Re: Your Favorite Character from Urdu Literature

Umera Ahmed recently said that none of her characters inspired her except the character of Aks from her latest novel, but I think she really idealised Salar’s character in ‘Peer e Kamil’

Re: Your Favorite Character from Urdu Literature

True. Urdu writers have mostly been busy writing poetry. There have not been many good prose-writers or story-tellers, except may be Khawateen Digest novel writers.

Re: Your Favorite Character from Urdu Literature

Re: Your Favorite Character from Urdu Literature

You two admit that you read stories from Khwateen digest :ASA:

Re: Your Favorite Character from Urdu Literature

Oh cr**. You got it. oops.
But it is when I was in high school, and also I quickly moved away. "uss ne safaid tang-pajamay par gulabi qameez pehni hui thi. haathon mein phoolon ke kangne ghazab dha rahe the. Farrukh ne usay dekha to dekhta hi to reh gaya."

Re: Your Favorite Character from Urdu Literature

if we are talking about factious characters with long sequels, Umro Ayaar aur uski zambeel

36

Re: Your Favorite Character from Urdu Literature

I also liked Umro Ayyar and disliked Tarzon. Tarzon stories used to be all the same

37

Re: Your Favorite Character from Urdu Literature

Writer of Umro Ayyar was very creative person, he wrote about all sorts of Kala, Neela, Peela, Lamba, Mota deos, unimaginable islands, species of trees yet to be discovered and all that awesome stuff : D

Re: Your Favorite Character from Urdu Literature

I like the line when Umro Ayyar killed any of the deo and then came the voice ' Ah mera naam fallaN dev tha, mujhe Umro Ayyar ne Mara' and then Umro Ayyar saying 'Khas kam jahan Pak'.
