Time Travelling and Weird wishes

 
 
Moments, that is what our lives are made up of. Some beautiful, some ugly, some love worthy while some reduce us to nothing but a bundle of nerves. It is these moments which define life for us in a beautiful manner.

Like a forward message today read:

Life has never promised you anything nor has destiny;
But people did;
Some said they would never leave you.... lie!
Some said they would love you until death...lie!
Some said you were the most precious one..lie!
Life is made upof such sweet  lies...all that matters is, how you faced the time you finally realised those were just lies....
We may just ask, "Wouldnt life be much better without these lies?"
But the truth is, the times you lived on those big lies were the only times you lived.

When you read these lines I am sure there is atleast one moment of your life that comes alive before your eyes taking you back in time.

For me writing Time's Lost Atlas was one such moment where I conjured up a cobweb of lies and ensured the protoganist is trapped amidst it.

Now that we are nearing the launch of the book the publisher Half Baked Beans is hosting a giveaway on it's blog. And what better way to win a book than to have to write for it. I would love to know your such quirky moments in life where you felt you could have relived it once again just to perhaps change something about it maybe or maybe just to enjoy the happiness it brought along.

Please do participate in the GIVEAWAY here as we are looking forward to know about such moments of your life!

Happy Writing and All the best <3

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.
