...i never heard this story   in this way  ever before, filip s voice was louder than normal speaking voices

A bar member of the club sitting on a stool turned to look at the source of that loud voice , it was a fruendly argument of friends so he did not give it much importance  and cheerfully engrossed  himself in conversation with a sportsman  beside him 

As usual the weekend morning  drew more crowds of club members and golf players  the spaces quickly filled up leaving no space to squeeze in  more crowds

Club members had been present in the dining hall for quite some time , second rounds of drinks were circulating , they sat by the glass window watching at the  grounds outside clearly , some players were still there playing golf , both filips and mike had finished their golf  sessions early  that weekend morning and now sat there enjoying their drinks in the golf club bar  gossipping

... it was the first time ever in his professional life  that  his aim failed  had to hit the target, it was definitely not his fault, not his mistake  , it was good fortune of the target and considerable misfortune of his own  the trigger was squeezed here and the target bent with a sneeze   there. as a result the bullet was released  certainly accurately towards the target but the target remained absolutely unharmed and the bullet hit someone else

He was a sharp shooter, sniper  , professional killer  paid to eliminate anyone at a certain  ammount, he was perched on a  under construction site for past half hour aiming his sniper scope that had basically two functions to perform first to frame the target and second to  pin point the target, , today his simple task was to shoot a high profile politician down

..dear tanya someone has come, open the door, tanya was sunk deep in her pile of books her head lowered when she heard her ammi s voice 

Ammi please you open the door yourself i am studying  

Dear  daughter the stew will burn  otherwise i never disturb you while you study, meanwhile another knock on the door was heard, this time it was louder and stronger, as if the arrival  had totally lost his patience

Tanya wrapped her chaader around herself completely before dragging her feet into her slippers towards the door

She was a student  of b a  , her exams were close , college had freed them to prepare from home , she was seriously  studying day and night at home, she was good in all subjects except english which was  testing her comprehension

Education   from government  schools had left her weak in english,  besides  graduation level englush was quite   high in srandard  , it could kill anyone , she needed professional help a private tution at home preferably but family s financial condition did not allow it

 During a church service the donation pkate was circulated, the scot  placed one pound   , the priest was surprised and exclaimed one soul was saved from going to hell

The scot put one more pound on the  plate and asked if now two souls were saved from going to hell

The father confirmed   it was exactly so

The scot  explained there was no  need of the pounds on the plate any more and  picked up the pounds and  slipoed them into his own pocket

 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

...what all has happened

Chaudhary sahib if you are aware of the incident of madam being poisoned  then you should not be asking this  the investigator spoke sharply

Who are you he asked

Ask this question from gul zeb 

You are a weird person he glared 

Ruby  spoke challenging his glares everyone was flared up only he was in the dark

Perhaps he was ready to  ask more rounds of questions but  at that very moment noor came in , first rahel  got down  to usher rawa aside towards the haveli so the poor kid wont have to see the dead bodies lying there, gul zeb walked up to that spot , she then turned to the investigator  explaining she had called the police all that they could do now was just wait

sheri vohti..city wife

....anwar wedded a city girl and brought her home , what followed was a storm and commotion

She was not arrogant nor did she have any airs, not that  she prided in her beauty and intelligence because she was just ordinary, she did not treat her village in laws like dust nor did she order them around because she was a city creature, she did not spend the entire day lazing about in her bed not that she avoided helping  in the household chores but she was different , she was born and  brought up  in tge city and that made her completely unscceptable, she was invisible to the family

page 47

It was around eleven thurty at night  when she craved to gave a cup of hit refreshing tea and reached the kitchen to find all the foid was there untouched

From that day onwards  there was no talk between chachi and herself , first she thought of keeping the foid in the fridge  and make and take her tea to her room  but an idea hit her mind and sge headed towards chachi s room , before she could enter the room she heard her chachi sneezing and coughing , she turned right away from there

gazal ,,hashmat bhardwaj

... the light has come  for certain

Torch of knowledge is lit for certain

Someone is approaching heremy heart is resonating 

Do me a favor today

Show kindness to me 

Hurting others is a common trend

Arguments  specially  norm practice

One who succeeds  in this world

Surrounded he is with envy

Someone was there in the middle

Conversing was all remotely done

One ete  feels overwhelmed  

The other is flooded with emotions

Almighty is remembered since

Youth has wilted  and  life on threshold

My  beloved met me as if

We were long lost  life  enemies

She was a beautiful delicate    charming person, her nature seemed agitated disturbed and hyper eager excited

Likeable area 

What s wrog, what makes you so silent asked abdulrehman  from yusuf   a boy  walking by his side , both were sons of goid well off families

Not really silent, just thinking about something explained yusuf simply

What are you thinking about  abdulrehman was curious now

Pointing towards a boy walking along in the group he explained i am thinking about what has he done , this was a large suzed rather stronger than all briad shouldered their age boy

Right  abdulrehman reacted unhappily this was becoming his everyday routine

ek cup chai

....it was the month of december , in the begining the winter chill was slow and quiet not noticeable at all , the intensity was missing  but as the month  unrolled so did the winter, the sun hardly showed up,  always  the dark grey sky  looked gloomy

For the past four days waiting for the sun to appear sabiha did not   plug in her washinb machine  but today seeing there was no change in the outside grey sky she   rebeled and defied the rude weather and decided to use her washing machine, doing the regular household laundry felt a  harsh punishment in this bad weather, she looked at the mountain of dirty laundry  as if it was  a prifessional  task
