Tail of a Cat!!


*Dedicated to Mayna!!*


When we shifted to our new house some three years ago, a cat used to lurk there.. And since she was snow white with pea green eyes.. we started caling her Mano, she is really a bit arrogant type, she knows she's pretty and all..


Anywho, in less than a year she gave birth to triplets.. 2 were exactly alike, pure white, one had green eyes, the othe had one green and one blue eye.. :) And the third kid was black and white.. Those three lil loonies were so cute, they used to sleep on the window sill, one on top of the other..

Then as they grew big, Mano left them.. We named the kitten with both green eyes "Mayna", the one with a blue and green eye "Shrewd" and the black and white bubloo kitten as "Bhaloo". Bhaloo had greenish grey eyes outlined black as if kajol is applied.. I reckon Bhaloo took after her dad.. ;)

And such nice siblings they were that one day when Bhaloo while sitting on the wall fell into the neighbours wall accidently slipped in their lawn, Shrewd and Mayna hurried along to bring him back, minutes later all three returned..

After a few months Shrewd went along her way, just occassionally popping in to have a sip of milk.. Mayna and Bhaloo stayed. But not for long, one day Bhaloo got lost.. Bhaloo was/is the cutest lil kuddly kat I've ever seen, infact it was Bhaloo who made me like cats.. ---->



Mayna, the sole proprietor was left here, and alhamdulillah she's still here, sometimes she goes on for a weekend.. yeah, she likes to enjoy too, but almost all the time she sleeps.. If she isnt in the lawn she is on one of the window sills, even at night while I'm on PC, she sits beside the window, looks here and there.. She is so home trained that she can eat eggs, brownies, plain cakes, chicken patties, kababs, sheermaals, what not.. :P


Today I saw this cat, somehow she resembles Bhaloo.. who knows, Bhaloo was black n white, this ones greyish..I am trying to pet it, so that it stays here.. :D their eyes are the same and hence, I call it Bhaloo too..And Mayna seemed sort of jealous.. :!!!:

So that was a tail of a cat.. oh, n Mayna wags her tail a lot..kinda like Sylvestor..

Luv ya Mayna!!

Yeah, she was jealous in that last pic, some cat(named Goldilocks cuz of her golden fur) had come to take a stroll.. she's more like Mayna's aunty.. nonetheless, mayna was being rude :!!!:

It’s a Dog’s Life!!

By Anjum Niaz There’s a dog in our neighbourhood that nobody wants. Actually it’s a bitch. Her litter is on the way, I suspect. The big patch of green bordering my home and the busy road in front is no man’s land (read the CDA) but the lucky homeowners have been gifted the land and told to develop it as best as their aesthetic sense permits. Gardens are abloom all around my garden (says who Islamabad will run dry?) which stands out for its pedestrian look, only because my landlord cares not a whit for the patch. But the dog does. She has dug a cradle under the tangled bushes and lies there unobserved by passersby on the street. I worry. What if the puppies — God knows how many — invade my space and arrive uninvited in my garden. Their mother may not live to feed them. She’s doing poorly. When she’s not sleeping, she’s scratching herself all over to get rid of the ticks and fleas that infest her body. The vicious summer heat has parched her. The sun is relentless. Down the road, I watch...

Memoirs of a Lost Soul!!

It was 9 p.m. I was making rotiyaan in the kitchen.. the same way you had taught me back when I was in grade 6th. How could I ever forget that. Kneaded the dough in that very way, and started making the rotiyaan.But Karachi's hot weather and taway ki aag doesn't make the kitchen exactly cool, and hence a drop of sweat trickled down my forhead, moving to my eyelashes, and standing there at the edge, like dew on the edges of a leaf. I unknowingly looked to my left with a smile just to find the grey tiled kitchen staring blankly and coldly at me. I had expected you to be there watching me do the stuff, but how could you be there when you were so far far way, in a place where I hadn't even set foot in. You'd say, 'oh, garmi lag rahi hai na!!' and try to take the rolling pin from me, but I didn't give in so easily. The sweat drop finally dropped mingling with the tear drops. As for me, I was left in the past. You!! who never left me alone. You!! who never even le...

The New Leaf!!

Naveed twisted on the floor, rolled from one side to the other. At times, he folded the pillow in two, and once he just held it in his hand, there were still five freakin' minutes to go before the dial struck 4. Still, quite a lot of time left before the azan for Fajr would echo throughout his town. Naveed, unlike most people in dirty old Karachi, was one of the few who spent the night thinking what happened today. Today wasn't exactly good. Seemed like Abba was really angry. Well, what could he do?? It happened at the breakfast table. Naveed as usual woke up at 12:30 p.m. took a shower, offered Zuhrain , and on to the table, his breakfast table, where as it was Abba's luncheon time. Abba usually took lunch to work, but this afternoon he wasn't feeling good, so came home just in time to see Naveed sit at the table yelling, "Amma, mera anda paratha ???" Abba was furious. "Nido, is this the time for an anda paratha ???" "Aa.. Abbbaaaaa!! Well... ...
