....sheru,  spoke wasi , i have lost my new pair of shoes, , their merry laughter escaped from their mouths , perhaps it was an episode of the stolen shoes , intense fear of ammi jan.  settled on  him bringing hot tears to his eyes
Next stop was at the boat swing 
Depositing the money they. All  climbed up to settled themselves on the wooden planks , they were unstoppable at their mischief  making , a woman sat near by , wasi s elbow hit her bloated stomach  , the expectant mother  gave him two hot slaps on his face,  screaming are you blind  cant you see i am expecting , it was quite embarrassing scene realised wasi
So what  me too , i too have a stomach to take care of 
She looked  at him with surprise  
 Meantime the swing had started  , the excited noise erupted from the criwd, as the speed incread, increased the volume and  crazy shrieks  drowning the screams if this group of boys , wasi dug his teeth in the expecting woman s arm, whose shrieks rose  drowning his  and theirs were sunk together in the rising cresendo , finally their heads began spinning and the swing was stopped mid air, no refund , and extra payment to the victim woman they got down  , he was still walking bare feet , fear of ammi jan  doubled his troubles,  sheru declared he would help and procurred folded pair of  thin handnade pair of leather  provincial shies out of his pocket , he had been hiding them all this time, 
They reached nanu s boundary wall scared to death murmuring is there somebody there
Nobody there, because somebody is here came the angry vouce if nanu from behind the wall

phir uss rah guzrein

...november 21  2005
Time  dusk rapudly descending darkness
To my dear friend adi
I am  constantly praying  life  may shower  on  you  all the wonderful  blessings  from all sides  and you stay forever carefree   happy  as i left you  when i died, i write this letter  addressing only you instead of others  because several uncounted years have passed  but i still remember quite clearly it was only you who always was interested in being the head  of  us all 
You are not jyst my brother  but more than that  like a mother   affectionate and sincere in your love fir me , you were ever ready to protect me and overly cautiious  , this courage to protect  comes naturally to mothers , we were four of us adi, now also we are four of us , because i am certainly present amidst you

...what
I got the job
Really, where
Women s university, temporary but will become regular, administration side sports coordinator , just come back from going through the mail , womens university what on earth is that, during the mughal era womens mina bazar was popular , where entry for men was not allowed, its so laughable 
Mumma what is your point instead of being happy you seem to be against it, 
Where is this university its not famous like mina bazar 
Near nahida khalas house
Then nira realised the university was located in a posh area and massive indeed 
Do like this,  you stay with nahida because its a long way from here
, you will save three hours commuting

khushrang hua manzar

....nahida s nand s marriage was fixed, sitting at the breafast table  shared nairo bi, her daughter minal doing justice with her food got up mumbling
As if  nobody cares about mushaim  and look they are busy  eating their food, 
Right, mushaim did not complete her  m s c  but you are free for past three months  commented nairo bi as if she was one of their wicked neighbour not the mother , maya  looked surprised her mouth agape  then spoke softly may god  bless all my children , 
Maya was an old veteran lady  sharing one bedroom attached bathroom set  with nairo bi , nairo bi a bank officer found  maya s presence very convenient and supporting though they had different personal   opinions   about matters in life
Nairo bi  had exploded her news highlighting it but felt it was becoming one of the inner page small print line  so she glared at maya for her inappropriate reactions , maya was dressed in light green sari  and grass green cardigan a shawl wrapoed around she was lost in happy thoughts of her own 
That crazy old woman gets ready every morning early  as if she has to catch a train , cant she just forget her officer life is over  she is  retired  ,  nairo bi bitter pressed her lips tight but the words escaped from them out falling out one by one clear enough

...today it was ali s sister s son s  wedding day, ali was surprised siema was not asking to get her a new outfit, nor did she pick up small irritating  arguments nor was she  showing any signs if bruised feelings , he returned in the evening to find  siema s sari she had wore once on his  brother s function , he was taken aback , how was this possible, it was even more surprising , siema entered the room drying her wet hair  smiled at him saying quickly get ready dear or at the last moment you become so dramatically confused , thinking about her good mood he went in for a shower , he emerged to find her humming to herself  almost ready and putting on her jewellery, her fluffy hair blow dried   looked very nice on her, , she observed his appreciation and asked him cheekily to quickly get ready  my emperor, 
They reached the marriage hall where all the sisters were gathered and noticed siema make her entry in the once before worn sari, quick to be sarcastic a comment cut the air if this was not the same sari she wore for the brother s function
Ali dreaded  this was the moment  which will spoil the whole show
But siema turned never dropping her self composure of course sisters it is tge same but how can i ever refuse to obey the commands of my emperor who wishes to see ne in some particular outfit, ali wanted me to appear like this and gave a pure flirtatious smile of a soulmate to him who smiled back  , the guests suddenly became spellbound their sarcasm shattered to pieces with their thorough wickedness replaced with envy

km khrch balanashin

... the only leisurely   passtime her in laws have is partying,  whether to attend or not  its a nuisance mostly, what to wear on every different occasion is another
Siema was standing with her head inside her cupboard of clothes  worrying  about what should she be wearing , pulling out dresses and piling them up on her bed, when her dear husband ali saw his beloved wife s  heated appearance  he  like always  slipped out of the room unnoticed, not getting an answer siema turned her head to find  her husband missing, it rapidly doubled her building annoyance and  anger  , she noisily banged the doors of the cabinet shut and collapsed on the floor like a defeated player

...she tried a little harder and  got reconnected , conversation  was restored and  restarted from the same point where it had  broken off , the moment aman s voice  was heard he was wasting himself and what else was she doing with her life, not accepting to move on rejecting all allainces , even  discarded her first  cousin saifallah  her chacha s son , who was a great catch and  keenly soughtafter by all the young girls , her  refusal turned him crazy, he finds it unbelievable that his proposal was rejected, he is definitely the most handsome youth in the clan , well off and sound financial background , can you tell me whats wrong

sabab aur hausla

....each and every person who comes across into your life comes with a purpose , from some you learn the true meaning of love and care, from some  you learn how to get along with others , some teach you lessons on becoming patient , some  teach you to dream big dreams ,some encourage you to muster more courage and face life problems fearlessly , i personally believe every person you meet has a role to play in your life 
.
Maulvi teacges you to fear gid
Sufi teacges you you are beloved if god

Real dirt is inside corrupting your tgoughtstream

...it was fifteenth of june, the country was  suffering from intense summer heat, but it felt a piece of paradise on the river kanhar, the sky covered tightening it with clouds , soon enough the sun disappeared completely amidst the overcasting cloudy sky, every soul was refilled with renewed energy as the air cooled down 
Zartaj  lifted her arms  and stretcged them out on her second floor room in the balcony  and shut her eyes , the winds were fragrant  coming through the forest of flowrrs , she inhaked   seeping in the divine  air 
Zartaj was an ordinary looking woman with common dark complexion , her height was good, what added color to her persona was her honey coloured eyes and hair , her whole family agreed she took these two honey coloured  features from her father azim ali the rest of herself was exact carbon copy of her mother

pardes

....it was a small folded many times iver piece of paper  clutched in her fust and that thing had started to hurt her, she  unfolded it to find a number on it , it was not really possible to keep that helpless piece of paper with her forever , having it  was giving her hooe, its presence was  full of promises  of staying alive , it was ger lifeline support , , that phone number was her only  chance to survival , one day someone will arrive, ring up amma,  and then amma will free her , , she embraced the phone number and wept , overwhelming emotions sweot diwn her as she held on to the piece of folded paper  with all her leftover strength
That piece of paper was narrating untold stories of past two years , of her endless loneliness

bharosa

..amma , tea container is emoty,  get more tea leaves, the moment hamida beghum had stepped into the kitchen elder bahu had informed her in complaining mode, holding the empty container she approached her mother in law
Gosh, what are you saying, this month three tea packets were  included in the groceries , month is not over and all the tea packets are finished, both of  you  have  nothing better to do than drink tea all the time, seeing the empty tea box hamida beghum flared up quickly
Amma , you are speaking as if  only we two bahus drink tea ,  by the grace of god ours is a large wholesome joint family, elders and youngers both are fond of having tea frequently,  but the blame is shifted only on us women , banging the empty box back on the shelf  she moaned 
It was the senior woman s experienced  trick if anything went wrong  against her wishes she shifted the weight of  all the blame on her bahus accusing them for doing it wrong
All right then, if we are so much problem we give up drinking tea, what else has this household to offer us except a simple cup of tea , that  pleasure also we give up for your sake

meri eid mubarak kr de

....wait a minute fauz , his steps moving towards the stairs were stopped by the voice  command of his bhabhi, as his daily routine  he was ready to leave for work  in his estate agency  when he was asked to stop , fauz please hand this rent to hurin  , she must be on her way to work too, , shagufta bhabhi  held out the envelop with the ammount inside , he looked  up at her in surprise
You still had not deposited your rent , though we had my brother and me  given ours to you on time
Its so dufficult fauz  , i am always kept busy , as you know just ten days ago  sweet eid was celebrated ,  women  from the committee   did not send their money , i was forced to use the money you had deposited to pay khala who lives opposite  to complete the committee , after that gradual inflow of money  enabled me to save slowly to rebuild the rent money

gazal by kaniz zohar sayad

..night before the dawn of separation is yet to come
Chill air starless night without the moon is yet to come
.
My heart my soul all are sold out
But talent of showering life on others yet is there
.
Hopelessly in vain i try to forget him
Something of his essence of togetherness is yet in me
.
Whole world was seen  with deepest interest
A corner  in my heart is yet to be seen
.
.seeing him on the top of the world kaniz 
Presence of someone s prayers is truly felt

mana umr wahi

...he had just drove past in his vehicle this way, sun was shining bright on the black gate ,  the tyres  had risen a cloud of dust  visible still , when he was leaving  her heart  desparately wanted to stop him , but she could not  she would not , after all what right did she have to stop him , unaware a commotion  was already made  her emotions were stirred, he  had  crushed all her dreams settled on her eyes  like a victorious ruthless invader, she like always unsuccessfully tried to pat her stormy feelings  back to slumber  in the depths of her heart only she knew exactly where
But the winds teased her they were playing mischief  uncaring of her feelings ready to play with her naughtily loosening her tresses  caressing her face  and she discovered his  invisible presence  in the winds touching her

kinara

..manwar held a letter from appa in his hands, it was not her first letter,, in three months all three sisters  had sent several letters to him , its time to return to your native land
Having read the letter he was quite surprised, what to do next , he had his two children with him who were born and brought up away from hindostan  in a foreign land  their lifestyle was completely different from their relatives back home, after all how will these children adapt themselves to new culture  , they were absolutely modern and free  of any inhibitions open minded , grown up in the modern world without any reservations and no restrictions of tradtions to stop them , no boundaries were ever set for them anywhere 
His wife got ready early everyday to drive off to work, after that domestic maid reacged their place to help children to get ready for school, school van punctyally picked them up, the maid  was responsible to manage the household chores and served him his breakfast before leaving  followed by him leaving for his work 
Children would come home after school to eat maggyfor lunch or burger or pizza  and lock themselves up in their rooms

gazal by. wasim bareli

....skies so high shows arrogance
Forgets its visibke only from below
.
Time is just time unstoppable as ever
Simply slips through fingers invisible

.
Whoever comes entertains and performs
Left thirstying for more and more
.
.ignorance is not  left  to remain silent
Speak up to resolve  a conclusion
.
.my feet are not destined to
 cross your path  leading to your abode
.
.noises rose pouring into the ears
Now it is clearly visible
.
.only if you wish you may stop me
Or what is it to your world who i am

sb sitarey tum rkh lo

...my daughter cant be immoral
Exploded raunaq jahan s voice, tonight was going to prove impossible for all , and those fuve characters had frozen like theater  
Prifessir sahib  s rest was not disturbed  a bit , though raunaq jagan was still  hyper  , hiccups shaking her  , her wailing taking high notes ,  outside glass windows  all the stars sewn in the sheet of the ethreal sky were spread out 
Dont  dump so much filthy accusations on my daughter  for heaven s saje , sge folded her gands  humbly , standing near by was doctor uhala who swiftly discivered the condition of the mother, she quickly reacged her side, dont you wirry , everything will be finestay xalm and rekax please
Raunaq lifted ger etes, looked carefully at her daughter tgen turned to stare at the professor who was quite comfortable sitting there rather like a stupid man

..shanya, what are you saying, they sat in a restaurant , there was not much rush yet it wss crowded , what do you think you can talk wasim into getting married to you, natasha tried to turn off the speaker  but she was stopped by wasim 
She did not care what the world believed , today was the day truth must be exposed 
You cant turn wasim against us  by sweet talk
Shanya what makes you speak like this  , we are engaged to get married 
There will be no marriage , shanya cut her in between sharply , you are not at all worthy of becoming my bhabhi, wasim s face turned red
Wasim loves me and i love him too , you cant  interfere in our life, natasha bent forward to clutch wasim by his hand 
He loves arram too so what
Wasim s eyes were burning now
She could not settle in his life nor will you threatened shanya
