Modern Poetry Sayed Tazeem

Cities have always been a very relevant point of inspiration for various art forms. From Dilli-6 to Midnight In Paris, Cities have filled the cinema with their beauty. When it comes to poetry, be it Edgar Allan Poe or Meer Taqi Meer, we have witnessed some amazing works inspired by the auras of some wonderful cities.   In this episode, we talk about how this beauty has been maintained and what we as viewers and readers can relate so much to.

1990s was an amazing decade for Hindi music. It made us travel into the land of love and set us on the voyage of discovering it through the sargam of 'Bas ek sanam chahiye' to giving us travel goals with the song 'Chhaiyya Chhaiyya' .  

In this episode of Chai, Sutta & Shayari, we discuss the beautiful time of 1990s Bollywood, when Pehla Nasha was the song you would sing to your crush in your heart.

Sahir Ludhianvi was an Indian poet and film song lyricist who wrote in the Hindi and Urdu languages. His work influenced Indian cinema, in particular Bollywood film.  Amrita Pritam, on the contrary, was an Indian novelist, essayist and poet, who wrote in Punjabi and Hindi. She is considered the first prominent female Punjabi poet, novelist, essayist and the leading 20th-century poet of the Punjabi language, who is equally loved on both sides of the India–Pakistan border.  Their love created a beautiful story which is still remembered through their readers and their poetry.

Usama Zakir is one of the best young minds in Modern India. His criticism of injustice is truly appreciable and this is exactly what he has portrayed in the poem which we have brought to you today, on the day of Eid-ul-Fitr.   With the ongoing crisis amidst Israel-Palestine, Usama Zakir's poem embraces the pain of the people suffering in that war ground. In the voice of Sharique Aziz.
