A wonderful translation and a great peek into the past. Some descriptions of womxn are off putting, but overall the collection of stories is funny and fascinating.

Chakiwara is a far from attractive locality of Karachi by the insalubrious River Lyari - one gets multiple insights into its dysfunctionality, squalor and rundown state - but the writer makes it charming due to the fondness mixed with irony with which he writes about it. His characters are somewhat caricaturish but highly amusing. The narrative flows very well whenever dialogues are introduced and can become a little turgid in the longer descriptions.

"Agency Rules - Never an Easy Day at the Office" by Khalid Muhammad is a truly great spy thriller. Set in a modern day Pakistan it tells the chain of events set in motion by a terror attack in Karachi. Politicians, the army and the state secret service agency all have their own ideas as how to respond or retaliate for the offence. But it is our hero Khamal who goes in to do the work.

One of the best inspirational book of Muhammad Khalid Akhter.If you find Mustansar Tarars travelogues a big over the top and probably fictitious, you will find MKAs journeys definitely less bothersome. you found his interior Sindh travels most fascinating.
