Synopsis

I have known Riaz his whole life. He is from a large family and I have seen him grow up, seen his interactions with his siblings, and dealing with his family issues. Like many families, Riaz also faced his share of family politics, favoritism and schemes amongst the brothers and sisters. At first he dismissed the issues thinking to put the family first, but later when he found that they had also ignored him when making many decisions and also remained aloof during many special events, he decided to raise his voice, demanding his basic family rights, but was disappointed. He approached one of his senior siblings who he thought would listen to him with an unbiased opinion. Although his senior siblings tried to convince the others to be affectionate with each other and build up harmony, it fell on deaf ears. This attitude amongst the siblings was also shifting trust amongst the cousins. In this book I dig into some of Ritz's personal affairs to alert the second generation and to expose all those who were involved in their unfair dealings with each other. With this, the second generation can judge for themselves, for they are more talented and literate then their parents and I have full confidence they will adopt the right path.

About the Author

I do not claim to be a professional author. The Book of Desperate is a collection of events that occurred in Riaz's life, which I wrote for future generation. The art of writing developed naturally since my job required me to be away from home. In those time when I traveled far and wide, I recorded my journey in letters to my beloved wife so that she might feel herself walking next to me in life even while being so far away. - Raza Hashmi
