from previous-

-chandni  looking  at  sikander   told her  friend  kiran  he  looked  somewhat  familiar  , kiran  also  bragged  if  someone  like  him had  she  ever  met  she  would  have  remembered  and  never  forgotten, chandni  wanted  some  time  and some  close  proximity  to  see  him to  recall where  and when had  they  met, she  pulled  her  chair  near  him introducing  herself  and  welcoming  him and  congratulating  him for  his  right  decision of  joining  their  institute , he checked  her  for  her  formality  and  dropping  all the   titles  attached  to  their  social  status  he  called  her  directly  by her  first  name  and  she  too  did  the  same  by  pronouncing  his  name  and  showing  how  happy  she  was  decorating  her  lips  with  her  best  smile

from previous-

from previous-

-then  kiran  asked  driving  the  car  , was  she  not  in a  relationship  a  year  ago, what  happened,  perhaps   it  was  possible  the  stalker  was  him but  he  had  changed  since,  he  could  still be  serious  about  her, but  she  wished  it  was  not  so  because   patching  up with  someone  she  had  broken up  was  not  going  to  make  her  any  happier,  but  if  it  was  someone  different  then they  could  take  his  help, suddenly  kiran  turned  a  corner  so  sharply  that  chandni  had  to   balance  her  self  and  her  scream,  what  was  kiran  doing  , the  party  was  on, yes  but  someone  was  following  them, it  was  a  car  and  its  headlights, again they  turned  a  corner   zaya asad  lived  near  by,  but  the  car  was  still following  them, trying  to  hit  them off  the  road

page 280-

-look  there  chandni  pointed   in a  direction  and  kiran  turned  to  her  eyes  to  see  there  was  an  aluminium  ladder  placed  in the  grassy  lawn  directly  beneath  chandni"s  bedroom on the  second  floor, this  was  amazing, first  the  flowers, then the  car  , now  this  , if  someone  had  come  to  stand  on it  he  too  should  have  fallen  down  with  the  ladder, there  were  no  signs  of  anyone  around  or  having   driven past  in a  vehicle,  , the  wind could  not  have  brought  the  ladder  there  coinciding  with  cards  and  flowers , one  thing  was  clear  and  certain that  someone  was  stalking  them, but  they  could  not  speak  to  their  mother  right  now  because  she  would  get  upset  and  she  believed  they  were  partying

-rashid  got  up  to  sit  next  to  the  professor  saying  he  was  mad  and  also  turning  him crazy  , but  the  professor  was  trying  to  present  his  view  point, what  did  he  get  after  all, not  this  world, not  the  after  world,  not  his  beloved  nor  the  wealth, not  his  love  nor  his  relatives , his  sister  nilofer  also  was  enjoying  life  forgotten was  he by  her  , no  body  bothered  to  look for  him,    reality  was  absolutely  different  from what  he  had  thought,  his  loss  was greater  than  his  gain, his  life  was  wasted  , he  was  finished like  him, rashid  stopped  him from talking  nonsense

-a  child  asked  his  father  what  should  he  believe whether  man  evolved  from monkey  as  his  mother  told  him or   man  descended from adam  and  eve   as  father  told  him, who  was  right  and  what  story  was  correct,  the  father  cut  him short  and  explained  both  were  right, mother"s  family  evolved  from monkeys and  she  still  growl  when  angry  , his  descended  from adam  and  he  behaved  gentlemanly  if  the  child  took after  him he  had  a  better  choice  to  grow  up  like  a  man than  a  monkey

-in a  factory  only  married  men  were  employed  as  workers, no  women , no  unmarried  men,  this  caused  a  sensation and  women  groups   shouted  slogans  before  the  factory  office  demanding  a  en explanation for  the  gender  and  marital  difference ,  the  manager  came  out  to  explain it  was  nothing  like  what  they  were  feeling, because  they  employed  only  married  men  because  they  were  more  patient, obedient  and  tolerant and  worked  more  hours  thanks  to  their  wives  training

from previous-

-the  difference  between the  professor  and  rashid  was  not  just  about  their  intentions  but  also  the  motive  and  back ground, the  professor  had  killed  and  rashid  had  not  committed  any  crime  yet  both  were  together  in the  same  cell in prison , both  were  given  same  treatment  because  both  were  good  and  their  behaviour  examplary , but  one  was  innocent  yet  he  was  there  with  the  killer  who showed  not  a  trace  of  guilt , rashid  had  lost  his   will  and  aim of  life, but  both  were  allowed  to  spend  and  share  time  together

-amazing  is the  quaint quality  of  time  for  everyone, it  is  not  the  same  , for  some  time  flies  past  in a  wink  of  an  eye  and  proves  it  is  the  last  moment  of  life  for  him it was  totally  opposite  when he  was  about  to  be  declared  free the  time  stopped  forever, the  dawn  of  freedom  never  arrived , he  could  not  breathe  ,

from previous-

-a  week  later  they  were  married, merjina  and  robinson,  it  was  a  grand  affair  of  a  wedding  function,  how  happy  she  was, he  also  spent  all his  time  with  her, for  a  month they  showered  their  total  attentive  love  on each other  and  then by  the  end  of the month he  came  home  a  changed  man,  his  another  colour  , his  other  side  of  his  character came to  surface , 

from previous-

-robinson over heard  the  conversation between the  uncle  and  his  niece , he  was  eating his  breakfast  at  the  table  and  he  got  choked,  her  decision  made  it  easier  to  swallow  the  morsel  , finishing  off his  meal  he  joined  them in the  drawing  room where  a  tall  elderly  man  came  closer  and  announced  sarcastically  so  this  was  the  pauper man  she  wanted  to  marry, but  she  also  stubbornly  announced  the pauper was  no  longer  going  to  stay  pauper  because  she  would  make  him rich , uncle  was  ready  to  accept  her  choice  but  not  going  to  support her  choice 

page 177-

-merjina  spoke  to  her  uncle  about  robinson, she  would  marry  only  him , he  was  poor  but  decent, grateful  for  she  had  saved  him, he  would  always  keep  her  safe  and  happy, unlike  other  suitors  who  were  eager  to  marry  her  for  her  wealth , who  could  quickly  get  rid  of  her   and  become  the  owners  of  her  wealth  , if  he  did  not  give  his  permission she  would  rather  stay  unmarried  all her  life  and  that  was  all

-a  new  groom reached  his  in laws  in lucknow  , the  mother  in law  respectfully  asked  what  should  be  cooked  for  the  lunch  for  him,  dear  son our   groom  would  you  like  to  have  mian pataoes  or  mehtrama ladyfingers, or  pumpkin sahib, the  groom simply  replied  he  was  not  worthy  of  all those  respectful  vegetables  and  preferred to  see  a  shameless rooster in his  plate  

amanat-

-it  was  past  mid  night, leaning  against  the  wall in the  datk  were  two  lovers,  ashraf  and  bano  who  were  not  allowed  to  marry  each other, she  was  engaged  to  her  cousin soon returning  from dubai, ashraf  declared  he  would  shoot  the  groom but  bano  when asked  if  that  would  solve  their  problem and  if  then they  would  be  able  to  marry  silenced  ashraf, they  could  not  live  without  seeing  each  other  and this type  of  meeting  in the  field  at  night  was  no  life
