"Woh jo Devaar ko na Chaat Sakay"
Intizar Hussain’s short story resonates with symbolism that is pertinent to a very contemporary reading of the tale. Employing the language of traditional storytelling techniques and folklore, the story demonstrates his versatility and confirms his stature as one of the finest authors of Urdu literature.

"Bhabie"
Shehnaz (Bhabie) finds solace and comfort in food as she employs it to build a fortress around her fast changing circumstances. Ismat Chughtai’s deft analogies and skilful use of symbolism make this seemingly light hearted and humorous narrative significant for questioning perceptions of the self, beauty and authority.

"Pukka Gaana"
Zamiruddin Ahmed’s nuanced works are distinct for their unassuming and direct narrative style. His compelling works draw upon themes of social relationships, deception, loss of innocence, domestic estrangement, and the suppressed sexuality of middle-class women. Pukka Gaana revolves around the unusual appearance of a young man in the life of Shabbo. The story is revealed through a series of conversations and monologues by the different characters within the story.
