ناتمام قصے از نرمین سرھیو - Daastan

ہر کتاب کا ایک خانہ ادھورا ہوتا ہے اور اس ادھورے کونے کو قاری اپنے تصور کے رنگوں سے بھر دیتا ہے۔ بہت سی باتیں ان کہی رہ جاتی ہیں مگر سننے والا ان ان کہے الفاظ کا بھی مفہوم اخذ کرلیتا ہے اور اسی طرح بہت سی کہانیاں نامکمل ہوتی ہیں مگر دیکھنے والے کی نگاہ اسے مکمل کر دیتی ہے۔یہ کتاب ناتمام قصوں اور کہانیاں کا گھر ہے اور انھیں مکمل کرنے کا اختیار قاری کا تصور محفوظ رکھتا ہے۔
