New Readers of 'Between Eras & Expressions'


Happy readers:Mrs Shabana Khan (Lucknow), Mr Krishnaraj Singh (New Delhi), Mr T I Azad (Hyderabad), Mr Sabahuddin Imran (Bangalore) and Mr Abu Sadat (Delhi), with my book, 'Between Eras & Expressions'


The book traverses a variety of themes:

History & Myth-busting: One major strand challenges common stereotypes about the Mughal era, including nuanced discussions on subjects like the lives of Muslim women in medieval India and reinterpretations of historical figures such as Aurangzeb.

Travel Reflections: Travel pieces go beyond typical travelogues; they’re thoughtful explorations of places with personal anecdotes and vivid observations that aim to transport readers.

Cinema & Culture: The book includes essays on film and theatre, such as explorations of legendary figures like Meena Kumari and Madhubala, blending cultural commentary with narrative flair.

Light-Hearted & Poetic Writings: Some sections offer lighter themes and musings, often infused with Urdu couplets that lend rhythm and charm to the prose.

Urdu Poetry: A selection of my Urdu poetry, presented in both Nastaliq and Roman scripts with meanings of difficult Urdu words. For more details, e-mail at elahi.raza82@gmail.com Or contact 9870477658
