Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind/ by Yuval Noah Harari, aims to “..explore[s] the ways in which biology and history have defined us and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be ‘human.’” A rather ambitious goal to fit in less than 500 pages.

Anjaani rahoon par chal pada, Duniya ke reet se lad pada. Kal ka tha ek ajeeb sa darr, Par dil se na mukar saka.

Manzil ki na fikr thi Jeet ka tha, matlab kuch aur

Zindagi ke shor me, Sanate ki talaash thi. Raat ke andheron me, Ek saaye ki aas thi.

Tanhai basi mehfilo mein,jahaan Yaar bhi bane anjaane yahaan

Umeed ke bal chalte hai, Kaaton bhari rah par. Khili hain kaliyaan nanhi si, Inhi ki mehek le, chalte chale

My last read was “The picture of Dorian Gray” by Oscar Wilde.

The book takes you through the life of Dorian, a handsome youth who wishes never to grow old. This particular wish of his comes true, his soul resides in one of his portraits, So the portrait grows old while he remains young forever. A very interesting character in the book, is Lord Henry. A person with a completely different approach to life, and an out of the ordinary philosophy.(which can be debated,extensively) his influence on Dorian that makes Dorian live a narcissistic life filled with selfish deeds-without thinking defining them as good or bad ,keeping his youth as a shield for all his deeds.
