hmm...

so you read these kinda books...

well i have read 'Sadat Hasan Manto'

his story 'Toba tek Singh' - i really luv it, its very touching and clearly portrays the plight of common man post the partition - and the best remains the last image of - No man's land.

i really like reading the writer's of that era. good to see people are interested in such works.
