About the Book Story of Word is a translation of the Sahitya Akademi Award-winning Sindhi collection poems Katha. The does not conform to traditional that most of us are accustomed to read. If book is in a line, is from mystery. To put it in simpler words, is surely grappling with muddle for uninitiated reader but it is surely a mystery for the ones. It is not about commonplace, joys and life, rather it traces the evolution of thought, language and spiritual traditions with artistic touches. It is concerned with complex mystery of human life that derives sustenance from spiritual, philosophical, intellectual, cultural and aesthetic traditions. Many of the poems come before us as a voice of detached intellectual and spiritual observer.
