Another moment when the TIME stood still

Previously I had shared my experience of writing for this nation wide contest held by Half Baked Beans here. Today when the book has released, it is giving me jitters as I type this. Jitters because this was the first ever contest I participated in and the first short story ever that I wrote , with the help of a wonderful mentor like Harsh Agrawal.It has been enthralling experience working with all these authors as a team having all the support from Harsh and ofcourse Mr.Chetan Soni of Half Baked Beans.

It is definitely a moment for me when TIME stood still as I held this book in my hands and pinched myself to believe it to be true.

P.S: Do let me know your feedback on my story The Filch featured therein! Eagerly waiting....

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.
