happy to see the world Pakistan on the cover.
But this book is about how ignorant people can be. This book is written by Moni Mohsin, and Fools of the world is her theme.
The main character, Buttterfly, is an amply proportioned Begum with diamond studs the size of rupee coins and huge designer sunglasses was holding forth on her newly purchased shahtoosh. “Haan so I got this one yesterday only. It is seven also yards, na. I had two from before also but they were three yards only. So I thought, chalo, might as well get a big one also.”
In summary, Butterfly is a knuckle-brained socialite who has the unusual talent of delivering a bolt from the blue with her by-the-way shrewd, political comments. And malapropism is her forte and stock-in-trade. So the Kinnaird College-educated “sophisty, smart and socialist” lady sails through politically volatile times, right from 9/11 to Benazir Bhutto’s assassination, with her tittle-tattle and parties.
After reading this book, I realized that there are many ignorant fools in the world. And I have to learn how to deal with them. There is nothing wrong in wearing Prada shoes but make sure know what is going around you and the world.
In simple, this book is hilarious. Its written in Hindlish. Yes I said Hindlish. If you don't understand Hindi or Urdu guys, its a pretty hard book to read.
