Behind The Book
About the Author
Rameesha Tahseen Siddiqui is a published author—finally, after years of contemplation and eternal support of friends and family. She is a true-blood Karachiite, with an immense love for the city and its people, a nostalgic by heart, and an old-soul. She loves and loves, and thinks of the world as a good place—what an utter fool!
When she is not reading or writing, she is either sipping cold coffee that is too bitter for an average person, or busy curating gift boxes, flowers, and charcuterie boards. A businesswoman, reader, and now a published author—what should she do next?
Excerpts
Read a little of the book.
For the nostalgics who still believe in soft, patient, and selfless love, and are struggling to find it in this fast-paced, confusing world. Hold on darling, your old-school romantic is right around the corner.
Life is supposed to surprise us the way it does. Give us what we least expect, and never hand in what we desire the most. It sounds like a painful thing. Yet, the most beautiful gift. Running on the same errand without ups and downs isn’t a life. Life is when you’re called and let go, pushed and pulled, thrown and picked up, broken down, and put back together. It’s when black and white collide and blend into the most gorgeous colours.
What is a defining moment that decides what the rest of our lives will turn out to be like? Is there even a defining moment?
On my fourteenth birthday, Raza had told me they were moving to America indefinitely. It wasn’t until they had left that I realised my defining moment for the rest of my life.
