  Last weekend took me to Nathiagali for a conference. The flight was from Karachi to Islamabad and then three hours by car to Nathiagali. I was amazed and mesmerized by the beauty and quiet of this place. I stayed at a place called 'Summer retreat'.  I had left the heat of Karachi to see the winter of Nathiagali. I woke early only to find that breakfast will be served three hours later. I usually take an electric kettle, tea bags and rainbow milk with me for readily available chai. So after a cup of chai, I decided to take a mini hike around.  Pictured is the morning view.    Adjacent to Summer retreat was Hotel green retreat. Near Nathiagali is a place called Abashar. Its a waterfall area. Pictured is me with my friends figuring ourselves out for a group picture. It has multiple small dhabas and tables and chairs placed along the route of waterfall. They serve garam garam pakoras with chai.    ...

Its a new 'phase' of life. Reading books. I get hold of this book via 'Book Bee', an awesome site on facebook. I did enjoy reading it. The narrative is relatable. That's why maybe. Growing up with the movies he made. The 'kuch kuch hota hay' and 'kal ho na ho's. The writer talks pretty much about everything in his life. The ups and downs, the worries, the vulnerabilities. There are chapters on Shah Rukh Khan and Koffee with Karan  which continue your interest. No you will not laugh or cry with him. But it will still be a good read. It added some words to my vocabulary, like 'unaware', and 'one of the brightest bulbs'. So from a wannabe writer's perspective, mission completes.
