zindgi dhoop tum Ghana saya

...dal, who wants to eat dal, not me
  Murshid returned home  after evening  out since   morning    looking for jobs and  appearing  for interviews  , he freshened up before going to the kitchen and sit down  at a small table   as kadima heated the food for him  and served it hot , murshid was  starving  but one look at tge food killed his appetite,  he stood up  to leave  
Dear son murshid you   know  it is the  end of the  month,  frugal and honest in work  Salim had  always   lead his life in his limited income though  there were several  options to  make extra money  , he wanted his son to take up a job of  a clerk in the office  instead of staying joyless,  he could later find a better one,  murshid  had done his m com , he felt clerical side was below dignity  , he refused to accept it, , kadina was  running the  household  tightly  stretching the finances till the end of the month,  she was quite aware of her son's likes and dislikes, all she had in her kitchen was daal and it was something to  look forward to  at tge kitchen table what if that too wasn't there 
Ammi please stop  wailing  about  lack of finances  before me, he  irritated on her helplessness,  he  spent time  online  for jobs and  would appear for interviews,  he always found himself rejected  even though  he was so highly qualified
