Terhi Lakeer; a Beautiful Urdu Short Story by Manto

Saadat Hassan Manto (Urdu: ‏‏سعادت حسن منٹو) (May 11, 1912 – January 18, 1955) was a short story writer of Kashmiri heritage. He is best known for his short stories , 'Bu' (Odour), 'Khol Do' (Open It), 'Thanda Gosht' (Cold Meat), and his magnum opus, Toba Tek Singh'.

Combining psychoanalysis with human behaviour, he was arguably one of the best short story tellers of the 20th century, and one of the most controversial as well. When it comes to chronicling the collective madness that prevailed, during and after the Partition of India in 1947, no other writer comes close to the oeuvre of Saadat Hassan Manto.

I am going to present here Terhi Lakeer, a Beautiful Urdu Short Story (Afsana) by Sa'adat Hassan Manto. I am sure you will like it.

Here You Go!!

  1. Hmm it shows that the chap could not live the usual life. His restless soul compelled him to take weird steps out of excitement and to kill the boredom. so much, that he found out a the way to add excitement to his usual marital life. i guess its quite deep. it does happen all the time that after a couple of months our marital life starts turning dull which also leads to fight between the couple over petty issues but by keeping adventure we can keep the flame alive :) Oh yes!
