Humeirah - A story of Existence, Beauty and Wisdom

"Why did thoughts that bother her not bother others? Why was she not happy with the things that made other women happy? Why couldn't she fit in?" These questions are the barriers in Humeirah's labyrinth of life: they make her feel uneasy about existence. This story recounts the life of a woman who seeks more than just gender emancipation; more than release from a suffocating marriage; more than freedom from a tight cluster of people who don't understand her. Humeirah's search for meaning- for the truth- keeps haunting her. She spends "most of her time... thinking, reading, then destroying and re-constructing the ideas and beliefs she h(olds) on to." Questions about meaning and existence haunt Humeirah, filling her with a sense of dread and unease as she wonders why thoughts that bother her dont bother others, why she isnt happy with things that make women around her happy, and why she cant fit in. Humeirah spends most of her time thinking, reading, destroying and reconstructing the ideas and beliefs she was raised with. This is the story of a woman who seeks something beyond freedom from a suffocating marriage and a cluster of people who don't understand her. A story of a swim against the tide.

Vasudev Murthy, Author of What the Raags Told Me and Sherlock Holmes, The Missing Years: Timbuktu "Humeirah is the touching story of a philosophical quest."
