  1. Mir for Pain, Iqbal for Hope, Ghalib for the Present | Swami Oma The Akk at Jashn-e-Rekhta

    Mir for Pain, Iqbal for Hope, Ghalib for the Present | Swami Oma The Akk at Jashn-e-Rekhta

    In this live talk at Jashn-e-Rekhta, Swami Oma The Akk speaks of Urdu not as a language alone, but as a maashooq. Something intimate, fragrant, elusive, and deeply felt. Through the poetry of Meer, Ghalib, and Iqbal, he opens three ways of seeing life. Meer becomes the voice of loss, surrender, memory, and the pain that softens the soul. Iqbal stands for courage, becoming, and the pull of the future. Ghalib lives in the present. Restless, witty, rebellious, and brave enough to argue with the divine. The talk moves beautifully between ishq, fanaa, tajalli, sukoon, grief, hope, and inner fire, while the Yamuna becomes a powerful metaphor for damaged beauty that still flows with meaning. Swami Oma The Akk also reflects on how Rekhta has opened Urdu to wider audiences through Devanagari, Roman script, and digital access.

    Dr. Arfa Zehra Speaks | Urdu Is Not Just a Language, It’s a Civilization

    What if Urdu is not just a language, but an entire way of seeing the world? In this live conversation, Dr. Arfa Sayeda Zehra reveals why Urdu carries far more than words. It carries adaab, memory, poetry, emotion, and a complete civilizational ethos. Joined by Saif Mahmood and Moin Mir at Jashn-e-Rekhta, she speaks about why Urdu belongs to everyone, not to one religion, one nation, or one class. From the grace of saying aap to the lost art of listening, from Ghalib and Meer to the crisis of modern conversation, this episode opens up the deeper soul of the language in a way that feels urgent even today.

    Meer vs Ghalib | Feeling, Thought, and Urdu Poetry at Jashn-e-Rekhta

    In this episode at Jashn-e-Rekhta, we explore the timeless poetry and lasting legacy of Meer Taqi Meer, the poet many revere as Khuda-e-Sukhan. Through an engaging conversation featuring Farhat Ehsas, Shafey Kidwai, and Sarfaraz Khalid, this session looks at how Meer shaped the emotional language of Urdu poetry and gave the ghazal a voice that still feels alive today. The episode reflects on Meer’s extraordinary journey, his gift for turning everyday language into great literature, and the deep emotional current, or rawani, that makes his poetry unforgettable. It also draws a fascinating comparison between Meer and Mirza Ghalib, placing feeling and thought side by side in the history of Urdu verse. From his masnavis to Zikr-e-Meer, and from the fall of Delhi to the rise of Rekhta, this is a rich and rewarding listen for anyone who wants to understand the soul, softness, and truth of classical Urdu poetry.

    Jaideep Ahlawat Speaks Rejection, Patience, and the First Break | Rekhta Guftgu

    In this episode of Rekhta Guftgu, Syed Mohammad Irfan sits down with Jaideep Ahlawat for an honest, deeply reflective conversation on rejection, patience, and the long road to recognition. Jaideep looks back on his childhood in Kharkada near Rohtak, growing up in a family of teachers, dreaming first of the Indian Army, and facing repeated setbacks after clearing written exams but failing the SSB. What followed was not a straight path, but a slow, meaningful journey toward acting. He speaks about theatre becoming an emotional outlet, discovering literature through Premchand, training at FTII, and learning to trust the process instead of chasing every audition. He also reflects on the turning point of Gangs of Wasseypur, the inner life of a character, and the method behind performances like Hathi Ram in Paatal Lok.

    Imtiaz Ali on Failure, Theatre, and Finding His Voice | Rekhta Guftgu

    In this episode of Rekhta Guftgu, filmmaker Imtiaz Ali opens up about the failures, doubts, and turning points that shaped his journey long before Bollywood success found him. In a deeply honest conversation with Irfan, he reflects on failing ninth grade, discovering theatre at Hindu College, finding creative grounding with Act One, and arriving in Mumbai without a fixed plan. He talks about learning filmmaking on the job through television, the uncertainty of early rejection, and the long road to finding his voice as a director. The conversation also moves into the heart of storytelling, how stories choose us, what changes when stars and budgets enter the picture, and why a filmmaker must protect their inner truth even under pressure. This is about identity, language, belonging, ambition, and the courage to go deeper in life and art.
