Jinnistan: Scary Stories To Tell Over Chai by Ayesha Muzaffar
5.0
DISCLAIMER: READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.
IF YOU MISS YOUR NANIS AND DADIS TELLING YOU TALES OF JINNS, CHURAILS, CHALLAWAS, AND SPIRITS, READ THIS BOOK.
NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CHILDREN.
Really petrifying accounts of jinns and the lives lead by the people in their company. A truly gripping book that you can and certainly will want to read it in one sitting but of course you'll be too frightened and exhilarated to do so. Based on true events this book and it's stories truly send chills down the spine. It'll make you lose your sleep because of the accuracy and description of the events taken place in other people's lives.
Without doubt these entities are living among us, breathing, watching us, but we aren't able to see them except for few of the people... It's the grace of Allah that he has been protecting many of us. Many of us have also encountered such entities in our life time, seen people living with such things, and also have heard many of the thousand tales of jinns, spirits and their existence.
And to write a story based on real events requires a special skill, and the way the author has penned it down, really shows how well it is written. The way in which she has described the surroundings, the little little parts of Pakistani culture and its specialities. How she has described the extraordinary in the ordinary lives of people is worth appraisal and appreciation. It was ironically a beautiful experience to read a book entirely surrounding the smells of sweets, fruits and the things related to your local country.
A horrifying yet a beautiful experience to read such a book.
The fans of horror and thrillers head over here and grab your copy!!!

Purwa / پروا by Bano Qudsia
4.0
A story that slowly starts taking shape, a slow paced yet a beautiful story... It is a bit slow in the beginning but eventually the story gets more and more interesting, at last leaves you with a smiling face and warmth filled heart.
This novel by bano qudsia is not that popular but it certainly is beautiful, and should be regarded as a great short novel.
In this novel you get to know how little moments, how the ignored parts of your life and seemingly ordinary people change the whole perspective and purpose of your life. How certain emotions seem to weigh down the value of money, luxury, and certain relationships. It shows that no matter how much certain you are regarding your life, your plans and everything connected to it, life always seems to have its way of proving us wrong, such is the story of akhtar in this story. Akhtar, a handsome man, on his way to marry his aunt's daughter, and to inherit the money, luxury and the business belonging to his uncle. During his stay in a hotel, he meets a girl named Sofia, who belongs to East Pakistan. The story is how his life is affected by her.
A good, light, and heart-warming novel.
