Mohabbat Rooh Ki Ghiza Hai- Novel Review

After Zulekha, which  was very well conceived, expectations were very high from this young writer. Kashaaf Iqbal's second story, "Mohabbat Rooh Ki Ghiza Hai" (Love is the food for Soul) by its title, looks like a tale of timeless love. Lets analyze has he succeeded in his attempt this time.

MRKGH is a simple story revolving around two characters only. More of a tangible matter, it simply gives us an insight about how the protagonists fall in love and with almost not much action (read twists and turns) come together. There are no such romantic moments that make you go "Lets fall in love" mode. Premise is not at all convincing. Plot could have been much better. Certain dialogues looked so rotten and freshness was lacking in the whole proceedings.

I belive it has been edited too harshly, as it has really lost its real essence and authenticity. This version of MRKGH looks scattered and too ordinary. I still hope, Kashaaf has written a good piece but all of it wasted just because of this poor "editing".
