It was once once I had given my matriculation examination and it was once in 1991. Our consequence playing cards have been withheld via Lahore Secondary Board, there was once any further price they sought after to price us.
We 3 pals left for Lahore from our village to convey the outcome card and provides cash and in addition come for sightseeing. Then the buses coming from Okara to Lahore was the similar. There was once unmarried street and Khatara device. Our village is situated 12 km from Okada on Dipalpur street. Wherein 8 kilometers have been carried out via bus and the remainder 4 kilometers have been carried out via bicycles or thongs.
We 3 pals sat on a bicycle and got here to a spot referred to as 32 flip, parked the bicycle there and locked it. Ceaselessly other people going to town used to fasten their bicycles at this position and pass to town via bus. On their go back, they might take a bicycle and are available to the village. On this method, Tange extensively utilized to stroll right here, however he didn’t must stay up for the bicycle. Apparently, bicycles have been by no means stolen there.
There was once no inhabitants and no retail outlets round. Our purpose was once that we can take the bus from Okara at 7 o’clock, we can achieve Lahore in 4 hours, i.e. at 11 o’clock, we can keep there for 3 to 4 hours and do our paintings. will select up their bicycle and depart for house earlier than Then it was once seven o’clock within the night.

The whole lot was once in step with this system. In the ones days we had pupil playing cards and that was once the one factor that was once proven on the condominium position. Lime hire was once additionally given at the side of it. As a result of those playing cards, there have been incessantly clashes between scholars and bus drivers. It was that if the scholars have been by myself, the bus conductors would display power, if there have been extra scholars, the bus conductors would beat them and the bus conductors would now not be given the fare via appearing their playing cards. On the other hand, the fare at the moment was once most effective ten rupees in Lahore.
All 3 people got here to Lahore, once we left the Lahore Board at one o’clock with our consequence playing cards, a abnormal need arose in our hearts that permit’s talk over with our family members. Family lived in President Kent. We boarded an area bus. When the bus motive force requested for the fare, he confirmed the cardboard and gave him 5 rupees to deduct 12 and go back the remainder. He noticed the cardboard and guessed that Londe was once now not from Lahore and saved 5 of 5. After we requested for the cash again, the conductor was adamant, pronouncing, ‘Do not communicate nonsense, or I will be able to kick your footwear.’
In the ones days we have been additionally enthusiastic Londas, however a matriculation kid is only a Londa. So the combat began. The 3 people washed the conductor however the motive force was once contemporary and fats like a rhinoceros. He grabbed the 3 people via the ear, so fortunate for us that two policemen got here. So we escaped from being hit via the motive force, however the police stuck us 3 and took us to the closest police station for mischief.
To start with, he was once saved within the police station for 3 hours. We saved crying and begging. Then someplace round 5 o’clock within the night, he took 100 rupees from us and left. After we mentioned, ‘Brother, there is not any fare to visit Okada,’ then we returned 30 rupees and mentioned, ‘Take this cash and get out of right here.’
Now we have been frightened that if we do not achieve via night, anyone will select up the bicycle mendacity at 32 bend. In the ones days, buses used to visit Okada from Badami Bagh, reached there via sitting on a bridge and reached Okada at 9 o’clock within the evening. After that, once we reached 32 flip round ten o’clock at evening, we noticed that our bicycle was once lacking there. This was once the brand new Nikkor cycle. Which I took on installments and per 30 days installment was once Rs.65. Do not ask how sorry he was once. Then the bicycle will value up to nowadays’s motorbike.
After strolling 4 miles from right here, we reached house at 12 o’clock within the evening and purchased the footwear for dropping the bicycle from Aba Mian. He then purchased any other bicycle on installments after coming into the eleventh usual. Thus, I had one bicycle however used to pay installments of 2 bicycles and paid cash from day-to-day labour. Time has handed since this incident ie roughly 12 years. Even 2003 got here.
In the ones days, Syed Anwar Hussain Shirazi lived at a distance of 3 kilometers from our village and one kilometer from 32 Mor. The land of 32 turns the place we as soon as parked the bicycle belonged to that Shirazi Sahib. I used to be very pleasant with Syed. He was once an previous guy however very energetic. They mentioned, ‘Natiq, I wish to construct a mosque right here at Bati Mor and set up a pipe in order that the vacationers can really feel relaxed. I come up with hard work and subject material, construct a mosque right here.’
Goodness and beauty, I used to be able. So it came about that I took two or 3 laborers there and began digging the rules of the mosque. There was once a small neatly, the water of which was once very sour, the water of that neatly was once of little use for ingesting, even the horses shod within the pangs there didn’t drink its water and most effective bricks might be washed. God is aware of how lengthy this neatly were closed and the water had dried up. A servant of Allah had positioned two or 3 stones on his mouth in order that nobody would fall into the neatly. This house was once noisy in the ones days. On occasion the water would pass underground and occasionally when the rains have been heavy, the water would arise.
Now we wanted water to construct the mosque and there was once no water round. We concept why now not rehabilitate this neatly. If a bit extra is dug out of it, the water will arise. And we will construct a mosque simply. When the rules of the mosque have been dug and the bricks began to be picked from them, we requested the employees to make use of the neatly first, brothers, input this neatly and dig a few ft extra in order that the water comes out. So we began lifting the stone crosses mendacity on the mouth of the neatly. After lifting the crosses, he noticed {that a} bicycle was once mendacity in it. Took out the bicycle and was once shocked to look that it was once my 12-year-old bicycle and a few rascal had thrown it into the neatly and glued crosses on it.
It was once the servant’s mischief or robbery, however later he additionally forgot to take it out. One of the bicycle pieces have been intact and a few have been salted. I picked up this bicycle and taken it to the village and were given it repaired and put it again into use. Then this cycle labored for me for 5 years. Now I used to do 32 turns in this cycle. And after running on the mosque, he used to return to the village at the similar bicycle. I finished this mosque in 4 months.
Coincidentally, Syed Anwar Hussain Shirazi gave up the ghost after finishing the mosque. Lately that mosque is status there, that neatly, that faucet could also be there. The bicycle was once later given to his cousin who in the end offered it to a murunda guy and ate the murunda.
