Veil or Hizab always fascinated me like many romantic poets. Its only after coming to Mumbai, I have seen so many Muslim girls wearing Hizab or Burkha as commonly know.
Whenever get a chance I always have a close look on the design, materials ,texture and the elegance with which these beautiful girls wear it..
Once I was traveling from Andheri (E) to Ghatkoper station in a rickshaw India’s most promising vehicle. I crossing the Muslim dominate and highly congested Asalfa area .My rickshaw was literally crawling on the road.
I was feeling bore all alone in the rickshaw, so I have decide to entertain myself by observing people all round. Suddenly my eyes stopped on a lady wearing a black colored veil and standing near a Pani-Puri (oops! no English word for same) Stall. Slowly I started thinking the lady has covered her entire face with veil, how she will eat those pani-puris? Will she remove the veil and display her face to the pani-puri wala ? May be her Hizab has certain arrangement through which she could open her mouth without uncovering her entire face and.blah….blah………blah……………Now I was very desperate to know what she is going to do before my rickshaw crosses her.
Then the pani-puri wala bhaiya packed puris and pani separately in small poly bags and handed over to her. Suddenly a smile come to my face in the same way as it is there now in my face…
