jab wo miley-

-she  looked  at  the  card  she  held  in her  hands, it  was  a  golden  card  thick  and  beautiful  red  and  yellow  flowers  on it  were  so  attractive,  the  card  was  fragrant  , inhaling  a  long  deep  breath of  it  she  kept  it  on the  the  pile  of  other  cards  on her  bed,  what  surprised  her  was  all  the  cards  outdid  each  other, the  flowers  on each  and  every  card  was  different  in colour  design  and never  repeated , had  he  been to  some  magical  garden where  such  flowers  grew, she  had  never  seen  such  pretty  flowers  anywhere, but  accepting  them  without  aswering  any  must  have  kept  him going  , now  no  space  was  left  in her  room to  keep  them , soon she  would have  to  squeeze herself  or  find  moving  out  of  her  own room for  the mountain of glorious  cards  , some  hand  painted, but  her  silence  was  taken  as positive  or  why  would  someone  keep  on sending  her  cards, now  she  decided  was  time  to  reply 

zindgi be rang nahi-

-life  is  a  gift  of  nature  , it  begins  with  life  and  creation of  the  entire  universe in its  wholeness,  it  is  not  aimless because  life  is  meaningful , the  purpose  of  life  is  to  earn  it  like  a living  , joy  is  its  goal,  life  is  precious  because  it  is  the  fabric  of  woven breaths ,  it  should  be  treated  with  great  care  and  reverence  to  achieve  pure  joy  , never  wasting   any  valuable  moment  , choice  is  yours  what  colours  you  choose

from previous-

-aftab  asked  asad  if  he  had  really  spent  the  night  out  in the  lawn, of course  because  the  security  did  not  allow  him to  sit  in the  veranda  and  corridors  and  there  was  no  other  place  for  him, aftab said  he  was  really  a  nice  person,  asad  felt  so  ashamed  because  he  was  planning  to  withdraw  fifty lacs  instead  of  five  with  the  check  he  was  given from aftab"s  account

page 10-

-zahir  then pulled  out  some  big  money  out  of  his  pockets  handing  the  notes  to  asad  for  saving  their  friend , hesitant  asad  refused   , he  was  also  hurt  but  not  so  seriously, but  when nurin  opened  her  bag  to  add  more  sum    which  zahir  was  giving  as  gratitude  asad  became  even more  shy, but  then aftab  stopped  them all and  taking  out  his  check  book wrote  a  sum and  signed  it  , it  was  for  saving  him

 when aftab  emerged  from the  hotel  he  was  swaying  in all  direction dead  drunk, his  wife  was  holding  him to  support  him, arshad   saw  they  were  still not  gone  and  hanging  about , showing    his  concern  for  the  wife  who  was  at  least  twenty  years  younger  to  aftab  in his  fifties to  get  a  driver  for  the  car because  he  was  not  in the  right  state  for  driving  and  he  never  allowed  his  wife  to  drive  , claiming  he  had  forgotten his  cell phone  inside  on the  hotel  desk  he  turned  round  to  leave  them but  aftab sarcastically  laughed  if  he  had  already  forgotten his  phone  he  must  forget  it  forever  because  people  who  visited  such  expensive  hotels  had  no  values  and  no  morals  , it  will not  be  found  there    

gloria-

-deringo  had  hired  him two  years  ago  for  his  security reasons, deringo  was  a  wealthy  owner  of  a  chain of  restaurants  and  strip  clubs,  daily  earning   added  quickly  to  his  wealth  in addition to  his  drug  business, he  was  married  four  times, first  time  he  married  his  school  time  friend  who  bore  him three  children, she  was  divorced  for  he  wanted  to  marry  his  club dancer  , , who  stayed  for  five  years  with him to  get  a  divorce  , he  married  the  third  wife  who  also  within a  span of  five  years  was  divorced, gloria  was  his  current  wife  

from previous-

-it  is many  times  heard  that  in urdu  poetry  the  beloved  is  spoken  of  in third  person  masculine  gender  or plural , it  is  vague  yet  it  is  a  hint  that  is  used  only  for  the female  beloved  , one  poet  tried  to  express  it  by  changing  the  pronoun  from third  person to feminine
-you  is  always  with  me
-when she  is  not  there
-well it  sounds  not  so  deep and  rather  low in nature  to  urdu  lovers  degrading  the   status  of  the  beloved 
-you  are  always  with  me
-when someone  else  is  not  there
