the snake charmer

THE SNAKE CHARMER:
Snake charmer are a class by themselves. They are perhaps the aborigines of Pakistan who have now adopted this profession to earn their livelihood. They go about from place to place, displaying their snakes which they keep s a precious treasures. No one knows from where they come and where they go. Probably they have no fixed habitation. 
They have a basket which they sling on their shoulders, and in which they keep their pet snakes. The vina is their constant companion, on which they play sweet tunes which madden the serpents.
 Promise them a pie and they begin to play on the vina. Their skill in modulating and controlling breath  is wonderful and the drawling music which they produces has a strange fascinating influence.
 When the charmer thinks his music  has produced is effect on the snake he will empty the pot or the casket in which he keeps his jewels on the ground and you will see a curled up thing. It lies on the ground lifeless and the begins to rouse it by touching it with a stick, or proding it with the thin end of his vina. The lifeless thing now now  uncurls itself and begins to hiss and dash the charmer.
Some times it rushes at the spectators to their great fright. The dance of the cobra when it stands erect and spread its hood is very amusing. Sometimes the charmer would even make the snake bite him, but he usually carries snakes whose poisonous fangs have these dangerous things harmless.
 It is very difficult to understand this mysterious being. You can't believe all what he says and yet you cannot deny that he is a very clever man. his eyes are always red and he has a very wild and frightful appearance. He certainly takes some strong intoxicating poison, otherwise you cannot explain the weird look of his eyes......

The gardener belongs to the oldest trade in the world. The bible says that when God made the first man and woman. Adam and Eve. He put them into a beautiful garden. He had made in Eden, to care for it and look after it, so Adam was the first gardener, and the poet teny sons speaks for him and Eve as The grand old gardener and his wife. Gardener should be proud of their work, for it is the oldest of all.
A good gardener has to have a good deal of knowledge. He must know plants-what they are good for, what kind of soil and climate they like, how they grow. He must know that potatoes like sandy soil, and will not grow in heavy clay: that roses like clay and will want a lot of water that other plants must be kept dry and so on and so on.

He has to study the habits of different plants, for if he treats them all alike some will be sure to die. He must know which should be pruned and which not and when the pruning is to be done. He must know the seasons of the year when to sow when to expect the flowers and when the fruits.
 And he must know something of the signs of the weather or his plants may he killed by the frost if they are not sheltered dried up by the hot sun, or rotted  by too much  rain.
  To be  a good gardener you must have certain virtues. A gardener needs patience. He must be willing to wait for plants to grow flower and fruit. It is no use digging up your plants every day to see how they are growing. A gardener needs foresight. He must be able to look ahead and plan before hand for the changing seasons. He must be industrious for his work is heavy and he must be methodical and regular in doing his work.
 A gardener's life should be a happy one: for it is quiet and thoughtful and he is always surrounded with beautiful things...

THE SAILOR AND HIS LIFE

THE SAILOR AND HIS LIFE:

 A sailor is one who knows how to work in a sailing ship. Now a days there are not many sailing ships left, for their place has been taken by stream ships. And an old sailor would say that the crews who work on steamships are not sailors at all, and know nothing about seamanship or the management of ships.

  Before steamers were invented all ocean ships sailing ships: that is they were moved wind blowing their sails. There were different kind of ships. The biggest were ship and banquets three masted vessels then two masted ships, called schooners and brigs. In the navy the largest were called men of war smaller but faster vessels were cruisers and there were many more.

 These ships differed not only in size and the number of their masts, but also in the number and shape of their sails and their ropes that is their rigging. And it took long experience for a sailor to know all these points the names and uses of the hundred of different ropes and the dozens of different sails know and how to furl and unfurl them, and when. The sailor, too had to know the signs of the weather so that the might know when storms were coming and he had to study the charts and to know where it was safe to go though this part of the work was the job of the captain and officers more than that of the common sailors. Nowadays the chief workers in a steamer are the engineers: the sailors in the old sense though there are still sailing ships in use.

A sailor's life is a hard and rough one: and it is dangerous. We landsmen have little idea what it must be to climb the tall masts in a storm to furl to the furl the sails when the ship is rolling and pitching like a  mad thing, the wind is icy cold the rain is pouring down, and it is pitch dark. And sailors are always in danger of shipwreck or sinking in a storm of fire or dying of thirst in a calm.

 Yet the sailor is a brave and jolly fellow. He often grumbles: but he loves the sea life so much that he will not leave it.

He sings.,,,,

And white waves heaving high, my lads

      The good ship tight and free
           The world of waters is our home..
           And merry men are we"........

THE LIFE OF A HAWKER

THE LIFE OF A HAWKER:

A street hawker is a common sight in our towns and villages. A street hawker goes from one street to another and from one mohalla to another mohalla for selling his article or food stuffs.
 A street hawker usually comes with a basket full of article placed on his head. He hawks his article. Every street hawker brings articlesand eatables of different kinds. Usually in the morning street hawkers come with vegetables and fruits in their baskets. They hawk the things and vegetables which they bring in baskets.
     The people who live in village and towns hear the calls of the street hawker early in the morning. He brings with him fresh fruits  and vegetables. On hearing the voice housewives flock around him. They take from him the things which they need. Street hawkers have to face sometimes very odd customers who go on arguing bargaining about the prices of various commodities. Sometimes he has to bow to the customers by reducing his rates.
 Then there are other street hawkers who come on bicycles loaded with clothes. utensils and other articles of daily need and consumption. 
  All these are no doubt tough jobs. He has to labor a lot in order to earn his living. His profits are very small. He is generally a poor man. His clothes are also dirty. But wit his small income he makes his both ends meet. The way he lifts the heavy load on his head or carries it on a bicycles is really a difficult job.
 Some of the street hawkers  carry on their heads very cheap things. By selling their complete stock they just earn rupee or so. This shows the poor condition of these street hawkers. If a hawker is a little innocent he is teased  by the street urchins. These clever urchins sometimes steal away his pretty articles and things while the poor fellow has to bear the loss.
   On the whole a street hawker 's condition is pitiable because he wanders from morning till evening from place to place in order to earn his daily living. In Pakistan the hawkers are innumerable because by investing less amount of money they start his business. And Pakistan is a country inhabited by poor people. But there is no harm in earning one's living with hard labor. Every individual should earn his own living instead of becoming a burden upon others.

description of pakistani juggler

DESCRIPTION OF PAKISTANI JUGGLER:
  
Pakistan is land of variety and so are her professions. Juggler are a very common sight in Pakistan. They provide an amusement and fun.They are generally found in small towns, villages  and at fairs. In a big cities like Lahore we come across very few jugglers because there is not  much open space where a juggler can give his performance. Besides there is not much open space where a juggler thing and a great rush of traffic. The police does not allow them to show their feats which may attract big crowds. People have so many other attractions and mean of recreation that they show no interest in the antiqued tricks of the jugglers. The educated people in particular can't afford to waste their time over it.
A juggler however  is popular among women, children and old men.They stand amazed at his wonderful tricks and gimmicks. They consider him to be a magician.
           A juggler is very shabbily dressed. He has a long loose coat a big turban a dhoti and a pair of old socks. Often he has big earrings and some finger rings. He has with him a small boy who carries his stock in trade in a bag or basket and the bag contains the articles which a juggler needs for the show.
     At first the juggler selects a suitable place for the performance. He spreads a piece of cloth on the ground and begin to play on the flute. The boy with him begins to beat the drum. The juggler is adept in playing on the flute. He can produce difference tunes so as to attract a sufficiently large crowd of people before beginning the tricks. He is clever witty and quick in movements. All the time he is smiling. He surprises the spectators by his timely jokes and witty remarks.
    A juggler has many gimmicks to show. He generally begins with the card tricks. He can correctly tell the card which is pulled out of the pack by a spectator. He shows other feats of wonder. Then he shows ball tricks which are very interesting and surprising. He takes a number of ball and throws them up in the air in quick succession. The balls revolving in a circle without any of them falling on the ground.The feat depends on the ingenuity and regular practice. Sometimes the juggler asks a man to give him his ring. He covers it with a piece of cloths and waves  his magic wand over it. When he removes the cloth, the people are amazed to find that the ring has disappeared. The owner is anxious to get back the ring. When the juggler sees that his patience is exhausted he ask some other persons in the crowd to search his pocket. Much of the bewilderment of all the ring is found there and thus handed back to the owner.
     He also shows a mango branch sprouting into a young tree. His basket trick is also very interesting. He puts a big basket over the boy's body.He runs his dagger through it many times. The people near the boy shriek and cry. They see the sword covered with blood. They think that the boy must be dead. But when he removes the basket, they see nobody under it. The boy comes from somewhere in the crowd and is quite safe and sound. The people shout with joy and cheer the trick.
   With the help of his wand the juggler can multiply the number of his currency notes and coins and becomes rich for a short time.  But again he is the same poor man loitering from place to place in search of bread..
    The juggler's  skills requires dexterity and a long practice. He earns a living  by his quick feats and the eye cannot follow his movements. He is active and smart but will all that he is generally poor.
  After the performance he goes round with his bowl asking the spectators to put something in it. The spectators drop some coins in the bowl. This is how he earns his living and remain in tattered clothes and is generally semi-fed......

THE STREET BEGGAR

THE STREET BEGGAR:
 Beggars are very common in Pakistan. They are found in almost every village town and city. The main centers  of their activity are the places of pilgrimage and worship. They squat on the banks of the rivers, in front of mosques and other places of hectic activity. They roam from street to street from one locality to another and beg for alms, food and money. They accept whatever is given to them. Sometimes they pursue the people so doggedly that people are fed up with them.
   Some give alms to beggars in order to ward off the  nuisance and not out of charity. Some beggars are so hale and hearty, so young and healthy that they do not deserve charity at all. The deserving cases are few; those who are crippled or lame deaf or dumb, blind or handicapped they are incapacitated and cannot earn their living. Some are in such a pathetic plight that they evoke pity and compassion. Such crippled beggars are well versed in the art of singing religious songs. Some have really very melodious voice. Their sweet voice attracts the passers by. Such beggars are found in trains and buses and they enthrall the travellers by their religious and devotional songs and poems.
  Sometimes one comes across a deaf or dumb beggars, lifting a blind or lame beggar on his back and begging for alms. It is also usual to see a leper placed in a low cart and carried from places to place. These beggars know human psychology and work according to that.
 But most of the beggars live on the generosity of women. These beggars never miss religious gatherings and other festivals.Some wear only a loin cloth. Others besmear themselves with ashes, have long hair and pair of tongs. Some meditate deceive the innocent women and at times rob them.
              The number of beggars in Pakistan is rising. These beggars live on the earnings of other. It is really a curse that even able bodied citizens of Pakistan resort of begging. They  indulge in various vices like drinking, smoking and gambling. Their bodies are diseased. They carry with them infection and roam from place to place and thus are responsible to a large extent fro spreading epidemics.
Begging should be banned in Pakistan by law. A legislation must be enacted to put an end to this profession. However deserving cases should be helped and other should be given gainful employment. Street begging is really a great nuisance. Now a day people are not moved by any religious consideration so beggar are not treated as they hope to be treated....
