Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus


A book written more than two decades ago, still holds the answers to a lot of your questions regarding relationships. Dr. John Gray, discusses the differences of men and women, metaphorically relating them to different planets. He explains that majority of the problems that occur in a relationship are due to the psychological differences between men and women. Dr. Gray states that although the culture of our society has changed, the needs and wants of both the genders are deep down the same, which both genders don't realize. He explains how with the evolution of society, women now have responsibilities other than the conventional responsibility of being a homemaker. These facts (and others as you'll read the book) have changed our understanding of both genders and we have lost the relationship skills our ancestors had. Both genders now want each other to become like themselves, ignoring the differences both genders have- psychological and emotional. Dr. Gray explains at great length as to how we are different from each other, how our communication is different from each other (he even explained the underlying meaning of commonly used phrases by both men and women) and how we can make it up to each other without comprimising our own needs and wants. A definite reccomendation, this book will truly make you understand yourself and your partner. Anybody who wants to learn about making realtionships successful and  doesn't know where to start from, this is for you!

How it Happened

The novel depicts a middle class modern Pakisani household. The story revolves around the marriage of two of the siblings, where the third one is our narrator . The first wedding was quite a blow for my favourite character, Dadi (their grandmother), which ended up being a love marriage instead of arranged-against her wish. The second wedding, which happens to be of her beautiful young granddaughter takes her by even a greater surprise. Both of the weddings challenge taboos of the family. The way Shazaf takes you through the events is strikingly natural and  humorous. Some of you might even relate to the events. A definite read for anyone looking for a light humorous novel. Grab it and laugh it out loud! Writer:      Shazaf  Fatima Haider Category: Fiction (light,humorous)

A Firefly in the Dark

This is my second read from Shazaf Fatima Haider and one thing is evident really: she seems deeply connected to her cultural roots. Both of her books depict the indopak culture, expressions and legends. Protagonists of both of her novels are younger girls. She either connects with younger lot better or is trying to connect with them; educate them. Haider's debut book had a rather realistic story where the eldest child was to get married and some unorthodox events swept in. After reading her second book, I'm convinced you guys that she is capable of writing a local version  of Harry Potter very much. This young girl Sharmeen lives with her Nani, mother Aliya, her comatosed father Amir and a servant Aziz. Aliya is not very fond of Sharmeen listening to Nani' s stories because her stories do not have the kind of happy endings that are meant for children and Sharmeen might get haunted by nightmares. For Nani, it is the weak minds that can not bear these stories. Sharmeen is goi...
