This is a compilation of short stories, which usually reflect the true faces of the society and societal norms, which are being cared about more than anyone's self-respect and dignity. "Ghar se Ghar tak" Afsana depicts the most funny element of the people's mindset, which I read long time ago, and still find it amusing. Qasmi's writing is not boring, instead I find it of great calibre, progressie and intellectual.

گھر سے گھر تک ١١ افسانوں پر مشتمل ایک ایسی کتاب ہے جس کی ہر کھانی مءشرے کی اسلیت ایک برے دلچسپ انداز مے پیش کرتی ہے. اکسر کھانیاں شروں، بیچ آور آخر میں بری عام چلتیں ہیں مگر جیسے ہی آخری پیراگراف پر پھنچتی ہیں تو کوی اءلا کیسم کا پلاٹ ٹوسٹ دے ڈالتی ہیں. یہ کھانیاں میرے کھیال سے ١٩٦٥ کے زمانے میں اور گاوں، دیہی علاقوں پر مشتمل ہیں. اس سے خفا مت ہوں جایے گا. یہ کھانیاں بلکل ماڈرن اور عالمی محسوس ہوتیں ہے. ان افسانوں ک موضوع کبھی حسد، انا، پیاروں کی موت، محبت کے معاملے، زندگی کا مقصد اور زندگی کے مختلف مراحل ہیں. مگر پرھتے ہوے ایسا نہیں لگتا کیوں کے یہ کھانیاں اوپراوپر سے بری اعم لگتیں ہیں مگر ان سب میں ایک چھپا مطلب ہے

A compilation of 11 short stories about culture and how people try to fit in. The writer's description of situations is pretty realistic and direct. The stories are 100% original, thought provoking, and leaves the reader speechless. An easy Urdu read.

there’s a nostalgia in the stories woven that makes me miss home in a way that I can’t ever put into words.
