“Eternity دونگا پھر joy میں علیزا کو پہلے” AOA dear reader, In this blog post, I am gonna share with you a summary & review of my all-time favourite Urdu novel “Amar Bail,” written by the legendary author “Umera Ahmed”.  “AmarBail !”... Holly Allah! what an amazing, incredible and phenomenal novel that is!

 بسم اللہ الرحمٰن الرحیم AOA lovely people 💞.

AoA dear Reader:) Today I am gonna share with you a story, so let's get started: A few days ago I visited a local market with my mom and cousin. While my mom was busy purchasing a few items from a store. Our attention was caught by a beautiful shop ( selling wedding items). I captured a few snaps of the shop on my phone and meanwhile, these boxes caught my attention. Trendy Dry fruit boxes. This is a new trend in the market. “Trendy Dryfruit boxes”. Said, my cousin. It has been ages since I attended a marriage ceremony (introvert u know;) I wasn't aware of the trend. Before we left the shop I clicked a few photos of these dry fruit boxes. Not because I liked them but instead because I was moved to the core. “This is extravagance, people are making life hard for themselves,”  I said to my cousin. Yeah, but what can we do? I kept quiet. Back home I was thinking about this matter for 2 whole days, I discussed this with my parents too. Now I want to share it with you, maybe t...
