....preparations of eid of sacrifice had begun , air was filled with roasting meat aroma ,  streets were impatiently waiting for  their  turn to relish , condition of jamil was  no different, he was eighteen but looked  twelve , he was growing beard to look more mature than his frail  appearance, his family profession was  to clean dirt, but he chose to educate himself, his ancestors were honest and hardworking , his second year exams were just over when dilawar met with an accident leaving him incapable of work,  therefore jamil was seen cleaning up the streets, around helplessly , tge burden was shifted on hus weak shoulders

Abbu ji, why dont you apply for leave, he asked  dilawar

Its suicidal for our financial condition explained abbu ji  to his  inexperienced but educated son practically, we wait eagerly for festive eids in the hope of getting more, making more,  having more

....some days passed happily, but then her son became quite  aloof and uncommunicative , silent and stayed unresponsive , his job kept him otherwise away, , even huma s leave was over, mother had retired andwas obliged to stay home , huma started going back to the college, she started showing her true nature and colours , , she would wake only fifteen minutes earlier to leaving for college, put on layers of heavy nakeup, dressed up in heavy designers , left without pleasantries, after college visited her maternal parents and returned after dusk, these were of course early days after marriage so mother ignored her behaviour completely but after tgree months of such routine it was time to speak up her mind

Dear, try to give some time to this household too, let us know the taste of your cooking, let us get familiar and close to each other in several domestic ways

..what awesome crazy games life plays with us, its a normal common statement repeated by everyone, what games does life play, its so easy to shift all  the blame on life for all the mistakes we do ourselves to damage us, all the miscalculations  , arthmetic gone wrong is dumped quickly on lifes shoulders,  life is not a play at all , life is a challenge a test,  this test of life is so severe any carelessness any unwilling move every cheating and  wrong doing is watched directly by the supreme almighty, nothing goes unseen , , each mistake has its own consequences and punishments  no second chances no chances for rectifications , no life refunds merely miserable life left with pained regrets and tears  what if life is plainly defined as honest work

....yura reached the office to meet annie to find him sunk into deep layers of files 

How come you lost your way into my office today smiled annie curiously

I was just crossing this area  so thought of visiting you as well  dragging a chair yura answered as he sat down

Had i not known you i would have believed that spoke annie meaningfully glancing back at him, tell me the real thing

It is said the horrible satan has two attributes to control others , his followers use that method of carrot and stick to maintain their control on others, its like using carrot  to entice  or threatening others with stick  for complete surrender , greed and fear are basic survival  instincts people have that satan as predator and his ruthless followers practise on innocent preys

...we are always surrounded with nature  in its real form,  days and nights in rotation , bright sun shines , colourful floating clouds are revealed  , flying birds in the sky , lush  green growing fields, winds blowing in summer and winter , this all remains the same, its our inner climate of emotional moods that is forever changing , when we are disappointed the world is lost , a feeling of hopelessness fills up our life with miseries, everything feels is actively going against us, when unhappy everything feels is saturated with sorrow outside, , hapoy mind feels the world is showering happiness,

...he glanced at tge dashboard, tge time showed seven   nearing dusk , he was driving through  new mexico  province , he stopped at a nearby  truck spot in the highway , he saw him sitting there on a bench 

It was july  summer evening , he had been driving for nine long hours , he had covered more than eight hundred kilometers, his plans included quick dinner followed by driving three hundred more kilometers on the road , to stay leftover   night at a motel on the way 

The first important thing was  his burn side chemicals  job keeping him going, second main point was karin  who was impatiently waiting fir him in los angeles, they had not seen each other for oast two weeks , he was madly in love with her , he hooed it was mutual feeling  though she spoke  not so frankly on the phone about her feelings for him

It was not that she did not love him , it was just that she was rather reserved  about articulating her love very openly

....amma was miserable crying over  her unfortunate circumstances,  everytime she tried to reach out towards almighty some type of obstacle fell between her  path preventing her from  making it to her desirable goal , she was moaning  visibly and audibly  before others , her misfortune  relentlessly stopped her from  joining her almighty, she was cursed sinner , her pleadings were  gone unheard in her daily prayers, dear almighty , do something  to help me out she wailed  emotionally overwhelmed

Amma now what has happened lately to make you so theatrical , what makes you so accuse your own life , what obstacle is preventing you , asked daughter manza handing  amma a glass of water and then  sitting by her side warmly

....crispy childhood hidden in arms

Little boats  move in  emotional heart

Some glowing worms  fly around

In my dried monsoon  of eyes

Desires of blossoms  keep me going

Gathered are rocks and pebbles in my arms

Bloom rose like  children  when

Smiles natural sunshine in my yard

Whoat  did know nisar would come

Paper flowers gathered in my arms

...hina had crossed the threshold of youth and the world stirred into action, ,  she was born beautiful and  youth  carved her perfectly , as a toddler she fondled by everyone , her cute apple red cgeeks were  pinched and kissed  , everyone liked the adorable kid and liked to cuddle her 

Her family naturally  adored her and the whole village  loved her for her angelic looks and amiable nature

She was birn to a poor village farmer , but she was raised  like a princess , she was loving and  generous, she had one more sister  but nit as much pretty , she also was quite attached to hina , shiwered with so much love hina  became arrogant and self centered, she did not respind to her sisters love fir her nor did she respect her feelings  at all , hina did not help in the fields nor at home  , mother did not care of her behaviour , father had other things to do

When hina crissed the threshold of youth from childhood  many  young lads list their  hearts , her height  , lovely eyes , shapely figure  strawberry cream compkexion all  were great attractions

Hi dad

Father walked up to him to stand near him 

What gas happened to haris  he asked hasan directly 

Haris wanted to escape by thinking if saying who is haris  but that would have stretched his fake too far, instead he pretended innocence, what do you mean , he false innocence appeared so real, has something gone wrong

I  met him in dubai , he did not look good, he also gas given his job up from the enterprises , ahmed karim s eyes were watcged him thoughtfully

He lives in dubai, pressing a button online  spoke hasan  and you went all the way to dubai just to see him

ek dost ke liye

...this journey of life

This relationship with you

If you dont come along 

How will i  get along

The limits of my thoughts

Incredible it may be

Not a single moment without you 

Is bearable to pass

You are not with me

When are you not with me

In the enclosure of memories

In lands of dreams

Depths of my deepest thoughts layered

In my eyes 

In my heart soul and body

In all my secret desires

During darknesses at night

During illuminations bright

Yes its only you

All around if

You are not with me

In all my prayers its you

Just one wish of you

Beyond this wish nothing exists

How much i love you

You have no idea

my opinion

: Getting attention

Pretty bold woman  whatever age ,single too bad for men

 And for women who like those men

 Because single women are a threat 

 Such men take advantage  of being men These men are not above  parents or family
