Meeting The Zahir

Meeting The Zahir..

‘Zahir’ does this word ring any bell in your mind. Well, it didn’t for me, when I first read it. Yes, read it. This is the name of the book that I finished reading a couple of weeks ago. After reading thrillers, murder mysteries, I so very much needed a change… I wanted to read something that is abstract, something which is not predictable. When I am reading a paragraph, I shouldn’t be able to think about what is in store in the next one. It should be something that should stir a deeper me, waking me.
‘Zahir’ is based on such similar lines. This book is about a person losing his loved one, how he struggles without her, how he meets his Zahir in the end. It’s not like any boy-losing-girl-finding her-happy ending kind of story. It’s more mature in describing the turmoil once suffers in such situations. The same things which were beautiful and alluring in her presence suddenly turn gloomy and depressing in her absence. While I was reading the book, I realized it’s not only about the love that we feel for the special someone; it’s also the love that we feel for our parents, our family, our friends and all the things and moments that we held close to our heart. My Zahir is not a person, not a feeling, not a moment, I still not able to realize what it is…. Reading the book, I have just met “the” Zahir, Hoping to meet “my” Zahir soon.
