Zindagi Gulzar Hai

Zindagi Gulzar Hai — "life is a rose garden" — follows Kashaf and Zaroon, college classmates from opposite ends of Pakistani society.

Kashaf is ordinary-looking, from a middle-class family, carrying responsibilities and a self-esteem worn down by money worries. Zaroon has had everything, including confidence. He sets out to humiliate her; she overhears him and confronts him, and they lose touch after graduation — until chance puts them in the same room again. Umera Ahmed's most loved novel, first serialised in Khawateen Digest.
