Human Bondage
FARHAT PARVEEN : FICTIONS OF HUMAN BONDAGE
Farhat Parveen is a Pakistani expatriate Urdu fiction writer in Saudi Arabia who has written lot of short stories which has won appreciation from big literary critics and contemporary writers of South Asian Countries. Three collections of her short stories “The Frozen” “From the window of Restaurant” and “The rocks of glass” has come face to face to the contemporary trends in modern fiction.
Her fictions are the product of a beautiful, high and pathetic scenario of her creativity. Her creativity takes off with the help of her creative unrest, motivated by her aesthetic tastes and visions. Understanding life, keeping it’s effects on her ownself, condensing the pain of the mankind in her own pathetic creative canvas, asking for encouragement from life itself and criticizing the same, are the identity of Farhat Parveen which is creating a new era in the history of postmodern Urdu fiction in Middle East and South Asian region. Closeness to the life, understanding it through creativeness, the disorder of human and social values, the new features of the society, human psychology, and the post modern scenario of societies are the axis of Farhat Parveen’s creativity. In her fictions, when she looks up on the social and human bondage, she brings every thing in to our knowledge which is useful in creating a healthy society.
Farhat Parveen likes to safeguard the interests of human and social behaviors. Sometimes, she concentrates upon in the dynamics of behavior so exclusively that all human values look confined in the instinct of a single human being. While studying society she goes deeper into her ‘characters’ and while studying her ‘characters’ she goes deeper into the dialectics of society. The subjects of her fiction appears as a new infra-structure of the new human and social values. Travelling from individual to individual, individual to society and from society to individuals she emerges as a captain of social and human values. The main subject of her fiction is the HUMAN BEING. She has used her fictions as modern tools for psychotherapy. Through supportive psychotherapy she creates aspirations, trust and faith up on life.
Farhat Parveen is a writer of sadness. In her fiction, sadness, it’s different shades, sadness emerging from love and sadness at the end of pleasures has fogged up her fictions. The picture of this sadness is the only reference of her creative highness. When Farhat Parveen stares up on life she experiences little pleasure and bigger sorrow all through the life. Perhaps this is the real face of this life as some one has said : ‘The life is a long sentence of pain punctuated with happiness’. This is the most accurate discovery of life. This pathetic code of life has emerged as a usual course in all of her fictions. Like Rajendra Sing Bedi [A stalwart from South Asian Fiction(Urdu)] tragedy is her specialty. The difference in the fictions of Rajendara Singh Bedi is that it is buildup with sex with tragedies, but in the fiction of Farhat Parveen, lack of love, poverty and its belongings, the pain of human bondage have become her identity. ‘The frozen’ ‘Junk Yard’ ‘Performer’ ‘Free prisoner’ and ‘Tales’ are her master pieces. I regard these fictions meet the standard of world literature.
In the fiction ‘The frozen’ we sense a sadness which comes out from confession, repeating itself as many times as it can. We also sense a kind of ‘self evaluation’ and process of ‘returning towards ourselves’. From the beginning to its end the canvas of this story get deepen in the ocean of intuition and high morality.
‘Junk Yard’ and “Performer’ are the best fictions of their kind. These stories are valuable editions in the history of post-modern South Asian Literature. ‘Junk Yard’ is a tragedy of the materialistic western social orders as well as a healthy criticism of the society. It is a heart beating story. ‘Performer’ is an amazing story. In accordance with it’s subject and the highness of it’s style this story can be placed at the highest level of world literature. In this story the happenings, situations and the characters came together with truth in their natural style. The story belongs to a poor woman who is suffering form unusual troubles. Her troubles were successfully brought to notice by the story writer.
Apart from this her fiction ‘from the window of the restaurant’ is a living scenario of our life. ‘Amber’ turns out as a sign of deep beloving. The ‘Free prisoner’ is a narrative-symbolic fiction which stands for the eternal human dissatisfaction of living-hood, supposed to be the fate of all human being, specially to the women. The fiction ‘Conflict’ speaks about a prolonged disguised dissatisfaction of a woman, who was misunderstood by all, even by her siblings. Her mystery remains alive even after her death. ‘Curved brick’ refers to the freedom in selection of life partners. Farhat Parveen advocates the right to choose a life partner by own choice. The fiction ‘Death of love’ tells us the fact that love some times dies without cause.
The creative highness of Farhat Parveen is new of it’ own. She acts like a linking person between the art and nature. She has tried to link the tragedies of our life with nature. The fictions of Farhat Parveen give chance to its readers to rearrange themselves time to time. We can say them applied fictions, as every character of her story draws readers towards their own sentiments. Through this approach the readers experience some sorts of aesthetical power, courage, guts, and contentment in their own. With this aesthetical power the life becomes capable of defending itselves.
In Farhat Parveen’s fictions, mortals and immortal, sorrow and joy, love and hate all move adjoining eacher other. She brings some sort of truth from her experession which explores some new dimensions form the mystry of life. In her fiction, death is a common phenomena. When she tells about her character she includes death as an end to all his aspirations. As a result , in all of her fictions, readers are always alert to listen the death news of some of her characters. The death news symbolizes all her fictions to be the real pictures of life. With out death nothing can be understood or be taken seriously as it is the destroyer of pleasures. The death is the other side of the life. So this approach appears as a significant quality of Farhat Parveen’s fictions. The philosophy of death appears as a teacher of ethics in her works. Death is the teacher which forces life to bow down before the unseen power.
Analyzing the fiction works of Farhat Parveen I am of the openion that she is a true writer who has her own approach in fiction writing. She has started writing fiction after 90s and soon she has become a known figure in the history of South Asian fictions[urdu]. She has a post-modern approach in all her writings, she gives a real touch of truthfullness to her fictions. Her fictions are not meant to see the life on its surface but to plunge into its depth and draw some new dimensions in undrstanding the human universe. Moreover, she has a natural aptitude of writing. She has used narratives style of telling stories and has drawn pictures form the surroundings which are hidden from our eyes. She has escaped from vagueness and ambiguity in her writings. Her fictions are as clear as the picture of life itself. By her continuing creative efforts in writings fictions, she has become an established fiction writer of her age. We are expecting some more masterpieces from her which may draw attention of the big writers and critics in the world and can place her at the higher rank in the history of South Asian literature[urdu]. ************
