Dream On Dreamer

I am an eternal dreamer, that's how I like to call myself. For I dream a lot. I dream small, I dream big, I dream about laughter and I dream about tears too. But it is these dreams that somewhere tell me what my heart wishes for as it is said "Dreams are wishes made by your hearts!"

Just like each one of you my dreams were laughed at sometimes and at other instances were completely ignored. Still there was a tiny voice inside my heart which kept saying, "Maybe there are not able to understand what you are saying. Why don't you make it come true and show it to them. Perhaps then they will." And so began a long journey of running, falling, getting up again just to falter one more time.
 
Yes there are roadblocks and pit falls but it never promised to be easy. For the smile that comes after all this is worth it all. Have you ever wondered what goes behind a smile?  Tons of joy, loads of hardships, fistful of dreams, pinch of sorrow , sprinkled graciously with a zeal to LIVE no matter what! At times I pinch myself to believe it is all true while otherwise I just continue to exist in that dreamy state for if it is a dream then I never want to wake up.
 
Today as I sit to write editor's note for the second issue of Writer's E-zine, all I can do is smile and whisper a quiet THANK YOU to Him and to each one of you for your faith and belief in me. At times when I had began to lose mine it is your belief that helped me sail through as it quietly reminded me:

P.S: Have you read my editor's note yet?
 
 
“Dreams are the seeds from which beautiful tomorrows grow.” ~Namrata
Not very long back Writer’s Ezine (WE) was a seed waiting to be nurtured and to bloom into a full-fledged reality from a dream that you are reading today. It is a moment of pride when dreams come true but it is a moment of joy when you see many dreams come true together through that one dream of yours. WE is one such dream whose coming true will ensure coming true of many other dreams too.

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.

Movie Review: If by Tathagata Ghosh – A Tender Portrait of Love, Loss, and Possibility

If , a 26-minute short film by acclaimed Bengali filmmaker Tathagata Ghosh, is a sensitive, evocative piece of storytelling that lingers long after the credits roll. Set against the everyday rhythm of life in Kolkata, the film delicately unpacks the story of a lesbian couple torn apart by the weight of societal expectations and dares to imagine a different future, one where a mother's love might just change everything.  What struck me first was the film’s raw, grounded realism. The characters feel like people we know, middle-class families navigating a complex world with quiet resilience. The world of If is filled with silences, glances, and stills, rather than heavy dialogue. Ghosh masterfully uses these moments to speak volumes, allowing viewers to sit with discomfort, interpret the unspoken, and feel deeply.

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.
