If a man has to make a woman the center of his love, why should he
integrate animality into this sacred human emotion?...Is love
incompelete without it?...Is love the name of physical excersize ?

"Ismats pen and tongue both run fast. When she starts writing, her

To tell you the truth, the world seemed full of sad people those who
slept on the uncovered stoops of shops as well as those who lived in

high-rise mansions. The man who walks about on foot worries that he
doesnt have decent shoes to wear. The man who rides the automobile
frets that he doesnt have the latest model car. Every mans complaint is
valid in its own way. Every mans wish is legitimate in its own right.

He catches the thieves that lie in the hearts of their pure and
respectable wives. And he compares them to the purity in the heart of a

Manto, who was a man of great piety. Take him away, Lord, for he runs
away from fragrance and chases after filth. He hates the bright sun,
preferring dark labyrinths. He has nothing but contempt for modesty but
is fascinated by the naked and the shameless. He hates sweetness, but
will give his life to taste bitter fruit. He will not so much as look at
housewives but is in seventh heaven in the company of whores. He will
not go near running waters, but loves to wade through filth. Where
others weep, he laughs; and where others laugh, he weeps. Faces
blackened by evil, he loves to wash with tender care to make visible their
real features. He never thinks about you but follows Satan everywhere,
the same fallen angel who once disobeyed you.

that ugly truth about Manto, the man: that for all his love of Indian
multiplicity, he went to Pakistan. He even tried convincing Chughtai to
go. The future looks beautiful in Pakistan, he said to her, Well be able
to get the houses of people whove fled from there. Itll be just us there.
Well progress very quickly. When I read this, I had trouble holding the

His last years were beset with financial troubles; he drank heavily; he
wrote to Chughtai on more than one occasion, pleading with her to find
a way for him to come back to India. She was surprised to learn that far
from large protests and signed declarations on his behalf, many in
Pakistan felt he deserved to be punished. He died on January 18, 1955 in
Lahore at the age of forty two.

For me, remembrance of things past has always been a waste of time,
and whats the point of tears? I dont know. Ive always been focussed
on today. Yesterday and tomorrow hold no interest for me. What had to
