I used to read that too

Two books I loved to read. These are based on comical characters called Ool Jalool and Munshi Munnaqa. Both were created by Muhammad Younas Hasrat. There was one another comical character called Chacha Bhulakkar because he used to forget everything. That was created by Zakia Bilgrami and all these storied used to publish regularly in Taleem-o-Tarbiat.

Good old times…

  1. اور میں آنگلو بانگلو ، عمران سیریز اور عمرو عیار کا دیوانہ تھا۔ سکول بک میں رکھ کہ پڑھتا تھا۔ ابا جی کی تو اجازت تھی نہیں سو فراڈ تو کرنا پڑتا تھا

  2. Yep I already wrote about Umru Ayyar, Tarzan stories in one of my very early blogs :)

    That was fun!

  3. I loved Chacha Bhulakkar…there was that particular story where he went to buy sabzi from Jumma Bazaar and I used to find it so hilarious that I used to laugh aloud whenever I heard it! :? :D

    And thought having a zambeel like Umru Ayyar would be so cool! :D

  4. Oh well there were many such stories where he do usual things but due to his forgetfulness always mess them up :P

    Yeah my ultimate fancy is Sulaimani topi/chadder :)

  5. klassic…you definitely brought back an old memory and these books…
