Thought for TODAY: 5th September 2012

Today I did a guest post at a nice & interesting blog, very aptly titled - Luv, career and a lot. You can read it HERE. Wondering what has that got to with today's thought? Well this taught Me something today.

Sikha, who manages this blog, has just started a blogathon on her blog and I truly admire people who do that. As for Me, it is an unimaginable thing. She invited guest posts and I sent mine, without any second thoughts. What amazed Me was when I learnt how she feels about Me.

I felt most of times we just don't realise what difference do we make in someone's life. And sadly instead of being happy with these compliments we are more irritated with that one criticism we might have faced somewhere. That is wrong I think. I agree it is important to face your criticism and work on it; but that does not mean we ignore the compliments.

So today's lesson is: Learn to accept both brickbats and bouquets with equal elan!

Thanks so much Sikha for such wonderful words - I am touched! Though I would say you are being too kind. :o)

This one's for you- SIKHA - Thanks for inspiring Me to look beyond my imperfections and to love my perfections (however small they are!!)

Books on Cinema

For a long time, cinema was a world I wasn’t allowed to enter. I grew up in a home where movies were banned. No television, no glimpses of silver screens, and no songs echoing from old classics. For nearly a decade, cinema was a forbidden word like a secret behind a closed door.  And yet, like all things that carry truth and longing, it found its way to me. Stories have a way of finding you, slipping through cracks, whispered between pages, caught in melodies. Sometimes through the corners of borrowed books, sometimes through whispered summaries from classmates, sometimes just through the magnetic pull of posters and songs I wasn’t supposed to hear.

Book Review: The Story of Eve: Selected Poems by Zehra Nigah

Few voices in Urdu poetry have carried the weight of history, resistance, and deep personal introspection quite like Zehra Nigah. One of the first women to break into the traditionally male-dominated world of Urdu poetry, Nigah’s work stands as a testament to the power of words to illuminate, question, and challenge. The Story of Eve: Selected Poems, translated by Rakshanda Jalil, brings together some of her most powerful nazms and ghazals, showcasing both her literary elegance and her unflinching gaze at the human condition, particularly through the lens of gender, social injustice, and political turmoil.
