I had my alarm set so I could be notified the moment this limited series released and I wasn’t disappointed.
Based on an iconic novel by Vikram Seth. Iconic because it is one of the longest novels published in a single edition…. A Suitable Boy is the story of 19 year old University Student Lata whose mother is looking to marry her off in the socio political backdrop of post partition India of 1952.
Originally a 6 part BBC Miniseries it is now available for viewing on Netflix also.
With superb casting, outstanding locations and a riveting story line with subplots of 4 families whose lives are entangled this is a serial worthy of being binge watched
Tvinkal is an idea that is seeded in the mind of our Muse and CEO Jahanara because of a dearth of good reading material pertaining to Pakistanis. An avid reader herself, she felt that most of the Pakistani Blogs were all about either sensationalism or were so deeply monetized that all they offered were advertisements or endorsements of different brands.
There isn’t a single Pakistani Lifestyle Blog that talks about the real life interests of Pakistanis especially the women. Be it Fashion, Trends, Street Style, Cooking, Shopping, Upcoming Events, Movie Reviews or a take on the International Scene, we just never get to read a Pakistanis Perspective.
And that is how Tvinkal came about!
