Lihaaf
“In winter when I put a quilt over myself its shadows on the wall seem to sway like an elephant. That sets my mind racing into the labyrinth of times past. Memories come crowding in.
Sorry. I’m not going to regale you with any romantic tale about my own quilt. It’s hardly a subject for romance.”
-- Excerpt from Lihaaf (The Quilt) by Ismat Chughtai
