What we are up to!

It is exciting to see people with talent and the will to write joining hands to create beautiful art and literature.

That being said, I announced last year that Beyond Sanity Publishing is accepting submissions for a paperback anthology of the best work submitted. Last date to submit was May 31st. So right now I am going through hundreds of different poems and stories to see what comes where. I will announce the final list in July!

So that leaves us with little over a week. way too much to do, so little time. Beyond Sanity Publishing is currently working on the following projects:

• The Youth Of Pakistan by Hafiza Noor.ul.Ain
• Psychaotic by Irum Zahra (2nd Edition)
• The Tales of Crucified Blunt by Areesh Fatmee
• Five Wishes and the prophecy of the prince by Faran Kiani
• Out of the labyrinth by Zoha Hidayat and Saja Ali
• Reneging Quiescence by Dr. Samiha Zubair
• Eliminating Riba- A Way Forward by Summan Waseem

Many other projects are in pipeline as well, including my personal favorite, Humans of ICG. I studied in Islamabad College for girls for 12 years and it was a long long time. I learnt so much and I went through so many emotional changes during that time. ICG was and is a place where we made friends, had endless gossip sessions, motivational pep talks sessions, Oh and the students week was the best of all. Funfairs, concerts, book fairs. What was not there?

Sadly, not me anymore. Everyone graduated and then their sisters are there and their cousins and the cycle goes on. The story goes on. So I decided to make a Facebook platform where everyone who has attended ICG can submit a story of their time in ICG and other students can read and share and relate to the same things.

We have also started a giveaway, Enter Here! winner will get a free BOOK from us and an Eid gift! How cool is that. 

Then, we are currently taking submissions for book reviews ans marketing. If you're already a published writer, let us help you in promoting your work to our audience.

Highlight of this week is Noor.ul.ain's National Television Interview, that you can watch Here.  We are so proud of her. To order her book, please drop an email at beyondsanitybooks@gmail.com

SUMMERS! Send us your summer book collection. we want to know what you'e reading.

Have fun!

Keeping Pukhtoon Tradition Alive- Nandara Opens in Islamabad!

Fireworks- Mouth watering Food- Music

What are we talking about? Heaven? No, The Launch of Nandara Cuisine !

In the eccentric sector of E-11, we see marquees and wedding music and what not. But what if you are tired of all that and just want to sit in a peaceful restaurant with good traditional food that makes you feel as if you are in a different place.

'Nandara' is a Pushto word which means 'Vision', The owner, Mr. Inam Shah Kakakhel did a great job with the interior of the place as it was presenting a perfect 'Nandara' of both culture and Innovation.

That is what I felt on 13th of May, YES. Friday the 13th! Turns out, it can be pretty exciting when 'Khumariyaan' is playing at a new place which serves one of the best cuisine in Islamabad.

Red carpet event had the best event management by 360 Affairs, which is based in Islamabad. It brought a great deal of amazing people from all fields of life. Event was covered by Roz and DunyaTV. 

See the coverage here

The launch of Launch Of Nandara Cuisine was a treat for eyes, ears and taste buds. The 4.8 rated restaurant on Facebook had 3 hours of the best music with the best food. Here is a glimpse of what I saw!

If I could chose a place to sit and forget the world, It'll be Nandara. You can see the menu and further details Here.

Have a great weekend everyone!
