Photographs make the business. Right?
|
| Naeem:
|
:-)
|
| M:
|
The little chair beside, what kind of person should there be?
|
| N:
|
Yeah but weird thing is the mannequins right next to it are men, at least I presume from the bulge.
|
| M:
|
They are standing well. I mean the body. And the tree between is ripped? Or what happened?
|
| N:
|
This is of course a tried and true tradition. Beautiful image+distraction to draw you in.
|
| M:
|
Ja, classical. It works. Heysan!
|
| N:
|
Hey even the burkha shops in old Dhaka, selling what we call "ninja" burkhas, sometimes have pictures of Juhi Chowla.
|
| M:
|
Burkha? What is it?
|
| N:
|
Hijab.
|
| M:
|
Hijab? Sorry. I don't know Juhi Chowla neither. Basicaly I don't know what you are talking about.
|
| N:
|
The head to toe veil. It's the veil clothing worn by Muslim women. Juhi Chaula or Chowla is Miss India. DO NOT INCLUDE THIS portion in our transcript.
|
| M:
|
Why?
|
| N:
|
Because I think "head to toe veil" is a really poor way to explain the burkha. So anyway my point is, even in the most unexpected contexts there can be bursts of beauty. We will edit the transcript later, yes?
|
| M:
|
Surely edited.
|
| N:
|
Heh. Bastard, I don't believe you. See in the old days I used to enjoy in explaining in great detail all the Muslim artefacts. But these days I want to escape the role of "native translator". Which sometimes explains what these custom feel like to me.

| After note:
|
My wife thinks it is so embarrassing that I didn't know Burkha was called Burkha and I should take this part off. Now that two of you say so, it seems to be a good reason to include the whole thing. Haihai!
