However, post-'47 I think they hardly ever got to meet, because my parents (and I) spent a lot of time abroad on account of my father's foreign postings. But I do recall my mother (passed away Year 2000) going off to meet her in Karachi, once ... it's a regret that I didn't try and learn all that I could from their association. Least I can do now is introduce my kids to this GIANT of a human being, and hope they take it on themselves to become genuine admirers of Ainee.

Aag ka Darya is an incredible novel, which I could only read in translation. But even in translation it has such power and such an epic sweep. Thank you for your beautiful and moving tribute to a great artist, and a great human being. A whole era comes to an end with the passing of someone like Qurratulain Haider.

Finally, the sad day came and she left us for good. Despite the impossibility of circumstances, I had a great desire to meet her some day, while she was a living legend. The first short-story of her that I read, I found it so engrossing that I made a resolve to read all her works. Though, I am far short of fulfilling that resolve, whatever little I have read of her has left a deep influence on me and changed some of my perceptions of the world and life. Thanks to her name and mention, and the orkut community on her, I also got introduced and acquainted with some great people, significant of them being the owner of this blog. RR, let me offer my condolences to you. For quite some time, the feeling kept haunting me that the time for QH’s departure was imminent. Finally, the sad day came and she left us for good.
