― Jamaluddin Jamali

“Jamaluddin Jamali is a journalist and writer. He writes crossover book club, literary fiction and his stories take you inside the brightest and darkest chambers of human heart and mind, deep into the house of desires and fears, the parts of human nature which are universal, such as love and fear, bliss and sorrow, happiness and grief, hope and depression, light and darkness. His stories may take you into the dark rabbit holes miles aways from hope, but then bring you back to new beginning and hope, for hope is always there, even when it doesn’t seem to be there, like a new morning or a new day that is always there, waiting behind some invisible corner, waiting for the right moment to come and fill your heart with hope again. Like a new partner who asks you to forget the bad past, take a new start and smile again, and then again. Keep smiling. For that is life. A smile just. At the end of the day. A smile that you want to remember.

“The rift made her a student of the fine arts; she got a university degree, so she may paint her own tears on the canvas, and she did paint her tears; a weeping Nitasha, weeping in her art beautifully, her white tears shining like pearls. She never said the tears in the paintings were hers. Aadam knew. He had seen her crying.”

“Known is Nothing, Unknown is Everything; This is Half Hidden World.
We know only a little about ourselves, even ourselves. So blind are we that more often than not we never know what we're going to do next, Love or Hate. Like what we are for ourselves, a part of our soul mates, our boy and girl friends, also remains Unknown to Us, quite naturally, despite living together under the same roof, eating together, sleeping together....And that hidden part makes us ex-things to others.”

“From History to Chance
The river of time was flowing on its way, and I was swimming over its honey coloured surface with eyes closed. Does time move? It’s debatable. But we definitely move, age to age, with time and away from it, from its unmoving faces. To see its new faces. In its widest, longest and strangest art gallery.”

“Love
Later when her breath caught pace and became irregular, I looked for a level place. Sofa. Carpet or Bed? Yes bed. The bed was waiting for us since times..I lifted her STIMULATED TENDERNESS up in my arms and took her to stone age. To be one with her. To race with her. On the way of desires. In the transition, she lifted herself up and kissed me, her arms looped around me, her hair suspended in the air.”
