AMKK- My Next Poetry Book...

AMKK- My Next Poetry Book...

MBMST was a dream and it went on to be a huge success... It managed to get quite a good volume of fame in the eyes of my readers in public and at the same time, it got some immense praise & appreciation from the biggies of the field... Well known poets of our era including Fakhira Batool Naqvi, Wafa Chishti, Naseem e Sehar, Col. Maqbool Hussain, Zain Shakeel and many others gave me some incredible feedback after reading the book...

To tell you honestly, right after the honeymoon period of MBMST was over (exactly three months of its launch), people started asking me about my next book... I was literally circled with queries like when I am going to pen my next book and I was always like, Sabar kero yaar... Abhi MBMST enjoy kerney do mujhey... But after almost three years, I made myself ready for the second book...

People are now asking, what kept me away from the next book for three long years... My reasons are quite simple... I wanted my readers to get comfortable with my style of writing and having said this, I dont want to give them the same old story in the same old style everytime... I am not a stereotypical poet and there are many hallmarks of traditional poets that are NOT present in me whatsoever...

I dont attend a lot of mushayaras, as I dont want the same ten, twenty poets to listen to my stuff and I dont have the aptitude & patience of digesting the poetry coming from their side too :-) (I know I am sounding a bit rude but this is what I really am)...

I want my readers to have something new everytime I write... This is the very reason why I am now a days away from writing novel/ afsana/ films reviews and blogging... Plus I was busy with other projects esp The Master Storyteller... Judging itself is a full time job and I dont want to compromise on the quality I give to the work I am associated with...

In short, there is a long list of things that almost intrigued me to stay calm and wait for the next time... Alhamdo LILLAH the right part of time has now arrived and yes I am done with the first draft of my next book.

Insha ALLAH when you will get to read my next book #AMKK (the title of which I am going to announce on Feb 14, 2019), you will defintely observe a change in the overall feel of the book... You will see new topics, new subject matters and new untouched things & phenomenon... Nevertheless I must say, AMKK is the next episode of the very same story which was narrated by me in MBMST...

Hope you are enjoying these waiting moments...

Stay Blessed and Happy Waiting...
