A high-pitched sound of the drums and Dholes had made the village noisy and disturbed. The ferocity of the sound was so strong that it could be heard even in the faraway places also.
Nek Mohammad was playing the game of stick on the beat of these traditional musical instruments. He loved it from the bottom of his heart. Very a few had that kind of courage and strength to surpass him.
When he grew weary and exhausted, he handed over the stick to one of the young players. He resumed the play with the same force and vigour.
Nek Mohammad’s happiness was no bounds. There was a triumphant smile on his face as he had conquered the entire world. He was happy to think that as our forefathers had kept this treasure alive, we would also preserve it for our posterity. When we were gone, then, these youths would take it forward with the same zeal and passion.
There were many old and young villagers, gathered around them, just to encourage and rejuvenate them. But there were also not dearth of such people who were dead against this play. They took it as an un-Islamic. They would not take part in it, nor ever encouraged their children to do

    There is an almost imperceptible line between friend and enemy. In the words of Henry David Thoreau, “[T]rue friendship is never serene" (Brainy Quote). In fact, the more entwined two individuals become, the greater the possibility that complications such as insecurity, jealousy and competition can arise. Friendship fulfills man’s basic need for love and security; however, it also can involve an unequal balance of needs and wants. In Khaled Hosseini’s seminal work The Kite Runner, Amir and Hassan, two main characters, grow up in pre-Taliban era Kabul, Afghanistan in the 1960-70s.…
