If Mortals Had Been Immortals and Other Short Stories By Nadira Rahman & Zaira Rahman

Life gives us a second chance. Life nurtures human nature. Nature that we try to understand all our lives – beautiful and ugly, bitter and sweet, happy and sad, fulfilled and empty and much more. But wherever life is, the fundamental human nature is the same.

It’s about human conflict, blame game, what a person pretends to be and what he truly is. It’s about saying one thing and practicing another and treating truth as crap. It may take time to bring about change, but nothing goes in vain…blunders, crisis, accidents and choices make you what you are today.

This book touches upon life and human nature in four sets of short stories, which are basically satirical in nature. The stories make use of elements such as harsh realities, humorous incidents, shunned human lives and absolutely serious issues of life and humans across the world with no boundaries.

It is an experimental writing in which serious issues have been highlighted. People around the world and across culture can relate to the ideas that have been penned down. It is for the reader to figure out where does he fit in this thread of life.

By this book we do not aim to teach or preach, but do encourage individuality and belief in one’s opinions and convictions, no matter how old or young you are, it’s never too late to know and be yourself, despite all the barriers raised by this world.

Now also available in ePub format at iBookstore and Barnes & Noble NOOK Bookstore.

"Pakistani Media: The Way Things Are" by Zaira Rahman

It is very difficult to understand how people around the world believe things about Pakistan that are untrue without actually ever knowing how things really are. The perceptions that are embedded in the minds are so strong that it is almost impossible to clear them out. The conviction with which the false image is accepted is even more appalling. 

This book highlights one of the most essential industries of the world i.e. media and shows how media alone has been a crucial part of Pakistan’s existence and progress. It is an effort to show how Pakistani media started and how much has it evolved over the years. The media is a representation of a society and one must know at least a bit about Pakistan’s media before creating perceptions that do not fit our society as a whole. Therefore, this book is about understanding how things really are in Pakistan through media giving an unbiased overview of the situation.
