وہ بچپن،وہ رشتے،وہ محبت،رشتوں میں احساس،احساس میں خلوص،خلوص میں وہ اپنا پن ،اپناپن کسی اپنے کے لیے،اپنا کوی ماں جاءی پڑوسن،سی،کوءی بہن سے بڑھ کر دوست،

کوءی بہن جو دوست سے بڑھ کر ہو،کاش وہ سب زمانے لوٹ کر کروٹ لیکر ہمارے سامنے ہوں اور زمانہ اپنی زبانی بولے کہ جب سے تم بچپن سے لڑکپن اور جوانی کے ساتھ ہمیں چھوڑ کر اپنی زندگی کی منزلوں کو عبور کر رہے ہو ہم تم بن بہت اداس ہیں،ہمیں کوی اب جیتا نہیں،کوی احساس کرتا نہیں کوی ہمیں اپنی خوشیںوں سے سجاتا نہہیں..... بتاو ہم مانتے ہیں کہ ہم ماضی ٹہھرے تمہارے ہاتھوں ،مگر یہ کیا تمھارے بعد ہمیں کیا اب یادگار کوی نہیں بنانے والا??

اب تو لوگ ماضی کو سجانے کے بجاے خود سے نفرت کرتے ہیں 

بھلا انہیں کون سمجھاءے کہ حسد سے خود کا اندر جلتا ہے 

ماضی کو تو سجایا جاتا ہے دوسروں کی خوشی میں خوش ہو کر

مجھے سجاو مجھے دکھی نہیں بناو 

کل جب تم مجھے یاد کرو گے تو یقین مانو میرے ساتھ تمہیں بھی تکلیف ہو گی 

 میں کبھی نہیں چاہوں گا کہ مجھے غیر  ذمہ دار لوگ دیکھیں 

میں ماضی ہوں مجھے جینے اور جینے دینے والے لوگ ہمیشہ یاد رہتے ہیں میں ماضی ہوں مجھے سجاو 

سنو!!!!

جیسے تم نے مجھے سجایا؀تھا

MARRY HAD A LITTLE LAMB

 MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB.

Mary had one Httle lamb. Mary's father had a hundred

little lambs. Mary's lamb could not stay in the house

with her all of the time ; it stayed out in the meadow,

with the other little lambs and sheep, most of the time.

When Mary went to look at all the lambs playing

together, she could not tell surely which was her own

until she called, " Pet, Pet ! " As soon as she spoke, her

lamb would come bounding toward her, and would go with

her wherever she ,went. When she had to go home to go

to bed, she would shut the gate between her and her

lamb, and then kiss the lamb's woolly head through the

bars, telling him, " Good night ; be sure to be awake when

I go to school in the morning." A part of Mary's path to

school was beside the meadow, and the lamb always went

as far as he could with her ; when she turned the corner so he could go no further, he always put his head through the

fence for Mary to give him a good-by hug and a kiss, and

as long as he could see her he would cry "baa, baa" ; but

when she was quite out of sight, he would go to play with

the other lambs, no doubt thinking that a hundred lambs

were almost as good playfellows as one little girl.

One day all the sheep were taken from the meadow and

driven down the road past the schoolhouse, the lambs

being left alone. Mary was afraid something might happen

to her lamb, left with so many frisky little creatures with-

out a mother-sheep to tell them not to turn heels over head. Mary's father had told her she might bring her lamb

down past the schoolhouse at noon and see what they

were doing with the old sheep ; so Mary let the lamb fol- low her to school in the morning, though her father did

not mean she should do so. It really was no harm, and I am sorry " it made the children laugh and play, " so that

the teacher had to turn the lamb out of doors. But just as soon as school closed, Mary ran out, and hugging the

woolly little lamb, said, " You dear, patient little Pet ! now

we will take a walk "

; and away they went down the road

toward the river. Very soon they heard all sorts of baas, —

big, coarse baas, pretty, soft baas, and coarse and soft baas

all mingled together. [Children can easily produce the

sound.]

It was a strange sight that Mary and Pet saw. Some

men were carrying the sheep into the water and were

washing their warm woolly coats in the clear, cool river.

Mary asked her father if she might wash her lamb, and her

father said she might wash his face and see how he liked

that. Mary took off her shoes and stockings and waded

into the water. Mary's lamb splashed in after her, and

when his face had been neatly washed, Mary's father said

the day was so warm that she might wash all of her lamb's

wool. What fun they had ! The lamb enjoyed it quite as much as Mary did. Mary was afraid the dust would get

into the damp wool and make her lamb look more untidy

than if he had not been washed, so she took off her apron,

and putting the lamb's fore-legs through the sleeves, started

home ; but the lamb would not stir a step while dressed in that way, and Mary took the sleeves off his legs and tied

them in a pretty bow-knot under his chin ; this seemed to

please him much better, for he now trotted briskly ahead of her a part of the way home. I wish you had been at that

schoolhouse when Mary and her lamb went past ; the

teacher and all the children were eating their luncheon out

under the trees, and they laughed as you or I would laugh,

to see a lamb dressed in a girl's apron.

When all the old sheep had been in the sunny meadow

a few days after their bath in the river, their thick coats

of wool had become quite dry, and they were taken to the

barn, where the farmers cut off their wool every summer.

Mary and her lamb went too. Mary said her lamb ought

to be taught to keep very quiet while being sheared, and

her father said the best-behaved lambs always made the

best sheep ; so Mary taught her lamb to keep its feet quite

still while she played that she cut its wool all off to make

herself a dress. Some of the wool from a mother-sheep

was made into a ball for Mary to hang round Pet's neck

so she could tell him from the other lambs, and Mary had

a dress, a hood, a pair of mittens, and some stockings made

from the wool that was cut from the sheep's backs that

day. Mary took a pair of scissors and clipped a tiny lock

of wool from Pet's back, and tying it with a blue ribbon,

put it in a box marked : " Pet's first wool ; washed and cut

off by Mary. "

Spanish Tortillas

 

Spanish Tortillas 

SERVES 6

7 tbsps. extra-virgin olive oil

1 1/2 cups thinly sliced sweet onion (about 1 large onion)

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper

5 medium white or Yukon gold potatoes

6 large eggs

Heat 6 tbsps. olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions,

salt and pepper and lower the heat. Cook gently for 18–20 minutes, until the

onions have softened and turned light brown.

In the meantime, peel and thinly slice the potatoes and season them with

salt and pepper. Layer the potatoes over the caramelized onions in the

skillet and cook on low heat for 25–30 minutes longer until the potatoes are

cooked through and the onions are golden brown. Whisk the eggs together

and stir them into the potato onion mixture. Remove from the heat.

Heat the remaining 1 tbsp. olive oil in a medium skillet (preferably non-

stick) over medium heat. Add the potato/egg mixture. Smooth the top,

lower the heat and cover the pan. Continue to cook for 8–10 minutes, until a

crust has formed on the bottom. Take a plate and hold it over the tortilla in

the skillet. Carefully flip the tortilla onto the plate and then immediately

slide it back into the pan. Cook for 1 minute longer, then remove from the

heat and allow it to cool before serving.

FRENCH OMELETTE

French OMELETTE

•  2–3 large eggs
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp. unsalted butter, plus 1 tsp. softened
• 1 tsp. chopped flat-leaf parsley (or chives)

Blend or whisk the eggs with salt and pepper. In a small skillet, melt 1 tbsp.

butter over medium heat until the foam subsides. Pour the eggs into the

center of the pan and begin stirring them immediately for 30 seconds. Stop

stirring, tilt the pan as necessary to cover the bottom with egg and allow the

omelet to set up for 30 seconds. Remove the pan from the heat and allow it

to continue cooking for 1 minute, until the top is still just glossy but set.

If adding filling, spoon the filling down the center of the omelet. Run a

spatula around the edge or shake the pan to loosen the omelet. Fold a third

of the omelet as if folding a letter. Invert the pan onto a plate to complete

the final fold of the omelet. Brush the top with 1 tsp. softened unsalted

butter and sprinkle on the parsley to serve.
