The Pakistani Spectator

Have you seen blue print movie ever in your life?

I tried to recall any movie with that name, or any print with blue shades but couldn’t really place my fingers upon them and my answer was a confused no.

The guy at the movie shop was kind of amused. He handed over me a pack of CDs and said, ” yeah triple Pakistani video”hai, and from his leers and red face,  I got the meaning.

I threw the CDs on the shelf and stormed out of the CD shop. I am not talking about some village or town shop, but a famous shop in Zamzama Karachi. Such videos in Karachi are rampant, it seems. I went there to buy some old Western movies and asked the salesboy to give me some English Western movies, and also told him that I prefered some light romantic ones. Perhaps the word romantic was too much for him, and he equated the romance with such videos.

I though such movie business would be out as such obnoxious things are available on the Internet, but it seems that there is no end in sight.
