Mother Tongue

Just sitting in Mcdonalds Islamabad. Families around me are Punjabies

and Pushtun. The Pushtun ones switch between English and Pushto.

The Punjabies one prefer to speak English with their kids or then

Urdu. Hardly I can hear them speaking Punjabi. Just thinking why

Punjabis behave in such a manner with their mother tongue... A

language that is rich in culture and Sufi poetry.
