Re: Ibn-e-safi fans
One thing which I noticed in Ibne-Safi novels among other things was 'Tazaad' or Irony.
Imran living very single and has a full family and even a sister.
Imran is tough for bad guys and is afraid of his mother yelling at him.... (She I think one time beat him with Chappal. I am not sure)
Joseph cries like a baby and fights like a bull.
Also Joseph drinks more to get more alert!!!
Sir Sultan loves his son but treats him like dirt and does not give him that much credit.
Hameedi and Qasim run after girls and when they come close they start 'haklaahat'.
Hameedi does something foolish but it gets to the success of Faridi. Faridi thanks him for doing foolish thing.
I am sure there are more examples but I can remember these for now.
I think Ibne-safi wanted people to understand that things are not always as they look.
And in Jasoosi Dunya/ culture, people can be dangerous despite being cool and friendly outside.
I just enjoyed every bit of his writings.
