About The Book

"Budhoo and other short stories" is an anthology of short stories. It is not centered around a single theme, rather the treatise is very varied. The stories depict the Pakistani society in a unique way. You are sure to find satire, one odd love story, stories on domestic issues, social injustice, harassment of women, a little bit of fantasy and one odd story about personal acts of bravery.
Tinged with a smattering of Urdu words, the stories are basically meant for Pakistani readers. And it would not be out of place to say that they are equally good for the Desi readers, regardless of their current habitation.
Fiction is always inspired by real life and so while reading the book you may find instances where you might have heard or experienced similar events. Events and instances which we tend to ignore and abhor but are either forced to acquiesce to or accept. And in that sense readers will be able to relate to it and understand the message.
George Herbert wrote, "He that lives in hope dances without music". It is only when we accept our shortcomings that we can move towards betterment. And in that sense the book is a small effort towards betterment. The stories are purposeful and each one of them conveys a strong message. The book was initially self published with Auraq Publications, Pakistan.
