Taaruf ~ Stories From Urdu

Taaruf
(Urdu; getting to know someone)

Newspaper rolls slapping faces of houses with messages of air strikes, gold medal wins and 10 reasons why actors are getting divorced.
Slippered shuffling of feet as the early riser in every house washes sleep away from his eyes.
That first boil of cardamom brewed tea.
Soft whirrings of ceiling fans,
Blenders,
Aching knees
and promises of new beginnings.

This is how the morning introduces itself every day.
