ENGLISH  TRANSLATION

I often remember my grandmother ,though I cannot remember her face , she died when I was too young .
My Grandfather was a litereary personality , although all of our family belong to bussiness class, but even when they use to discontinue educatin of boys when they were in 5th or 6th , he did his B A and then LLB.
even my father ,hardly completed his matrics
My grandfather was very fond of poetry,and our village was near river Chenab , old folks of our family tell us , he used to organize an yearly " Mushaira " noormally during the summer season , at the river bank, and many prominents poets used to attend it.
but then circumstances changed , and he had to shift to Qambar ali khan a place in interior sind , where he set up factory of polishing rice.
My grandmother used to loath these poets , and was of firm opinion that the my grandfathers failure was due to the company of these poets , and althouogh my grandfather was a LLB ,he could not even practice law , although Barister Mohammed Amin was one of his colleagues , and old folks of our family tell that Once even Quaid-e-azam visited Barrister Mohammed Amin, so maybe my grandfather too met Quaid-e-azam because he too was LLB .
God knows better.
any way , my grandmother did not liked poets , and my mother tells me, while in Qambar ali Khan , she once even went to the Railway Station and requested the station master , not to tell any one , where my grandfather lives, especially if that some one looks like a Poet .
though I am not sure, station master would have entertained her request or not , but I am sure he must have had a hearty laugh.
My Grandfather could not stay longer in Kambar Ali Khan , because as my grandmother says,  he was a poet and  an  LLB  advocate , no chance of being a bussinessman  or  being industrialist .
the other factor was my Uncle , he would daily pick up fights with locals , as they would say ..
" Itna bara seth or bus aik Biwi " [Such a rich seth and only one wife..!!] .......that would infuriate him and also my grandmother  .... so eventualy they moved to  Karachi for better or worse.
humari angerzai kamzor hey, koi ghalti ho to dar guzar ker deyjeeay gaa.
My english is weak, to please ignore if there are any mistakes in it.
