THE COLOUR OF MY HEART: on reading Faiz
Main Article Content
Abstract
This is a reflective piece narrating a journey from the heart to the lyrics of Faiz. The author looks back autobiographically at himself as a young boy travelling from Karachi to London with an interlude in Oooty. He comes of age in metropolitan London and finds himself returning to his linguistic roots. He ends on a nostalgic note recounting an old encounter between himself and the writer in London mirroring the memory of a cosmopolitan poetic journey intersecting with different cultures.
