http:\/\/www.zarinasani.org<\/a> goes live today. It is a website about mother-in-in law, Dr. Zarina Sani’s <\/a> literary works.<\/p>\n

I find it difficult to describe the range of emotions I went through while creating this site. I smiled, laughed, cried and marveled at the way she expressed herself. Through her writings I even got a glimpse of my husband’s childhood (\u092e\u0947\u0930\u093e \u092b\u0928\u0915\u093e\u0930) <\/a><\/p>\n

Never having met her, I only knew her through my husband, Tarique<\/a> , my brother-in-law Nadeem<\/a> and the others in the family. My father-in-law would talk a lot about her to me and he regularly read out the poems she wrote. So I knew her as a wife, a mother, a sister and an aunt.<\/p>\n

When I got a chance to go through her writings first hand, her poetry, her stories and her books, I discovered the woman in her. A strong, positive woman, deeply attached to her roots, family and beliefs. Her poetry touched me – she wrote from her heart and about the matters close to her heart; be it her children, her country, her love or her relationships.<\/p>\n

Today would have been her 75th birthday; I have transcribed and put on her website 56 of her published poems. It will be my endeavor to keep updating the website often. I will update the poems with meanings of difficult words, will post some of the stories she had written and will publish online her literary works on Safdar Aah Sitapuri<\/a>, Seemab Akbarabadi<\/a>, Sadat Hasan “Manto”<\/a> and Zia Fathehabadi.<\/a><\/p>\n

Today, Through her poetry I am sharing her eclectic world with the world. I miss you, Ammi, but I also know that your blessings will always be with your children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
