bismil:
you should submit more often!
since some have taken up fozia`s support here...and other`s act as her detractors...i`d sit on the sideline...what with my fellow curmudgeon hamidm also stirring the pot:)
miriam:
(just for making me blush)
... i`d mention a disgusting incident...happened with me...sometime in the last century...(just protecting the ladies involved)...
my brother wanted to get married to a karachi gal...what with al-nikah min al sunnati... ..i think it means marriage is preferable to living in sin...or someting pretty close...arabic is a foreign language...experts tell me the living in sin applies only to marriage-able and i suppose willing-to ladies only...ok will cut out the legalese...they tell me this al-nikah min al sunnati... does not apply to slaves and concubines...this reminds me of a poem on ghungroo and mangal sut`r i did recently but for brevity`s sake i`d keep it out of here...where was i?
...yes my brother wanted a companion to do that legally...and we were here...(T.O.)...and all the eligible ladies we knew were of a more local disposition...meanig desi here...and he wanted the desi from there...now i do not do these favours for everybody...but as i have told you he was my brother...(still is..somethings cannot be changed)... i said i will sacrifice my holidays and we will visit karachi...in preparation for that visit i informed all my friends and relatives there of the holy nature and intent of our sojourn...all three of them...
...so now we arrive jetlagged and the same evening we went to this place for tea...the directions were very precise...turn right at the second chowrangi...turn left on the third road on the left...the one with the chassiss of a burned out car...there is a panwala on the next corner...ask him for hamidm sahib`s house....(ok this is better than making up a name..and brother hamid would not mind at all)...
...so we arrive at this place and are let in the drawing room..after noons can be .....er....stifling there...what with heat and humidity and dust...khair...in the living room we are seated....an old dadi amman comes in and says something...she is short...all the grannys i know are short...and bent...and is wearing white...oily hair....thick glasses....really thick lenses....and dirty on top...did i mention she had two teeth...left...i mean teeth left...maybe that is both of us felt the need for sub-titles....but this wasn`t a movie...i smiled...picking up a clue my stoic bro smiled...she smiled...
...then another old lady emerged...she was less bent but still in white and had oily hair...her words were a little more decipherable...she was the granny...that made the first one great granny...even though we were briefed a little the girl with tea tray was expected but had not materialised yet...there were some pictures of still older people in sepia toned photographs in frames that can be described as just this side of being labelled antique...the younger of the two old ladies tried to ascertain if my brother could talk...they had already seen his smile...everytime she would ask him something my brother would look at me... i felt like the third guy in the chair between nixon and mao...or between king fah`d and just about anyone...
...i know you want to know what happened...if my brother liked the lady...if she liked him...did they live happily every after...but patience...all in due course...so here we are...my brother is looking at me...in time the granny started examining my hands very closely...she watched my hands ( i thought) very carefully trying to see if i translated her queries in sign language for him to reply to her...at some point she spoke with sufficient clarity and my brother not only understood her question...god bless him... he also replied instantly...satisfied that my brother could listen and talk...she eased up and smiled some more...
...there were some more rustlings and we could hear some giggling...another lady enters the room...this is the mother...we had to nudge each other from falling asleep...6pm in karachi was like 4am here...there was a remarkable similiarity between the ladies...if my brother married their daughter we could see in 20 year intervals what she would look like...seeing we were sleepy the mother asked us if we wanted tea...did we!...tea came...
(ok have to rush out...so maybe another day?)
lve,

Raw Dust,
I`m quite fine, thanks. But Ammu, the protagonist was punished for daring to exercise her sexual agency. Roy created a more complex woman character that literally dwarfed her entitled and oily brother Chacko....as far as I`m concerned, Roy could die happy knowing her first novel is a tour de force.

Echoboom Sahib,
For once I am in agreement with you. I am waiting for a heroine far more exciting than one that has the courage to practice self determination....I am looking for my muse-the desi woman who captures, interrogates, tortures and beats to death frothing fundos....that I think, would excite all of us literary types to no end...much better than mere sexual agency, dont you think?

Such enlightened ideas. Please keep them coming. They are an antidote to…well whatever it is that’s transpiring here.
How predictable and sad that a woman (in this case Fauzia) claims her identity (thereby her sexuality) and on cue enter modesty proselytizing mullahs and their smitten acolytes. But what I really find preposterous is that their argument is being peddled as anything less than a clarion call for patriarchy (as if it was in any danger of crumbling in the first place).
Shorejee, what to do…we are a repressed culture, which insists on categorizing a woman as either a virgin, or whore. And the rest of us who don’t conform to one of the two prescribed labels are to be relegated to the hinterland where we won’t cause too much of a ruckus!

:)…..I await with bated breath for “just for making me blush part deux”. After all, it’s
the chai scene. Does the girl come in, her heart aflutter in anticipation, trying to
precariously balance a chai ki tray? Does she then drop the chai ka cup on one
of the two of you? One can only hope ;).

Bismil,
you writing up to rejection is good except embarking on free and safe sex.
I am looking forward the day , when girls would be bold enough to simply reject the other party.Most of the girls have adopted the wrong way.First they get married and then after 2,3 months they leave the guy on the pretext of his simple.And some of them take revenge
by returning the ring next day.I think it`s the better option.son and his mother would be cautious next time.

Thank you.
I agree with you. In our culture i.e. South Asian; a woman is either a virgin or a whore.

One way this story could have caused an impact were if it had ``And then she woke up.`` as the last line. That would have depicted the sub-consciousness of a girl who furiously dreamed of ``lashing back`` at her society.
However, I do see one aspect of our society, as depicted by this story, that is worth exploring: The over-emphasis, to the point of obsession, that Pakistani society places on marriage. This is obsession is so much so that a girl who for one reason or another does not end up getting married, is looked down upon, and considered something of a failure or a burden. Comments are passed. She feels out of place.
Perhaps Fauzia would not have fled the country if her society had given her the option of a respectable living as a single woman. It is clear that Fauzia did not flee the country because of her desire to get ``higher education``. In fact this story seems to suggest that Fauzia won, not because of her higher education, but because she managed to sleep around and score a John.
This story would have had some depth, and perhaps much more relevance to many Pakistani girls today, if it had suggested that even without getting married to anyone or sleeping around, Fauzia won by finding a MUCH more worthwhile cause (education, career etc) instead of being at the mercy of boys` mothers.
THAT would have given the REAL role model to Pakistani girls in the character of Fauzia!
However, I do see one aspect of our society, as depicted by this story, that is worth exploring: The over-emphasis, to the point of obsession, that Pakistani society places on marriage. This is obsession is so much so that a girl who for one reason or another does not end up getting married, is looked down upon, and considered something of a failure or a burden. Comments are passed. She feels out of place.

Harish Sahib,
If you`ve read my posts on this thread, you`ll have read the post where I wrote that there are some very intelligent and feminist Pakistani men out there-three are related to me, six are not.
