There was a boatman too, expertly playing the flute with his honey glaze fingers.
O palan hare nirgun aur niyare free#
Hetal always pictured herself as a white-sailed felucca floating free on those blue waters letting the Nile take charge and guide her to new shores. Holding the edge of the sink with both hands for support she shut her eyes for a bit, breathing in the surprisingly cool breeze. The view of the cool Nile flowing serenely into the golden horizon distracted her. Shukran Omm Sabina,” replied Hetal, puking out the slimy bile onto the ornate lapis blue sink tiles. “Sab theek hai bachche?” Sabina’s silver mop instantly poked out of her window in maternal concern. It was a small price to pay for the precious gift of companionship in this strange land - so different, yet, in some ways very similar to her village in Kutch. So what if she had to share the toilet with her septuagenarian landlady Sabina. Her one-room apartment in this cheap Maadi neighbourhood was a steal at 450 Egyptian pounds. Hetal felt a wave of nausea rise up to her throat and she ran to the toilet down the sweltering corridor outside. A half-eaten plastic case of koshari lay in the garbage bin spilling its contents – rice, noodles, pasta and gravy in an ugly red splatter. There were a few baladi breads neatly packed in aluminum foil along with some falafel, white onions and green chillies. Hetal quickly swung her tiny frame off the couch with a “Hey Krishna maaf karna,” heading to the kitchen counter two feet away. The flicker of a movement in her stomach brought her back to the now and she realized how hungry she was. The tip of her tongue soon found the raw gash in her mouth and gently poked the fleshy hollow releasing waves of dull pain that throbbed in sync with her headache. The heavy-handed pounding last night had been so sudden, that Hetal was dazed by the impact and couldn’t react till much after Hemesh had slammed the door and walked out in a raging huff. “Meoooww, meeeooWiping her face with the back of her hand, Hetal tried to fight the sorrow, but it seemed stuck like shrapnel somewhere between her heart and throat in leaden lumps, choking her. At first Hetal winced, but the wet flicks of Alisha’s tongue soothed her wounds - those gaping on the surface and those festering deep within. As if on cue, Alisha mewed sweet nothings to her adopted mistress and began licking Hetal’s ear, swollen to double its size now. That’s when the enormity of what happened last night hit her like a sharp claw. “Hat re Alisha, dhurr,” Hetal chided gamely, maternal love dripping from her doe-eyes as she nuzzled the feline her only true soul-mate in far away Cairo.
The russet alley cat had playfully jumped onto her tummy from the windowsill. Gambhir, who joined the BJP before the recent Lok Sabha polls, contested from East Delhi seat and defeated Congress’s Arvinder Singh Lovely by 3.Hetal woke up with a start. His comments, however, did not go down well with a section of his partymen in Delhi who said the cricketer-turned-politician’s remarks might be used against the BJP by the opposition parties. Tolerance & inclusive growth is what the idea of India is based on,” he said in another tweet. I am not limiting myself to Gurugram incident alone, any oppression based on caste/religion is deplorable. “My thoughts on secularism emanate from honourable PM Mr Modi’s mantra “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas”. Gambhir also said his secularism emanated from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s philosophy of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’ and added that any oppression based on caste or religion is deplorable. We are a secular nation where writes ‘O palan-hare, nirgun aur nyare & gave us d song ‘Arziyan’ in Delhi 6 (sic),” Gambhir had said in a tweet on Monday. Exemplary action needed by Gurugram authorities. “In Gurugram Muslim man told to remove skullcap, chant Jai Shri Ram. The East Delhi MP had termed the incident as “deplorable” and asked the authorities to take “exemplary” action in the matter. He was also reportedly asked to remove his skull cap and forced to chant “Jai Shri Ram”.
The 25-year-old Muslim man was allegedly slapped by a group of people in Gurgaon on May 25.
Not necessarily your statements,” he tweeted. Not that you have asked for my advise but still- Don’t get into a trap of getting popular with a section of media. As a passionate Indian it made me very happy.
Kher took to Twitter to congratulate Gambhir on his recent election victory and also advised the former cricketer. Veteran actor Anupam Kher on Tuesday had a piece of advice for newly elected MP Gautam Gambhir: refrain from falling into the “trap of getting popular with a section of media”, after the former cricketer criticised the alleged assault on a Muslim man in Gurgaon.
