Hello, Hatem Tai’s week was once complete

My compatriots, strolling out of the corridors of New York Airport on October tenth, I discovered myself immediately below the arrest of Ehtisham Qureshi. Ehtsham Babu is a health care provider of the guts and he were given into the guts.

Khas got here from a state of Delaware, 300 kilometers from New York, to select us up and returned from there in opposite. Alongside the way in which, he stopped in New Jersey, visiting many extra cities and making his approach house.

By means of the way in which, this position is named the East Coast, however it seems like paradise. Abundance of fodder and inexperienced, guarding tall and canopied timber, quacks of deer and peacocks within the forests discuss within the shadow of the intense solar, at the proper the fairway sea waves, at the left a sequence of fields and barns.

The leaves of the timber are in 1000’s of colours, the air is contemporary and aromatic. The grass is so blank, inexperienced and glossy that the deer desires to devour it. What we used to listen to in regards to the land of fairy stories is now right here. God is aware of why Hatim Tai didn’t come right here in his weekly excursion. I want he would come and be known as our Columbus.

Ehtesham Qureshi’s Begum and our sister-in-law, Rehana Rizvi, also are medical doctors and we have now by no means noticed or heard of this type of fashionable woman until the top of the day. They know the whole lot except for the right way to make tea and we have now taught them. Their home is so stunning and inexperienced that what is going to God say. Ehtisham Bhai has 3 daughters and one son. One daughter is a fiction author and poet and the son is an actor. We heard from him a myth and a poem. By means of Allah, those two issues have been older than his age. Would possibly Allah offer protection to us from the eyes of envy.

We had no thought what preparations have been being made for our arrival. In different phrases, the opposite day, a large rite was once being held. At the eleventh of October we aroused from sleep within the morning and to start with went for a stroll by myself, were given our club a number of the deer and peacocks and returned house after about two hours. Then Ehtisham took us out at the pretext of getting breakfast and went to a large metro retailer thru such fascinating settlements that this is able to now not occur in Pakistan.

Within the night time, he organized a dinner for us in his area and invited 100 servants. He needed to take meals for that. After we arrived, there was once a odd spectacle within the tremendous retailer, after they would purchase the pieces that Begum informed them, a brand new listing would seem on WhatsApp after some time, and in the event that they purchased them, a 3rd listing would seem.

The ones issues have been taken and the sister-in-law was once praised that she is a superb guy, I imagine her a just right husband. Neatly, after that they purchased for us two pants, 4 shirts, one trouser, one jacket of leather-based, shaving apparatus, cream powder apparatus and a complete warehouse of walnuts and almonds and purchased them in forex greenbacks.

And are you aware what this greenback is, the mum father of our clerics, politicians, army brothers and businessmen. Its perfume is greater than that of blood, so it’s awesome to blood. So after promoting greenbacks as a substitute of products, we went to a cafe for breakfast, the place peculiar, deficient American citizens will have a just right breakfast.

After we entered, Ihtsham Mian demanded that we devour meat and eggs, however we have been afraid that there could be no pig, no monkey, no servant. He mentioned to them: ‘Brothers, you’re going to devour the haram meat in your middle’s content material, however we thank Allah, the entire of Pakistan eats, however we will be able to now not devour this haram meat so that eventually some Muslim stays. Feed us aloo bhujia.’ He mentioned: ‘Do not be afraid, those are unbelievers, they have got now not even come on the subject of Islam, they simply feed what they inform.’ Donkeys are used right here to hold items, however we did not pay attention one and we were given a stomachache from consuming potatoes.

This eating place was once in an peculiar the city in The usa and it was once peculiar and intended for the deficient and deficient, but if I checked out its composition, designing, I assumed, deliver the similar composition to 100 occasions decrease degree, then our elite in Islamabad. The eating places are like that and the amount of cash an individual fees, a deficient individual can devour an entire tuber in that quantity. This is, lots of the cafes and tea homes of the elites of Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi are deficient imitations of third-rate resorts in the USA.

Leaving there, they got here to the beach, Ehtesham confirmed me the puts the place the bare global is going to the shores, lies down, has amusing. This Jahanabad was once regularly the arena of Buddhas and Ducks and was once an excessively stunning position. There have been extra canine in human docks than people. However lately there was once neither the picture of the idol nor the idol itself. In the end, he became round and returned house.

Rehana Bibi had already ordered a few hundred forms of meals, this meals was once for the night time, however our saliva flowed after we noticed it, they have been in reality Pakistanis, so like Allama Iqbal, we broke the quick within the afternoon. So we ate meals, ate fruit, then made our personal tea and drank it. Brothers, within the subject of tea, from The usa to Pakistan, from all of the large resorts and from the higher center elegance to the aristocracy, all of the cooks are similarly professional and highest in making dangerous tea. So, no less than relating to tea, we do not take any possibility and make our personal, that is what we did right here. She made it herself, you additionally drank it and drank it to Ihtsham brother and sister-in-law Rehana and recommended them to do that paintings with goodness one day.

Slightly sooner than the night time, the visitors had now not but arrived when Rehana Rizvi requested Ehtisham in regards to the visitors that after they come, they must additionally give some greenbacks whilst leaving. We mentioned, “What injustice are you doing? In any case, we’re being attentive to his poems, however he didn’t obey Allah’s ban and gave 300 greenbacks to every poet.”

By means of the grace of God, poets and human beings began coming and by way of seven o’clock within the night time roughly 50 other people had come. Then the meals opened. In The usa, other people do not run away straight away after consuming, so in a rite or mushaira, the meals is served to the visitors first, in order that their consideration isn’t diverted from the poem to the meals.

Now I understood that those poets were amassed from the group, but if the quest started, it was once discovered that some have come throughout 3 seas, some have come throughout 3 rivers, some were despatched from 3 states.

Then I understood to sacrifice 300 greenbacks on them. What number of greenbacks did we get? Brother, we were given greater than our value. Amongst the ones poets there was once a poetess and that was once Sabiha Bibi, the remaining have been righteous servants of Allah and have been known as poets. One among them was once Khalid Sahib, he used to mention that he writes funny poetry. I discovered it in reality humorous.

The most efficient factor was once that after we recited our poems and recited a work of prose, the books that we took there for benefit have been part bought there, we mentioned $20 for a ebook, self-understanding. What number of will likely be 40 books?

The remainder of the part was once taken to Zafar Zaidi mushaira and given to us greenbacks. This convention was once the soaking up middle of a pupil and noteworthy in order that you do not ask for anything else, anyplace we get centrality, we will be able to name it a memorable convention, you’ll do no matter you wish to have. Subsequently, this uproar persisted until two o’clock within the evening.

The happiness of Ehtsham Sahib and Rehana Rizvi Sahib was once to be noticed, they used to care for us as though we have been a useful treasure and had fallen into their palms, I’ve by no means noticed such love anyplace. My spouse, what are you asking? O Pakistanis, you must additionally recognize us as a result of we’re very uncommon, then we will be able to now not be touched. At evening we slept.

Tomorrow was once to visit New York and sign up for the Zafar Zaidi Mushaira whose lawn is within the palms of Humira Rehman and we have been to be taken right here by way of Ehtsham Qureshi Bhai and Rehana Rizvi Bibi. Now let’s depart the main points of the following day to the following day.
