Me thinks

This is one book that had me confused and hence the choice of reading it. From the cover to the title to the story to the ending I was experiencing a huge confusion.

This book speaks about a lady and her struggles with marriage. Given the fact that majority of the Indian women face this there was nothing unique in offering in this book. Secondly the book cover was eons apart from the main topic of the book. What didn't work for me was the dull writing of the story with no characters standing out in the entire narration. Added to the fact that the story seemed very breezy, more like a soap opera. By the time I reached the end of the novel I was like What? It got over?Because I couldn't understand the ending perhaps. Not to forget some poorly edited portions and jarring typos.

What worked for me : The way this book is written, it might be enjoyed by a particular segment of the society especially by women who undergo these things daily. Moreover they might even get inspired and think of doing something about their own dreams and desires. This book might just help them think about themselves and take charge of their own lives.

Overall a decent one time read for me. 

Foodie Verdict

This book is like jangiri - dripping sweet!

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.
