I have been meaning to post about this since ages. Something or the other always comes up; or I end up watching the drama again.

Book Review: DOOSRA DOZAKH by Umera Ahmed
Doosra Dozakh is one of those stories that will punch you in the gut and make your insides curl with pain. The dark-sarcasm laced narrative works in favour of the short story, making every line worth quoting.
Book Review: SHEHR-E-ZAAT (By Umera Ahmed)
Shehr-e-Zaat is one of those dramas that marry spirituality with popular fiction seamlessly. Umera Ahmed is a well-known name in the popular women fiction writing horizon and this is one of her best works. I stand corrected, all her work is great.
Book Review: Aisa Kabhi Nahin Hota by Umera Ahmed
“Aisa Kabhi Nahin Hota” is a romantic comedy, something that we don’t expect from Umera. Self-admittedly, this is Umera’s only attempt at writing humour.

5 Reasons to watch Alif Drama (Geo TV)
I am looking forward to watching Alif Drama (Geo TV). It is written by Umera Ahmed. The novel is already published in April 2019 and is immensely popular amongst Urdu readers. I prefer not to watch the screen adaptation of a book. It is generally very loosely based on the original story and often the…
Book Review: Alif – Complete Review (By Umera Ahmed)
Introduction I love when I read a novel about writers, or watch a movie about actors. Umera had not written a novel post Aab-e-Hayaat, which was about 3-4 years ago. I remember that because I had just moved to my apartment, my own apartment, around that time. My sisters and I used to discuss the abrupt ending over a cup of tea until late in the night. Ah,…
