Book Description
Foreword
In the foot-hills of Siwaliks in the districts of Rawalpindi and Jhelum is Pothohar, the land of poets, thinkers and lovely women. The heavily eroded foot-hills, bare of all vegetation, present an unearthly landscape with craters like that of the moon, and rugged rocks are eroded into most fantastic shapes. Nibbling at the scanty tufts of grass are flocks of sheep and goats followed by ferocious-looking shepherds. This land was not so barren and dreary during the first five centuries of the Christian era when Buddhism was wielding its sway as far north as Afghanistan and Central Asia. Even now ruins of Buddhist monasteries and Viharas can be seen among the barren rocks of Pothohar, gentle reminders of a creed of love and sympathy, which once prevailed in this region. While Buddhism has vanished before the onslaught of Islam, the traces of this creed can still be seen in the faces of at least some of the gentler sex. The University of Taxila, now in ruins, produced saints and scholars, the lotus-bearers, who carried the message of the Buddha far into the heart of Central Asia. Then came the Greeks with their philosophy and the art of sculpture, and they left an imprint on the sands of time as well as on the race of Pothoharis. Even now the brown soil of Pothohar and its bracing climate rear a race of men and women who are unusually handsome and surprisingly intelligent. One often comes across Madonna-like faces, the straight Spark nose is sit prominent, and the eyes of women sparkle with love and laughter.

Preface
And strange has been my fate in this precarious world, almost stranger than fiction: I confess passionate love of every kind has been to me in youth an experience once of intense pleasure. The moments that came thus were brief and they came flying and departed flying, but they were measures of everlasting sweetness. A whole life of pain and struggle, and the expectation of death as a refreshing change to still greater moments of passionate love are all made blissful by the brief brilliance of those happy moments here and I always loved to be alive with passion of one kind or another. Always explosive and volcanic of times, when I swept everything before me.

I do not know of what interest my life can be to anybody when their own are of no interest to them especially when mine is as absolutely uneventful as of a bird perching now on one flower spray then on another, glad that its lovely coo and claw-grasps make the flowery twigs swing with inward passion which no one knows. The making of love with my fellows and then unmaking it, in irresistible fascinations, has been a whole life's doing and undoing.
