“Tashkent Sy Istanbul” a Travelogue

Reading through the pages and finding the cherished desires fulfilled in the most refine ways only when we find inspiration. Same happened to Altaf Ahmad Amir when he met Qasim Ali Shah and become the admirer of his works and lecturers. A six minutes video lecture inspired Altaf to meet his inspiration in Badal DO campaign and spend six days in Uzbekistan and Turkey.

Travel always transforms us in some way. His journey to Uzbekistan and Turkey transformed him from being a teacher to a writer elucidating his knowledge with practical references. Finding the inspiration to fly with him and learn through the historical sites while learning the life lessons from a mentor inspired him to write an amalgamation of past and present explaining the history while exploring the present.

Being a student of history, he has enormously quoted the reference of kings, wars, empires and spiritual pillars. Before every place, he visits he narrates its history easing the reader to know the essence and significance.

They say, “everything we do and think of came to us for a reason. How this gravity of thought makes us travel to meet the inspirations. Blessed are courageous enough to think and make it a reality.” Qasim Ali Shah, a man of words, who whatever intends fulfil it in the most accurate way. By January 2018, he intended to take a flock of 100 People to Uzbekistan resulting in 121 people lucky enough to fly with him and in Uzbekistan he announces another tour to turkey, fulfilling it in the mid of the same year.

Altaf found this a clarion call to explore the unexplored ways in the presence of a torchbearer. The writer’s journey sweeps through the roads, conversations, weather, nights, morning, breakfasts, low-currency benefits, shopping, cycling at independence square, Ameer Timur fort, blessed visit to imam’s and Rumi’s mausoleum, sitting on sites once resided by the gems of history seems opening new vistas for the writer who was feeling the places and happening penning minute details of every place and person he is coming across and narrating their success stories with a sheer mode of expression adding a flavour of poetical references when needed giving his trip a melodious essence.

It will not be an exaggeration to say every site he was treading towards multiplying his journey to social, spiritual, and modern arenas making this book a written tour guide for those who want to visit these countries. No doubt, in multiplying our inspirations we can find our real essence.
