Mohsin Rizvi

"The Blue Room" The blue room had not changed in seventeen years. It still smelled faintly of jasmine and talcum powder, like it had when Zahra used to sit by the window, writing letters she never sent. The curtains—sun-bleached and threadbare—still fluttered like ghostly wings whenever the wind crept in. And the record player in the corner, long silent, was gathering dust under the weight of unwound melodies. Ayaan stood in the doorway, fingers brushing the chipped wooden frame. He hadn’t been back to his ancestral home in Kolkata since his...

Would You Sell Your Extra Kidney?

Mohsin Rizvi

Each year thousands die because there aren’t enough organs for transplants, and I may be one of them. It’s time to start compensating donors. WHEN WE WERE teenagers, my brother and I received kidney transplants six days apart. It wasn’t supposed to be that way. He, two years older, was scheduled to receive my dad’s kidney in April of 1998. Twenty-four hours before the surgery, the transplant team performed its final blood panel and discovered a tissue incompatibility that all the previous testing had somehow missed. My brother was pus...
