Description: Zerafa by Tooba Rasheed Parenting is one heck of a task whose heady highs and mortifying lows have a profound influence on the lives of children. Parenting mistakes however minor need to be realized and rectified before they leave permanent scars. Zerafa, the first born to Omar and Zareefa is a special child whose specialty keeps her from normal schooling. Zerafa manifests her ability not through the use of words but colors, avant-garde. The coming of Zunaira, their second child, alleviates the suffering of the parents for she conforms to the normal in every possible way. She is schooled but soon Zerafas influence begins to tell. In order to save their normal child, the parents take a hard decision to separate the two; one of them is sent to a boarding school. While Zerafas talent is unleashed with time, Zunaira unable to come to terms with the separation withdraws into a shell. She rebels against her studies only to be mistaken by her mother as being pampered. The mother-daughter relationship soon turns sour. The story delves deep into a childs psyche to unveil parenting mistakes. Read on to know how the parents realize their mistakes and whether the scars get permanently sketched onto the psyche of the children. Or is there any mystery revolving through the plot that sets the fairy tale in motion and settles it on that score? FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Excerpt from Book On a wintry dark night a woman of great luck and fortune gave birth to a girl who had an unusual charm that sat upon her face all around and endorsingly so at the corners of her mouth. Her mother was bewitched at the first glimpse of her child who was supposed to fill a space in the imaginary future her mother had crafted for her past several months. When she held the wheatish faced baby in her arms, a heaviness climbed up her shoulders through her veins. She felt a warmth of emotions of a mother towards her child when she experiences motherhood for the first time. The baby in her arms was a mark of the fact that she was capable of shaping, sustaining and simulating a life. The charm of the baby was characteristically unusual that caught her in such a manner that she exclaimed "Zerafa!" The name didnt only literally mean charm but had a proportionate impact on the persona of the baby. Thereupon Zerafa not only started showing the charm she inherited but with age a new prismatic spirit of her name showed forth. Zerafa grew like magic, a spell with an unbound spirit of a free bird, the depth of an old wise soothsayer, the vision of a sea voyager to whom sea is the home and land a sojourn. Her company included no boy... no girls either. She played with butterflies the run and chase, with glow worms the hide and seek and with bats the blind mans bluff. Much before gaining speech she earned immense first-hand knowledge through the creatures of Allah. Her world gave more space to creatures who had a language that only they could speak and she could understand. This mutual understanding helped her deal with situations when she was part of the world of human beings like her but the beings who did not share the best part of her experience- of mutuality and of love she learned from the lower beings. Her small hands captured the insects in the grass that tried to mount each blade and unmount it with great efforts, offering them a smooth plane to enjoy but slip. Such is the law of physics and the principles of philosophy parallel it. The smoother the plane of life looks, the harder it gets to go against its frictions!
