Before Eid-ul-Azha, i.e. Bakra-Eid, there suddenly spread news in the Pathan section of Banaras colony that the Mahajirs were running towards them.
Fearing a clash, the Pathans closed their doors and sat down with guns on their roofs. But nothing happened.
Later on, when it was inquired from the Mahajirs as to why they had been running towards the Pathans, they replied:
وہ تو ہماری گائے بھاگ گئی تھی۔ ہم اس کا پیچھا کر رہے تھے۔
رقص کرتی ہے گردشِ دوراں
در کھلے ہیں شراب خانوں کے
چائے پینے کو اب کہاں جائیں
بند ہوٹل ہوئے پٹھانوں کے
A couple of weeks ago, my Mom was angry at the maasi, Parveen, for trying to sneak phenyl bottles away to her own house.
It started when Parveen came to ask my Mom for a new phenyl bottle and said that the previous one was empty. My Mom became suspicious and she checked out the place where the bottle in use was kept. And there it was, a brand new bottle filled to the top, in open view. Naturally, she became furious at Parveen for asking for a new bottle when there was already one present. A long phadda ensued during which my Mom verbally clobbered the maasi top, left, right and bottom and the maasi kept trying to fight back but to no avail. Verdict: Parveen was trying to sneak bottles away and was a bloody thief.

Now, in light of the recent happenings in Karachi, and also having heard the tales of Pathans misbehaving with women and abducting whole buses full of them from Korangi in the wake of Benazir’s brilliant decision to wave at her supporters by appearing through the sunroof, her opinion about Pathans and Afghanis isn’t really a flattering one. Our house is located in a predominantly MQM area but an ANP (Pathan) stronghold is not far off.
She was talking to my phuppo on the phone today about the situation in Karachi.
During the conversation, she remarked: “If Pathans ever attack our home, I have two phenyl bottles ready. I’ll drink one and give the other one to my daughter to protect us from their misbehavior.”
You know me… 
“What if Parveen has snuck those bottles away?”
