First thing in the morning, I put together emails for Rajesh, the puppeteer in India with designs for custom puppets as well as reference guides. That took a few hours, then I went back to Sindhology to ask about a musician I could not find the name of in a video I had, and to pick up some recordings that Zulfikar sahib had picked up from Maka sahib who had a record label called AA from which I found most of my current day musicians.The musician ended up being Gulzaib Panhwar who sang a beautiful rendition of Rano. Zulfikar Ali Gopang sahib had recorded that piece at a performance, it turns out, at Mehboob Ali Shah sahib’s place, which I had visited on Friday.I came home and knew that I had to get this Sindhi verse matching task going. People were helping, but they were also understandably busy, and it could take weeks or months and even then there was no guarantee I would be any further along if I just waited. I called Mehboob Ali Shah sahib to see if we could meet. He agreed to meet me the next morning to help me. As this is part of my work for “Risalo” I offered to pay for his efforts. It’s a tricky thing to offer pay. Many who are helping me are helping me out of their kindness and a desire to push Shah Latif’s words out into the world. If I offer to pay people in certain cases, it will offend them. At the same time, I would not think less of anyone if I paid them, as it is their right to be paid for their work. Mehboob sahib said we could simply discuss it when we met.I slept a bit easier, knowing that there was some positive step toward this challenging task.
