There was an ever burning wish in my heart to write in Urdu on blogs, especially when I am writing about Urdu books, articles and poetry. Recently we see Google translation everywhere on the web, it looked just one click away, however when tried it is not worth the effort, it loses the soul of the content, and impact goes flying out the window! , so there is no solution to an equally good writing in Urdu to download the Urdu font and all the applications to give it a fair chance... because language is a huge source to keeping any culture alive, if you want to know about any country's culture learn their language, same rule applies to Urdu, and Pakistan too.
Here we plan to talk about books written in Pakistan, By a Pakistani writer or about publications which represent Pakistani perspective . You can find reviews of books in Urdu or English both... We will talk about it all... from reading and writing to publishing...and from new ideas to changing culture of books in Pakistan.
