About Me
love all three Urdu Novels however in my opinion the best is Udas Naslain (Weary Generations). I have read it multiple times so far. That's how good it is. I read it for the first time when I was around 15 years. I didn’t like it as it was too long and a bit too dry (by that I mean without a major romantic theme.) Then I read it again when I was around 25. This time I liked it more. And then I read the English translation by the author himself. That’s when I realized how amazing it is. By then, I have read War and Peace by Tolstoy which is touted as the greatest novel in world literature. (By the way, if an ordinary human being says that he has read War and Peace, he is lying as I am.) In my view, you cannot read that novel full with all its names written with all the pomp and show every time it appears in the prose.)
