Dear Ali Hashmi,
I just finished
reading your article about Faiz's involvement
with Progressive Writer’s Association the second time. I would like to
congratulate you for translating Professor LUdmilla
Vasielva's article in English. It is such a
wonderful translation that it does not sound like a translation. Your
command on English language is impressive. I remember a funny comment about
translations. Some one said
Translation is like a
woman.
If she is beautiful,
she is not faithful
And if she is faithful
she is not beautiful
Your translation seems
like an exception...beautiful as well as faithful.
There are so many
themes in that article that can be discussed further if you think that
would be a good idea.
I am curious about
your impressions of my book Social Change///Evolution or Revolution (Samajai Tabdeeli)
affectionately,
sohail
(most friends call me sohail, some call me khalid,
you can choose what you like more...smiles
