Books....Books....Books

Reading has been the biggest love of my life since the time I can remember. I can actually hog on books and thrive on them!

My mother introduced me to reading when I was 5. I was a hyper active child wanting to do loads of things in the shortest possible time. And she thought books will help me use my energies in a better manner.

She was so right.... since then till now my appetite for books just keeps increasing day by day. Something that began as a hobby is now a passion. Something I cannot live without. I thrive on books, if I can say that and yes I am bibliophile much to the disappointment of my mother now as she hates me getting lost in books oblivious to her !

This blog was started to share my love for books and has since then just grown manifolds as for me the picture says it all what I feel about reading. I read and I review and I review and I read... its a happy never ending cycle. Sharing my most favourite books ( not in this order) which I have reviewed here:

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.
