    Book Teaser: Samast

    One lazy weekend while I was scrolling through my Facebook news feed one of the posts grabbed my attention. Let me introduce what I am trying to convey. Samast: Samast means All in Hindi. Written in a mix of simple Hindi and Urdu (with equivalent English poems in translation), the poetic works breathing inside the covers of this book talk about all the important aspects of life such as romance, separation, relationships, religion, society, experiences, self-worth, etc. Standing at the junction of three worlds i.e. The world that lives inside us, the world we live in and the world we want to create, “Samast”…
