Sobia

I am at times envious of a house wife`s job.

Free boarding and lodging for life time. No office tensions, no job securuty problems, no responsibility for making a living.

With such perks, `Kaali Kaloti` once in while is ok.

Poor moi couldn`t even find asylem in Cricket! I was the third of the three and the youngest. The eldest would take the bat and toss the ball to his younger partner. I`d come running behind them, ``And me?``. ``You do the fillding!`` Then they`d throw the ball all over the park and I`d have to run and pick it up.




I had the chance to play a match for my city Multan in an under-19 tournament. I did pretty well with the bat, and my captain exclaimed it was surprising, because he was only playing me as a point fielder. Since then I decided that I`ll never play professional cricket again!

In our day, they merely shot frogs out of the water with chharey wali bandooq. Now they play cricket with them. Once the housewife finds out how much fun frogs can be, the story about what is red and green and goes at 40 miles per hour will come true in Islamabad as well. (I am sure you have all heard this joke about the red and green thing going at 40 mph, so no need to relate the whole joke. At least not on this post.)
