T is for Thank You

Despite all its ups and downs, life is beautiful. I have my own set of blessings despite some of the curses that surround me; blessings in form of people, places, things and most importantly the feeling of being blessed. No wonder there are many things in life I am thankful for as of now.

I am thankful for ~                                                                                                                         

  • A job that pays me decently.
  • A chance to prove myself and take one step towards my long cherished dream.
  • A handful of loved ones and friends who believe in me and love me unconditionally despite all the flaws I have.
  • A healthy life. (Touchwood!!!)
  • Some wonderful people who read all that I write and encourage me to continue doing so in the form of lovely comments.
  • The dreams in my eyes for when everything else seems unclear they show the way ahead under their shining light.
  • The ability to make a difference in few lives by nothing except loving and caring. 
  • Though 2012 did not end on a high with me underachieving some of my targets, this year does seem promising ahead with things improving with every passing day.  
  • The hope that is eternally present in my heart for things to get better and better and better and better.  
  • I am able to chase my passion wholeheartedly. (Though sometimes it chases me if I avoid it for a long time ;) )

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.
