TV Series Review: Part 1 – Kara Para Ask – Season 2 (Turkish)
Background: My sister was watching this series Kara Para Ask on YouTube and recommended it to me. Turkish dramas are long, like really long. The first Turkish series I watched was Fatima Gul. I didn’t finish it, because it just wasn’t ending. The first season got me hooked (read the review here) and I couldn’t…

Book Review: “Yaaram” By Sumaira Hameed
Background: Sometime in 2016, I was addicted to reading all the digests that were published in Pakistan. For us non-Pakistanis, the paksociety website was and is, the treasure – a place where you get most of all Urdu Novels and Digests. The website displays most trending books on the top – and there were only…

Background: My sister was watching this series Kara Para Ask on YouTube and recommended it to me. Turkish dramas are long, like really long. The first Turkish series I watched was Fatima Gul.

Book Review: Alif – Episode #3 (By Umera Ahmed)
The third episode unfolds some more mysteries & introduces one more character – Abul Aala, Momin’s grandpa; and the most important character, in my opinion. The episode ends on a cliff-hanger. Like really hangs the reader. The calligraphy link is stronger than I had imagined. Momin and Momina both can do calligraphy. In this episode,…
Book Review: Alif – Episode #2 (By Umera Ahmed)
The second episode reveals some more characters. It reveals some relationships amongst them. And no, I’m not mentioning those here. Read for yourself 🙂 It generates further curiosity. The tracks will converge soon, based on the first two episodes. The calligraphy link is already established. This novel is sounding like Mann-o-Salwa. The setting and the…
