Piyal Saaz (Aymal Raza) Concludes... Novel Review by Shoby

Just where we were paused by the author, Boorhey darakht ke peechey do mohabbat kerney waley apni maa, apney baap ki zindagiyon ke hisab kitab ko niptatey niptatey apni mohabbat khatm kerney per aa gaey they, Aymal sets the right tone for the finale of the season. Baasil & Zimel are head to head now and lets see to which end, this calculus will lead to.

Every reader has a different tendency to perceive write ups. To me, Aymal is all about exceptional synonyms. She has that beautiful strength to exhibit things in an altogether different arena which makes it so easy yet appealing for the reader to grasp the on-goings. See how creatively she has correlated #NigaarKhana with #QudratKaKarkhana (the nature). Yeh chokhata aap ke banaey huey namooney ko hi dekh ker tayar kiya hai is simply marverlous. Hats off...

So Zimel heads back towards France and is standing right there at Seine river where she used to visit whenever she gets sad and back there in Pakistan, no one is there to miss her, to call her back except everyone.

Cold war is being fought between Basil & Nano on the account of Zimel and Yashaar is trying his level best to keep the things warm in the house. Nano is ready to sell Nigaar Khana. Baasil wants to shift to Karachi. Meanwhile Zimel returns to Pakistan and regularly meets Nano, whereas Basil happens to catch them once but he did not responded in any way.

She entered the house 28 years back without permission and remained there to repent for whatever wrong was done by her intentionally & unintentionally and now she left the house once again without permission even without notifying anyone. But this time she has a pertinent job  to do. Nano leaves the house to live with Zimel as the blood of Zeyaan Alam asks her to save from being Zeyaan or Nigaar.

While they were returning to France, Basil, Yashaar & yes Nigaar came out of the home in their search and persuades them to go back home in an emotionally enriched high voltage drama scene and then it was a very happy ending where bride & groom lives happily ever after.

It all started with some stunning visually enriched phrases. An old entity asking the EVER ETERNAL to complete the justice. She was all prayers and unlike her perception, her prayers were not unheard. Someone up above the sky was all set to do the eternal justice and at the end justice was done. Evils got the punishments they deserved and goods discovered heaven on Earth. 

There was nothing new in this tale of Piyal Saaz as far as underneath story is concerned but what compelled me to read it was the diverse treatment by the author. Aymal used some real novel approaches to depict the on-goings. To me, best part of the story was the scene featuring Nigaar & the three beasts. Aymal never let the delicacy of words go down while containing the grip in the darkness of the tale. Short romance between Basil & Zimel was charming especially that garden scene was a perfect depiction of the love.

Aymal has done an extensive research on the art of carving & this one is quite obvious from multiple scenes. She literally deserves a big round of applause in this regard.

I am still unsure about how to react for the finale of the story. I am delighted in the way that the story which was all about dark pasts & cruel presents with unpredictable futures had to have this sort of nice, feel-happy sort of climax but I still feel its a bit melodramatic how the whole proceedings were compiled at last. Nevertheless, Piyaal Saaz is a very good read and I am excited to read more from this very talented writer.

PS: Even after Piyal Saaz, my fav from Aymal Raza is Taveez e Hubb... :-)
