Means of Communication (short Story)
Means of communication
Social media has become very common these days. And it is too late for any news to happen that everyone here receives news through mobile phone, internet.
So let's talk about how newsies spread when social media was not common.
Yes our childhood. These are the days when mother used to wrap bread with butter and sugar on top of bread in the morning and we used to eat it with fondness like shawarma.
At that time television was invented and had come to the villages but it was not common and on the day when the program of Tariq Aziz (the late) was to be aired, all the people would complete their work in the afternoon and go to the house whose There was a blessing like home television.
The house of the gentleman who had television would be like a fair. In the evenings, the girls of the house would clean the yard and put the television in the middle of the yard and put the manjis (beds) right in front of it and also spread the mats for the children to sit on. In the evening, people from the whole neighborhood would be present at this house. Everyone is still watching the program. At the end the slogan of Pakistan sounds and everyone responds to the slogan loudly. Then make their way home.
In those days there were two kinds of means
"A barber &The second one radio"
Yes, even a barber looks like very human. And they were the easiest, fastest and free way to get the news. Now their way of working was such that they had a Sohrab bicycle with a cradle (bag) containing a pair of scissors, a small round shaped glass, a razor.
He collects wheat (wheat) and rice (rice) once a year. Which was called compensation. And every house has a barber.
A barber would be the companion of many pinds (villages) and there would be many barber in one pind.
The barber often visits our house on Thursdays. And sits on a chair somewhere. And then everyone in the house, from children to adults, would cut their hair in turn, and a child under the age of fifteen would have to have a tind(bald). Because when children will not have hair, there will be no need to cut the hair. The elders of the house would sit next to him and listen to the news of the whole village till he cut everyone's hair.
And the news would be something like this
(Tiffany's buffalo eats a poisonous plant and she got sick. You are relative go and asked.)
There was a fight between mother in law and daughter in law at the house of the fiqah(person name).
The second source was radio which was common. Hear the news from him. There was also a tape with the radio in which the cassette was played. The advantage of being younger at that time was that as soon as he started crying, the radio would be put on and the baby would be happy. In the evenings there was often an exchange of cassettes at the shops.
The cassettes are often attached to the love letters of the lovers so that the beloved can be impressed by you to listen the songs even if the you had not good face.
