With Independence Day 2015 just around the corner, it
seems apt to count down all the different kind of ‘patriotic’ people we
see this time of the year. We all have them in our social circle, from
the most prominent Pakistan lover who blasts the age old ‘Milli Naghme’
aka patriotic songs in his car to the least bothered Pakistani who only
puts up the mandatory Independence Day status because well… its
Pakistan’s birthday. And in case you can’t find one, it just might be
you!

The Loud Patriot
This guy loves roaming around on his bike on Independence Day without a
silencer, treating everyone to the painful noise of his motorbike. No
need to look out for him. You’ll hear his bike from 2 streets away!
Dedicated to the Pakistanis who like to show their admiration to the
struggles of our forefathers through their dismantled automobile parts,
per say, an ironically loud ‘silencer’. This group of extra ordinary men
seem to think that people lose their audible senses on the big day. |

The Flagged Patriot
She is green, she is mean, she is a Paki-machine! She has clothes made
in the style of the national flag, complete with the crescent moon and
five-pointed star. Her face is painted with the flag and her nails
painted white. And she still feels the need to wear a Pakistani flag
badge! You can see her coming from a mile away! |

The Plain Weird Patriot
When all of us are decorating our homes with flags and buntings, there
is always that one weirdo who paints his car or his house in the
national colors. And then he expects everyone to love it! |

The Social Media Patriot
This person has the flag plastered on every social media platform.
Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, SoundCloud, LinkedIn – you name it! Your
Newsfeed will be full of quotes from Jinnah and other national heroes. |

The Discount Hunting Patriot
This girl’s definition of celebrating Pakistan’s Independence Day is
limited to cashing in on all the discounts by Khaadi, Gul Ahmed, J. and
other brands. And after all that shopping, they go to avail the biggest
and best offers at the various eateries and cafes around town! How do
you spot this one? Easy! Just check their Facebook check in!

The 9 O’ Clock Patriot
Then there are those guys whose ‘patriotism’ shows only when it’s time
to switch the news on at 9 and watch through till 12. They eat and
breathe the national news channels and talk shows.
