and A Hameed also departs…not sure how many people on this forum even know his name but
he was a phenomenal and a profile writer…as a **fiction author, literary critic, columnist and children writer, he wrote over 200 books….**romanticism was the integral part of Hameed’s writings….he was a fan of nature and beauty…he could never dissociate himself from the golden memories of Amritsar and Lahore….i fall in love with his writings after reading his columns on Lahore and Amritsar…..
Here is a link to his master-piece columns on Lahore, which allow us to look back into history and peek into people’s lives 50 years ago……he had over 50 columns on amrtisar as well but I don’t have link to those columns….khuda hafiz A hammed sahib…
Re: Famous Writer A. Hameed departs gently into night.....
I downloaded his book 'Dekho Shehr e Lahore' on Thursday and was discussing the same with my friend on Friday when he told that he heard news that 'A Hameed' has died.
He was really a good writer. We grew up reading his series 'Anber Naag Mariya' and watching 'Ainak wala Jin'. His book 'Dasstan go' sharing his memories of time he spent with gr8 Ashfaq Ahmed is a must read.
Re: Famous Writer A. Hameed departs gently into night…
OMG inna lilahe wa inna ilahe rajaoon
Abdul hameed was a phenomenal writer…passed away at the age of 83. he gave us the classic drama “ainak wala jinn” plus famous kids novel “ambar naag maria” along with many other novels/books.
allah un ko jannat main jaga de aur ghar walon ko sabar atta kare…ameen sum ameen
