One day back in Karachi, when I was in I think class 5th or 6th…I came home from school and I asked ammi kay ammi ammi kiYaa pakaayaa hai?

Ammi said: BataoouN

I said: Jee ammi.. bataaieN naa… qasam say bahut bhook lagge hai.. pet maiN choohay dauR rahai haiN.. dil chaa rahaa hai aik addad Billi khaa looN :halo:

Ammi looked into my eyes, opened her eyes wide, crushing her teeth said: BataaoouN

I made the innocent face and bringing tears in my eyes replied: Imaan saY aNtRiyaaN Qul ho wallah paRh rahi haiN:teary1: aur aap ko mazaaq kee soojhee hai

Ammi smacked her head: Naalaaiq laRkaY.. bataayaa naa BataaouN pakaayaa hai.. yaani BENGAN

I did not know bataaouN is another name for Bengan (The egg plant) in Rajhistaani urdu:snooty:… meraa kiyaa qusoor thaa iss maiN .. I was little you see
