Karachi's past
Letters Were Not A Model Of Progress
The Surge Of Progress Stomped All Over
I recollect that Father used to thump gently prior to going into the house. There would have been a drapery on the entryway, that too with the possibility of not being hidden. There is no doubt of burglary. Incidentally, on the off chance that the hoodlums came, what might they take? After relocation, the greatest capital was recollections which can never be taken.
Father would stop for a couple of seconds subsequent to digging and afterward go into the house. It used to be the method of grown-ups back then. At the point when the Father came, some would welcome him and some would agree that decorum. Father welcomes Grandma. From that point forward, no Letter came posing the principal inquiry. I used to be exceptionally shocked that where do Letters come ordinary, why practices Father request Letters regularly, then I understood that this was the way of life of our home.
On the day when the Letter would come, Father would peruse the Letter following putting on something else. Back then, the motivation behind sending a Letter was not simply to make proper acquaintance.
Civilization was found old letters. |
It was a chance to be together in torment. Our whole Family and neighborhood assembled. Everybody was coming to deal with my Mother and afterward Fatiha ( فاتحہ ) and so on was given similarly as my Grandma used to do at our place. Simply think, this was on the data of a Letter.
On the off chance that there was insight about satisfaction in the Letter, his bliss would be on the countenances. On the off chance that it was impractical to go to India, the ladies would have cried bittersweet tears euphoria and went to the Marriage's Functions ( برات ولیمہ ) inseparably and afterward went to work. To go to another city, the ladies of the house are quick to request that you go. They were more attached to going via train than marriage. When we arrived at the station to go to a wedding, one of our darlings who was sitting in the train without precedent for her life, saw the red shirts of the young ladies and asked our Auntie:
O Sister by marriage, where are such countless individuals going wearing red garments? Auntie said essentially that they are detestable and she concurred. They were basic individuals, straightforward response and basic yes.Presently, in the event that we needed to compose a Letter, we would have dealt with keeping up with the position and relationship. Growing up, when I watched an old highly contrasting film, I understood that this is what we used to do while composing Letters. Time is taken to compose a Letter. It isn't written in a way. The composing isn't cut. Khumle ( خملے ) was made as a main priority prior to composing. Then the would be moved to Seena Qartas ( سینہ قرطاس ).
We should go to a Letter that was written in that period, in which the remembrance of the positions and the topic were kept short and brief and pointless things were kept away from. The Spouse is likewise perusing in a soft tone alongside composing broadly. The Spouse is sitting with him. The Letter is being kept in touch with the Father by marriage,
Spouse: Dear, Qibla Jawed Sahib ( محترم قبلہ جاوید صاحب )
Assalam-O-Alaikum ( السلام علیکم )
Spouse: Would you say you are discussing your marriage the present moment, which made Father's name so huge? Not bootlicking by any stretch of the imagination, it will disappear.
Spouse: My Father by marriage. To that end it is regarded
Spouse: Go as you wish.
Spouse: I accepted your Letter and it involves fulfillment that you and your Family are getting along admirably. On account of Allahﷻ, everything is great here. Your Letter was gotten two days prior. The aim was to compose an answer Letter and send it the following day, however it was unrealistic because of office commitment. I earnestly apologize.
Spouse: What is the need to make sense of two days?
Spouse: I have placed the present date at the outset. Qibla ( قبلہ ) realizes that I don't defer in replying. Subsequently, explanation is important.
Mother: Where is it composed that what to share with him?
Father: What Qibla ( قبلہ ) has inquired. This much reference in the Letter is sufficient. I'm composing a Letter. There is no story. Be that as it may, the Letter ought to be succinct and brief.
Spouse: It is beyond the realm of possibilities to expect to contact the concerned sir in such manner to which your Letter has drawn consideration. Their visit is a good ways off of 6 miles from my place of home. The work is to visit the individual's home on a vacation and pay attention to your message and know about their reaction.
Spouse: All things considered, you are finished. Presently inquire as to whether Rukhsana had a child. Is it a baby boy or a baby girl? The first is only one and a half years old. How could you figure out how to raise two kids together early in life? Nihalche ( نہالچے ) should get going insane. What will one do alone? Raise the youngsters or deal with the spouse. Allah'sﷻ wrath is the child of step aunt and he doesn't care the slightest bit. His better half generally gone to his administration. He would have offered a reprieve some place.
Spouse: I need to realize that the birth that was normal has occurred. Mother and kid are getting along admirably. Child or little girl? The primary child and after this multiplication, Sister In Law ( سالی صاحبہ ) will be extremely occupied. Did hum zulf ( ہم زُلف ) likewise feel the hecticness and there was some decrease in Spouse favors with respect to sister in law?
Spouse: Yes. are ! What I said and your message. Is the Letter going to Shahi Royal residence? She expressed nothing to her better half. Here as well, the diminishing in Spouse favors of Sister In Law ( سالی صاحبہ ) was sewed. He is a ruler who didn't make reference to his name.
Spouse: As per me, this falls under the classification of conniving. Since the recipient is Sister In Law ( سالی صاحبہ ), the recipient will continue as before.
Spouse: What conniving occurred? You have not heard the narratives of his shock. In the event that there is a lot of salt in the food, salt begins to be sprinkled on the injuries.
Spouse: This isn't my way of talking. In the event that you imagine that the composing isn't as per the quality and mind-set, then, at that point, the foolish lines are composed underneath.
Spouse: No, what I have composed is sufficient. On the off chance that you say something, I will compose something.
Spouse: Qibla ( قبلہ ), presently I will request authorization and I will illuminate you very soon when I find a solution from him. Harmony arrive
Your order
The understudy asks. Salim
Presently these Letters are neither composed nor perused. In the hurrying around of improvement, the Letter has fallen some place on the ground and it has been stomped on under numerous feet that now finding even its traces is troublesome. It is our shortcoming that the Letter has been isolated from us. The world has become so quick that everything is on portable. Those fingers that used to hold a pen and compose with writing and habits. Presently they type a message in minutes on the keypad of the cell phone and convey the message that too in Roman URDU. Minutes removed the sentiment of hundreds of years of Letter composing. There could be at this point not those words loaded up with the fragrance of reception, love and regard, nor to peruse them unexpectedly after a condition of stalling.
