Hostal Main Parhna; an Outstanding Urdu Essay by Patras Bukhari


Patras Bukhari
Syed Ahmed Shah (Urdu: سید احمد شاہ ) (commonly known as Patras Bukhari - پطرس بخاری) (Hilal-Imtiaz), (1 October 1898, Peshawar – 5 December 1958, New York) was an Urdu humorist, educator, essayist, broadcaster and diplomat from Pakistan. He is best known for his humorous writings in Urdu literature.

His volume of essays, Patras Kay Mazameen - پطرس کے مظامین (Essays of Patras), published in 1927 is considered as an asset of Urdu humor. Among those essays this time I am going to post "Hostel Mai Parhna" (Studying in the Hostel" which tells about the life in the hostels. I will try to introduce the other essays as well. I hope you will like this essay and will let me know your comments. Thank You!
