18. RIGHT WORDS AT THE RIGHT TIME

Ineeded to go to Nagpur for my studies and went to Muqaddas Maula for raza mubarak. Mein yeh moulana ne kahyu ke maney hostel ma rehvu padse. Muqaddas Maula immediately turned to Shk Ebrahim Yamani nearby and said ke Shk Mohammedbhai ne Nagpur phone karo ane aap yeh em farmayu ke mara ghar na dikra wahaan padva ne aavse, tamein ehno khayaal raakhjo. Look at the selection of words. ‘Mara ghar na dikra’ and ‘khayaal raakhjo’. The result was that Shk Mohammedbhai was my host for four years. He treated me like a family member. He would keep track of my every little need. I would be expected to report where I would be going and what time I would be returning at night. During my stay in Nagpur, Moulana came twice to the city. Shaikh Mohammedbhai jem potaana family na members ne lai jaai qadambosi na leedhey, ej misal mane pan lai jaai and Moulana would smile and say ke maara farman na vaaste Mazhar ne ghar na logo mutaabik kadambosi karva ne laayo chhey? - Bhai Mazhar Karachiwala, Surat
