Life
Life is a very big problem.
A problem so big that a person gets destroyed while solving it.
But this is not the solution.
At least people like me can't solve it.
I don't know what God has created this world with his thoughts.
Life
Life is such a beautiful thing.
Every day new.
Surprises, achievements, ups and downs.
God has created such a magnificent package in the form of life.
But there is one tension in this magnificent package.
Woman.
Woman's eye name is frailty, stupidity, stubbornness, selfishness, hypocrisy.
One tension doesn't end, but four new tensions start.
The water is over in the tank.
You should have paid a little attention.
You should have filled the water in a vessel at least.
What would I have filled the water in?
I have less work in the day.
I have been wandering in the market for six hours with mother in search of cheap clothes.
Sometimes this market, sometimes that market.
I don't know from where mother remembered to give clothes.
When she knows that we can't do it, then don't give it.
Relatives' marriages become a torment.
That too on the last day of the month.
But you have put me in trouble by filling the water.
What should I do now?
I'll cheer you and give you some of the clean
clothes in last two days, The deal will end in two days.
Your marriage is here too.
I have made today's table my last lesson.
You ask him?
You don't have to be momentum.
You ask.
I'm not momentum.
You know how pain bibli prochaine, after surround.
Zahroon, I'm looking for you in the room and you're sitting here.
Hmm?
Please come and have dinner, I have to leave after that.
What?
You have to drop me.
I'm tired of your driving. Find someone else.
Please, don't talk nonsense. I hate people who complain like women.
How are you talking to me?
Do you want to eat or not? If you don't want to eat, then stay here.
Do you want to eat or not?
Okay, I'm coming.
Come quickly, I'll get late.
If I had to, then why didn't God make me a man?
Why did he make me a woman?
But if he had made me a man, then what work would I have done?
The electricity bill has increased again.
These people are too much.
I'm so careful and yet...
If they can, then they should send Karan along with the bill.
So that the person dies there as soon as they touch the bill.
These people are too much.
They have sent so much bill.
Be careful my child.
When I woke up in the morning, the light of the bathroom was on and I turned it off.
Mom, this is Shahreela's fault.
She is used to going to the bathroom without turning off the light.
Mom, be very careful.
If you turn off all the lights at home, then the bill will come again.
They don't send the bill by giving electricity.
They send it with a bill.
I don't know what you're saying.
I'll have to pay the bill.
Where did you get this concert?
Hmm...
It was a client's club function.
And no one was insisting otherwise I wasn't interested.
But I think you should keep these concerts aside.
Your priority should be your studies.
I've been listening to this dialogue since childhood.
Or else at least change this sentence.
The day you change it, I'll change the sentence as well.
I always come first.
I never let you down.
Sure.
But that too because of me.
Oh wow.
Fine.
You can take credit for this as well.
That's right.
If I hadn't been after you, would you have studied?
Mom, you're being a little unfair with me.
I'll bring the best grades in this house.
In fact, let's leave this house for the whole family.
Come on, Mr. Show-Off has started again.
Please finish your food quickly and drop me.
If you say so, I'll put it in the tiffin.
I'll eat it on the way.
Mom, look at him. He's showing off so much.
He asked me to drop him to a friend's house.
He has become such an issue.
This isn't an issue of dropping him to a friend's house.
This is an issue of dropping him somewhere every day.
Hmm...
Look, you don't need to fight over this.
The driver will be here in a couple of days.
Everything will be fine.
Dad, I don't have any problem in taking the car.
Mom would be tensed if I took the car.
Obviously.
You drive such a rash car.
What will happen if you don't get scared?
She won't take it.
Rash?
She drives cars like a truck driver.
Hmm...
Do one thing. Take her in your dowry.
At least a year will pass.
Are you making fun of me or making fun of me?
I'm giving you advice.
Sincerely.
Please keep your sincerity with you.
I'm getting late. Let's go.
Go. I'm coming.
Enough. Let's go.
Today was our school's inspection day.
We were so busy from morning to evening that we couldn't even eat.
I only had a cup of tea.
Mom, you too.
I don't know why schools keep so much work on their heads.
That's why I think that no matter what a person does,
he should do it with complete honesty and responsibility.
Because according to me,
one shouldn't bring in the lawful and the unlawful.
But mom,
I've already decided.
I don't want to work.
Tell me one thing.
Is there any way to enjoy life without working?
There is only one way to enjoy life without working.
There is only one way.
Which is marriage.
And how do you know that there will only be fun after marriage?
Marriage is only slavery.
Anyways, there is no such thing.
There is no such thing, mom.
Marriage is nothing more than the slavery of a husband.
Why do you say such things?
I get worried for no reason.
Oh, I'm not telling you to get worried.
I'm just telling you.
Why do you keep thinking about such things all the time?
It's not the opposite for me.
Tell me, what about your admission to the university?
It will take fifteen days.
Thank God.
One problem will be less.
Don't expect too much, mom.
I know how to get admissions there.
How?
There are big contests.
Rich people's children study there.
There is nothing on merit.
You insisted, so I gave the admission test.
But I know, I don't want to get admissions there.
You have such a negative thinking.
What's wrong with negative thinking?
I'm telling you the truth.
What's the use of making a thoughtless call for no reason?
I'm just eating lentils.
By the way, a person should never be hopeless.
Besides, fate is not written on the merit list.
Nor is it written on the hands of a person.
The real thing is that a person should try to change his life.
To change the situation.
And it's good that you tried to get admission.
It doesn't matter if you are an admission or not.
Just hope to God that everything will be fine.
By the will of God.
What's the use of gathering false hopes and living a life for no reason?
But there are miracles.
Where are miracles?
I don't know the exact location but there are.
Miracles are only in defense and clifton.
They aren't in Liari, Kimari and Malir.
But we live in Nazmabad.
We still have a chance.
We have a chance.
Come on, finish your dinner.
Farhan, you get married and go to Farhan.
Then I'll miss you.
Is it necessary to mention Farhan in between everything?
Wow.
You care so much about your future husband.
You can't even listen to him.
You should just mention him.
I think you're obsessed with him.
And why would I be obsessed with Farhan?
Ever since you got married, you don't see any other person in the world.
And I don't know what you're afraid of.
Everyone in the world is after Farhan.
If someone asks, why the hell would anyone be obsessed with Farhan?
Don't call me bald.
If you had four hairs, you wouldn't have become bald.
Really?
Do you even count the hairs?
Enough.
I swear.
I don't understand.
How can a poor person be so helpless before marriage?
If he's so scared of you before marriage, I don't know what you'll do to him after marriage.
The same thing your wife will do to you?
Yes.
I wouldn't have brought such a smart wife.
Yes.
You wouldn't have brought such a smart wife.
You would have brought Allah's cow, who would sit at home all day and bark.
Barking is better than talking.
After marriage, even that barking will make you talk.
All men are the same.
All men are the same, but Farhan is different.
Of course.
He is.
Let's go.
A lot of work has been done in the house.
What happened? I feel fine.
You feel fine from outside, right?
A lot of work has been done from inside.
Just look at this wall.
How is it from the ceiling?
It's a small house.
Small things keep coming out.
If there was a little work, I would have done it myself.
I wouldn't have told you.
A lot of work has been done.
This wall, this wall has been ruined.
The wall of that room has been ruined.
Sometimes I feel that the wall shouldn't go anywhere.
Which room's wall?
The wall of the kids.
The kitchen sink has also been ruined.
The water has started to spill.
The floor of the bathroom has started to break.
And this wiring has to be changed.
I mean, I'll prepare a long and wide fence.
One and a half million rupees will be spent in this.
No, no. It's not about one and a half million.
It will be done in fifty to sixty.
I'll put something in it too.
Rafia, when you have money, get it fixed.
When you come to me, I'll get something done too.
I only have five to ten thousand rupees.
I don't have the ability to get so much fixed.
If I had, I wouldn't have told you.
I have the ability.
You're amazing.
I got it fixed from the upper portion of my house the other day.
It's her debt.
That's why I was telling you that when you were getting the house fixed, you could have fixed it here too.
The workers were busy.
Rafia, when I get my house done, why do you think about this house?
Tell me. Why?
I hope that you will consider this house as your own.
I'll get something fixed done here too.
But as always, I only act stupid by telling you.
You've become a habit.
Start fighting over small things.
What happened?
Listen to it yourself. What happened?
Why are you fighting?
I'm a jobless man.
Mother had asked father to fix the house.
Father refused.
What was the need to ask mother?
Doesn't she know father?
She never got the opportunity to get any fruits.
We'll get the house fixed.
Three children and one wife.
It's their responsibility.
Yes. You only have three children and one wife.
We aren't a part of your life.
I'll leave now.
What's the use?
Keep this in the kitchen and iron my clothes.
I have to go to aunt. She's giving me the committee.
Okay.
Yes.
I told her I'd tell her.
Hello auntie.
Hello. Just a minute.
How are you?
I'm very well. Where's Zaroom?
Where's Zaroom?
I think he's inside. He was practicing music.
I've been waiting for him for a long time.
I'll bring his news right away.
Okay.
Yes.
I've been waiting for you for a long time.
And you're wasting your time here.
Hello.
Can you give it a rest please?
Give me the phone. I can't hear you.
Why do you always remember your guitar practice with commitment from me?
Commitment?
Which commitment?
Zaroom, don't be absurd. You know what I'm talking about.
Asmara, give me fifteen minutes. I have to waste the whole day with you.
You make plans with me and call it wasting the day.
Give me some time too.
Oh God. Whenever I start doing something, some woman comes and stops me.
Which woman?
You.
You, Sara or mother.
Right. Thank God. I thought some other woman came into your life.
Anyway, we have to go. We're getting late. Come on. Get up.
Come on.
Give me some more trouble in my life.
Come on.
Why does my every work get stuck?
What got stuck?
I was writing a diary. The ball point got over.
Then take another one.
There was only one.
Take it from my bag. Ask Shahneela.
This is what happens with me all the time.
Whenever I'm working, there is some problem.
My luck is bad.
Take this.
Whenever a man's ball point gets over, he starts calling his luck bad.
You're too much Kashif. I'll get it from inside.
It's a very nice place.
Where do they have chips here? They're Belgian. They're supposed to be very famous.
No, I've never tried that.
Although you did mention this before as well and I told you to remind me.
You're also very useless.
Is it necessary to remind you of everything?
So what's the issue in this?
I mean, mother, father, everything is there to remind me.
I think you should also do some work in life.
Work makes a person great.
Hmm.
You people are trying to make me great.
Have you ever concentrated on yourself? Do something yourself.
I don't know. Sometimes I feel that I'm useless because of all the comforts and luxuries in my life.
There should be some discomfort in life. There should be a challenge.
Otherwise life will go flat.
What's a life without hardship and sorrow?
I'm very surprised to see people who only want peace and comfort in life.
How can you live a life like that?
Okay listen, I'm very hungry. Let's order something.
Yeah, enough of philosophy.
Let's order.
Here you go.
Didn't mother get late today?
Yes, she had an after school meeting with the teachers.
I called her two hours ago.
She said that she would be late.
This teaching is such a boring job.
I don't know why mother doesn't get a proper job by doing MSc chemistry.
After school job is like this, Kashf.
What is this half day?
She comes back after changing two buses.
She comes back at five.
Then she comes home and teaches the kids.
It would have been better if someone would have worked in the office.
At least they would have got some comfort.
They have a habit of working hard since the beginning.
If I had to work so hard in life, I would have gone mad.
A life partner like father and a burden of responsibilities in life, a person cannot go mad.
Mother?
Father went to Murree with his family.
Who told you?
I saw it on Jio news.
Aunt Safiya told me.
Father got the money immediately to go to Murree.
And mother has been asking for the maintenance of the house since so many days.
They didn't get the money then.
Are you asking me?
This is too much.
At least don't treat samosas like this. Eat.
God has not done justice with us, Sidra.
What is God's fault in this?
It doesn't mean that we should give blessings to God for his justice.
It's God's world. He has made everything.
If we don't give him blessings, then who else will?
Don't have any influence on father.
Yes, two blessings, four times a day.
You have kept God engaged all day.
You talk to God for 24 hours.
But you report more than you talk.
And that too wrong.
By the way, I think you should have been an angel of God.
But the person on whom you would have been assigned a duty, you should have done that.
Okay, stop eating my brain.
Do what you were going to do.
You eat samosas.
Eat.
The holidays will be over.
You go to university and then go home.
It's the same chicken thing.
Of course.
That's the thing.
And holidays are also very long.
Yes.
Uncle Abrahar is here.
How are you uncle?
I'm absolutely fine.
Zaroor, you tell me, where are you wandering?
Wandering?
Where can I wander?
Do I give you permission?
Yes, yes.
You follow your father's instructions.
You follow your father's instructions, right?
I have no objection to following his instructions.
If he takes time to follow his instructions.
Great.
Did you listen to your nephew?
Did you see the drama of his obedience and obedience?
I'm watching it very well.
Just watch it father.
Now they have got a chance.
They will expose me in front of you like a mother.
So son, make yourself right.
Leave this wandering.
I'm waiting for your son to come to the university.
I will make him absolutely right.
You will make him right who I couldn't make him right for 22 years.
This is a matter of our own talent.
You don't know your nephew.
Nephew?
I know my nephew's father very well.
Really?
Yes.
Then tell me.
Look, it looks like he's talking about his father.
What?
Junaid, you don't worry about him.
Just let him come to the university.
I will cut his head off.
And I will make him a responsible person who doesn't have responsibility.
You don't worry.
I will prove to be a responsible and useful Pakistani from the university.
Not useful, son.
Karamat Pakistani.
Leave it uncle.
Who knows those words?
It's the same thing.
Look.
Did you see what he was saying?
Greetings mother.
Greetings son.
Are you really late today?
Yes son.
I stopped at the meat shop on the way.
I thought of cooking meat today.
But everything is on fire in the market.
I waited for an hour for my turn.
And the vegetable shop delayed in giving me vegetables.
I understand that meat is expensive.
But this vegetable is expensive every second or third day.
Is this a good thing?
By the way mother, I have figured out one thing.
What is that son?
That we have become more poor with the passing of time.
What?
What is this?
Don't you have time to think about anything else?
I'm telling the truth.
Is there any improvement in our life?
There has been improvement, son.
You three are studying.
You will be able to stand on your feet in some time.
Then you will be able to live in your own house.
Isn't this improvement?
You can never understand me.
You make everything so simple.
That this will happen, that will happen.
But whatever you say, it never happens.
What happened now?
Father took his family to Murree.
How did you find out?
They live in the neighborhood, mother.
They find out everything.
By the way, why are some people so selfish and shameless?
Not just some people, but why are all men like this?
Apart from treachery, disloyalty and wickedness, don't they have any other work?
All men are not like this, son.
And it's a bad thing.
They don't say it like that.
Then what should I say?
Why are all fathers like this?
Go and bring water for me.
You always do this.
You never answer me.
I can't believe that.
That's being silly.
You should have told him that.
Why should I have told him that?
He is always like this.
Saqib, I believe that.
He makes every girl his fiancée.
He doesn't have the courage to introduce a girl as a girlfriend.
If he can't do that, then he doesn't go out with girls.
Not everyone can be like you.
Brave.
Here, meet my girlfriend.
I'm taking her here, I'm taking her there.
Meet my girlfriend.
Nice to meet you.
Seriously.
I don't believe you.
Why can't you understand?
I'm a decent guy and every girl doesn't have to be a girlfriend.
She can be your sister.
She can be your friend.
Right?
See, this is called ignorance.
I won't say anything.
Fine, fine.
You are being loyal, Nibha.
Please.
By the way, you shouldn't talk about this.
Because you have all the symptoms of having a suspicious wife.
And I pity the guy who marries you.
Really?
I don't think so.
You have all the symptoms of having a suspicious wife.
And I pity the guy who marries you.
Really?
Thank you for giving me such a big compliment.
Thank you so much.
You're welcome.
Don't mention it.
You've been hungry since this evening?
Yes, I didn't eat at the university.
Put the bread as well.
Give it to my share's mother.
Mother says give it to my share, Kashf.
You say give it to my share's mother.
I will only listen to mother.
I don't want to eat.
Why?
There is meat in our house after so many days.
And mother must have worked so hard because of this one day's meat.
She must have lost her mind.
First with the school kids, then with the tuition kids.
I don't want to eat.
Kashf.
Do you know I find meat poisonous?
Mother forgets all her work to feed her two kids in a month.
I had to change the frame of the mirror, but he didn't.
The strap of the bag broke.
So instead of buying a new one, he repaired it.
Whenever I look at the bottle, I see my mother's mirror, the strap of the bag and the broken shoe of her feet.
It's enough for me.
Fazala?
Yes?
Where is Tara?
She has gone out somewhere.
Where has she gone out?
Junaid, she is not a child anymore.
I will ask her where she is going on such small things.
Look, if she leaves at night, it is her duty to inform us.
And you know very well how the situation in the city is.
She is not alone.
She must be with her friends.
It must be Farhan.
She has gone with someone.
We should know who she is and where she is.
What do you want, Junaid?
Should I ask such questions to the kids and they taunt me about the generation gap?
Look Ghazala, it is our duty to tell the kids about the good and the bad.
And if we get taunted in this attempt, then what is wrong in it?
Sara is a very smart girl, Junaid.
And I don't think she needs to be told what to do.
I have always taught her how to manage her own money.
Now you want me to negate everything?
Should I criticize her on small things and raise objections?
I'm sorry. I can't do that.
And I'm getting late. Bye.
What was the need, Kashif, to give mother tension?
What tension did I give mother?
What was the need to tell mother that father went to Murree?
With the family.
If I hadn't told you, you should have told me.
What sin did I commit by telling you?
At least don't fight with me.
I'm not fighting. I'm talking.
Mother, listen to me.
At least don't fight with me.
I'm not fighting. I'm talking.
Is mother asleep?
She just went to sleep.
She was talking to herself for a long time.
And then there is a visit of an education officer at school.
Mother has made herself a machine.
She has no sense of anything other than school.
Not even her own.
Our home runs from school, Kashif.
If it wasn't for the school, how would mother raise three daughters?
You know about father.
Yes. But mother doesn't deserve all this.
Sacrifices and sacrifices are good things in life.
But it's not good to be so selfless that a person forgets himself.
They don't have any other choice apart from being selfless.
We already have a relationship.
Selfish.
What if she becomes selfish too?
Then it would be better not to have this selfish relationship.
Please don't talk like this to mother.
You know that despite having so much, she still cares about father.
I don't understand why this is.
When father doesn't care about mother, then mother should also care about him.
Leave all this. I came here to make you feel better.
And you're talking about the same tension again.
I'm in a good mood.
What does my mood have to do with it?
And what difference does it make if it doesn't get better?
When everything else is bad, then what do I have to do with a good mood?
At least when your mood gets better, then mother's worries get lessened.
You know Kashf, she loves you so much.
She shouldn't have.
She ruined her life for me for no reason.
Her life got ruined because of me and Shanila.
Nothing happened because of you.
Nothing happened.
Why? I'm also her daughter.
If both of you are under pressure, then I'm under the same pressure.
And if both of you are burdened, then I'm under the same big burden.
Shall we go? I think we should go now.
I haven't even started my mid-trick.
Do you have any work at home?
If I don't have work, then it doesn't mean that I don't go home.
I didn't say that.
I was just saying something.
Did you tell mother that you're with me?
You too Farhan.
You ruined my mood by saying such things.
It must be like this in your house that you have to give permission before going everywhere.
Our parents are very liberal.
We have a lot of freedom.
I have a lot of freedom too.
But Sara, I did tell you before leaving the house.
I mean I prefer to.
That's why I was telling you.
I will give you this freedom after marriage.
I won't ask you any question and I won't worry about you at all.
Okay?
No thank you.
I think this lifestyle suits me.
And I won't mind at all if you don't worry about me.
Don't worry about me.
Farhan, I can't be a wife who stands at the door and waits.
Why?
Is there something wrong in that?
Look, we have seen in our entire life that mother never asked father for permission before going somewhere.
And father didn't even question her.
And you think this is right?
Isn't it?
Waiter, please bring the bill.
Oh Kashf, what are you doing?
Are you still sleeping?
Get up.
You're getting late.
Get up dear.
Come with me.
We'll go to the bus stop together.
I'll go to school ahead.
You take the university bus.
I'll take it mother.
Get up dear.
You're getting late.
Get up.
Good girl.
Are you up?
Mother, look at me.
Open your eyes.
Yes.
I'll serve you breakfast.
You get ready.
Come quickly.
You're getting late.
Don't sleep again.
First the chain and then the van.
Then I'll catch two buses and reach the university.
I don't know when my fate will end.
Here.
I don't even want to find these shoes.
Sidra, you're wearing my shoes again.
Look at the other side of the bed.
Quickly.
Hurry up dear.
Get up.
It's so late.
I would have picked it up on time.
I hope no one realizes.
I picked it up three times.
Mother picked it up twice.
Even after that if you're getting late, it's your fault.
Let's go.
But first have breakfast.
Mother, we don't have time for breakfast.
Please hurry up.
Will you go empty handed?
We're living our lives empty handed.
Don't disappoint me.
Mother, please hurry up.
I don't feel like eating anything.
Come and have tea.
Nothing will happen if you stop eating.
Nothing will happen anyway.
Give me the papers.
I'll take this with me.
Mother, I want to eat something on the way.
Where will you eat?
You won't eat on the way.
You'll be starving in the city.
Come on.
Keep this in your bag.
Shadiqa dear, close the door.
Yes mother.
Get up sister.
Thank you.
Kashif, hurry up dear.
Otherwise the bus will leave.
Give this to me.
Call me as soon as you reach the university.
Otherwise I'll be worried.
I will.
I wanted to go to the university with you.
But I didn't get a leave.
Mother, I'm an adult.
Nothing will happen.
But I'm a mother.
Mothers are like this.
Worrying about everything.
What happened?
Oh God.
Your shoe broke.
I've been telling you for so many weeks that your shoe is going to break.
You can buy a new one.
In fact you can buy two pairs.
You're talking nonsense.
It's the end of the month.
I'll buy it next month.
You'll go to school like this.
With broken shoes.
What difference does it make?
I'll get a moustache in the wedding.
I'll get another one from home.
No dear.
It's getting late.
The bus will leave.
Mother, if someone sees us going to work barefoot like this, what will they think?
What will they think?
That I'm walking barefoot.
My shoe is broken in my hand.
That's what they'll say.
Let it be.
Don't worry.
I'll get it fixed.
Otherwise I'll send the watchman.
Okay?
Hurry up.
Sometimes I feel so bad in life.
There's no limit to it.
This is what mother has done all her life.
She's living her life with broken shoes in her hand.
Kashif.
The bus will leave.
Come quickly.
Come on.
