Hi Anuradha, I've just found your nice blog and I am very happy about my discovery! I am from Italy and I am an avid reader of Indian books. I write myself a blog about Indian books (in Italian)! I loved Twilight in Delhi by Ahmed Ali. I think the atmosphere (and the heat!) you can breath in the book is really unique. Ali recalls a world that is no more, and make it real, vivid and poetic.
Hi Anuradha, I would like to appreciate your writing style. I have read the book and at that time I found the book very interesting. Your interpretation and the ideas you have projected are very vivid. Thanks.
I am writing a term paper on 'Twilight in Delhi' and while surfing the net for some stuff on Ahmed Ali, I happened to come across your blog. I agree with you, the novel celebrates India and its rich cultural heritage. What deeply affected me though, was the frankness and simplicity with which complex relations and emotions are depicted and dealt with by the author. The British empire forever lingers in the backdrop of the novel but it never threatens or displaces the focus from Mir Nihal and his family.
Its a really good novel. I am glad you took out time to write something on it and thus encouraged many others to read it. :)
Of course, its a great novel. I taught Twilight in Delhi for four years and recently we had Ahmed Ali's son and daughter here at Jamia Millia Islamia, where we organized the Fourth Annual Ahmed Ali Memorial Lecture.

William Dalrymple author of City of Djinns mentions this book and his meeting with Ahmed Ali in Karachi. He found him to be a very bitter man. Ahmed Ali recounted how once on his way to some eastern country his plane due to technical fault had to land in Delhi. He refused to disembark in Delhi. His feelings were that since the Delhi he knew does not exist, there is no point in returning. Also, he tells that he was not fond of the Punjabis :) and that they did not understand his urdu at Delhi airport or his poetic references to bygone days. Ahmed Ali equally hated Hindu and Muslim politicians for dividing India and thus his Delhi. Anyhow, its City of Djinns is a great book.
