Facebook page of the day: How maila are you?



What is your maila quotient? 

The founder(s) of the Maila Tips Facebook page are unknown but maila or not, the founder(s) have done a 'lush' (maila for awesome) job at capturing  the essence of what it takes to be a quintessential Pakistani maila.

According to the information provided on the page, it was founded on June 1, 2011 and has since then posted over 200 tips, including a few shared by fans. Examples include:
Tip#168: You're not a maila if you go to McDonalds without dressing up! YOU HAVE TO DRESS UP LARKAY! BACHIYAN HOTI HAIN YAAR! - Omer Masood Taj

Tip#5: Making a kissing sound towards your opponent when winning = mental destruction.

Tip#96: If Barney Stinson was born in Pakistan, he'd DEFINITELY be a maila.

Tip#112: Coffee? Hata bay...CHAI FTW!

This clearly isn't your everyday 'tips' page on Facebook. The page has almost 15,000 likes so far, with a mission statement that claims "to help our maila brothers and our maili dostein gain the place they deserve in this society".

Facebook page rating: Bohat Aala (maila for Two Thumbs up) for promoting Pakistan's street lingo/slang which has gradually become a part of our country's pop culture.

Well I have used a lot of Maila Tips at IBA and I think they really work. Even my current fiance was attracted to me by my mailay actions. Way to go guys I am all up for being a Maila.
