“Please tell him that his labour of love will light up many of the dark nights and heavy hearts that the enchaining of our Firdaus has resulted in. What was a alley of joy had become a vale of tears. But its beauty, both of its landscape and of its people, lives on in these lovely writings. Bless him for preserving them for those of us who have no access to them. Bless him.” – Nilima Singh on #ishtihaar Wall Calendar 2022 (A long winter in paradise) @ishtihaardesign
