RE: ہم اور اردو
You have to keep a few secrets to yourself: I haven't read Marx or Hegel. Maybe in excerpts, because it was important at school or for university. That's far too demanding for me as "leisure reading". Please take care of yourself, don't take on too much!
And 'Game of Thrones'. Although my husband devoured all the books in this series, I haven't read a single one. Not a single sentence. And I haven't watched it on TV either... 🤭
You are my sister for not watching or reading game of thrones. I can't read or watch something because everyone is doing it. It is in fashion, or out of fomo, how you gonna survive in the consumer society if you don't do what others are doing.
Will this society accept us?:p
I didn't read it even after my best friend's recommendation.
Fun fact: you can connect to others without these things too😉
Oh, come on, dude! We're all part of society and follow trends, whether consciously or unconsciously. Lemme give you an example about pakistani popular fiction. Young girls mostly follow Nimra and Umera, and it's a trend among young readers to read at least Peer-e-Kamil or Jannat Ka Patty for once in their life.😉...
You and your killer instincts😛
I think fantasy, action, and thrillers are more worthwhile to watch rather than read.
I don't follow trends but that show is true to its rating and hype. Haven't read the books because a friend told me both have different stories. Since I watched the show first, my mind can't accept alternate events or storyline. 😆
Hahahaha that means society will judge us for not watching it?
Same was the case with HP, its movies were outclass, however, there were many differences in its book series.
I loved reading HP books more than watching it. Infact, i think both were good and enjoyable, both have their own charm and shouldn't be compared.
Like the scene when bellatrix was giving Hermione a tattoo on her arm, and bro her screams, goshhhh, kamal krdia tha usne pori movie m itni acting ni the jitni us scene m the🤣
What do you think?
No nobody will judge you. I was just saying that GOT is not hyped, incase you ever make up your mind for it. But then again it's not for everybody especially if one can't stand explicit violence.
Books are always better. Movies can never capture hundreds and thousands of words in 90 minutes.
HP movies are great but again, books are far better. It's not the little changes in the storyline but it's the small details that they miss.
Are we not seeing graphic content on our screens for two years?
At first i would force myself to see it in order to know how privileged we are, now i see no value in torturing myself with these things.
Recently i have read Urdu novel maala, you may not know it, it took her(Nemrah) 3 years to complete it, it was three years of reader's blood, sweat, and tears.
An ultimate torture.
So yeah, i can't bear violence, however, bloodless violence doesn't create havoc much.
Reader's imagination is far far better than screen's determination to ruin it.
Maybe i will read it in the future😉
In case you wanted to read, I provided you with some important info (which may safe your time) about the book series 'A Song of Ice and Fire' by George R.R. Martin.
He started this series in the early 90s and published the first book in '96... till date, he has published 5 books out of 7. Two are still under consideration. I read somewhere that the author is unsure about completing his remaining two books.
Maybe hamari fotgi sa pahly Bhai baqi ki books publish kr day ga😉
BTW, what are you reading (in a parallel universe)? What about 'A Tale of Two Cities', bro?
Humse na parh hogi tale of two cities. Ajeeb si h wo, my mind doesn't register it whenever i try to read it.
It's like a classic urdu novel where pure urdu is used, same is the case with this book, it is written in English style that is no longer agreeable for this generation.
Boring si h, paise hi zaya kye avi.
Abhi prso ye book nikali h dua kro reader's block end ho jaye, my mind is preoccupied with many other things that i find it hard to read fiction again,
, nazar hi lg gai h meri reading ko to:(
Or am i reluctant to read not so famous books? Is that so? I need some famous books asap, i didn't know i was after fame-conscious-books until now.
What are you up to? Tell me more about song of ice and fire.
Sorry for the late response honey.
