Celebrating Mirza Ghalib
Tuesday 28th Dec 2010 | 7:00 pm
The mighty Ghalib is considered by many to be the most dominating poet of the Urdu language. He wrote most of his popular ghazals between the ages of 19 and 25 and is hailed as the father of modern Urdu prose.
In addition to being one of the finest historians of his time, Ghalib was the original hippie: subversive, rebellious, and unconventional.
Join us at T2F as we pay a tribute to the myriad dimensions of Ghalib’s genius. The program features the screening of a short film on Ghalib by Yousuf Saeed, as well as readings of his works and letters. Aslam Farrukhi, Asif Farrukhi, Mohammed Hanif, Arshad Mahmud, Zaheer Kidvai and other Ghalib aficionados will participate. We may also have a surprise guest :-)
We welcome audience participation so if there’s anything you’d like to share, please bring it along.
