"Highway' is the translation of Qamar Jamali's short stories into English. Qamar Jamali is a well-known Urdu fictionist of Hyderabad, Telangana. she is a live writer and continues to write. I personally met the writer and liked the thought behind her stories. The charecters of her stories aptly display the burning problems of the society which relates to the present scenario. They are not fictitious, they appear very much real and we find them in our day to day life. This appealed to me a lot. I translated her stories with the intention of making her known to the non-Urdu readers. "Highway" comprises ten stories.There is a variety of theme in her stories. Woman's emancipation is one of her themes. According to her a woman occupies not only a place in domestic field but also diverse positions in society.No doubt she speaks about the anguish of a woman, she doesn't do any oration instead she opens many doors for the characters to act and the readers to think. Her stories are her experiences and observations.The technique of dialogue explains the incidents in the stories."Lifeline" id one such very impressive story. The development of the story is by logical dialogue though it also has a psychological element in it.In her stories, "Aankhen", "Khwaab Tabeer" and "Tera Naam kya hai", we find characters, incidents,scenario,and dialogue move simultenously together. In 'Baandh Do' she gives a different perspective to Saadat Hasan Manto's,'Khol Do'. She gives a positive outlook to the story, apart from portraying the treachery of men. She tries to say that there is good along with the evil in the society. In the story, 'Highway', the writer aptly conveys the message of inhumanity in the society, through the words of the road. 'Shelter' is the story of adolescent crime. All through the story the protagonist is seen in search of love. 'Adam's Offspring', speaks of the helplessness of a brother to help out his sister and an ever risky situation of a woman in the hands of lustful men of the society. 'The Velvet Mite' is a pathetic story which depicts the stark reality of the days of Kargil war. The book, 'Highway', is the realistic image of the social mileu of the times. The writer not only picturizes the flaws of society but also suggests the measures to rectify them through the characters.

Just off busy Mehrauli - Gurgaon Road in Delhi, India, the 16th-century Sufi court poet Jamali is buried in a tomb next to Kamali, of whom the printed matter says identity unknown, but who helpful guides say, was the poet's lover. Little about them is known. Karen Chase envisions love and longing between the two, who according to Delhi's oral tradition were homosexual lovers. Others believe that Kamali was Jamali's wife, and some others believe that Kamali was Jamali's nom de plume. Over the reigns of Sikandar, Lodi, Babur and Humayun, Jamali's travels take him to Syria, Iran, Bhagdad, Ceylon, Mecca, Herat, Damascus, Palestine and Spain, making for many separations. The verse moves from Jamali's longing to Kamali's lament, re-creating the interplay between their passionate hearts.

In 2008, almost two decades after the Cold War was officially consigned to the history books, an average American guy helped to bring down a top Russian spy based at the United Nations. He had no formal espionage training. Everything he knew about spying he'd learned from books, films, video games and TV. And yet, with the help of an initially reluctant FBI duo, he ended up at the centre of a highly successful counterintelligence operation that targetted Russian espionage in America. For four nerve-wracking years, he worked as a double agent, spying on America for the Russians, trading cash for sensitive US military secrets, handing over thumb-drives of valuable technical data, pretending to sell out his country across noisy restaurant tables and in quiet parking lots. Now, for the first time, he will reveal the fascinating mechanics behind his double-agent operation that helped disrupt Russia's New York-based espionage apparatus and forced Moscow to reassign its top operatives

Jamali is an American artist of international importance. Mystical experience and spiritual ritual are the daily practice of his art, and the source of his vocabulary is in his dreams. As Jamali has said, these are not personal dreams, they are communal dreams and their expression in painting has become a new movement in art called Mystical Expressionism. In his introduction, Donald Kuspit says that Jamali's art answers modern art's social and political concerns of alienation and despair by fusing crosscultural communal religious imagery with modernist abstract art to create a new postmodernism. This volume is a sequel to "Mystical Expressionism: Paintings," also written by Donald Kuspit and published by Rizzoli in 1997.
