 she banged her both hands on the dholak with excited energy and rani s dholak started officially for the function, her lovely melidious  voice filled the whole  area full of women , it was a massive open yard  that  comfortably accommodated entire village , all the chairs were arranged  in the back  outlining the  gathering  , the rooms were emptied, qamar was  snooping around with his group of boys  trying to have fun , bamboo cots and bamboo handmade stools were arranged towards the womens section , all the aged and elderly  occupied them , all the teenage girls and other younger women settled down around the dholaki beat to enjoy the show , it was the first opening scene  of the dholak beat kept  fifteen days ahead of the  wedding  it was a tradion  followed for genrations

Folk gidda  also started from this  dholak opening beat, older women folk  started the dancing  ,  then gidda started  and one by one younger girls joined the elderly  women  on invites , dragging laughing teasing  others to join in speaking singing  tumbling over each other falling  over each other  enigmatically brightening the wedding house , girls are birds , chirpy and sweet adding so much  meaningfulness to life itself , girls are birds  who decorate homes and surroundings  before flying away, bari barsi begins with the first dholak beat   double meaning funny  songs are sung and every profession  is presented in a twisted distortion of memes

...amma ji,  please take your nedicine, salma heloed her mother in law to sit up and swallow her medicines, amma ji was unable to get up for four days , on shammo s  engagement day amma ji had overeaten and got indigestion now it was troubling her, it was impossible for her to swallow anything , her burning ulcer was  making her miserable , all the heavily oily fried  greasy foods had activated her inner  illnesses , amma ji could not even take a step without someone s support, it was  her old age related weakness and  deteriorating health  problems issue  but even nimmo and shammo were  no better
It was an occassion of happiness , both had completely ignored bhabhi and with all their hands  stuffed themselves with the  delicious feast, both had reached their ends , unable to breathe , , they  were diagnosed cholera, anwar had taken them to the dispensary and that is completely a different story
Thankfully the lady doctor was still present at night at ten , who immediately   took action and emergency treatment started on them with  putting them on drip, amma ji was given medicines with follow ups and several more prescriptions, when nimmo and shammo  s condition slightly improved  amma ji   gave them a generous verbal thrashing

...it was a courtroom scene , aniq ahmed stood  in the witness box , he was accused  of killing his elder brother, aniq was a necganucal engineer  just returned from quwait
 His lawyer mirza beg  opened his argument  in favour  and defence of hus client anuq that he was not a criminal, that anuq was a decent law abiding  citizen   who lead a peaceful life , it was a conspiracy against him , his eldef brither was murdered and anuq was   falsely accused  
The  prosecutor   looking at the judge  sarcastically  cut in that his friend and colleague had used  terms   decent citizen and false charges , he must explain  from  which country  has his client come and  is he a national of this country, what is the basis of  this case being false  and a conspiracy
The defendant  priceeded to explain  his client   was  deliberately brought here  , there is no witness , murder is not an easy casual  thing to do specially of your loved ones ,  there is no motive  ,  and he will prove it in the future proceedings

... the mood in the courts of california was extremely hostile, the lawyer was absolutely certain his client will lose the case, he duscussed the matter with hus senior  in the firm   if it would be  a good idea to gift a most expenssive cigar box to the judge who liked cigars , the senior lawyer structly prohibited him to  do it because  the judge had a reputation if being very honest and wuse, the bribe could even  harm their own  case 
On the next hearing the lawyer  won the case , the senior lawyer  reminded him  the cigar box would have  gone against them
The lawyer laughed heartily, he actually had sent the cigar box to the judge but from the   rival lawyer

....just shutting your eyes the danger wont vanish
You will have to see the sights impossible to see
.
Goblet of love  is full of patience
Empty promises  dont measure it up
.
Burn either in hell or burn the gatherings
No flame is questioned  where to burn 
.
Doors of prayers  have shut tight before you
No live  complaints are to be risen loud again
.
We are one of the wealthy in town
Rules are made for others to follow
.
Buy and pocket pieces of skies as much you want
Yet the loan of   soil is never repayable
.
Enemies are  intensely  stressed  by wasim
Never ending debate when you are dead will go on
