Assalam-o-Alaikum,
Hope you are enjoying the best of health. I am also enjoining

Last week you dropped me a letter in which youve invited me
to join you on a picnic point. Truly I am very much in the favour
of this invitation but due to an appointment with my family
physician I cannot give my time to you. I do believe that we

My ambition in life may sound odd to you. I like to become a
comedian. It is not an easy task to become a comedian. Only
one person out of million can become a good comedian. People
in our country belonging to different class and age live a very
depressed life. All have problems and they give me a gloomy
look. I I can become a comedian and make my people cheerful
or bring some happy moments in their sad life. i think I would
have really rendered great service to my nation. After Lehri,
we have two such people like Moen Akhter and Omer Sharif in
our country who made sad peoples life cheerful. I always
dream to become a great comedian and pray to God to help me
fulfill my goal in life.
A Street Accident
I read about road accidents in newspaper every day. They
bring agony to our mind and also to the relatives of victims,
but till the day I had not seen an accident with my own eyes.
By God what a terrible sight it was!
It was in the short hour of one evening I was going along Burns
Road to buy a pen for my examination which was going to
commence next week. At Denso Hall I was waiting for the
traffic to clear off so that I could safely cross the road. A bus
was also running along the road and it was trying to overtake a
private car a head of it. All of a sudden driver lost the control
of steering and rammed against a horse carriage. The driver of
the hackney carriage fell down and the bus crushed him. The
passengers in the hackney carriage escaped death with some
injuries. The horse was also badly wounded and it was looking
for his master. The injured were rushed immediately to a
nearby hospital.
People gathered at the scene of accident. Some showing
sympathy for the victim, some abusing the bus driver and
some advising others to be very careful while on a road.
I left the scene with a sorrowful heart for the driver of the
carriage who unfortunately lost his life in that accident.
