HUMSAFAR AND EFFECTS

The HumSafar Phenomenon. This serialized adaptation of a novelistic piece of literature has had profound effects which have affected the Pakistani populace.

The following are some common observations that have been observed with regards to an average Pakistani observer/s of HumSafar.

They remain at home on Saturday. Saturday traditionally being the day when people usually go out and explore the world with their own two eyes rather than through a screen. An observing observer will however change his entire schedule e.g cancel his/her flight, miss a wedding, not get married, forget to go to the bathroom, if these events in anyway conflict with the timings of HUMSAFAR.

The subject will also abandon any on going activity abruptly if HUMSAFAR is to start or the commercial is about to end. Rumors of food being left on the stove,uncooked food being eaten, babies left crying, husband left dying, wife’s utterly forgotten when mahira appears can all be directly related to this social phenomenon known as HUMSFAR.

Another observation most commonly observed is lifestyle changes. Subjects being completely devoid of common sense as is common are prone to vaguely connect every single event in the programme to their own ten times more better and colorful life. They fail to realize that that the programme has a whole year or month broadcasted in a mere hour. This obvious fact is impossible for subjects to grasp and all they do is whine of how their life is so empty and full of problems compared to the 1 hour a week scripted and carefully directed life of HUMSAFAR.

For the first time in the history of Pakistan people now care about emergency situations. Yes the Pakistani awam has finally woken up. HUMSaFAr has now achieved what neither quaid-e-azam’ speeches nor imrans khans rallies have been able to accomplish. Subjects in the life threatening scenario where they miss the Saturday night show (OH God please give us strength to bear this pain) they now have a system where they wake up early, yes early in the morning and that also on a Sunday! Who would have ever heard that a Pakistani would wake up early on Sunday. But it has happened and all because of HUMSAFAR

There is also another negative aspect. With great success come great sacrifice. The sacrifice that we (manly-music-loving manly men) had to give was the death of a rock star. Yes my fellow men we can never again view fawad khan as the head banging vocalist of the super awesome band E.P. he is lost to us. The female population has turned head banging fawad into hunkalicious-eyecandy-icecream-chocolate frosting fawad.

For a period of one hour there is complete peace,quiet,tranquility,calm,order,harmony,lack of traffic,good weather,good food,better-looking spouses and generally a standard of life that is atleast 7-7quadmillion times better than normal. This hour of bliss is sometimes enough to make the Pakistani people bear the rigours of everyday NORMAL life.

One interesting effect HumSafar has had on masochistic masochist males is how it has reintroduced them to their softer,feminine more delicate side. Normally such masochistic masochist males refrain from viewing such tv episodic material. However HumSafar has forced such males to adapt a lifestyle of stealth and ninjitsu when it comes to watching this drama. Common observations include sitting next to the wife with an expression of disdain and disgust and passing remarks such as “ YEH KAISA DRAMA HAI” and “ASLI MAIN AISA KAHAN HOTA HAI” while deeply contemplating in their minds the repercussions of Ashers deeds on Khirads life. Another big plus for such males is the opportunity to view female models in various forms of clothing ranging from modern to the traditional ( but always with exceptional makeup) without ANY complaint from aforementioned wives.

This observational observance of observers of HumSafar has been carefully observed and the noted observations have also been observed by noted observers of the field of Observation who are experts at the science of observing observable material to ensure that the observable Phenomenon of Humsafar is accurate to the observers of this piece of literature.
