One day, Sir Walter Colvin told Sir Charles Ross Alston that he could put him in his pocket. While Sir Walter Colvin was really tall, Sir Charles Ross Alston was very short. Sir Walter Colvin and Sir Charles Ross Alston were close friends. The book includes cartoons related to the anecdotes and an interesting one is of Sir Walter Colvin and Sir Charles Ross Alston:. Muchhala retorted, 'No wonder your eyes fell on me.' Muchhala told him, 'You are looking like a rich client.' Mr. Muchhala was elegantly dressed in a suit and a tie. Muchhala, Senior Advocate came from Mumbai to meet Mr. One such anecdote mentioned in the book is concerning Senior Advocates Ashok H. When you read the anecdotes contributed by certain Seniors, you might be able to imagine the way they would have narrated it to the juniors and colleagues, while standing outside the courtroom, waiting patiently for a matter. The way the book has been written, those familiar with the fraternity, can almost hear the voices of the concerned Judges and Senior Advocates while making those statements. Maqbool has painstakingly compiled several anecdotes, as narrated and contributed by various Senior Advocates and Hon'ble Judges of the Supreme Court of India as well as the High Courts. Ejaz Maqbool's book- 'Law, Humour and Urdu Poetry' therefore could not have come at a better time, putting on record the 'off-record' witty and humorous exchanges between and amongst the bar and the bench. These corridor and canteen conversations are probably one of the things the whole fraternity has been missing the most because of lack of physical access to courts due to pandemic. There is however so much that happens in courtrooms 'off the record' which is later discussed in court corridors and at the canteen. This recording does not include nЕ«n-e Дџunnah or the aspirated consonants.Indian courts are courts of record, which means that the court proceedings are recorded for the purpose of appeal and the precedent value. The letter nЕ«n gМ±unnah appears only at the ends of words and nasalises the preceding vowel.ДЄ recording of the Urdu alphabet by Щ…ШЩ…ШЇ ШґЪ©ЫЊШЁ ШЁЫЊЪЇ (Mohammad Shakeb Baig) from ШЁЪѕЩ€ЩѕШ§Щ„ШЊ ШЁЪѕШ§Ш±ШЄ (Bhopal, India) The word Urdu is Turkish for 'foreign' or 'horde'. Urdu has been written with a version of the Perso-Arabic script since the 12th century and is normally written in Nastaliq style. At an informal spoken level there are few significant differences between Urdu and Hindi and they could be considered varieties a single language. Linguists consider Standard Urdu and Standard Hindi to be different formal registers both derived from the Khari Boli dialect, which is also known as Hindustani. Urdu is the national language of Pakistan and is closely related to and mutually intelligible with Hindi, though a lot of Urdu vocabulary comes from Persian and Arabic, while Hindi contains more vocabulary from Sanskrit. There are also Urdu speakers in other countries, such as South Africa, Mauritius and Guyana. There were about 738,000 speakers of Urdu in Nepal in 2011, and the language was spoken by about 250,000 in Bangladesh in 2003. There were about 58 million Urdu speakers in India in 2011, mainly in Jammu, Kashmir and Maharashtra states. In 2015 there were about 109 million speakers of Urdu in Pakistan, 15 million of whom speak it as a native language.

It is also known as Modern Standard Urdu or Lashkari ( Щ„ШґЪ©Ш±ЫЊ), and is described as a Persianised standard register of the Hindustani language. Urdu is an Indo-Aryan language spoken mainly in Pakistan and India, and also in Nepal, Bangladesh and several other countries.
