Dear Reader, welcome back!

Today I received a message from Mumtaz Mahar, short story writer and critic of Sindhi literature asking me to meet him for a little chit chat that he was planning in a hotel in Karachi. I was a bit busy so couldn’t make it but when I went for dinner latter he was still there with Ghulam Mustafa Lakho who is an advocate in Karachi. As soon as I was there, we greeted and I happened to talk to him for a while. With in no time, Mr. Mahar told me that Jan Khaskheli of the news has published his profile in the News. This was it and I left from there.

As soon as I was back to my apartment, I searched the internet for the profile of Mumtaz Mahar by Jan Khaskheli and found it on the news website. The piece was very well written but I don’t know why editorial comments were still there in finished product. I wonder if it was a deliberate act or a mere careless but still I believe that Mumtaz Mahar deserve much more. He is a person who has stayed neglected in literary circles around in Sindh though he has dedicated all his life to reading and writing. Well it is a long story and I will try to write about it sometime latter when I will have sometime, till then click here for reading the profile of Mumtaz Mahar written by Jan Khaskheli in The News.
