I was watching TV and my Ammi was sitting in the kitchen talking with some other Auntie, and Ali Zafar’s music video came up and I was just messing around I was like “Hai, Ammi mujai pyaar hogaiyaa hai. I’m gonna marry him, I love him”…and yea I was doing like a whole dramatic scene, putting the back of my hand up to my forehead like I was feeling the very pain of not being able to have him (just yet ).
hah yea and usually, my Ammi, she just starts laughing or gives out a little snort to acknowledge how pathetic I am, but this time…oh she went all out. Her and that Auntie both start going on and on about what “pyaar” really is and how the way I see Ali Zafar isn’t really love, etc, etc. At first I was like thinking “Omg Ammi and Auntie are SO old school, …things have changed and, blah blah blah”..
but then, my Ammi said something, and I thought it was pretty true too…she said “Beta, jub tummai SAHI pyaar hoyaygaa kissi larkai sai, tho phir tummai ITNI sharam aiigii kai tum ousko dhekh bhi nahi sukhoo gi”……hehe lolllll
haha and then that Auntie, she’s like sitting there nodding her head the whole time going “haan, waakai”..and then she starts up saying “haan, aur vesay bhi loag kehtain hain kai Islam mein sirf aik duffa dhekhnai ki gounaa NAHI miltaa, laiken ouskai baad phir sai nahi dheknaa chiy hai”…meaning like you should only look at whomever if you think they’re cute just once, and then after that you aren’t allowed to look again. haha but then she goes “Yes and if you look at him once and then look down but you don’t blink and then you look back up again at him, it still only counts as one look” hahaha…
Yes, so I learned a lot of mushy lovey-dovey crap that day, and I plan to keep it bottled in my puny little mind for the next couple of years and use it when necessary.
