			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Its been a while I have written something here. I dont know why but I feel similar to <a href="http://shaibee.wordpress.com/2009/06/03/noname00/">this</a>.</p>
<p>Its not that nothing has happening around, infact a lot of significant things happened in the last month, but sometimes &#8230; you just dont feel like doing it. I dont know why.</p>
<p>There were some bad news, including the heinous attack at my <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8316020.stm">Alma Mater</a>. And the bad news has not gone yet, it rather continues &#8230; Every other day some part of the homeland is crying.</p>
<p>Then there were some good news as well;</p>
<ul>
<li>Butt sb was blessed with a baby boy. May Allah bless and protect your family.</li>
<li>MUF got married, taking the lead in expatriates. Congrats bro.</li>
<li>Oooops, did I miss Hammad? Infact Hammad took the lead, and MUF followed <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </li>
<li>Fadi got engaged. Yup finally he&#8217;s got a dedicated server <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </li>
</ul>
<p>And</p>
<ul>
<li>Ammar came to the UK.</li>
<li>I have finished 3 seasons of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ugly_Betty">Ugly Betty</a>.</li>
<li>And did I tell you I have joined Social Comittee at my workplace <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Yup, social comittee once &#8211; social comittee forever <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Although it has me as the only member yet, but I am already working on our first project.</li>
<li>I have moved into a new (shared) house.</li>
<li>And some other things as well &#8230;</li>
</ul>
<p>Thats quite a lot, isn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p>So &#8230; yes! life is going on &#8230;</p>
<p>PS: And I remember Umair suggesting me to start something else as well, apart from this blog, and I was thinking  I am unable to keep up with the existing one still <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  but I am thinking on your idea, and lets hope we get something rolling &#8230;.</p>

<p style="text-align:right;font-size:20px;">بابا ان کو گڑیا دے دوں ؟<br />
یا پھر میرے رنگوں والی، یاد ہے نہ وہ نیلی ڈبیا<br />
میری پچھلی سالگرہ پر، مجھ کو آپ نے لا کر دی تھی</p>
<p style="text-align:right;font-size:20px;">اور میری وہ پیاری پونی<br />

<p style="text-align:right;font-size:20px;">یاد ہے بابا، ایک دفعہ جب !<br />
مجھ کو ہاتھ پہ چوٹ لگی تھی .<br />
بہت زیادہ درد ہوا تھا &#8211; !!<br />
تھوڑا سا خون بھی نکلا تھا !!<br />
بہت زیادہ روئ تھی میں !!!</p>
<p style="text-align:right;font-size:20px;">کیا یہ بم بڑا ہوتا ہے ؟<br />
بہت زیادہ چوٹ لگے گی؟<br />
درد بھی شاید زیادہ ہو گا !!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>My trip to Pakistan is nearing its end. I&#8217;ll be flying back by the start of next week insha&#8217;Allah, as always with a lot of pleasant memories with me.</p>
<p>The trip was quite a busy one. Had some chores to do that were pending my arrival. Had to meet with friends, although havent been able to meet all of the them and some other stuff.</p>
<p>The most asked questions remain &#8220;Shadi kab ker rahe ho?&#8221; and the likes <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  <a href="http://shaibee.wordpress.com/2009/07/03/des-men-nikla-ho-ga-chand/">Recent wedding of my cousin</a> has given an even stronger momentum to this question within the family. Some elders of the family quite seriously advised that I should plan for it now. And I agree with them <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Its just that sometimes its difficult to prioritize things and take decisions, particularly the kind of things and decisions that are supposed to be taken by people with around 50 years of experience in this world, normally your parents.</p>
<p>Sometimes, I really miss my father.</p>
<p>Khair &#8230; at <em>all</em> such times, my Lord has <em>always</em> been there for me, so will He be now. I am concerned but not worried <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>&#8230;.</p>
<p>As of packing up, there is not much to pack actually. Just some clothes that I brought along and thats it.</p>
<p>I have to move home as well after I get back to London. I have almost 1 week for the room-hunt. Lets hope I find some reasonable place well in time.</p>
<p>See you later &#8230;</p>

<p>I am happy. I am flying to Pakistan today. I will spend rest of Ramadhan with my family, insha&#8217;Allah.</p>
<p>It was a busy morning today. I had to buy a couple of things to take along. Although that couple of things grew to quite a bunch of things, but thanks to PIA, the luggage allowance is 40 Kg.</p>
<p>Anyway &#8230;</p>
<p>I hope to be there by morning tomorrow, and I hope to see you all during my visit &#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Well, &#8220;us&#8221;, here, means me n Waqas <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Ramdhan, along with its blessings, brought a whole new schedule of activities, as it does every year.</p>
<p>As I am observing the longest <em>roze</em>y of my lifetime, so far, 16 hrs it is, time has suddenly run short. Before Ramdhan, we used to kill time, watching TV, browsing, FB and all that stuff. But, as the Ramadhan has started, we dont even have enough time to sleep.</p>
<p>The day starts at 3:30 AM, when we leave our beds with half open eyes. <em>Parathas</em>, eggs and tea, in the same order. Yougurt gets its place as a side order. Sometimes, left over curry from dinner also makes its to the table. We hardly make it to sehri-end time, although we are improving on this as the days are getting shorter.</p>
<p>Namaz etc takes it to around 5:00 AM, when we kiss the beds again, only to get up at 8:00 for office. I take half-an-hour break at lunch time, instead of normal an-hour break, and use the remaing half-an-hour in evening to leave early, so getting some touch of Ramadhan-in-Pakistan <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>On my way back home, I am nowadays reading <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Princess-Story-Behind-Saudi-Arabia/dp/0967673747/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_c">Princess by Jean Sasson</a>, which I borrowed from office&#8217;s collection of novels. I get sleepy again by the time I reach home, so, quite naturaly, immediately after reaching home, back to bed again <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  for a short nap of around 30 minutes.</p>
<p>In the mean while Waqas gets back too, and we offer Asar, before starting to prepare for Iftar. If some meal is already cooked, we are quite relieved. We normally cook once and eat that for 2 days. So we get a day&#8217;s break from cooking. Iftar is normally fruit-chat, fruit-juice and <em>samosas</em>.  Sometimes, we do some <em>ehtemam</em> as well e.g. French Toasts <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  yes French Toasts at Iftar. Try it, its fun. MUF is coming over this weekend, and we expect some home-cooked <em>pakora</em>s as well as some Rooh-Afza-and-milk kind of stuff, provided that we get hold of Rooh-Afza. So&#8230; delicious iftaries ahead <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>We are also planning to go out for Iftar over the weekend. <a href="http://www.thenottinghillcarnival.com/">Notting Hill Carnival</a> is another attraction over the weekend, might go there as well.</p>
<p>By the time we get done with dinner, its time for Isha/Taraweeh. Although the time is 10:00 PM, we have leave around 9:40 as the mosque is a bit far. We return around 11:40, and after a bit of chit chat, get back to beds around 12:00 AM.</p>
<p>And another day starts at 3:30 AM &#8230; <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Happy Independence Day !!!</p>
<p>I dont know if its just me, or actually, people have been more into celebrating Pakistan, after the restoration of Cheif Justice of Pakistan. Be it T20 Worldcup, or Independence Day or anything else. For the last 10 years at least, after the atomic explosions by government, I dont remember a single moment, when I have felt this way towards Pakistan. All the <em>mili naghme</em> had become meaningless. They just wont appeal. Army, no mention. Just dont talk about them. Putting a flag-badge near your heart would seem childish. And all that.</p>
<div id="attachment_336" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 388px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/creativedani/3807814333/"><img class="size-full wp-image-336      " title="Source : http://www.flickr.com/photos/creativedani/3807814333/" src="http://shaibee.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/green.jpg?w=378&#038;h=283" alt="Source : http://www.flickr.com/photos/creativedani/3807814333/" width="378" height="283" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Green Da Kolor of Love ... Spread It</p></div>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/creativedani/3807814333/">Source</a></p>
<p>But now, thanks to Allah, the pride is back. <em>Milli naghme</em> are as inspiring as they used to be in childhood, even more. Anything green, appeals. There has been Facebook/Twitter compaigns to turn everything into green. Army is getting its respect back. People have started to believe in them again. Things are getting better.</p>
<p>The enemies have tried Taliban, they are pushed back. They tried to create an artificial hype of Taliban in Punjab and Sindh, they are set silent. They tried to <a href="http://shaibee.wordpress.com/2009/07/04/punjab-2/">bisect Punjab</a>, and the break country as a whole into parts, they were met strongly. They tried to create shia/sunni Christian/Muslim riots, they have failed. Pakistan stood strong in the face of all the plans. Goverment deserves an applause for tackling all this.</p>
<p>They are not done as yet, as they are trying to play Balochistan, but hopes are high.</p>
<p>Then there are internal problems, of power-outage and sugar. Goverment still needs to answer these. If they try sincerely, these are non-issue, created artificially, and can be handled without much effort, but the stakeholders will lose money, and that is something which is holding goverment from doing anything.</p>
<p>Khair &#8230; lets hope for the best.</p>
<p><em>Pakistan Paendabad !!!</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>It was <em>Shabb-e-Meraj</em> a couple of days back.</p>
<p>As you kknow<em>, Shabb-e-Meraj</em> is one of the nights known to have significance, in Islamic calendar, among others such as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shab-e-baraat"><em>Shabb-e-Baraat</em></a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laylat_al-Qadr"><em>Shabb-e-Qaddar</em></a>.</p>
<p>I remember, in good old days, when I used to <em>have time</em> and when I had things to do other than sitting in front of my PC, we friends would stay late in <em>Masjid</em> on such nights. There used to be a <em>Jalsa</em> in the <em>masjid</em>. At the end sweets were distributed. We normally were part of the volunteer group, organizing things like getting sweets from shop to <em>masjid</em>, receiving guests, distributing sweets etc., <em>intazamia</em> as they call it.  Normally there used to be 2 scenarios after the distribution; we would either run short of sweets, and nothing would remain for us, or we&#8217;ll have plenty of it left. In former case, we&#8217;d try to play graceful, as if we dont care <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> , whereas in latter, we&#8217;d get lion&#8217;s share without looking <em>nadeeda <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  </em></p>
<p>After <em>jalsa</em> we&#8217;d sit in the mosque, offer <em>nawafil</em>, recite Quran and talk.</p>
<p>Those were the days &#8230;</p>
<p>Khair &#8230; this is not the topic of today&#8217;s post.</p>
<p>I was wondering, as we get different lunar dates in different parts of the world, i.e. it might be 27th of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajab"><em>Rajab</em> </a>in Pakistan, with 28th in Saudi Arab, and 26th in some other part of the world. So &#8230; as we believe these nights are blissful, are all 27ths blissful, or is it just one of them. I hope I am making my point.</p>
<p>This gets particularly significant in case of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laylat_al-Qadr"><em>Shabb-e-Qaddar</em></a>, as its a special night. So special that it has got a complete <em>surah</em> for it. I might be wrong, but it seems its one night, and cannot be more than one. And as it is one of the odd-numbered nights in last 10 days of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramadhan"><em>Ramdhan</em></a>,  if it is on 25th in Pakistan, it would be on 26th or 24th in some other part of the world, neither of which is an odd number.</p>
<p>Also, as our religious high-ups are notorious for manipulating <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shawal"><em>Shawal</em></a>&#8217;s moon, if in one calender year, they actually erred, that causes an error of a day in the lunar dates. For example here in UK, they dont base the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramadhan"><em>Ramadhan</em></a>/<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shawal"><em>Shawal</em> </a>moon on sighting, but with the <a href="http://shaibee.wordpress.com/2008/09/01/ramadhan-mubarik/">date announced in Saudi Arabia</a> or Pakistan. How does that effect these nights?</p>
<p>I have no answer to this confusion, hence putting it here &#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p style="text-align:right;"><span style="font-size:large;">کل دفتر سے وقت پہ آ گیا تھا. تھوڑی دیر میں وقاص بھی آ پہنچا. ادھر ادھر کی باتوں کے بعد وہی روز کا سوال: آج کیا پکائیں؟<br />
میں: گھر میں کیا کچھ ہے ؟<br />
میں (ہاں دوبارہ ): چنے ہیں. سبزی ہے. چاول ہیں.<br />
وقاص: آج مرغی بناتے ہیں.<br />
میں: لانی پڑے گی.<br />
وقاص: چل نا یار.لے آتے ہیں.<br />
میں؛ اچھا !چل.<br />
دل بالکل نہی چاہ رہا تھا مگر &#8230;</span></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><span style="font-size:large;">قریب میں ہی حلال گوشت کی دکان ہے. شکر ہے قریب ہی ہے. دکان پہ تین قسم کی مرغی دستیاب تھی. ہم نے ایک قسم منتخب کی، ٢ بنانے کو کہا  اور انتظار کرنے لگے. ہم انتظار کر ہی رہے تھے کہ نظر قیمہ پہ پڑی.<br />
میں: قیمہ لے لیں؟<br />
وقاص: لے لے.<br />
میں: یار دھونے کا بڑا مسلہ ہوتا ہے، پر چل لے لیتے ہیں.<br />
میں (دوبارہ ): آج قیمے والے چاول نا بنائیں.<br />
وقاص: اچھی تجویز ہے.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><span style="font-size:large;">.جب گھر پہنچے تو ہم فیصلہ کر چکے تھے. قیمہ چاول.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><span style="font-size:large;">گھر پہنچے، وقاص مرغی دھونے لگا اور میں</span></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><span style="font-size:large;">دیکھنے لگا. وقاص مرغی دھو کے ہٹا تو میں اٹھا اور قیمہ دھونے لگا. وقاص دھلی مرغی فریزر میں رکھنے لگا TV.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><span style="font-size:large;">قیمہ دھونا میں نے شروع تو کر دیا، مگر اسے ختم کیسے کرنا تھا یہ مجھے سمجھ نہی آ رہا تھا. جی ہاں ہمارے پاس چھاننی نہی تھی. سو ہاتھ سے دھونا شروع کیا. اب پانی نکالنے لگتا تو قیمہ بھی پانی کے ساتھ باہر. قیمہ روکوں تو پانی بھی رک جاۓ. اب کریں تو کیا کریں. خیر کوشش جاری رکھی اور مٹھیوں میں قیمہ بھر کے، اس کا پانی نچوڑ کے، اور پلیٹ میں رکھنا شروع کیا. اب تھوڑا بہت قیمہ ہوتا تو شاید دھل بھی جاتا، مگر ١ کلو قیمہ ایسے کیسے دھلے.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><span style="font-size:large;">کافی سوچ بچار کے بعد یہی ٹھہری کہ اگر قیمہ دھونا ہے تو دکان پہ جایا جاۓ اور چھاننی لای جاے. کوئی ٨ بجے کا عمل تھا، پتا نہی کوئی دکان کھلی ہو گی کہ نہی. یہاں ٦ بجے کے بعد کوئی چیز لینی ہو تو کافی مسلہ ہوتا ہے. Tesco کھلا ہو گا، مگر تھوڑا دور ہے گھر سے.قریب میں 99p سٹور ہے. جی ہاں ہر مال 99p  <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  میرا خیال تھا کے ٩ بجے تک کھلا ہوتا ہے. سو .. چل پڑے چھاننی لینے. اب جو 99p پہنچے تو کیا دیکھتے ہیں، سٹور بند ہو چکا تھا. ٩ کی بجاۓ ٨ بجے بند ہوتا ہے.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><span style="font-size:large;">وقاص بولا، قریب میں ایک اور سٹور ہے، وہ شاید کھلا ہو. وہاں بھی جا دیکھا اور اسے بھی بند پایا. اب کیا کریں. تھوڑا دور پاکستانی بھایوں کی دکانیں ہیں، وہ ذرا دیر تک کھلی ہوتی ہیں. سو ، کوسنے دیتے ہوئے اس وقت کو جب ہم نے قیمہ خریدا اور قیمہ چاول بنانے کا سوچا، چل پڑے اس بازار کی طرف.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><span style="font-size:large;">بازار میں تھوڑا ہی آگے گئے تو ایک رسوی کے سامان والی دکان کھلی نظر آی. شکر کا کلمہ پڑھا اور گھس گئے. ایک خان صاحب سے ملاقات ہوئی. عرض مدعا پہ صاحب نے فرمایا کہ اب تو دکان بند کر رہے ہیں، اور آپ کی مطلوبہ، تھوڑی آگے پڑی ہے اور وہاں تک کے راستے میں سامان رکھ دیا ہے، لہذا پہنچ سے باہر ہے. اب چھا ننی ہمیں دکھ تو رہی تھی، مگر ہم اسے چھو تک نہی سکتے تھے. خان صاحب نے ایک مہربانی یہ کی کہ ایک اور دکان کا پتا بتا دیا، کہ کھلی ہو گی اور وہاں سے چھا ننی مل بھی جاۓ گی. ہم خان صاحب کو صلواتیں سناتے ، اور ایک بار پھر خود کو کوسنے دیتے، آگے کو چل پڑے.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><span style="font-size:large;">جاتے ہوے دایں ہاتھ پہ ایک سردار جی کی دکان پڑتی ہے. ہم کھانے پکانے کا دیسی سامان وہیں سے لیتے ہیں. کافی بڑی دکان ہے. سوچا دیکھتے چلیں، شاید کہ گوہر مقصود ہاتھ آ جاۓ. دکان میں جا کہ جو نظر دوڑای تومایوسی ہوئی. سوچا دکان والوں سے پوچھتے چلیں.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><span style="font-size:large;">کچھ خواتین مقام ادایگی پہ موجود تھیں. ہم نے ایک کو مخاطب کیا اور عرض کیا کہ ایک عدد چھاننی کی ضرورت ہے اگر آپ کے پاس ہو تو عطا فرماے تا کہ گھر جا کہ قیمہ دھویں اور قیمہ چاول بنایں. ان خاتون کو ہماری بات کی کچھ سمجھ نہی آی، تو وضاحت کی خاطر وقاص بولا، جی جیسے چاۓ کی پونی ہوتی ہے، ویسی چاہیے مگر قیمہ دھونے کے لیے. خاتون نے پہلے تو ہماری اس معصومانہ مثال سے لطف لیا <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  اور پھر پیچھے مڑ کے ایک اور خاتون سے اس بابت دریافت کیا. وہ کافی بھلی مانس تھیں، جب ان کے سمجھانے کے باوجود ہمیں سمجھ نہی آیا کہ دکان کے کس حصے میں دیکھنا ہے، تو خود ساتھ ہو لیں.  برتنوں والے حصے میں آ کے دیکھنا شروع کیا مگر کچھ ملا نہی. تھوڑی دیر میں خاتون کی آواز سنائی دی، الله، وہ تو ختم ہو گیں ہیں. اسی لمحے وقاص کی نظر ایک ڈبے پہ پڑی جس پہ انگریزی زبان میں چھاننی لکھا تھا. جس پہ ان خاتون نے بتایا یہ تو آٹے والی ہے. ہم نے قیمت پوچھی تو  ٧.٩٩ پونڈ . ایک چھاننی کے لیے اتنے پیسے، ہمارے حساب سے تھوڑے زیادہ تھے، سو ہم نے ان کا شکریہ ادا کیا اور دکان سے باہر نکل آے. اگر تھوڑے کم پیسوں کی ہوتی، تو شاید ہم آٹے والی</span></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><span style="font-size:large;">چھاننی ہی لے کے اس سے قیمہ دھو لیتے، اس وقت حالت ہی ایسی ہو رہی تھی.<br />
تھوڑی دیر مزید چلنے کے بعد ہم خان صاحب کے بتائی ہوئی دکان پہ پہنچے اور یہ جان کر خوشی ہوئی کہ نا صرف دکان کھلی ہے بلکہ چھاننی بھی دستیاب ہے. خان صاحب کو دعایں دیتے، چھاننی خریدتے ہم گھر کو لوٹے.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><span style="font-size:large;">اس بار قیمہ دھونا کوئی اتنا بڑا مسلہ ثابت نہی ہوا.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><span style="font-size:large;">قیمہ دھویا، چاول بھگوے، مسالہ بنایا، قیمہ ڈالا، بھونا، چاول ڈالے، اور تھوڑی دیر میں چاول تیار. لیکن جیسا کہ عموما ایسی روایات کا نتیجہ ہوتا ہے، کہ چاول اتنے مزے کے بنے کہ نہ پوچھیں، تو ایسا کچھ نہی ہوا. چاول بس ٹھیک ہی بن گئے.<br />
ہم نے دہی کے ساتھ تناول فرماے اور الله کا شکر ادا کیا.</span></p>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="overflow:hidden;position:absolute;left:-10000px;top:0;width:1px;height:1px;"><span style="font-size:large;">آج دفتر سے وقت پہ آ گیا تھا. تھوڑی دیر میں وقاص بھی آ پوھنچا. ادھر ادھر کی باتوں کے بعد وہی روز کا سوال: آج کیا پکائیں؟<br />
میں: گھر میں کیا کچھ ہے ؟<br />
