- Assalam-o-alaikum Pakistan
I mean, Radio Pakistan was heard in every single household while our nanis and dadis did their little chores like silayi, karhayi and even during the safayi. Also, is it just me or did everyone try to copy the little girl’s accent as she said Assalam-o-alaikum Pakistan?
