on second thought...

in my last post i wrote:


“If people here have the means to produce a version of chicago, that would cause one to assume that they have the means (and knowledge) to create a play based on the life of Bulleh Shah.”



I was trying to say that bulleh shahs writing was structured as poetry. And it has already been adapted to music. Also that it is a fable from a place so close to this city.

I did not mean it to indicate any of my personal beliefs. It is something that I try to understand more of however, i.e. sufism. But that is also true of orthodox islam, or christanity, buddhism and world mythology. Im no scholar in any and my knowledge is very basic curiosity level.

I ought to have also mentioned the cave at jehangir khotari parade. That apparently its mentioned in the gita or mahabarharata or one of the other books? Correct me if im wrong please.
