Mahmoud Darwish: Love and Loss Through Verse

Mahmoud Darwish, the luminary of Palestinian poetry. Born amid the tumult of Galilee in 1941, beyond mere themes, his poetry was an impassioned heartbeat for Palestine, a symphony of compassion and love that flowed like a river, embracing the collective soul of his people.

Neither the City of Gardens nor the City of Love: Lahore

Recently, I stumbled upon a magnificently ornate book on Mughal Architecture titled “Lahore: History and Architecture of Mughal Monuments” by Anjum Rehmani. A deep delve into the influences and achievements throughout the Mughal period, starting from pre-Mughal history, the book explored new aspects of Lahore that I had yet to see around me.
