How many Admins?

As much as, I was pleased to see STEP Development Organization's Facebook group, I am not very happy in seeing addition of another admin. It seconds the criticism that STEP has been run as family affair and how many admins you need for closely knitted members?

Ganji Bar - Tahira Iqbal

I have just finished reading short stories book "Ganji Bar" written by Tahira Iqbal. Nice work, broad vocabulary, her work reminded me of the experiment Mustansir did in Bahao with language. In her case, it didn't go very well with me..... 


She tried to accommodate many phrases which wasn't great idea especially when they were very local. It limited the scope and reach to broader audience.


Good book though...
