Bøker av Khalid Jawed

My father has probably untied me from the electric pole. now I am lying in a narrow and dark cell like a sick and physically depleted animal, My tongue lolling out. There lie a few loaves of Chapattis and a small bowl of pulses or perhaps curry in a corner. But I am not able to bite My morsel.ages have passed since I entered this state. Sometimes, a bright day dawns with the sun scowling for ages, and sometimes everything remains plunged into darkness alone to itself, The heart hangs from a washing line like a wrung out towel, waving and fluttering in the wind.the building sprawling across miles is fenced by the black and sinister-looking high walls overgrown with weeds. during the nights their roar gets distinctly louder, stirring the creepy and eerie feelings. The tall eucalyptus trees standing in rows peer ominously at the desolate area, and throughout the day the monkeys go on jumping onto the walls from trees and then up on the trees. The stray cats climb the dreary walls to let out whimpers.the forlorn building is surrounded by long corridors inhabited by the ghosts and witches resembling human beings. Sometimes, they let out piercing shrieks in unison.and sometimes they roar with laughter rending the air.quite frequently, the eerie and Lonely lanes echo with the sound of some unseen heavy footsteps.the place is also peopled by a few human beings deployed as guards for the security of the ghosts and the witches jarring sound of a burning kerosene stove deepens the weirdness of the silence. In the still of the night, some hyenas are heard Roaring with laughter somewhere in the distance. And perched on a hidden branch is an owl shooting ominously while adding uncanny mysteriousness to the looming silence. The Lonely road reverberates with such a terrifying roar of trucks that other sounds die down.(from the book of death).

Khalid Jawed has tried to look at play and entertainment from his point of view in this story and highlights the entertainment side of both cinema hall and bazaar-the story sometimes goes straight and sometimes starts like a flashback. The narrator of this story is "I" who has now become a ghost. He brings to us the memories of his past. When 'I' was fifteen years old, he met a girl named Parveen. She had said that she would study at the same level as him but the rotation days did not allow them to meet. The last time he saw the poor girl, she was suffering from asthma, which she had inherited from her mother, who was always sitting on the doorstep of her dilapidated house, coughing and sputtering. When he returned to the city ten years later, he found Parveen coughing on someone's doorstep.Personifying the cough and walking with it on the soles of the shoes and then finally having the character 'I' rub the cough vigorously on the burning road of Koltar - what? How many questions arise in the mind.Any quality in writing or speech does not arise automatically, it must have some basis. It is this basis that takes the creative instinct to the heights. Let us see how the storyteller reacts to market and cinema entertainment and the limitations of both. Today we see that old buildings or cinemas are being demolished and big malls are being built there. The market is born out of the subversion of spectacle and play, but the distinction presented here by Khalid Jawed is insightful.

In the main character of the novel, insomnia, horror, madness, sexuality, epilepsy, syphilis and leprosy and madness are all gathered. His mother is belonging to singing community, a lustful father from a landed family, who is forced to live away from home after marriage and believes that his son is the result of his wife's illicit affair with a runaway soldier.The main character is first subjected to public violence when he is seen making sexual gestures to a slightly older girl, from his rooftop. Since childhood, father and son are bound by the chain of hatred, the son wants to kill the father. In these situations, after a quarrel, the mother disappears, the father's attitude towards the son changes, but not much. When diseases and misbehavior increased, marriage was the solution after drugs and gangsters, when nothing changed, they were sent to an insane asylum where they were treated with electric shocks. It is only after this that the prenatal scene is revealed to him, which is when he was eight months old in his mother's womb and was forced to have sexual pleasure by his father.The main character mentions suicide a lot but it is not suicide from beginning to end, he starts talking about killing his father from his childhood and even kills him once but in thought. He sees his mother for the last time at the soldiers' cemetery. But despite this, his attitude does not change from his father.
