What books do you remember reading in your bachpan?
(unless you are still a child)
Holy remember reading:
(a) Taaleem-o-tarbiyat
(b) Nonehal Hakeem Saeed wala Ishtiaq Ahmed only for Inspector Jamshed, Mahmood farooq Farzana Imran Series [Chup chup ke]
Famous five and Secret seven as a child. Hardy boys as a teen.
Never read Angreji kitaben. Was that famous five by Enid Blyton?

Khala used to tell us Ishtiaq Ahmed’s stories but I never read them myself.
There were not many urdu fiction writers for youth. Ishtiaq Ahmed was the gem. Some others tried but nobody could come close to it.
You should try getting some books and read them.
All but Imran series! Aali pur kya guzri
Yes Ishtiaq Ahmed?s was my favourite during 1975-1978! Amber, naag and Maria!!!

Would reading Ishtiaq Ahmed’s novels at this age be interesting?
I read the following about re-reading Famous Five.
Re-reading the Famous Five and the Biggles series is not only disappointing, it’s mystifying.
I grew up with my mamus who had pile stock of Ishtiaq Ahmed books.
Actually our whole family had a lot of fictional digests coming at that time.
Some monthly subscription for youngest ones, ishtiaq ahmed for teens, imran series for elder one and for the ladies it was digests like Jasoosi digest, Adventure, Suspense etc.
My mom and khalas were addicted to those digests including khwateen digest 
Good thread btw :k:
Alif anar
Bay biscuits
That's the Urdu kiddy book which teach you Urdu alphabets
Didn't read any novel digest
Punjabi
But my both Urdu and Punjabi is broken tothi pothi
Trilingual or teetar teh batair?
Pakka pata hai you must be reading Manto ki PG-21 writing even in bachpan na
eik Tot-batot bhi hota tha.
Or was it just a story? Yad nai aaraha.
No idea what is manto ki pg 21
Seems like IT related, programming / biography etc?
Ji Ji Saadat Ali Manto was a Greek philosopher next to Aristotle and Pythagorus
kithay sar maaran
You sound a lot like boompatakha here.
And please ignore Holy Lota. He doesn’t know anything because he is literally too close to the ground and never left the loo.
Manto is an Afghani dumpling. Saadat means “lucky.”
Saadat Manto are lucky dumplings that are served during auspicious or celebratory occasions. The next time you visit an Aghan restaurant, be sure to order the Saadat Manto for yourself. :k:
Rehn de
So confusing
Velvy, dont lie. You are making everyone confused here.
Batameez ji, manto eik brown khatti chatni ka naam hia jo gol gappon ke sath khate hen. Due to its khatta-pan its often recommended to those having khatti dakaren.
Since those getting khatti dakaren are often prego women with age 21+ thats why its called PG-21 Manto. Inni si bat. Bus velvy ka to kaam hi ghumana hai

Han. Aur sirf tum hi ghoom rahay ho like Meena Kumari on a Pakeezah dance floor…varna Batameez left the scene long ago.
