Song of the Day | Tu Hai Wahi
Yep, I am back with one of these. The last post on this was probably Bol Kaffara. So, I was on YouTube, minding my business, watching Zanjeerain episode 13. And the next recommended video had Asim Azhar on it, and the title Tu Hai Wahi. Kishore Kumar’s soothing voice instantly rang in my head, but…

Wednesday Whimsies | دعوت اور کھانا
دعوت یعنی آؤ، بیٹھ کر باتیں کرو، کھانا انجوائے کرو جہاں میزبان آپ کو اصرار کرے کہ یہ تو لیجیے، وہ چکھیے، تھوڑا اور کھائیے۔ آپ کے کہنے سے پہلے پلیٹ میں مزید کھانا اور گلاس میں پانی آ جاتا ہے۔ اس کے بعد چائے، کافی، شربت۔۔۔ کھانا یعنی آؤ، کھاؤ اور…
