After getting through this book for review more than two months I came to the conclusion that author has justified the title of book .”Pegham” is a collection of Urdu short stories having deep meaning if I put one Poetry in the review like ” Khanjer Chale kisi pe tuoTadpte hain Hum aae Amir, Goya Sare Jahan ka Dard Hamare Jiger main Hai” means if some one is hurt the feelings comes to me as pain of whole world lies in my Heart.. The title means message, and it tells us even before opening the book that the writer wants to share something important through his stories. Every story carries an idea, a lesson, or an emotion that touches the reader. The colourful and artistic cover of the book also suggests that the book is full of feelings, imagination and depth.This review discusses the style of the writer, the themes of the stories, the strengths and weaknesses of the book, and its overall value.
The review is written in simple language so that every reader can understand it easily. As his language is not difficult, and his sentences are easy to follow. This makes the book suitable for readers of all ages. Even though the language is simple, it still has beauty and strength. The writer uses emotional words, clear imagery, and realistic scenes to express his ideas.His stories do not move too fast or too slow. They have a natural flow. The conversations between characters also feel real. The writer does not use heavy philosophical sentences, but the ideas behind the stories are strong. Because of this balance, the book can be enjoyed by both casual readers and those who love to deep literary meanings.One of the biggest strengths of “Pegham” is the variety of themes like Sab se Bada Rupaya, Rasta, Raaz, Talash etc.
The stories talk about different aspects of human life. Each story highlights something unique, something that makes the reader think. Some of the main themes that appear in the book include human relationships, emotions, love and trust. The writer does not preach or give lectures. Instead, he shows these problems through characters and situations. This helps the reader understand how society affects human lives.Book is having Moral and Ethical Lessons about honesty, kindness, compassion and humanity. These lessons are not forced; they come naturally through the events of the story. The writer wants the reader to think about the right choices in life.Book also depicts Inner Feelings and Psychology.The book also explores human emotions like fear, guilt, jealousy, hope and loneliness. The writer shows how people struggle in different areas of their domain. Author also wants to highlight the various problems inside the society by medium of stories. I recommend this book for students reading at High Schools to College and Universities. This book is helpful for the research scholars. Book must be kept in libraries for better understanding of Stories of interest.
