…aisaa hii huaa…7 saal ke ba’d Rs. 1 de kar bachchaa vaapas le liyaa…vo bachchaa aaj koii 40 baras kaa hai lol…

…jihaalat kii bhii koii Had hai na Hisaab…apnaa iimaan zaay’a kar liyaa.

They used to give children names like ‘Mirch’, ‘Basar (Piyaz)’ if earlier children died in infancy.

This kharid o farokht story is still followed in our Nanihaal, but at the time of khatna of boys
