A sumptuous satirical feast!


Book Review - Better to wink at life 
Pages - 106

The book is authored by Mr Kamran Ahmad, the Chief Instructor at the prestigious Civil  Services Academy, Lahore. Undoubtedly he is a maestro in tuning satires.

Admit it, satire, wit and sarcasm aren't everybody's cup of tea .
Because those who laugh last think slowest.

Why should you read the book?

If you love immersing in the deep sea of satire, if cracking your wit on humorous spoofs is the fiery  passion in your life this book will be the soul food for you.
Embedded with small incidents that are a daily part of our lives, Mr Kamran has left no stone unturned to make us laugh!

This book is a feast!

Why this book isn't for you?

As a beautiful painting Is equivalent to a colour splattered canvas to the feather heads, similarly, if wit and satire float above your cerebrum, you will not understand the book!

But if you want to test your abilities in the field of wit and satire, jump in, Tiger!

My Say on the book

True to the meaning of his name, which means blessed, Mr Kamran has been blessed by a witty and satirical mind which has grasped the small niches behind the ordinary behaviour of people, which he has compiled in this book. He has hit the bull's eye with the one hundred fourteen instances he has used in the book. The tiny happy moments, the funny ones, the introspective moments, all are beautifully blended together to form this book.

The last chapter titled,
"the new lease on life", unknowingly teaches us that our happiness is like the hidden shells in the sea. The sea of life shoves it towards the shore for us to find it. But we are living life, in a monotonous way, ignorant to its existence.

The additional perk attached to the book is the fantabulous vocabulary used by the author.

Looking forward to increase your word bank?

Read this book.

Apart from entertaining you, it will bless you with a sound vocabulary.

Totally worth your time and patience!

You will never feel this is a debutant book of the author. The words belong to a stupendous magician of words.

Happy reading!

      MSDuans we are��
      What a horrific start of the year 2017 it is! ����
      I don't know how to react to this,whether to be happy or sad? Happy because its MS decisions and i being a Msdian should respect his decision or whether to be sad thinking of that we won't be witnessing him anymore in the Toss Time, Press Conference Time, first person to Lift Trophies, commanding orders to the lads behind the stumps and many more "N" number of moments where i will surely miss him in the state where i used to see him as a "Guy with Midas Touch" . This news came to like a what to say i don't know, seriously i don't have words to express my emotions. Why Mahi Bhai why? WHY? Why its always us(MSDian) ? Its not breaking, its Heart breaking��. Its not just a day, its a Black Day��. Its not just an announcement, its an official disappointment for all of us, yes for all of us,i.e, the Indians. Absolutely shattered by this news as soon as i heard it. Would you please tell us in advance whether you will be playing the 2019 World Cup or not? Because we don't want an another heart breaking decision from you which you take in a hurry, it may be a Planned thing for you but for us Msdians/Fans its like a wave or a current which suddenly gives us a huge blow to us. The only decision which you took on a hurry which made me happy was yours "marriage decision"( although i do respect each and every decision of yours because afterall you are everything for me MS ❤). You are such a selfless guy Mahi such a selfless person how can you be?...


      And it continues....
      This is inlh the first half which i have written.😔

An open letter from the tricolour!

Image
Dear Indians, It's the time of the year when I will be *in demand* again. So I considered talking to you all. I see you all everyday, from the clogged drain, as you are busy in your daily chores. I also see you from the garbage dump and from the terraces of a few houses. I'm the tricolour. I'm hoisted everywhere. If offices and governmental venues are ignored, I can be seen on the visor of bikes, hood of Cars, on terraces, on the entrance of houses and in the hands of everyone who is painted in patriotism. But this happens only on two days. After dusk, I'm back in my place. In municipal garbage dump, in clogged drains, on roadside ditches. I can be found everywhere. Patriots tread on me and I go unnoticed most of the times. There are some who have the courtesy to pick me up from road and keep me in the acute corner, so that nobody treads on me again. But alas, there are a few like that.  Others are ignorant. This goes on and on till my day arrives. I ...

The Plight of Old Aged People!

Image
Ephesians 5:31 of the Holy Bible says,“ Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” Little had one known this would come true in the worst possible way. Little had one known that's exactly how people will turn out to be. Selfish. Insensitive. Heartless. We all are silent witnesses to the massive rise in the number of old age homes in the country. We don't fail to discuss in hushed tones about someone who left his mother to wither away in an enshrouded old age home, or worse, someone who keeps his parents with him and never fails to torment them in the last few days of their life. We are silent spectators to the ordeals faced by old aged people in our own family. Where have we come to?  The plight of these old ages people is heart wrenching. Why do parents become a burden after a point of time? The will to stay ''alone'' With the advent of western culture, men and women of...

The Expression of our lives- Evoking a smile, Resurrecting a memory!

The fifteenth Edition It becomes increasingly easy, as you get older, to drown in nostalgia. ~Ted Koppel The 15th edition of ''Expressions'' is out.  It suddenly makes me Conscious about how old I have become.   The first edition of Expressions was published in 2002-03 when I was a first grader.  The cover page unleashes the feeling of nostalgia which generally remains hidden behind the cloak of maturity.  The Older Editions I remember how Hira bhaiya would enter our classroom with two bundle of new magazines and a whisper of ''Magazine aa gaya'' would ensue in the classroom.   Sometimes the class monitors would be called in the office which would provide us a moment for gossiping.   The magazine would be distributed in a scurry by the same monitors, with the teacher in the classroom repeatedly saying, ''Keep your magazines inside your school bags.  You will have plenty of time to read it later.'' 🙈 Brats as we were...
