Adnan Sami released “Lift Kara De” around the same time, and my bullies found a new nickname, apart from the usual mote (fatso), bhains (buffalo), and gende (rhino). The way I always saw it, the world needed both thin and fat folks to maintain the universal balance of body mass. Ask any kid around you who grew up fat (or still is). On the contrary, it’s a constant war waged on us by gravity and sweaty pits.
Life as a chubby kid is never rainbows and sunshines.
