Or realized that you are a book worm??

If I can recall my self it seems like since ever I had been a reading lover not only books but anything that I can get my hands on. I guess the credit goes to my parents because both of them use to read a lot so other then couple of my siblings every one else is very much in reading for time pass. It’s actually very good that because of that habit not only we can speak but read and write perfect urdu despite living all our lives abroad.

I still remember my dad’s scolding when I was in grade 4th and he found me reading Manto’s afsanay (which obviously went over my head due to their maturity level content (any body remember Kaali Shalwar???)). At that time I use to wake up early like 4:00 A.M just to read in peace as we are masha Allah say 7 siblings. Once my family got so worried as they were unable to find me in the whole neighborhood and was ready to go to the police while I have been reading on the top of the roof of our three story house hiding under the water tank. That’s also not a fond memory to remember . Oh man this reading has caused me lot of trouble growing up.

I thought I am the only one who have these qualities or read these story books.
I was very crazy and even read story books in wash room. Once my brother literally locked the door and take away key with him, I spent almost 2 hours there and finished whole book (that was summer day)
