Book of the Week
The Last Letter from My Grandfather. Content Warning.
When my grandfather passed away, I felt nothing but emptiness. He was always quiet, never told stories, and I assumed he had taken all his thoughts with him. But one week later, my mother handed me an old envelope hidden inside a drawer. What I read in that letter broke me — and rebuilt me at the same time.

The letter that changed everything
Tania was 28, and from the outside, everything looked perfect. She worked as a customer relationship officer at a prestigious bank in Lahore. Her hair was always tied neatly, her heels clicked with authority, and her phone buzzed constantly with updates, approvals, and balance sheets. Her family was proud. Society approved. She was “settled.”

Every Mirror in This House Lies Differently
The first time I noticed something wrong with the mirrors was the day after my mother’s funeral. I was brushing my teeth in the upstairs bathroom, the one she always kept too clean, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw her. Not her ghost or some shadowy presence — no, it was her, alive and vibrant, humming some old song while brushing her hair, just like she did every night.

The Man Who Collected Silence
No one ever noticed Mr. Yusuf. Every morning, he left his quiet apartment on the top floor of an aging brick building in the heart of the city, a city that never stopped humming. With a wool coat too big for his shoulders and a little leather notebook always in his hands, he drifted through the crowd like smoke—seen by many, remembered by none.

The Last Bookstore on Earth
They stopped printing books before I turned twenty-five. Not officially, of course. But you could feel it happening. Libraries turned into “digital immersion centers.” Bookstores became yoga studios or coffee labs. I remember walking into one with my niece once, trying to show her what a “bookstore” used to look like. She thought I meant the Kindle section at Target.
