Some stories begin as songs… and some melodies never fade.
I dedicate Blue Spanish Eyes to my late mother, whose beautiful voice often sang Engelbert Humperdinck’s timeless song. This story grew from that melody.

Dear Readers,

Call Me Nazia, my short story, has been selected as the Editor’s Pick of the Week on Kitaab.org and is available for free reading for a limited time.

The story explores identity, memory, and quiet rebellion — rooted in the rhythms of Karachi, with echoes that I hope resonate far beyond. I’d be honored if you read it. Thanks.

We have all had moments in our life that have shamed us, destroyed us and haunted us. Little Celina did, too; she hailed from an environment of lack. But should she be blamed for that?
I hope this story will inspire every one of us to fight our circumstances and reach our dreams, whatever they may be. After all, the battle is not lost until we think it is lost.
