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…

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…
Book Review: Alif – Episode #1 (By Umera Ahmed)
Background & Review: Much like ‘Mann-o-salwa’ the first episode is about parallel tracks and a lot of characters. This episode had introduced a few characters; characters which are not necessarily named through the episode. There are four parallel tracks. A girl / woman named Jahan who’s writing a letter. She maybe Husn-e-Jahan; but I cannot…

Book Review: Tum Kon Piya By Maha Malik
I am on a reading spree for past two weeks, and hence not so much of blogging. Last week was a little draining. It was physically exhausting, and left me emotionally vulnerable. I therefore opted for the good old therapy – reading. I don’t recall correctly and I have not kept track. Roughly, I’ve read…
