‘My Skeptical Thoughts’ is a compendium of short discourses, wherein the author gives some against the grain opinions on a raft of subjects pertaining to individual as well as societal lives. The author homes in on some prevalent, erroneous norms and vogues, in tandem with suggestions to grapple them.This book is a humble endeavor to address some subjects that often go unaddressed. The author, through this book, do not assert to shed light on any out of the box and unheard-of matters; but this book does avow to devote itself to run-of-the-mill affairs from out of the common vantage points. It draws on the issues that not only haunt our lives as an individual but also as a society and as a nation. Most of the subjects discussed are overarching, but some are particularly circumscribed to the Eastern culture.
Born to Pakistani parents on 24 September, 1996, Suleman Nasir is among the emerging writers. Since his childhood, his soul-consuming avocation has been getting lost in the fictional worlds enshrined in the books. He singled out Agricultural Sciences as his career but also nurtured an affinity towards literature. Being consumed by his penchant for writing, he penned his first book comprising of poems and short stories in 2019 that went by the name of 'Ecstasy'.
After going through 'Ecstasy', this book became a must read for me. I loved how the author did not stick to a singular approach in his essays. Though there were many points where I disagreed with him, but his persuasive writing forced me to deliberate over the subjects. Short but thought provoking chapters with an appropriate balance of optimism and pessimism. Looking forward to more works by the author.
