....they were both  childhood friends,  lived in the same town,  during  their childhood  like any other normal  innocent children they also   played  silly pranks,  now grown-ups they were  professional  robbers,  their names were not so blackened  , perhaps it was because they weren't quite bold and daring,  they were spared because  to become a terror of a  dangerous  person  risks  must be taken,  one of them was Tahir shah the other nawab Alam, they were similar in many ways,  both had lost their fathers,  both had completed their schooling till matric,  both were unemployed,  both were unable to get any job,  both did not have any business experience,  , to get a job qualification is needed  or a political push,  and to start a business  money and hardwork  both of them lacked  these , both   were the eldest sons  who had to shoulder the family burden,  both were not married  , responsible for their mothers and younger siblings  to take care of 
But life was moving on,  they had to  feed themselves and their loved ones,  worried and left with  expenses  they both became robbers 
In a small town like theirs  far far  away from the city weren't many opportunities  of making wealth from robbing the poor  villagers,  maximum  they could  get to steal a goat from the adjoining  village,  letting it loose  to let it disappear  , other options were to carry cement bags from somewhere or other building materials,  once they even dared to  get away with a motorbike
