  Sakina by Saif ur Rehman Sakina is a debut book    by Saif ur Rehman. A young Pakistani author.  Saif ur Rehman was kind enough to send this book my way. I received my book in a very cute packaging.  Package contains a bookmark and miniature diary along with the book. Paper quality is quite nice; though there were some spelling mistakes but lets just put that blame on publisher I guess.  Coming to the story, it revolves around the protagonist Azfar shah. Who is getting bullied and going through dilemma. And in the middle of all the chaos he found a ray of love.  But life had other plans. Not giving spoilers here, I am trying hard not to tell you what happend but there are some points I would love to discuss.  Character of Azfar was going through alot. But again his life could be better , things could be easier for him, Only if Azfar was kind on himself as his mother once said to him.  In order to seek love, you should learn to love yourself...

The character of Ayesha, her mindset, habits, lifestyles show how Multan is evolving. How time changes everything. A conservative city silently transforming. The symbolism of a deer as a poor animal by Raza Masood shows how the role of a predator is destined. It’s written who will sacrifice life for one’s happiness. The story is beautifully fabricated, and I loved how Awais Khan brought light to the social issues that are mostly brush...
