During our childhood we used to enjoy reading humorous stories of Sheikh Chille. Then for a long time Sheikh Chute disappeared now he is reborn. The story goes that Sheikh Chille was cutting the branch of the tree on which he was sitting. People warned him that he would come down and hurt himself if the branch on which he was sitting fell down. When he came down then he started thinking what people were saying was really true. These days our nation is full of Sheikh Chille and they are cutting down the tree on which they are sitting, not worried as to what would happen when they go down the tree. They would just say it was "Kismat". It is petty that people are hesitant to say Pakistan Zindabad instead we hear Pakistan Zindabad.-COL (Retd) R.M. AKHTAR, Lahore Cantt, September 9.
