To all Chowkies:

Haiy tau yeh rasm-e-zamanah, lekan phir bhi
Ho mubarak tumhain yeh saal nya, meray rafiq

Happy New Year

Was this written in 1960s ??

This is nothing more than a morbid fantasy of a writer who knows nothing about modern psychiatry and psychiatric treatment. Get some scientific information please!!

Re: # 3
I found it well written, and so many other stories have been written on mental institutions, and they all have the same air, but it was still very shocking.

This was really well written. Gritty and scary but somehow so real. I felt like I was trapped in a nightmare. Well done!
