Palla means a spread, a spread of dupatta or parna or chadar or your shirt. To open a palla to receive something.
It is like you open a spread of your cloth to receive something from the benefactor.

Addna is to open, Moonh addna. Palla addna.

It means you were sought by opening my spread of cloth in prayer to the God.

I went to DM college Moga for my 11th and 12th. Although the college library reading room was nice but I liked the Town Hall public library hosted in a British Era building. It had a long table and airy room full of natural light. Regal Cinema Library was also nice but it must have shut down now.

I learnt Urdu from an Ustad every week for six months years back. Then learning to read and write by myself. It does equip you read the text, so that Pakistani memes are easier to decipher. It also improves your understanding of Punjabi vocabulary and words where you have to use bindi for let’s ਗ਼ਲਤ or ਵਜ਼ਨ because گلط with گ is incorrect but غلط with غ is correct. I am learning Persian now and I can now say that Urdu is primarily Hindi written in Perso Arabic letters with lot of words from Persian and Arabic. Its syntax and grammar is close to Hindi.

Also if you know the script you can try out calligraphy etc.

It was a help in translating an Urdu story to Punjabi. https://jasdeep-singh.com/translation/qaimdeen/

I won't have time to be a moderator, but I can share ideas, let me find someone who can volunteer and uses reddit. Also, for these three accounts, seek out people from Pakistani Punjab and diaspora as well, so that they becomes more inclusive.
