Cultural Insight
Alisha: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. Hospitality is one of the hallmarks of Pakistan. People love to arrange and attend occasional social gatherings. If you are invited somewhere, you must attend the function or, if you can’t join, convey your timely apologies to avoid any tension in the relations.
