And the pot ( pateela ) was stolen

 There was a big family. The room that came to my part endured fifteen years of loneliness.

Youth spent most of the time out of the country and if at home in the city.

The longest period of my love in this room was ...

Which, of course, made the video an overnight sensation.

Still I was married ...

Hugging and crying on long winter nights would have lessened the pain, but the idea of ​​taking a cold bath would make you cry again.

The sect Begum belonged to considered love so filthy that the most suitable place for her could be the bathroom.

To them, delay in bathing is a sin. Angels do not come until the place is completely cleared.

At first I objected that the angels were the Punjab police. But when Clinton was caught, I was convinced.

The problem was that there was only one bathroom in our house, which was always busy like a lorry depot. Bathing was a distant thing, you couldn't even sit there for five minutes and think.

So come up with ideas, and to see them flush it out, it's really fun.

The bathroom was the only secret to the thriller and romance stories of thirty people.

They knew each other's situation.

And kept embarrassing Gul from time to time.

In the third month of marriage, Begum began to say

"What a bad thing. All kinds of noises come from the next room."

I remained silent. In the fourth month, she also became silent. Thus, a year and a half passed.

A small stove was added to the room to protect the first child from the cold.

Need is the mother of invention. I stole her mother's dowry and hid it under the bed.

During the day he would pour a jug of water into it and at night he would bathe in a mug of hot water.

Nalka is watching all this quietly ...

The theft of the pot could not be hidden from the mother.

At half past one in the night, the culprit, Patel, was caught with hot water.

Mother laughed out loud

"Father, you will carry the pot all your life now."

The children grew from one to four.

But the house became empty. The elder and younger brothers built separate houses. The size of their bathrooms was in accordance with the Shariah requirements.

There were separate taps for hot and cold water.

Even the Muslims seemed to take a shower and sometimes they did not even like to take a bath.

I couldn't install a geyser due to my artistic laziness. The house changed. The fate of the pot didn't change.

The children grew up. In winter, Patila stayed on the stove all day. Her night shift was almost over.

Begum Omar had become liberal as well. The angels who used to stand on the edge of the bed and give curses also left their duties.

After breaking my arm, the doctor forbade me to lift any kind of weight, so how could I lift the cauldron ...?

Patel was now found in the corners of the caves.

When he came home last evening, his wife cried

"The pot was stolen"

"So what's the point of crying in it?" I reassured her

"He was not thin, Saleem!"

It was a sign of my mother-in-law. She and I had a beautiful memory of her. My mother used to say that my father, who never drank tea and picked up a cup, used to carry a cauldron in the middle of the night.

English & Urdu Literature in form Criticism , Poetry, Blank Verses

 

There is a debate in English literature as to whether poetry has been killed by the blank verse or by the old style of criticism or by the new style of criticism.

The views of all three factions are strong. But the knowledge of today's reader has become much more diverse than that of the readers of old. That is why new accessories and perspectives are needed to look at new poetry. This is not a matter of my individual taste. The logical conclusion is that Urdu poetry needs a new critique!

Much of English poetry, and what is technically known, consists of material trained and published by universities. What was once called the murder of English poetry is now generally known as modern poetry. It comes out of weight and sea and also comes out of harmony. Which Urdu poetry has given the name of prose in English imitation. However, the general method of reading the English blank verse was made dramatic, while in Urdu it is not read with a dramatic impression. Even the "prose poet" himself is not able to read his attempt with a dramatic impression. Which is surprising. Because some fiction writers have been reading their fictions dramatically like Sultan Jameel ... Asif Farkhi etc!

But the funny thing is that the poets who wrote English poetry before the age of twenty had no university education.

In the year 45 and 46, symbolic poetry appeared in the name of postmodernism.

And poetry

magism, symbolism, surrealism, dadaism, minimalism,

 I was hidden.

For example, let's look at how the changes took place before and after.

Ezra Pound (1885-1972): "'We ought I think, to say in civil terms: you be damned' (Palmerston to Russell, re / Chas H. Adams)"

We want to wrap up in words and curse.

Hilda Doolittle, pen name H.D. (1886-1961): "In me (the worm) clearly / is no righteousness"

For the first time, Hilda made the same claims in poetry as the male poets used to do in their poetry.

E.E. Cummings (1894-1962),:

 “While in the battered /

 bodies the odd unlovely /

 souls struggle slowly and writhe /

like caught. brave: flies ”

After the historical consolation, the First World War had left a deep impression on poetry and prose. ۔

Poets in nineteenth-century literature include Warlin and Whitman, and Oscar Wilde's plays, and Mark Twain and Robert Lewis.

The effects that he created during and after World War II changed into the form of war poets. Such poets were called war poets, including Rupert Brooke, Kipling, Wilford Owen, Hillier Blake. Included ...

McRae, a Canadian poet ... And there was the engineer and the doctor and the mogul ... he died of pneumonia on the battlefield ... one of his poems, In Flander's Fileds

It became very popular and with the help of this poem, funds were collected during or after the wars.

This parable was meant to prove that living poetry absorbs and reflects the changes of the times in any culture. It is impossible for a society to have more sexual abuse of girls and boys and Their sexual harassment became the headline of the daily newspaper and the poet who is a reflection of the delicate emotions of the time should compile the pages with his imaginary poetry without being influenced by this scenario ... which is the awakening of traditional poetry. Look at some poets. Those who do not write at all about the changes and joys and sorrows of the times but compose their poetry in the limited shell of their caste. I asked such a poet if my brother is sitting in Canada. Not a job for your profession. You are delivering pizza and how do you do poetry of peacock dancing in the forest when domestic affairs are not in your power. So he said I have done poetry in modern times ... I wrote a ghazal which The line is ... the corpse will not emerge ...

Since I am fully acquainted with the living conditions of that poet, I can take a psychological and incidental look at his poetry, and in order to understand the pain of wars in the poetry of the poet according to the above parable, his personal life is his general. If his poetry cannot be fully understood without knowing the family and regional situation, then obviously the criticism will not be correct.

In Urdu? In Ghalib's poetry, in Mir's poetry, the turbulent city is definitely seen in some places, but it is very expensive compared to English poetry.

If Urdu poets had written elegies on real and present life instead of religious eulogies, Urdu would have become a powerful language but Urdu is still a spoken language and so far there are no names of thousands of modern things in Urdu. Some improvement could have come from the establishment of Pakistan but it too fell prey to prejudice against Hindi, Punjabi, Balochi, Seraiki, Sindhi and Arabic was forcibly imposed where Persian techniques were not possible but the right of local languages ​​was killed. Due to which more powerful modern poets tried to defeat the language, which was not successful because instead of using it on a daily basis, they consciously tried to formulate new words which are one of the most common Is tantamount to sin.

The above discussion was meant to show that in order to criticize a poem, unlike the traditional critique, it is very important to know the life, place and environment of the poet.

If I write that ...

The vampire who said he was you /

 And drink my blood for a year. ”

And if I translate it into Urdu ...

The blood-drinking plague said, "He ... you ..."

And he drank my blood for a year ...

Have you ever read these lines: Wordsworth, William Blake, Cates, Yates, Rumi, Iqbal, Ghalib, Mir, Ezra Pound, Faiz, Faraz? Iqbal Sajid cannot be attributed to Shakib Jalali. If you can, there are only two names ... And that Sarah Shagufta of Urdu or Sylvia Plath of English!

Now the question is how do you attribute these lines to these two poets? What is the angle of view that helped them reach them?

First of all, the style of both poets. Both poets made their own metaphors unlike traditional poetry and did not hesitate to use them. The statement not to hesitate is very important here. Because Urdu poets are especially afraid of trying to rebel against tradition. They are afraid of the objections of other contemporary poets and traditional critics, so the process of killing flies continues and the result is this. There are so many poems in the poetry of the last forty years about which it can be easily said that these poems are not the style of any one but it seems that all of them are writing poetry of the same style and diction together.

Principle of Socrates 'school

        There was only one principle of Socrates 'school, and that was tolerance - these people listened to each other's thoughts with patience, they did not quarrel with each other even on the biggest differences - 

                            the principle of Socrates' school was that 

        A student who spoke too loudly or abused or threatened another or attempted a physical fight was immediately expelled from the classroom. 

            Socrates said that tolerance is the spirit of society, when tolerance decreases in society, dialogue decreases and when dialogue decreases, terror increases in society. 

            He said that differences are the work of educated people, arguments and logic are the work of educated people, as long as this art remains with educated scholars and noble people, society develops; but when dialogue or disagreement falls into the hands of ignorant people, then Society falls prey to anarchy. 

        He used to say: "And the world cannot be a world unless there is tolerance in it, unless there is a difference between hand and word!"

A Turkish Play Ertugrul Ghazi in Pakistan

Wrapped in tribal conspiracies, bloodshed, carnage and religious rhetoric, Turkey's drama series is constantly engulfing Pakistan.

Filmed in Anatolia, "Ertugrul" is a legendary 150-episode account of Ertugrul Ghazi of the Ottoman Empire. After dubbing in Urdu, this series has taken root in the hearts of Pakistanis.

It is not to be expected that the ideas of millions of people in a remote country will be captured.

But Pakistan is different. The families of the family sit together and watch with great interest and understand that this is the true historical Islam.

Islamic history? What is this history like? In fact, it is a fictional story of thirteenth-century Anatolia, in which the interest of Pakistanis is growing. The writer and producer of the series, Mehta Bozdag, has admitted to the idea in this story.

Mehta Bozdag says there is very little information about the content we are presenting. No more than four to five pages.

There is no guarantee that even the available names will be correct. Writings about the founding of the Ottoman Empire were collected between one hundred and one hundred and fifty years later.

Nothing is certain in this historical figure. According to Mehta Bozdag, we are creating a story by dreaming.

The Turkish series has been masterfully crafted for a specific purpose in which the element of propaganda is evident. There is no doubt about it

There is a purpose behind the preparation. But what is that?

If in this series, while trying to reflect Islam, it has been proved that it is a religion of peace, then in practice, there is nothing so far in this series.

On the other hand, if one says that this series is an attempt to eliminate the effect of Islamophobia, then success will be the exact opposite.

For example, the first episode begins with bloodshed. Where swords are being drawn in the background of gypsy tents.

The opponents of the tribe are Christians and Byzantines whose bloody bodies are scattered here and after every battle. Hero Ertugrul Ghazi is seen beheading everyone. The hero also suspects the disloyalty of former comrades belonging to the tribe.

Was Ertugrul the only one left to interpret Islam?

The whole world saw such a culture of relentless beheading in Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's organization called ISIS. Can such a horrible trend be supported in this series?

 

Furthermore, can this bloodshed show the peaceful message of Islam to the world? Islam can be represented in more positive ways than shedding light on the struggle for power in tribal society.

For example, Turkish Kurdish scholars such as Ali Qashghi, Taqi al-Din or Al-Jazari may be a much better interpreter. Without the early scholars of Islam, the colorful printing of Muslim culture is nothing but an illusion.

This particular thinking has entangled a great global civilization like Islam in a weak and inconsistent way of thinking.

I doubt that Ertugrul's real purpose is less about Islam. It certainly seems to be paving the way for a long lost empire.

The production team requested large-scale financial support from the Turkish state, which was complied with. Horse farms developed.

In addition, a special zoo was built. The action-packed Hollywood stunt team was specially called.

Thus, these actors were given full training for action. Turkish President Erdogan and his family visited the film's shooting location several times.

Then what was possible happened.

The Arab world does not believe in Ertugrul.

The blockbuster received a strong response from within the Sunni strongholds of Islam. Both the UAE and Saudi Arabia condemned and banned the series.

Egyptian authorities have issued a fatwa calling for the re-imposition of Turkish rule. There are also reports that Saudi Arabia is trying to break it.

The trailer of the Saudi series has also been prepared. This proves that the Arabs are not in the mood to accept this "Turkish monopoly".

Most people do not like the attackers, but Pakistan's psyche is somehow isolated.

Perhaps overwhelmed by Erdogan's aggression, Prime Minister Khan proudly tweeted that the Turks had ruled India for 600 years.

That's only between half a quarter and half a truth. But it is clear to the Prime Minister that he welcomes the monarchy on his soil.

Khan is not alone. A large number of Pakistanis have celebrated all the attacks since the eighth century. The Arabs are the source of India's victory. Like our Naseem Hijazi, filmmaker Mehmet Buzdag is also creating realistic imagery.

How should one view ancient invasions and imperial conquests? It is just as irrational to praise or disrespect them.

India is a strikingly clear example of how degrading society can be if it does.

The work of Hindu revival has fallen on the evil foreign invader who shattered the paradise of Mother India. Suddenly all Muslims and Christians became angry.

As recently announced by Narendra Modi's right-hand man, there are foreign termites attacking a poor man's grain store.

 

Don't the foolish ideas of Hindutva know that all human civilization originated in Africa? There is no such thing as a "son of Indian soil."

Doesn't everyone know that the world?

Is every society the result of countless conflicts, wars and foreign invasions for thousands of years? Even DNA tests cannot tell the difference between Hindus and Muslims.

These basic lessons are for everyone. But unfortunately the rulers of Pakistan are far from these facts.

One of the strongest attitudes towards ancient foreign invasions should be to accept them as historical facts.

They should be investigated without any glorification or condemnation. No one can suffer the consequences of the deeds of his ancestors.

Moreover, the small things of the time have always obscured the facts from theory.

The creators of Ertugrul want us to sink into the past of others and celebrate imperialism.

We are deliberately confusing everything. This poisonous substance can only reinforce the dangerous illusion that moving forward actually means going backwards.

Instead of all this nonsense, the way forward is for Pakistanis to ask Pakistanis about the path to spring. We have a unique culture, a history. There is much to be gained from this diversity.

Everyone saw what happened in 1971. The eradication of Saudi culture failed to create a viable Pakistani identity. Accepting Turkey will not get us anything more.

Instead, a strong national identity can emerge only when Pakistanies is accepted. For example, it should be acknowledged that Punjab is just a Pakistani province and all citizens have rights on the basis of equality and justice. However, nothing seems to be changing at the moment.

Black Stone Accidents in the Mirror of History Part 2

3 - In the year 363 AH, a Roman man struck the Black Stone with his ax, leaving a clear mark of a slap on it - he picked up his ax as soon as he struck for the second severe blow. The help of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala reached him and a Yemeni man who was watching his horrible deed nearby killed him in the blink of an eye and his desire to strike another blow on the Black Stone remained in his heart.

4 - In the year 413 AH, Fatimid sent six of his followers to Mecca, one of whom was al-Hakim al-Obeidi, a tall, blond man with a strong body - a sword and an iron rod. At the instigation of his comrades, he struck three blows on the "Black Stone" in a state of insanity, which blew away his splinters. He was selling the first follicles in a sad state, saying (God forbid) It will not be completely uprooted until it is settled by the coins - but on this occasion once again the help of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala came and a detachment of cavalry surrounded them all and captured and killed them all. His body was later cremated.

5 - A similar incident took place in the year 990 AH when a non-Arab came to Mutaf with his weapon and struck the Black Stone - a prince of that time "Prince Naseer" was present in Mutaf which Killed him immediately -

6 - In the month of Muharram 1351 AH, an Afghan man came to Mataf and broke a piece of the Black Room and took it out and stole a piece of the cover of the Ka'bah. - He was captured by the guards around the Ka'bah - and then sentenced to death after due process The black stone is not in the form of a complete stone at this time as it was taken down from heaven, but the Holy Stone of the Age has given this sacred stone to the believers to kiss. The heart is restless all the time.

In 606, when the Prophet was 35 years old, the flood severely damaged the Ka'bah and the Quraysh rebuilt it, but when it came to keeping the Black Stone, the tribes quarreled. It was the wish of every tribe to have this happiness. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used the method of settling the dispute by placing the Black Stone in a chador and asked all the chiefs of the tribes to hold the corners of the chador and lift it. So everyone picked up the chador together and when the chador reached the place where it was to be placed, you installed it in the wall of the Ka'bah with your blessed hands. First of all, Abdullah bin Zubair put silver on the Black Stone. In 1268, Sultan Abdul Hamid covered the Black Stone with gold. In 1281, Sultan Abdul Aziz overlaid it with silver.
