- Bonding with books started when someone else read short stories for me not only at bedtime but also whenever I requested him, hehe they were my brothers. I had a desire that when I will be reading the same with that pride and one day it happened my first book which I remembered was Taleem O Tarbit ( having the short stories, fun,quizzes etc( for quizzes I was scolded many times as I don't know the answer but in later I realized the answer was written on the last page in small font 😂🤫) So this book was my first attraction toward reading.
my attraction was the library at my home but later. I remembered I received the book on my birthday and I wept that Dad is only filling his library. Give me chocolates instead 😂 (first wrong deal of my life😒😂) - 3 books from childhood(Ayesha brainstorm there would be something else apart from mischief and fun😁) Allah din, Bachon ki kahaniyan (stories for kids) and I don't exactly remember but it was the book containing poems for the kids. I would replace it with Ramsha 007 ( the book about the achievement of a girl who used her brain and tricks for solving each mystery case 😂 childhood mystery cases be like finding the missing thing, knowing the hacks to fetch food from the fridge, showing fake magical tricks to impress the colony kids 😂)
- Adult age I am not going to devote it to reading the stories for kids 😁 investing all of my effort (all means my days in reading and nights in imaginations 😁) in reading books by Nimra Ahmad who is one of my favorite authors her books Jannat k patty is stilled pinned in my reading list.. Bano Qudsia mam who has the proficiency in relating the real-life stories along with religion and society.Her book Raja Gidh is the way behind the storybook, characters from daily life pronounce the reality. And last but not least Zawiya by Ishfaq Ahmad. He remained always on the top of my list. I love to reread his books because there is much depth in his writings.In my first attempt, these were like stories but later I realized the spirituality, relation with life and social affinity they are having.
- I guess @amberkashif can relate in a better way with all these book love 😁
@preets come dear and show us how the Indo Pak culture in book reading is related.
@dlmmqb can you relate your experience here 😁
@merit.ahama , @brightdavid I knew you guys would be having some best memories with books.
@samsmith1971 this question moved me back into my memories and my day been started with these flashback memories hehe

Thanks for tagging me dear ayesha 😊 i was reluctant in making a comment here. As I didn't have clear responses for all the questions by Samsmith. But finally I am doing it for the person who tagged me here 😄
In my childhood if I try to remember, a book by Munshi Premchand comes to my mind. It was a story book, all the stories related to the problems prevailing in the society in those times. My mother used to read this book and i got it from her. But other than that, newspapers were the only source of stories and articles for me. I used to read that, that came from my father 😄
So in my childhood, my focus was only on the study related books most of the time.
So after my college, in my 20s I got inclined towards novels. I read a few books by an Indian writer Chetan Bhagat. Slowly and slowly my inclination turned towards books with spiritual content. And from this point I started reading a lot of books. For around two years I was just reading books related to life spirituality meditation and all that stuff.
If I have to name three best books I will include
Forty rules of love by Elif Shafak
The book of secrets by Osho
Many lives Many Masters by Dr Brian Weiss
That's all from my side😊!!
I remembered a few stories by Munshi Premchand, which were included in the syllabus. In all of my academic career, I was curious to read more stories from the author that's why I headed to the library. Usually, this happened in literature( in science books I am dead while finding the whole research reference from another recommended book 🤭🤣)
Thanks for your worthy comment 💖 it builds engagement and confidence too ,🤩🥳
Good to know that you too have read his stories 😄
Hope you n your family all doing well. How is that cousin of yours? Love and prayers dear!
she has started her job in Montessori school, in order to refreshen her mind.
The is for your concern sis 🌺
Good that she joined. It will surely help her to overcome this tough situation. May God bless her!
Funnily enough, my Mom had Many Lives, Many Masters in her collection. I now have it in mine but am yet to read it. It sounds like you found a way in your childhood to find reading material for you to consume ... and now you have the joy of discovering so many more books💗Thank you for taking part @preets 😊
Thank you @samsmith1971 for your lovely comment 😊😊
I have heard a lot about Raja gidh but never read. Zavia is the book that helped me combat my depression, the phase of darkness in my life. I found the emmitting light in it that lit up my soul.
Taleem o Tarbiat, bachoun ka islam and naunehaal all belong to childhood and the teenage. Ramsha007 is also one from taleem o tarbiat. Suspense stories by ishtiaq Ahmed are the ones I would still love to read.
Lol. I have also been reading digests since very young age, I guess since I was 10 years old. Actually I read everything that was available regardless of whether it belonged to kids or adults.
Seems like we spent our childhood in the same era hehe, Ramsha was my ideal, and the way I imagined her stories 🤭 superhero
Zavia is one of the best books which can assist everyone to tackle each stage of life 👌🏻 Raja Gidh explains the love, Halal relationship, and many justifications for proving Islam as righteous.
Stay blessed sis. 💖
Hehe. Taleem o tarbiat is published till date. I think I am 6 to 8 years older than you
Hehe might be sis
You are more experienced, mature, and brilliant than me 😍🤗
💖💖💖
aw, how lovely is that? Having older brothers to read to you. That is very special 🙏💕 I love the chocolate comment hehe ...nope go raid that library! haha. It seems mystery and adventure is the common theme amongst most children's books, and cuts across cultures and religions around the world 😊 I actually love that I have never heard of the authors you mention ...definitely gives me something to explore to broaden my horizons, so thank you Ayesha❣️ !PIZZA !ALIVE
