Great character, this sufi saint.He had the balls to be himself, even unto death.I hope `Temporal` will stop dreaming about the days karachi had `boy-brothels` as he calls them and end the agony he`s goin` through.Just GO BACK and open one and ENJOY!!!., is what i would say to him.hehe.Or, maybe he should move to Mumbai.The entire city just smells of sex, any kind of sex.

Asif:

...this caught my attention for two reason:

In those days travellers went to India via Sindh and he too took that path. When he got to Thatta, he fell in love with a Hindu boy. He was so lost in love that he forgot his own self but became completely oblivious to his trade too! The historians are divided as to the exact location of this incident. Ali Quli Khan Daghistani places this incident in Surat [3]. Azad Bilgrami has said that it took place in Azimabad, Patna. Sher Khan Lodhi writes, “In the town of Thatta for trade, he fell ardently in love with a Hindu boy[4].”

...if he is passing through Sindh...then Thatta is the same as present day city of that name about 60 kms north of Karachi....

Surat at the head of Tapti is way south...it was a leading port at one time...and could be an entry point if he was travelling by ship

Azimabad, Patna is way way west

also, Karachi at one point boasted of best indian boy-brothels...see accounts of the area in sir richard burtons accounts...

digression: burton was `documented` for some of the reports he filed on that subject...he mentions he was taken off sindh scouting and was sent south...
