About the author
Mazhar ul Islam
40 books14 followersMazhar ul Islam is a Pakistani folklorist, poet, short story writer, and novelist.
Mazhar ul Islam is an original voice to emerge in contemporary Urdu literature. His short stories reflect a new trend in Urdu prose. Deeply influenced by the 'magical realism' of South American writers like Gabriel Garcia Marquez, he has introduced this style in his native language with some additional symbolism of his own.
He was born in a village near Khanewal in the southern Punjab where his father had then been posted by the Forestry Department for which he worked. After his father’s death in 1967, he moved to Islamabad.
He has served as Director General of the Pakistan Academy of Letters, as Executive Director of Lok Virsa, and the Managing Director of the National Book Foundation.
He has been awarded the President’s Pride of Performance for Literature and a medal for Revival of Folk Studies.

A lots of implicit information of Humayun Ahmed are come to know.
November 17, 2020
I have no problems with books about travel and/or memoirs. but this was barely any of those things. stop milking the same cow.
I bet there are tons of good memories of the Great Humayun Ahmed than the advertisement of Nuhash polli and his love for gambling.
"Joshua Brikkher Desh" falls in the same category i guess but wrote by Mystro himself. but this is absolutely nothing but a poor attempt to attract people to Nuhash Polli which has lost its magic thanks to their terrible marketing ideas and moment-making mentality.
honestly, I am disgusted.
not even slightly impressed. he was addicted to gambling... is that something I would like to remember about one of my favorite writers? don't think so. in our culture gambling isn't exactly appreciated.
what amazes me is his first wife and his daughters never tried to make money out of his memories. at least they gave him that much respect.
I don't know how long these people who worked with him and his gold digger wife would milk this cow.
What's next auction is undergarments?
