Highway: A Literary Translation of Qamar Jamali's Short Stories

Highway is the translation of Qamar Jamalis short stories into English. Qamar Jamali is a well-known Urdu fictionist of Hyderabad Telangana. she is a live writer and continues to write. I personally met the writer and liked the thought behind her stories. The charecters of her stories aptly display the burning problems of the society which relates to the present scenario. They are not fictitious they appear very much real and we find them in our day to day life. This appealed to me a lot. I translated her stories with the intention of making her known to the non-Urdu readers. Highway comprises ten stories.There is a variety of theme in her stories. Womans emancipation is one of her themes. According to her a woman occupies not only a place in domestic field but also diverse positions in society.No doubt she speaks about the anguish of a woman she doesnt do any oration instead she opens many doors for the characters to act and the readers to think. Her stories are her experiences and observations.The technique of dialogue explains the incidents in the stories.Lifeline id one such very impressive story.
