(Title : Stepping on the Rainbow)
I had heard a lot of praise for this book,supposedly an Urdu travel classic. Published in the 1960s,it won the Adam Ji literaey prize.
It took me years to find it,and a total of twenty minutes to skim through it.
The writing style is far from elegant,and the descriptions of the various places not particularly memorable. Includes chapters on Hawaii,London,New York,Mexico City,San Francisco and Hong Kong.
Perhaps what made it famous could be that it is one of the earliest travelogues in Urdu,when air travel was still a novelty. The destination cities could certainly have provided much more interesting material,than the author's lacklustre commentary.
It reads more like the diary of a wide-eyed housewife,than a travel classic.
