Bekhwaabiyaan

Bekhwaabiyaan. "Aisa to koi shakhs milaa hee naa thaa kabhi, yeh kisnay apne aap se milvaa diyaa mujhey". The entire year has gone in reflection. There have been a few who have been awesomely inspiring; a few who have been more than grateful that they could have been, but this last year has been spent more in reflection; in search of me; in searsh of the individual that I am; rather than trying to put people on a pedestral that i do not know they are at."

Though I am grateful for the Urdu edition of this book that got published by 'Welcome Book Port, Karachi', Sham Bhai, this is a reflection of your love.

Geelee Mitti

Published in 1998, this book is dedicated to someone I can't express my gratitude towards. This is that someone who has been there with me all through my highs and lows; my very dear Sharat Pradhan. Sharat, this is for you, "Woh to Sakhi thaa, de ke samandar bhool gaya, lekin mukhko katra katra yaad raha". "Sharat, ab main tumse kya kahoon?"

Jaane Kab Ye Mausam Badley
