The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

My opinion about the author is that he is too inspired from Eastern and Arab part of the world, especially the literature. His book's names and characters reflect this inspiration: Aleph, Maktub, Alchemist, (the female in the novel is Fatima). The story of Alchemist might be inspired of copied from one of the Arab tales. I have read it earlier , do not remember when and where but when I read this novel I realized that this is not something new, however the treatment to the story has been changed but the central idea is the same.

You may disagree with me, But I am SURE..!


“When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his dream,” said the alchemist, echoing the words of the old king.

"Wherever your Heart is, There you will find your Treasure"

“Love is the falcon’s flight over Desert's Sands"

“This is what we call love, When you are loved, you can do anything in creation."

Call of the Wild: Jack London

Story of a House Dog who was sold, abused, kept in chains and finally ran away to lead a pack of Wolves. A story of courage and Wisdom. The rule of Thumb is "Survival of the Fittest"


You can find many habits common with our Bureaucracy ;)

گلستانِ ادب کی سنہری یادیں: اے حمید

Although one more repetition of the same nostalgia as in چاند چہرے but still marvelous. After Mustansar Hussain Tarar, A. Hamid is the one who can make you fall in love with all those people n places he has met or been there. I bet..!

عنبر ناگ ماریہ : اے حمید


بچپن میں پتہ نہیں کہاں سے عنبر، ناگ ماریہ سیریز کے دو ناول ہاتھ آگئے تھے ، بہت ہی پسند آئے تھے، اب پڑھنے سے ڈرتی ہوں کہ کہیں وہ مزا دوبارہ نہ آیا تو . . 







Tales of Long Ago: Enid Blayton

If you did not read children books in your childhood ... it's never too late :)


The Winner Stands Alone: Paulo Coelho

Would never recommend this to anyone. What you can only be interested into: how to kill people without getting suspicious..!

A Thousand Splendid Suns


One of the books that give insight to Afghan society n culture. Takes the reader through different political episodes and how those periods affected people's life, especially of women.
