Our people need a golden lesson in "Not giving a fu**" and minding their own business.

"An individual's freedom begins and ends at their own nose, no one has the right to point someone out for their lifestyle choices, if someone drinks, its their money buying alcohol and their bodies ingesting it, its their choice as is ours to abstain, they respect ours and we must respect theirs"- My father when I said I wouldn't see my old school friends again because they took alcohol when we all gathered after some years.

So the Elder Sethi Sahib is a wise-man; Uncle sounds like a Butt Sahib at heart !

You on the other hand get drunk just by inhaling some alcohol swabs let alone drinking so its understandable that you wanted to stay clear of alcohol !

A PIA Air Hostess wearing uniform designed by Pierre Cardin. In 1966, Pierre Cardin, the renowned French fashion designer, came up with the legendary fawn colour uniform for summer and moss green uniform for winter. The uniform consisted of a short, easy fitting "A" line tunic, slim-line trousers and imaginatively moulded dupatta that not only covered heads but also turned heads. The uniform became an instant hit, the slim-line trousers immediately were dubbed as 'PIA Pajamas'. Fashion-conscious young ladies, all across Pakistan, copied Cardin's design eagerly. This popular uniform design was used by the airline from 1966 to 1975
