الفاظ کی طاقت از طوبیٰ ایمن - Daastan الفاظ کی طاقت از طوبیٰ ایمن Book Blogs
الفاظ بہت زیادہ طاقت رکھتے ہیں۔ لفظوں کی طاقت اوران کااثر ایک حقیقت ہے۔ ایک لفظ کسی کی پوری زندگی تبدیل کر دیتا ہے، الفاظ جہاں زندگی دیتے ہیں وہی زندگی چھین بھی لیتے ہیں اسی لیے کہتے ہیں الفاظ کا استعمال سوچ سمجھ کر کرنا چاہیے۔

Review
آخری سانس تک ازمحمد جہانگیر بدر - Daastan
”یہ ڈھاکہ کالج کے قریب ایک پُرہجوم بازار تھا۔یہاں ضروریاتِ زندگی کی تمام چیزیں دستیاب تھیں۔یہ ہر طبقے کے لوگوں کی خریداری کے لیے سب سے مشہورجگہ تھی۔ایک بہت اچھی مارکیٹ تھی جہاں زیورات، بیگ، کپڑے، اسٹیشنری کی اشیاء، بیڈ شیٹس اور تکیے وغیرہ ملتے تھے۔“
