... the  man s attitude was  surprising  and rather odd, though both of them had  come together as a couple  the woman   kept on chattering for the past hour  incessantly  but the man sat silently  not uttering a word  , it felt he was  there a show piece   to be seen  and finally the lawyer stopped the woman  respectfully,  anila ji , who is this man with you 
He  is a resident neighbor   she explained,  his name is Muhammad yahoo, ours are very  close family relationship with yahoo bhai  and his family because there wasn't anyone else to accompany her she  had brought him along 
So that's it, the lawyer commented noncommittal and  turned his attention to the male , yahoo  sahib what do you do for a living 
In a most simple manner  yaqoob  informed him he  worked in a shop at a cloth house,  because his speech wasn't clear  anila explained  it was  jamya cloth house  shop he worked  in, 
Again the lawyer  turned to ask yaqoob what kind of things were sold there 
Jamya cloth  is one of the  famous   central  city shop where  besides  clothing other  things are also sold,   surrounded with spicy  chaat shops , the lawyer  crossed the  road daily on his way to and back to the city court
