Sense of humor has an important place in every culture and society. Humorists have always been regarded with high attributes, we find many examples like Akbar and Beerbal, Santa and Banta, Mullah Naseerudin, when we come to Sindh, we find one such name and that is of Watayo Faqeer or Watayo the dervish.  It is wildly believed by Sindhi historians that Watayo lived for 75 years and is burried at Tando Allahyar.  Here are few selected tales of Watayo Faqeer: (1) Distribution according to God or Man: It is said that once there was a fest in the native village of Watayo, the elders decided to ask Watayo to take charge of meal and distribute among the guests, so one of the elders came to Watayo and said: "O!

The Un-caged Virgin of Africa: Free Verses
