Sajid Hameed

He is a detective and crime-fighter, conceived by Ibn-e-Safi as the secondary focal character to assist the lead role of Colonel Ahmad Kamal Faridi.

Hameed is playful, naughty, carefree, romantic, and when occasion calls for it, hardworking, brave, fearless, intelligent, and smart.

Ibn-e-Safi calls this condition "khopri pe Chhipkali sawar hona", which literally means Hameed's mental apprehension by a lizard.

He saw Faridi at the airport and hugged him screaming "Bhai Jaan" (Dear Brother), while his father, who came to receive him, looked on in disbelief as Hameed completely refused to recognize him.

Later on, after being convinced by Faridi, Hameed went back to his family and apologized for the joke he pulled on his father.

However, it is clear to the reader that the lovers were not fully matured and were conflicted between the matters of heart and mind.

Of course, many restaurant and club owners would have a hard time accepting this reasoning since "Bughra Khan" often ends up with an uncontrolled urge to chew on furniture and table covers.

This myna is extraordinary since she can not only speak Urdu words but is capable of carrying out longer conversations and mimic human emotions.
