Happy readers of my two books,'
The Fascinating Tales of Urdu & its Courtyard — Dilli' & '
Between Eras & Expressions': Mr Nehal Hasan, Mr Syed Ishtiyaq Abedin, Mr Nasir Abedin and Mr Mohammad Hoda, of San Diego, California, USA.
The Fascinating Tales of Urdu & its Courtyard — Dilli (Rs 500), whose second edition is now available after first edition was sold out, offers a glimpse into Delhi’s changing history, culture, language and society. The readers have praised the book for its contents as well as the way it intertwines, captivating anecdotes from the city’s past with the rich and poetic journey of Urdu — a language that was born, nurtured, and blossomed in the very heart of Delhi.
'Between Eras & Expressions'(Rs 450) offers a curated selection of my writings on history, travel, cinema, and Urdu. 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.
People from diverse fields and age groups have been appreciating both the books.
