Sanober Khan Hello there,

Best Regards,

Sanober Khan Hello David, thank you so much. I am pleased to know that you want to gift my book to your wife. If amazon isn't the best choice, I suggest buying it directly from the publisher's website.

There is no other supplier. If you're still having trouble, maybe you could go for the e-book? I know it's not the same as having a hard copy... but why not if there is no other way! :) and the fastest!

I feel the hidden energies ...dear Poet. A pleasure to find myself lost in between poetry and silence with you. Also thanks to your post that inspires me to learn Espanol!
Sanober Khan I absolutely love that post! Is that poem "Rainbows of the Night" written by you? I adore it! Nothing beyond it that can be said about poetry. Emily Dickinson is one of my favorite poets, it is an honor for me. Thank you so much!
Sanober Khan That's great. I've never been on allpoetry, the one i found best was Starlitecafe.org. As to get more people to read your work, read and comment on other's poems as much as you can. especially the ones that have none. if they still don't comment back, request them to do so. Post your poems at a time when maximum people are online. Look up bloggers who write , share, or simply love poetry. All the best!! :)
Sanober Khan Hi Nisha,

Thank you for reaching out, I'm glad you are enjoying my book. I've never been to Bahrain so that lovely girl couldn't have been me. I hope you do get in touch with her someday. You can always expect a reply from me. Thank you for the compliments. Take care and my best wishes to you!
Sanober Khan Hello Seymour,

Thank you for your question. I don't know if it pleases me or embarasses me. I will still take it as a compliment :). Sanober is the name of a tree, any cone-bearing, evergreen tree. My mom had always loved this name, and decided that if she would have a girl, she would call her Sanober!
Sanober Khan Hi Farah, you can see all the recent updates here on Goodreads itself. I usually share my latest on my goodreads blog or in the quotes section...though it's been a while now. Quite a while! Please do check it sometime later. Thank you so much! :)
Sanober Khan Hello Dan,

Thank you for your kind words. I am glad you liked that piece so much to include it in your manual. I would be honoured! The version you've read is the correct one. You can attribute the poem to my name alone, as it is not a part of any of my books. Just something I shared on an impulse! :)

All the best my friend,
Sanober.
Sanober Khan Hello Bilal,

Thank you for the lovely compliments. I am glad you enjoy my work. I am inspired by a lot of things around me, I love beauty & sensitivity...in nature, art, people, their stories, feelings...I guess I just naturally feel everything so deeply, so I write the same way. As much as I would love to, I don't write in Urdu. Maybe I will attempt one someday.

Thank you, hope the books arrive soon! :)

Sanober Khan Hello Jesi,

Thank you so much for the kind words! I am so glad to know that my words inspire you. That's the best compliment ever.

I have so many favorite musicians, and from so many different genres! My all time favorites have got to be Michael Jackson and Justin Furstenfeld from Blue October. :)
Sanober Khan Hello Tanmayee,

I've never actually thought of it. But for the next one, I would love to have your work featured!

Best Regards,
Sanober Khan

Sanober Khan Hello Suzana,

I am so very delighted to know that! Ofcourse you can have it stitched, and I would love to see the finished work too, which I'm sure will be very beautiful! Thank you so much!

Have a nice day,
Sanober Khan
Sanober Khan Hello Muzafar,

Thank you for your beautiful compliments and question! I'm so glad you enjoy my poetry, in fact, you're the first one to praise the 'wit' in my writing, because honestly, I never even think of it. To answer your question, I would have loved to say that poetry comes with practice and intellect. That the craft can come, even if the art is not there. But in my personal experience, that has never happened, unfortunately. I always need to be divinely inspired to be able to write.This may not be true for other writers/poets. Skill and intellect also count for something! But that would mean the writer would have to work extra hard as compared to the one who has a natural flair for it. But I think most importantly, to be a writer you have to feel everything deeply. :)

I hope my answer does not discourage you from practicing writing. Good readers make good writers. :)

All the best, and thank you again!
Sanober Khan Yes ofcourse! I would be delighted. I love coming across blogs that share my poems and quotes. :)
