A tomb in the middle of the lake

-

 You must have heard the stories of love and this folk tale testifies that love has nothing to do with wealth or poverty.

Six hundred years ago , the king of Thatta, Sindh, Jam Tamachi, went on a tour of Keenjhar Lake, there were many huts where fishermens were living.

While Jam Tamachi was touring the lake, he saw a beautiful fisherman's daughter "Noori" and fall in love with her. 

For the first time a king asked to a fisherman for his daughter's hand for marriage.

After marriage the King Tamachi gifted whole Lake to the fishermen.

Noori is known for her beauty as bright as the moon of the fourteenth,

Whoever looked at her would become a fan of her beauty.

But at the time of the marriage, Noori wasn't aware that the king had already seven other wives.

When Noori became the queen of the king's palace after her marriage, the palace officials and servants refused to give her the status of queen because she was the daughter of a poor fisherman, but King Tamachi never cared.

He honored Noori not only in his palace but also in his whole kingdom.

None of the seven queens of King Jam Tamachi’s were equal to Noori’s beauty and wisdom and this made all the queens jealous.

Noori had a pure heart for her all the servants and courtiers were equal.

The king's seven queens plotted against Noori and filled the king's ears, but the king was steadfast in his love, and it did not matter.

One day the king ordered all the queens to impress him with their beauty and wisdom, and he’ll spend whole day with her who make impress King today.

All the queens appeared before the king, wearing fine clothes and precious jewels, but Noori wore old clothes,these were the clothes that Noori was wearing on the lake and the king's eyes fell on her first time.

When the king found all the queens wearing beautiful clothes and and precious jewels,when he looked at the Noori and found her in the same condition as the king had found her on the first day.

Noori's simplicity and intelligence impressed the king so much that Noori became the king's breath.

It was that opportunity that Noori's love filled the king's heart and Noori became the luckiest queen of the world.

But unfortunately, The star of the king's eye  extinguished, Noori died in the life of King Jam Tamachi.

The king was devastated by this grief and in her memory the king built Noori's tomb in the middle of Keenjhar Lake and spent the last moments of his life on this tomb.

 Thus the name of this tomb was Noori Jam Tamachi.

And surprisingly, the mausoleum is an example of the magnificent architecture that is built on water and never sinks, because it is not just a tomb, but a whole mausoleum built like a building, It has been in the same place since it was built.

This romantic love story was confessed by Sindh’s Saint and poet Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai in his poetry.

This lake, like Noori, is an example of beauty in itself. 

The clear shining water which captivates the mind had secrets everybody wants to see it.

From childhood to adolescence luck and fortune come in handy.  After that, at the forty years of age you will have to use your experience and perfect intellect. Then the luck and good fortune ends.  Forty years later, if a mission is incomplete, everything will have to be abandoned. Relationship with relatives, giving and taking, joys, sorrows and friends etc will have to be sacrificed. Yo You should value your time. For example, in an emergency, if you have to do sixty tasks in an hour, you have to do everything in one minute. I f you do the work of relatives at the rate of one minute, you will do the work of ten relatives in ten minutes. Thus if you have to do fifty tasks in an hour, but you can only do Forty-five tasks in an hour, then the anxiety and stress of the remaining five tasks that cannot be done will affect your brain. Thus if you are Forty years old, and you have estimated your age to be fifty years, then you have ten years left. In these remaining ten years, calculate fo

Thorny Path

There is a path with thorny bushes, and you are recklessly entering into that path. Thorns stung into your body, the clothes are ripped and you are delayed to reaching your destination. Your peace of mind is disturbed.   What should you do now? Should you hold a press conference against thorns? Should you publish a smoky statement about thorns? Or you should demand to the United Nations that thorns be removed from all trees in the world so that no one will have to deal with the problem of thorns? No serious and sensible person can do that.  On the contrary, you will only do so if you realize your ignorance. You will feel your ignorance and will say to yourself when God gave two eyes, why did you not avoid thorns. You would roll up your sleeves and walk out of the thorny path, in that way the body would be protected from thorns and it would not take long for you to reach your destination. But God has placed thorny trees in the world as an example so that human beings can learn from them
