:) thank you! Well, I hope Quratulain Hadar Umera Ahmad does not get offended reading this, especially if she considers her Urdu to be of high standard :O :p Or perhaps, she could take it as a compliment, that her message is understood by everyone who tries to read her work, since she writes in simple language. I will inshaAllah have a look at these authors and try to get hold of a book to start with :) Thanks for the offer as well!

Sumi | 13 years ago

Oh well, even Umera Ahmad and Quratul Ain Haider's urdu is relatively easy to understand for example, umera ahmed, She writes abt social/family issues, dun know Sumi, u wud like to read it or not : ) http://umeraahmed.weebly.com/

Sumi | 13 years ago
