This news had sent waves of rejoicing in the whole household , but abba had absolutely different ways of working , he was old timer and  totally loyal to malik sahib, he had  given all his life to his family, his life was commitment  to loyalty

They are certainly evil but how to say that

Bad is bad , bad is good how to say that

They are merged into my breaths , heart , glances

Separate from me they are how to say that

If not through my gazals how to say that

Poverty is fanned by winds of misfortunes

...no communication no handshakes

No interaction with  the not  so likeminded

Yes love has blessed us so

Not a word of complaint can be found

Mirror says so different you are from the world

Why more like us sre not foiund

Withered completely are blossoms like children

Undernourished  uncared for

Seeki courteous  gatherings because

Life  s enjoyments are  not for all

Lesson for shirkers  is blunt

False tokens of profit  also escape

What can be mentioned of the homeless

Life is real    not easy for all

But older mature men keep their women happy  argued ehsan  and the agressiveness of their women  i did not notice but it completely depends on our daughter to get along with them , mahi s father sighed coolly

Not neccessarily  that things would go as you think because many a times mature men become crazy and behave weird  when their wives are extraordinary beauties and very young, they become illogical and psychological

Though life is killing

Long life is a blessing

That is the ultimate  pride and power

The bike driver was a constable and his back passenger a sub inspector, they could not  have found the end of the row house in the street without his help, 

There was a complaint made by a woman  on telephone , who gave the number address and the name of the man who was harrassing her

For the past one year there was a visible spike in the local robbery landscape 

The cases were quoted as  salary snatching in isolated spots near the banks , , these incidents  firced jibran to think that he was also one of the underworld robber but why only bank clients were selectively targetted

Nable was not a real electrician but he  could make himself useful  in several ways 

Zahir was unemplyed and absolutely loafer, he belonged nowhere, not invited not acceptable anywhere, he was a useless pawn on the life board of chess

She  spat hatefully  

Did you fail to hear me he demanded  his voice carried the heat of rage 

I heard you , you miserable cruel man , i dont answer to men  such as you, you are idious , ending her sentence quickly she spat turning away 

It came as a startle because nobody dare speak to him like this flippantly, it was gard to swallow his wounded pride , because she was helpless and  left at her mercy , she could be beheaded at his  slight  gesture

Your mental balance is  disturbed but your beauty is an attraction  , you are forgiven 

You liar, killer  how can you forgive anyone , to defy you is a crime  but your men have killed harmless innocent silent people , they were as innocent as me who were sleepung in their village  camps  satusfued with life

Girl, we are aware of it  you hate cruelty but lands belong to the powerful, the weak have no right to life

 ... it was an ordinary two storey buiding of a house ,  the outside walls were draped in pink flowering climbers, the wall  profusely  civered with flowers and green foluage  stood by a blue gate , the gate lead to the stairs on the right , there was a  small space near the stairs  where potted flowering plants were arranged carefully  but looked sickly because they were kept dry 

By the neatly kept rows of potted plants  was a wooden door that opened into a  medium sized lounge , sofas and  dining table were  set amidst  untidy chaos 

The simple plain reason of untidiness was the domestic maid did not turn up to clean up the mess for two days

The door on the right was wide open , the room  had  built in cupboards , a single bed on a side with a dressing table next to it , a two seater sofa ,  some one dozen pictyres  pasted on the wall behind the dressing table , the room belonged to manti alias manu , pictures  showing him in his infancy to childhood to teenage to youth  , that implied  the latest  stage of his life was here in his youth

Her long hair were braided , face was bright and  broad , eyes were pools of  deep understanding , her upturned tiny nose was red with the intense cold , her  delicate chin carried a black mole  was a attraction , unaware of her beauty sge was engrissed in her domestic chires

Tamochin finally asked his host who is she

Respected Khan   she is bornai my daughter

 ....tolerating harrassment is supporting the tirmentor

Silence is acceptance

During   the era of yore the chinese courts  allowed  nomadic tribes to  inhabit their lands, though these tribes main livelihood was robbery  and   other petty crimes, every tribe owned a separste area ,  their life depended entirely on their  beasts , they rode them everywhere , consumed their milk and meat , from the dead beasts ropes from their hair were braided  for tents and  other uses, from their dead skins leather garments were made, shoes and   wraps , bones were  made into  tools and weapons , the fat of the beast was used as a body massage to give them energy 

Milk was preserved fermented  in leather bags  for later use for children  as tonic , trade was centered around the beasts and all the fights for domain and dominance  were woven around them

 ...i dont understand  sakina why for farhat you are looking for a suitable match outside your house when the real  groom is present in the family clan , having already what you want and searching elsewhere for it is truly stupid

Nasrin had a fertile imaginative  active mind that produced suggestions with examples for others whether they needed or not was absolutely another matter

Sitting beside sakina her sister in law she quickly explained her practical point of view

What do you mean by looking for a match here and there, when girls become marriageable one has to ask others around to find someone  suitably decent match  and who is this hidden treasure you speak of,  sakina was not sharp and aggressive like her elder sister in law, their husbands were brothers, she was rather meek and simple , therefore she had to  be  explained in detail the simple plain thing also 

Farhat  her daughter was  getting over age  sakina was stressed and worried , she became frantic  hunter  for a groom for her daughter by speaking to everyone she met to find a groom
