Happy readers of my newly-launched book, '
Between Eras & Expressions'. The book offers a curated selection of my writings on history, travel, cinema, and Urdu. In essence, it is a journey across times, terrains, and tongues — woven together through my pen, passion, and perspective. In addition to these essays, the book also features a new collection of my Urdu poetry (in both English & Urdu script). In one book, readers will get the taste of both prose & poetry.

The first section takes readers into the fascinating world of medieval history and the golden age of Muslim scholarship. It sheds light on forgotten epochs and intellectual milestones, offering insights that are both enriching and thought-provoking.
The second section explores some interesting facets of various national and international places I’ve travelled to. These are not mere travelogues or diaries, but thoughtful narratives enriched with unique observations and anecdotes. Each write-up is crafted in a distinctive style to give readers a sense of being right there in the moment.
Write-ups on film and theatre bring out some stories of Bollywood in the third section of this book. The fourth part lightens the mood with writings on diverse and light-hearted topics, all imbued with a poetic flavour. Urdu couplets naturally find their place here, adding charm and rhythm to the prose.
The fifth section brings to the fore my Urdu poetry — written after the publication of my second poetry collection Aayie Dil Se Shayaraana Ho Jayen. The verses are presented in both Nastaliq and Roman scripts to retain their original essence and to appeal to connoisseurs and casual readers alike.
