Before Partition 4

Some of the more sayings of yesteryears are as under.;

Buayn nu jandre te Bharyan nu chandre wala pa ke mil wande hun

Meaning of above phrase is that ," Birds of feather flock together" or the bad person comes in touch with another bad person no matter where he is just like a lock always finds a door.Here Jandre means locks and buay means the doors.During my child hood we used to go Lohi festival asking for some grains corn maize seeds and Raveri etc and used to sing like this as under;
De mei de kale kute nu de
KALA KUTA DE DAM\WAN TERE JIVAN MUJI GAYIN
GAYIN MARA PUD MEIYE DO SEIR DANE KUD;

wHEN ANY HOUSE USED TO DENY TO GIVE SOME THING FOR LOHI FESTIVAL WE USED TO SING LIKE THIS AS UNDER ;---
HUKA BEYI HUKA AEI GHAR BHUKA
During Lohi festival children,men and ladies used to sing and distribute the corn maiz seeds , Ravri and gur and ground nuts. The most popular song was like this ;;; Sundri mundri aye ho tera koan vichara ho dula bhati wala ho,Dule dhi vayei ho saer shakar paei ho ------"

It was saying that I heard that in Hindus chota neyi hona chaiye as all the elders tell the younger to do the work.In muslims it is the duty of elders to do the work and it is said that while elder brother is there younger is not supposed to do the work. These were traditions I dont know how far these are correct or feasible
Let us go in the kitchen no fasilities as that of modern age were avaailable in those days .I just remember the earthen pots , handia alliminium utensils and some degchi and thalies and katoris and chamamchs herth was of six bricks stacked in the saquare with one side open.To fire the chula it was a tough job .My mother used to blow air from her mouth so that the wood could catch fire .After the food was ready we all sisters and brothers sat around the chula and took the food in the kitchen It was the duty all to wash hands before entering in the kitchen sit and remember the god before taking first loaf of roti.With the dedication of our mother we all were brought up and were happy.Here I have become emotional and pay a sharandhjli to my mother and may God give her peace in Heaven.
