A Gentle Reminder:

“Mujhe logon ne apne rawaiyun se samjhaya hai ke waqt hamesha aik jaisa nahi rehta, chahaton mein shiddat hamesha nahi rehti, kisi ke liye hum hamesha khaas nahi rehte, koi hamesha hamara muntazir nahi rehta, hamari wafae har kisi ke liye mukammal nahi hoti.”

On the 3rd of November, I went out with a not so close friend of mine, and ngl I never felt so happy <3

That day I heard her stories and she heard mine, I was shocked at some point... To the point where I didn't want her to go home, but then again everyone needs to return to their homes no matter where they are, I wish I had met her sooner is what I thought while returning to my home and I still think the same, i literally wish I had met her sooner

So, I don't have a long list of people whom I don't wanna lose but I don't wanna lose her, she's one of those people who inspires me to be better than who I'm now <3.... I get to learn a lot of things from her, things like if you are rude to someone and they still stay, they're keepers, and more <3

I wish she could read these paragraphs (but she doesn't use this application)... Well, it's okay, I know that she knows what I think of her and tbh if I had met her sooner, my college life would've been more and more better and I could have gotten the best memories. Even tho we didn't spend much time together when we were in college (we both were from different courses and branches), I have really good times with her, like good memories, she's like a lot different, I have good memories of her even if they are only a little <3

I love her, like a lot, it's okay if we're not close friends, and it's okay if we're not best friends, she says that we are on the same page, I love her bro 🫶🌕

May Allah keep her safe and healthy and protect her from all the evil there is to be, May Allah give her a bright future, May Allah bless her with all the good things that she deserves, May Allah keep her heart away from the things which may hurt her, May Allah always keep her happy! May Allah give her success! May Allah give her strength to face this world and this life! Ameen! 🌸

Love how Holly Black takes the most obvious and typical plots from fairytales and then twists them in her books, only to then end them at some absolutely cliché scene 🤌🏼

I am sorry, which ones? I cant see them in Holly Black books

Hmm. Okay.

I’ll start by clarifying (for you, anon, and anyone else who comes across this post) that when I say fairy tale, I don’t just mean the Beauty and the Beast category, I also mean those children books like Goldilocks and Pinnochio etc. as well as the many stories I've never read but heard from my dad or grandmother in my childhood (in urdu—not that they’re relevant in this post) and I’ll tell you why I thought so/saw (see) it as quoted in your ask, but just because I did doesn’t mean everyone would—and this isn’t to convince you either (but it low-key is, lol)

SPOILER WARNING: the books mentioned in this post may or may not contain minor/major spoilers about the plot but do include more information than the synopsis so if you haven’t read Holly Black’s books and would prefer knowing as little as possible before going in, I think it’s best you save this post for later <3

The Folk of the Air: My first books by the author were tfota, and the world, plot, and characters were quite refreshing to read, but then on my first read, when I read about the prophecy and the curse within the series, it hit me that within this ‘faerie’ story was an aspect of the ‘fairy’ ones, kinda like ‘beauty and the beast,’ ‘a cursed prince turned into a frog,’ or another that's mentioned in the 3rd book, but then, the way to break the curse was not so typical in my opinion, and I loved that. And of course there’s the famous parallels between Jude and Alice from Alice in the Wonderland; a human girl in a fantasy land where she doesn’t belong. (If you’re interested, you might like how it’s shown here by @rosiethorns88 and the third and second last paragraphs written here by @sensenoi unless you’re interested in reading the whole post, that is) As for the cliché ending here, I think those cheesy, happy dialogues in tqon are exactly that.

The Darkest Part of the Forest: in this standalone (which I wished so hard that I’d read before tfota), there’s a prince who’s banished and (I think, can’t remember, sorry) also cursed to sleep. So again, this was like Aurora sleeping after pricking her finger or Snow White after biting the apple, however, the way to wake up that prince wasn’t his true love’s kiss and he doesn’t love the person who finally breaks him free either, so I kinda liked that twist; the boy getting the prince instead of the girl. (You know, like a change of perspective in a fairytale retelling such as Maleficent’s pov showing love instead of hate for Aurora, I guess)

The Modern Faerie Tales (Tithe + Ironside): the story of a faerie raised as a human finding herself lucky enough to earn power over a royal faerie. For this ship, there was this storyline of ‘win your love by completing a quest’ and that’s what felt fairytale-like to me. Only, it was a bit twisted because faeries can’t lie, and that made the quest tricky.

The Modern Faerie Tales (Valiant): In this one, the ship and the insta-love were kinda it (fairytale-like), but then there was this scene where the girl almost lost the one she loved and the way she tried to delay that happening and then saved him was what actually hit like a Faerie fairytale to me.

The Stolen Heir (duology): sooo, I loved how the story started with a girl wishing for more in her life, wishing for magic, and then in a way, having that wish come true, only it’s a Holly Black story so of course magic only mostly brings horrors instead of sparkles, leaving one of the most common messages/warnings from fairy tales, ‘be careful what you wish for.’ I also loved that our fmc was made of sticks and snow, which again, is something I’d heard before in a fairy tale as a kid (I think it’s also mentioned in a grishaverse short story, the witch one? I don't actually remember, but yeah.) The twist added here was that, unlike those stories I heard where a girl who was made this way could be unmade by other people just as easily ‘if someone did this or that,’ (or maybe it’s still a part of the books, I can’t recall), Holly made Suren extremely powerful and almost invincible, and I loved that a lot. (Also, I didn’t see the Snow White story stuff here until I read this post by @of-the-way-and-wildflowers , but after reading it, I definitely do see it, and absolutely love it!) The cliché ending here, I suppose, is the way Suren came back?

I hope you got from this the answer you were looking for, anon. I don’t think I ever made a post on how I see fairy tales in these books before, so thanks a lot for this ask!

Ooooo quo can we pls some of see filling out 4 bats????

I’m intrigued

*shoves down the fact that i wasnt sure whether to write this either and ignores the one paragraph that is on the doc* Sure! Thanks so much for the ask, meri dosth (meaning my friend in urdu).

I got the idea while i was reading Gotham Adventures #29 and here's what's in the doc:

Each of the instances where the four batboys, as Robins, had to go solve a whole crime by themselves when Batman was injured and couldn’t help. They take things in their own way and save Bruce.

I swear i had more ideas in my head, but i think i got called away to do something else and got distracted? And then i forgot about it for a while? Anyway, yeah the issue is really good (altho i mostly wanted to make this fic cuz i believed that they could do better, so i made a whole doc out of SPITE) and yeah.

Thanks again for the ask!

Bengal literature at Delhi's CR Park

Chittaranjan Bhavan at Delhi's CR Park, the hub of the city's Bengali community, hosted the Bhavan Bookfest from 20 to 29 September 2024, just before the Durga Puja celebrations. Bengali fiction and non-fiction titles and a large variety of Bengal-themed books were featured at the fair, where small and large book publishers and bookstores from West Bengal participated.

Niyogi Books had a well-curated collection of books for readers of all ages – captivating fiction from its Olive Turtle imprint, thought-provoking translations from its Thornbird imprint, engaging non-fiction from its Paper Missile imprint along with enriching Hindi titles from its Bahuvachan imprint. The publishing house's youngest imprint Perky Parrot featured a collection of national and international children's literature.

Daksha Bharati, a children's book publisher from Kolkata, came with its collection of interactive storybooks and detailed atlas. “Children want to know about animals, science, and Indian epics such as Ramayana and Mahabharata. We have created a book on Jurassic World in Bengali so that children retain an interest in the Bengali language while learning about natural history.

“The old type of Atlas had only pictures and names of places but we have come out with a new design where we write a few paragraphs about the history and culture of every place with its map so children have a holistic understanding of geography. This is the reason why our Atlas is very popular all over India,” said Kaushik Paul from Daksha Bharati. The publisher was giving away complimentary paper hats featuring Daksha Bharati's logo and name in Bengali with every purchase.

Since CR Park mostly houses the Bengali community, leading Bengali publishers from Kolkata participated, Pritam Sengupta from Read Bengali Bookstore said, adding a lot of people visited the fair and purchased Bengali literature and some English books as well. Upcoming publishers from Bengal are publishing new content in detective fiction as well as non-fiction books, which reached a large number of Bengali readers, he said.

The IPP team picked up Contemporary Urdu Short Stories from Kolkata, translated by Afif Shams Siddiqi and edited by Fuzail Asar Siddiqi, An Anthology of the Best Ghost Stories from Bengal published by Bee Books, The Bengalis: A Portrait of a Community by Sudeep Chakravarti, Patachitra of Odisha by Anita Bose, and RK Laxman: Back with a punch by EP Unny from the book fest.

The period of learning the Arabic language may vary from student to student, considering their grasping power, dedication, and circumstances. Face-to-face learning with a private tutor is recommended. On average, if you stay consistent, it would take you one and a half to two years to at least master the basic Arabic required to understand the Holy Quran.

1. Purify your intention and pray to Allah to assist you. The aim is to seek Allah's pleasure.

2. If your aim is to study the Quran and Sunnah, learning Classical Arabic (Fusha) is mandatory.

3. Organize and plan. Time management is the key. Stay determined and consistent. Shaytan would try to divert you, no matter what; keep the momentum going.

4. Study under a qualified teacher. Show him or her your passion and zeal. If you're learning through YouTube videos, ask any teacher to be your mentor; they'll show you the way and help you clear your doubts from time to time.

5. Start with the basic books. The most popular ones are the Madinah book series, Arabiyyah Bayna Yadayk series, An-Nahw Al-Wadih, and especially Qissasus Nabiyyeen Lil Atfaal and Al-Qirat Ur-Rashida by Maulana Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi.

6. At the beginning, go through the basic books of Nahw (syntax) and Sarf (morphology) written in your mother tongue. This will help you understand the concept early and clearly.

7. Clear your doubts and don't be shy. If a concept is unclear to you, don't move forward; ask your teacher a hundred times until you're confident and convinced.

8. Solve as many exercises as you can. Practice consistently. Allocate a minimum of one and a half hours a day to solve the exercises.

9. Make use of dictionaries. Buy a mini one. Download the necessary ones—I would recommend Dict Box, Almaany, and Reverso Context. (I personally use something like 10 applications)

10. Do not write the meanings in the textbook. Maintain a separate copy and note down in it. The time you take to search for a word, learn its meaning, and pronounce it properly helps to remember it. This will increase your vocabulary.

11. Don't drain your time and energy on unnecessary decoration of notebooks.

12. The topic that requires precise focus in Sarf (Morphology) is Haft Aqsam or الأفعال المعتلة (variations in verb patterns). Once you make your way through this, Sarf becomes trouble-free now.

(The application السراج المنير is useful for Arabic verb conjugation).

13. Memorize the Sarf tables. It'll save you time and help you a lot.

14. The topic that requires precise focus in Nahw is العدد (the numbers). The rules are notoriously difficult—they change every now and then. Be patient. Once you make your way through this, you've crossed the bridge.

15. Read the 'Ibārah (passage) properly. Be proficient at identifying the I'raab—telling what the vowel mark on the last letter must be. I'raab is the end-case analyzer of Arabic sentences. The excellence of one's Arabic language will be according to the excellence of one's knowledge of the I'raab.

16. Translate. Translation is the key. From clauses to sentences, passages to paragraphs, translate as much as you can. Translate the text from Arabic to Urdu/English and vice versa.

17. Listening is the most important factor of all. Listen to a series of Arabic lectures with subtitles; it'll help you pick up many words (Subscribe to the YouTube channel "Scholarly Subtitles").

Move further to listening to Arabic lectures without subtitles (You might understand a word here and there in the beginning, but with the passing of time, you shall be able to comprehend the entire lecture). I'll quote Steve Kauffman; he said, “If you develop good listening comprehension, the other skills will come, the speaking will come, even your grammar, your accuracy. All of these things will come if you have had so much exposure to the language that you understand it when it is spoken by a native speaker.”

18. Reading a lot can ensure that you get the repeated exposure yourself. Until words and phrases are sufficiently familiar, you’re probably not going to be confident enough to use them. Try to speak in Arabic with your counterparts or make friends online who speak Arabic.

19. Listen. Read. Write. Speak. Repeat.

HTML Headings

HTML defines six levels of headings. The title feature suggests all font changes, paragraph breaks before and after, and any white space needed to give a title. The title elements are H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, and H6 and H1 is the highest (or most important) level and the smallest H6. HTML headings are the titles or subtitles that you want to display on a web page. Example <h1>Heading -…

Books read in May:

The Ministry of Utmost Happiness by Arundhati Roy: Easily the best book I have read so far this year. Experimental novels my beloved. The writing, of course, is beautiful and heart-wrenching and also really really funny. She uses irreverence both to sneer at nationalism and as a way of emphasizing the sadness and smallness of the ordinary concerns of her marginal characters. The whole story is different people for whom modern Indian society has no place coming together and creating a place for themselves, literally in a graveyard. The background and backdrop for many of these characters, and the story of their shattering that ultimately leads them to the graveyard, is Kashmir and anti-Islamic violence in Punjab. I definitely didn’t get everything in this book because I, as a white USAmerican, do not have the cultural and political context. And the book doesn’t spoonfeed that to you. I had to keep my phone handy to look stuff up, and I loved that. I think more books should decide that if the audience doesn’t know something that’s the audience’s problem. The dialogue is often in Urdu or Hindi, with the English translation following, which, again I loved. This book is definitely not for everyone, as it is very meandering and uses unorthodox methods of storytelling (a character finds a notebook, containing dark, tongue-in-cheek parodies of children’s reading exercises which together tell the story of a brutal day of atrocities. A newspaper relates a parable about futility and endless violence, but it is important who published the paper, and who is reading it, etc). But for me it’s now in my top 10.

The Taste of Sugar by Marisel Vera. This was a novel about a Puerto Rican couple in the late 19th c who lose their coffee farm after the American annexation and a disastrous hurricane, and are recruited by the US agents to go to Hawaii to farm sugar cane. I wanted to read this because I didn’t know anything about this history. I learned a lot! The author’s research was impeccable. Her writing was best when she was either giving sweeping descriptions of what was happening in a very zoomed out way (so, her description of the aftermath of the US annexation or the aftermath of the hurricane and the food shortages), or when she was writing a character speaking to another character as an uninterrupted monologue. Unfortunately, I found the way she constructed her characters fairly jarring. The main woman was written like a heroine from a romantic comedy, and this story was very much not that. I think her feeling constantly out of place was intentional but for me it didn’t work. I also... so this may just be me being a privileged asshole who is used to being catered to. But. She also had much of the dialogue in Spanish (as in, whole pages/paragraphs), but there was no translation, and (this would be on the publisher) no indication that the book was bilingual. So I wound up having to look up a lot of stuff, but not in a way I found... conducive to the reading experience or helpful. I did learn some phrases though, so that was cool! She also did something which felt kind of uncomfortable, which was giving the main male character a black half-brother who, for the first half of the book, only existed so the mc could show off how nice and good he was. This brother then turned out to be gay in the last... 10 pages, and nothing was done with it other than a very poorly executed “oh shit I think I like guys” moment... and then he gets sentenced to hard labor and we never learn if he survives. She also revealed that the mc’s mom and her “companion” were in a relationship right after these two women get up and walk out into the worst of the hurricane for NO REASON and die. And like... I get that you want to include gay people in your stories. But please practice more before attempting. I also wish she had spent more time on what happens to them once they’re in Hawaii, and the nascent friendship/organizing beginning to happen with the Japanese workers. She did give her women characters friends though! Which was nice! Glad I read it, but don’t plan to read it again.

Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women’s Anger, Rebecca Traister. I wanted this to be a different book than it was. I thought it was going to be a deep dive into the politics etc of anger and women. There was some of that, though most of it was pretty surface level. Mostly it was the author processing 2016-2018. Reading her hopes and expectations in 2022 was... disheartening, knowing, for example, that many of the women running for office in 2018 lost, knowing how the 2020 primary turned out, being in the middle of the metoo backlash, etc. She says at the end she wrote this in 4 months, and it shows. There were also so many places where she almost landed on some really scintillating analysis and fell jussst short of it, and instead either left it on an open question, or landed on an analysis which was fine but, imo, not quite there. Which is always frustrating. I think it’s a good feminism 101 book for someone who is outraged by the misogyny they see around them but is having trouble shedding the patriarchal discomfort around actually being mad at men. Traister is straight and happily partnered with a man, and she discusses how she balanced that with her anger at men as a class post 2016, and how her partner was supportive. Which is nice. However, not something I got much out of.

Swamplandia! Karen Russell. Did Not Finish. This is the converse of the NK Jemisin short stories. I love Russell’s short stories. Vampires in a Lemon Grove sold me on short stories as equally valuable to novels! Her long fiction is terrible. This is just... she read Bastard out of Carolina and was like “oh but what if this were whimsical and in Florida and straight” and nobody stopped her. Honey, you are not Dorothy Allison and you never will be so stop. Pacing was awful, tone was all over the place, it felt like multiple short stories had collided in a bad way. Her narrator’s voice was great! But the plot was just horrendous. WHY did she think a graphic sexual assault on a 13/14 year old was appropriate to include in a book that frequently indulges in being silly?? I know why, it’s because this kind of storytelling where silliness and unspeakably awful things juxtapose is a stable of a certain type of southern literature, but her execution of it was SO BAD. This could either have been a fun humorous book about a kid trying to save his family’s outdated and dysfunctional alligator theme park by working at not-universal-studios, or it could have been a good gothic horror story about two teen girls left alone in the Everglades being lured into the swamp by dubiously intentioned ghosts and men. But she tried to make it both and it sucked.
