Choosing
Marriage Partner for Daughter
My dear Tahira, May God bless you!
It has been really a long time since I have heard from you. But your silence has meant contentment for me rather than worry, because you write to me only, when you face some untoward circumstances. Hence I remain contented when I do not hear from you. It means nothing is bothering you, and in our present society even this is a boon.
It seems only yesterday that you were asking me to suggest a name on the birth of your daughter Saira. And today you are asking for my suggestions on a proposal for a marriage partner for her. This turns out the mind to noticing how old we have become during this period. The sands of time keep on slipping quietly, and we do not even feel that every dropped particle lessens a moment of our own life.
