Bano Qudsia is undoubtedly a great writer and narrator, who makes you think about life, question yourself, makes you realize what you are really doing, what you are making of yourself.
This book certainly comprises of the stories that are well written, are thought provoking and totally grip you. Each story has its own beauty, all of the stories have many lessons in between and at the end.
The way in which the stories are narrated makes you get indulged in the story and also the characters and their circumstances seem to connect with yours. I would say it is close to reality. The situations which we face in our daily life are written with such beauty.
These stories take time to be digested as there are many concepts in between. These stories really make you think twice. They leave you with so many thoughts, so many ideas, so many questions...
I would say I absolutely enjoyed reading this book. It really has proven it's title. It comprises of the stories that actually are essential for existence, for life.
Although each and every story is one of its kind but my favorite from this book is " Sadma e awaaz ", astonishingly different, thought provoking, and inspiring.
Hope you get your copy too and read this gem. ❤️
