I'll meet you there by Aateqa Hashmi - Daastan

I'll meet you there is a poetic book that leaves its readers stunned, to say the least. It was published fairly recently and beautifies the world around us. The book's theme caters to multiple topics and since it is set in modern times and written as poetry, it leaves a lot to be imagined by the readers. The readers are creatively transported into an entirely different world that is beyond the human imagination.
