HUMBLE REPLY TO SH. PRABHAKAR

[Guest guest]

Respected Parbhakarji

Hello,

This is the first time I am writing in this

group; probably there was no need for the same. But some of my learned friends

told me that there are some discussions going on in the group on the subject

matter of Urdu, I thought to join the discussions of the learned scholars who

might be alim, fazil, muallaim or Dukthtoors of the Urdu language.

I do not want

to involve myself in the discussions of "Mausauf Siffat" or

'Izaffat" as whatsoever our learned friend Umeshji have said is correct (I

think you know better than me), the word "Ilm-Qyafa" is not a perfect

grammatical formation in Persian as far as I know. It is again Ilm-e-Qyafa

which I would like to correct my learned group mate, of course, with his due

permission.

Parbhakarji as

regards to your phrase "Punjabi Urdu" I do not know there is any form of Urdu

being taught in India. Yes, Pakistani Urdu is being taught in India and if you

want I can provide addresses of the esteemed institutions. The work "Greek to

someone" does not refer to any language but it is a proverb which is used in

expressing while using the idiomatic expressions that "the test is above my

comprehension". I stand by Umesh ji for using this word. Please correct

yourself.

 

 

Prabhakar ji,

my basic purpose of writing this mail was that you have questioned my knowledge

of Urdu Persian and Arabic. I wish, this need may arise. For your kind

information I humbly submit that a central University, has conferred a degree

on me with this effect, of course, with distinction. In addition to that I have

passed out the examination to get a job in govt. of India as translator of

foreign languages (Persian and Arabic). I do not think that after all that I

would need any conformation in this regard from any tom dick and harry. May I

know about your qualifications of Urdu and Persian as your have commented on my

knowledge. (Perhaps you are better placed than me).

As regards to your contention that "I am a

jack ---------" , I would like to

enlighten you that only God is perfect. I am not here to compete with anyone,

as astrology is more like a passion to me then a business. Therefore, the

question as to who is better hardly arises. My work would only be judged by my

readers and not like you people who are biased.

Good authors are those who respect others work and beget respect from

others. I would have really appreciated your comments had you discussed them

with me face to face. In the end I would

like to advise you not to be envious of your friends but to encourage them. I

hope good sense will prevail on you. You think you are

the best but " dil hai ke manta nahin". I will wait for your reply.

God bless you

Thanks/regards

Laxmi Kant Vashisth
