'The Shadow of the Crescent Moon' – Book Review
‘The Shadow of the Crescent Moon’ – Book Review
The fragrance of books clubbed together on a library’s shelves always fascinates me. SAA This time it was IBA’s city campus library from where I’m pursuing MBA. This also makes me realize it’s been long since I reviewed any book. I read a lot of admiration on Fatima Bhutto’s debut novel ‘The Shadow of the Crescent Moon.’ This book, published in 2013, is about 210 pages long and also got

'When Breath Becomes Air' Book Review
‘When Breath Becomes Air’ Book Review
The World Bestseller, ‘When Breath Becomes Air’ by Paul Kalanithi is a non-fiction autobiographical book of an American neurosurgeon. Though I read almost 80% of this novel during Ramazan but finished its ending last week tinged with emotions. The reason that landed this book in my reading list was it being a posthumous (published after author’s death) book and its central idea of how worth a

'Where the Crawdads Sing' Book Review
‘Where the Crawdads Sing’ Book Review
‘Where the Crawdads Sing’ by Delia Owens long awaited in my reading list as I was a little busy in the past months. But as soon as I got free, I finished this corpulent, richly described novel in the span of 5 days. This novel is Owens’ debut novel and belongs to the genre of mystery and romance fiction. No doubt Owens delineated every scene of the novel with great amounts of elucidation and

Book Review: The Subtle Art of not giving a fuck
From where should I start? Reading this book was like replenishing myself with valuable thoughts and immeasurable wisdom. The Subtle Art of not giving a fuck is #01 New York Times bestseller published in 2016 by Mark Manson, and doubtlessly it truly deserves to be ranked at number 1.
Moving forward, because I only have this blog to share my review with you all. This book has around 200 pages and

Book Review: Man Chalay Ka Sauda by Ashfaq Ahmad
Book Review: Man Chalay Ka Sauda by Ashfaq Ahmad
For me, the craving for reading is never ending. Last week, I got this book issued from my university’s library: Man Chalay Ka Sauda by Ashfaq Ahmad, and I read this over 300 pages book within a span of 7 days. The reason I chose to read this book was its thoughtful excerpts which caught my attention on different social media pages as well as my prior experience of reading Ashfaq Sahib’s Zaviya.

Tracking the old medium of travel: ‘LITTER’ (PALKI or DOLI)
I know you might be getting confused with this term ‘litter’ meaning trash or filth but Litter with a capital ‘L’ was the most commonly used vehicle once.

Called lectica in Rome and Palki, Doli or Palanquinin India, Litter is an old medium of transportation. Initially, there

BOOK REVIEW: HASIL GHAAT (part 1)
I am an avid reader of philosophy books keeping aside Socrates’ quote: “By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you’ll be happy. If you get a bad one, you’ll become a philosopher.” For your information, Socrates was also a Greek philosopher. Anyway I like philosophy
