: Stepping on the Rainbow

I had heard a lot of praise for this book,supposedly an Urdu travel classic, Published in thes,it won the Adam Ji literaey prize,

It took

me years to find it,and a total of twenty minutes to skim through it,

The writing style is far from elegant,and the descriptions of the various places not particularly memorable, Includes chapters on Hawaii,London,New York,Mexico City,San Francisco and Hong Kong,

Perhaps what made it famous could be that it is one of the earliest travelogues in Urdu,when air travel was still a novelty, The destination cities could certainly have provided much more interesting material,than the author's lacklustre commentary,

It reads more like the diary of a wideeyed housewife,than a travel classic, خاتون ہماری ہم مزاج لگتی ہیں ہمیں تو ایسا لگا جیسے ہم نے ہی لکھا ہو یہ سفرنامہ اولین جدید اردو سفرناموں میں سے ایک آدم جی انعام یافتہ کتاب.
