Woman turns every house into a home, Yet society never lets her call it her own home.

ਔਰਤ ਹਰ ਘਰ ਨੂੰ ਆਪਣਾ 'ਘਰ' ਬਣਾ ਦਿੰਦੀ ਹੈ, ਫਿਰ ਵੀ ਸਮਾਜ ਉਸਨੂੰ ਕਦੇ ਵੀ ਇਸਨੂੰ ਆਪਣਾ ਘਰ ਕਹਿਣ ਨਹੀਂ ਦਿੰਦਾ।

How much can a family sacrifice for one dream—and what happens when that dream comes at a heartbreaking cost?

This Poignant Punjabi short story follows **Roop**, a young man from Punjab whose parents sell their precious farmland to fulfil their dream of sending their son to America.

Roop’s journey takes him through the perilous **donkey route”** and eventually to New York, where he struggles for years to secure a Green Card and build a life far from home. But beneath the hope of a better future lies a painful reality—loneliness, guilt, separation, and the growing emotional distance from his aging parents.

Roop’s story reflects the often-unspoken struggles and sacrifices of many young Punjabis living abroad, caught between the dreams they left home to pursue and the family they left behind. But after all the sacrifices his parents made for him, will Roop ever find the courage to face his father? And when the hidden truths finally come to light, will there still be a way to heal the wounds of years lost?

“Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire.”

— Thomas Keneally, Schindler’s List.

Based on a true incident from the 1984 Sikh genocide, this powerful story by Kartar Singh Duggal is a moving account of courage, humanity, and compassion in the face of unimaginable violence.

At the heart of the story are Bakshi Chunni Lal and his wife, Shanta Devi, a Hindu couple who risked their own lives to protect and save a Sikh family living in their neighbourhood. As violence and fear spread, many people stood by as helpless spectators, while some tragically became participants in the violence against their Sikh neighbours. Yet, amidst the darkness, there were also individuals who chose humanity over hatred.

This story is not only about the horrors of 1984. It is also about the people who chose to stand on the side of humanity when it mattered most. Listen to this poignant story by Kartar Singh Duggal and remember the power of one human being choosing to save another.

ਗ਼ੈਰ ਜਜ਼ਬਾਤੀ ਡਾਇਰੀ - ਬਲਰਾਜ ਸਾਹਨੀ

Gair Jazbati Diary (Non-Emotional Diary) by Balraj SahniPunjabi Short Story Audiobook | Punjabi Literature Narration | Punjabi Audio Stories Gair Jazbati Diary (Non-Emotional Diary) is one of the most remarkable literary works by Balraj Sahni, celebrated not only as one of India's finest actors but also as a thoughtful writer and social commentator. In this deeply personal diary, readers encounter Sahni beyond his cinematic persona—as an observant, intellectually curious individual who reflects on life, society, and human nature with honesty and remarkable clarity.

As its title suggests, Gair Jazbati Diary is free from excessive sentiment or emotional exaggeration. Instead, it presents a calm, introspective record of Sahni's experiences, beliefs, and observations. His writing is guided by reason, lived experience, and quiet contemplation, resulting in a narrative that is sincere, balanced, and intellectually engaging.

A strong sense of social realism runs throughout the diary. Much like his memorable performances in films such as Do Bigha Zamin and Garam Hawa, Sahni turns his attention to the struggles, hopes, and everyday lives of ordinary people. His socialist, Marxist, and secular worldview shapes many of his reflections, yet he expresses these ideas with humility and restraint. Rather than attempting to persuade, he invites readers to observe, question, and think alongside him.

The diary also offers fascinating glimpses into the Indian film industry and Sahni's association with the Indian People's Theatre Association (IPTA), a movement that sought to use art as an instrument of social awareness and change. His reflections reveal an artist who believed that literature and cinema should not merely entertain but also inspire dialogue, compassion, and social responsibility.

One of the book's greatest strengths is its simple, lucid, and accessible language. Even while addressing profound subjects such as the Partition of India, the challenges of post-independence society, and moments of personal grief, Sahni writes with remarkable clarity and restraint. By avoiding melodrama, he allows the emotional depth of his experiences to emerge naturally, making Gair Jazbati Diary a timeless work that continues to resonate with readers across generations.

FOMO, or Fear Of Missing Out, is the anxiety we experience when we feel there’s something exciting happening elsewhere... and we’re not a part of it. It’s been around for a while but these days, it’s usually triggered by social media.

Sukirat's story explores the rapid rise of social media and its growing influence on our minds and behavior.

Set against the literary landscape of Punjab, "FOMO" examines how social media addiction and the fear of missing out are quietly shaping our thoughts, relationships, and emotional health. The story serves as a timely reminder that we may be drifting towards a psychological condition without recognizing its impact, urging readers to become more aware of the hidden effects of our increasingly digital lives. It highlights how excessive engagement with social media is gradually affecting our mental well-being, often without us even realizing it.

About the author : Sukirat Singh Anand, widely known as Sukirat, is a distinguished Punjabi short story writer, journalist, and translator. Born in 1956, he comes from a renowned literary and political family in Punjab. His maternal grandfather was Gurbaksh Singh, the founder of the influential Punjabi literary magazine Preet Lari, while his father, Jagjit Singh Anand, was a prominent communist leader and the editor of Nawan Zamana. His mother, Urmila, was also an accomplished prose writer. From the early 1970s until the late 1990s, Sukirat lived in Moscow for nearly 24 years, where he witnessed firsthand the dramatic political and social changes that reshaped Russia. He chronicled these experiences in his memoir, My Years in Russia: A Time to Remember. Over the years, Sukirat has made significant contributions to Punjabi literature, publishing eight books of short fiction and prose that reflect his keen observations, literary depth, and unique perspective.
