To show up unexpectedly somewhere.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In Pakistan, unannounced visits are a sign of 'apnaiyat' (closeness). If you have to call before coming, you aren't considered a 'true' friend. 'Tipak parna' celebrates this informal bond. Similar to Pakistan, the 'Atithi Devo Bhava' (The guest is God) philosophy means guests are welcomed even if they 'tipak paray' at midnight. In big cities like Karachi or Delhi, people now prefer a 'heads up' text. Using 'Tipak parna' now often carries a sarcastic tone about someone's lack of boundaries. On Urdu social media, this is used for 'trolls' or 'random commenters' who appear in a thread to argue.
Use for Surprises
Only use this when the arrival is truly a surprise. If you knew they were coming, it sounds weird.
Avoid with Elders
Don't use this for your grandparents or teachers unless you have a very joking relationship.
