Whispering Wednesday



Today's Whispering Wednesday Word  is Amuse. 



Life amuses me all the times, sometimes literally and sometimes rhetorically. What else would you say when someone who herself is full of flaws deems it appropriate to find flaws with every single soul she meets; surprisingly enough even with few people who have been gracious enough to ignore her faults and love her unconditionally. Yet she manages to find faults with them, hurt them, ridicule them to an extent in public that they suddenly begin to distance themselves from her. And all she has to say is some more flaws in them because of this.

Just because someone is not the way you want them to be, doesn’t mean they aren’t a best version of their own selves!

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.
