again the term ‘cheap’

Now you people once and for all explain this term ‘cheap writer’.. Do they write something against social norms? Bos o kinaar and all that?

Yehi to unka jurm hai… I am kidding…

I really don’t consider them real writer… koi bhi monh utha kar novel likh dey…

Re: Qistwaar Novels

here my meaning of cheap is third class....

Do they use third class language.. abbe tabbe chikne in their novels? or they don't have grip on language? I quite like the idea behind 'main Abdul Qadir hoon'... a digest novel. While our legends of Urdu literature are sleeping after writing something worthy in 1980s, these writers are trying to fill the gap to address the current issues in their writing. For this reason, I'll not call them cheap or third class.

jaisi rooh waise farishte....

The readers standard has also gone low. Gone are the days when serious work got recognition and appreciation from masses.

mahool has written what i think, main abdul qadir hoon etc are all third class stories, these writers can't give quality work and they can't be compared to legends whether they are sleeping.....

But don't you think that new readers can't link with the literature written in 80s and 90s. Things have changed a lot and thsoe sleeping legends either wake up or transfer their legacy to next generations instead of criticizing those who are at least trying to write something which is relevant today

i agreed that things have changed but they are not writing quality work, i will only appreciate quality work not sarak-chaap work whatever the time and trend is…:cobra:

There are some good works as well, which have have been appreciated by legends.

Hashim Nadeem’s ‘Khuda aur Muhabbat’ got critical acclaim from Ata ul haq Qasmi.

Karakoram Ka Taj Mahal by Nimra Ahmed 9which was probably published in those digests) also got critical acclaim.

Read khuda aur mohabbat it was average, yes many people liked it, every one has own choice.....

Re: Qistwaar Novels

i used to read those series in digests, suspense, jasoosi, imran series etc (those who don’t know these are names of the digests, not genera)
but not anymore. i like freedom of reading as much as i want and ease of carrying a book with me. don’t like fiddling around with a bunch of magazines looking for next episode or wait for the next one to come out.

hamdard nonehal hardly every had any “qistwaar” novel or story. it usually had short stories which mostly ended in one go. or if there were any “qistwaar” i recall some travelogue sort of stuff.

naunehal translted many works of Duma and Dickens, which were published qistwaar in 1990s. This include translations of Oliver Twist, Count of Monte Christo, Great Expectations, etc.

I must say, I wasn’t as good a reader and into novels etc when I used to read Nonehal as I grown later and soon shifted to jasoosi, suspense and little bit of imran series.

Was mostly into travelogue and science stuff during the days when i read Nonehal. and there was another kids magazine Science ki Duniya or something like that.

Re: Qistwaar Novels

^ lolz reminds me of times when I had nothing to do/read, was not home, or traveling somewhere. i used to keep myself busy with reading labels and wrappers of anything that i could get my hands on. even ingredients of a medicine, notice boards, timetables of trains.
