Introduction to My Short Story Fiction: Lover For A Winter

“Since 1946-1955 I had been working as Editor in Chief for Exceptional Writers magazine (EW!) in Canada. It was in November 1946 that we launched a new project for the success of our business. The project was named “Post-World War II Best Photo Stories”. We interviewed thousands of potential journalists and photographers. We selected the best 200 among all the candidates. To my astonishment, there was a very young Journalist/photographer named Zubair Bakhtyar at the age of 20 whose self-belief was beyond the heights of Mount Everest. He was selected for the most difficult and brutal task anyone had imagined at that time. His job was to take photos and write true stories about the residents of Yakutsk city, Russia. The story that I would be relating to you is selectively taken from the letters that Zubair mailed us from Russia.” – Khairuddin Ayubzai

The difference between Books and Movies!

Books are lengthy but movies are short, is it really the vital difference?? Some say movies are more interesting than books, because you spend just under two hours to get the whole idea and move on to the next story (another movie), but with books you need to make a plan and spend hours sitting to finally understand the whole story. Let's count the pros and cons of each one: 1- Books take time but movies don't. 2- Movies are visual and more interesting but books are not visual and gets boring sometimes. 3- Books dig deep and teach life lessons, well, movies run on surface and its ideas are not well received for long term. 4-Books are more inspirational than movies, because you spend too much time with it. Considering the number of movies and books that you have watched or studied in your life, I am sure every one remembers books better than a lot of movies ( I mean the content not just the name). So, when was the last time you saw a great movie? I guess a very long t...

I love to see you smile !

We all are humans and we love humans to smile. How do you live in peace if you take away the happiness of another fellow on earth? How do you love your children if you do not pay attention to all other children living in crisis? How do you eat peacefully if you know there are millions waiting for a loaf of bread that would never come. We can not change the world instantly as we know it but at least each one of us could become a role model for our children. At least we would not be accountable for our conscience. Our beloved prophet MUHAMMAD (peace be upon him) said 14 centuries ago: "Love also for others what you love for yourself". We are living in a completely different world where the quest for shelter is replaced with a luxury house, food with a beautiful car, a honest friend with a sexy girlfriend and more. However, considering all the above requirements of the new world order there are still many people who would become the happiest people on the planet if fo...

A scene from my upcoming Novel !!

I was recently hired. I belonged to the village of Karghan. There was a single family member that was left to me in my whole life, Azim, my 2 year old son. Some memories last for years and some for lifetime, the bitter ones last longer and the disastrous ones are eternal. One night I was leaving my home to go over to my friends. I still remember the innocent, sweet-natured look of my wife, Sahar, standing in the door and with those benevolent eyes set on me the whole time, she said, “Dear! Please take Azim with you for a few hours so I could freely tidy your rooms.” I said reluctantly, “All right, bring him over.” I allowed, frequently and willingly that between us she had to be dominating most of the time and certainly of all the positive traits any husband could have to secure lifetime love from his wife was the same trait I had and I knew she loved my for that. I took Azim and briskly walked towards the door and she called from behind, “Dear! Wont’ you say ba’bye?” I was...
