"AAPA" an Outstanding Short Story by Mumtaz Mufti

Mumtaz Mufti (Sitar-e-Imtiaz) (Urdu: ممتاز مفتی) (September 11, 1905 – October 27, 1995), was a distinguished writer from Pakistan.

He started writing Urdu short stories while working as a school teacher before partition. In the beginning of his literary career, he was considered a non-conformist writer having liberal views, who appeared influenced by Freud. His transformation from Liberalism to Sufism was due to his inspiration from Qudrat Ullah Shahab. All the same, he did manage to retain his individual accent and wrote on subjects which were frowned upon by the conservative elements in society.

This time I am going to post here "AAPA"; an outstanding and beautiful short story by Mumtaz Mufti. I hope you will like it. Here you go!!
