Happy Urdu Day
!السلام علیکم جمعہ مبارک۔۔۔ جمعہ کا دن ہے، یعنی کہ یومِ بریانی۔ ابھی ابھی جب ہم دسترخون پر بریانی کے مزے لوٹ رہے تھے، تو میرے بھائی نے پوچھا۔ “یومِ اردو پر کچھ لکھا نہیں؟” جی ہاں۔ مجھے اکثر چھیڑا جاتا ہے ، لیکن میں برا نہیں مانتی۔ اور یہ تو برا ماننے والی…

I joined NaNoWriMo
That’s right folks. Trying hard to recover from self doubt attack and shrug off the negativity, I was on my regular intake of ‘social media scroll through’ spree when I saw NaNoWriMo. This rang a bell somewhere in my head but I couldn’t recall. After following a series of links, I joined in. In fact,…
Book Review: Alif – Episode #4 (By Umera Ahmed)
The fourth episode is out already and I am two days late. I am living in a parallel universe these days. *** The fourth episode starts with a letter from Abdul Alaa to Husn-e-Jehan. There is a mystery and both Abdul Alaa and Husn-e-Jehan are apologetic to each other. The mystery is just as annoying…
