Meetup – Urdu Punjabi Nazm Qawwali Ghazal

Leave a comment

Urdu Punjabi Nazm Qawwali Ghazal
Very interested in meeting people interested in reading,  discussing, quoting, and singing Urdu or Punjabi Nazm, Qawwali, Sufiana kalaam, Mazahiya, etc. Think Urdu and Punjabi Kalaams by Waris Shah, Bulleh Shah,  and more modern Mazahiyas like Khalid Masood Khan’s. I live in Dublin CA and would love to have a regular Mushaira with others who are interested. Very casual, social mushairas with food and drink – with a focus on Urdu, Punjabi, and Sindhi kalaams. If interested in these feel free to contact me at [email protected].

Hi Everyone,
I have started and created a website called smilecard.org. It is an initiative to collect and organize cards and letters all in one place. From this website, senior centers and other places can download and print all the beautiful cards to hand over to someone who needs some cheer. Here is where you come in:). Please make ( or/and encourage kids to make) as many cards/letters you would like and upload it to this website. Anyone who makes and uploads 25 or more cards will get their picture and a small description put in on the website under “the contributors” section. So please, make some cards and upload them to smilecard.org to bring a smile on someone’s face. If everyone makes a couple of cards, we can all help the lonely, isolated seniors, by giving them some joy during this time and always as there is a huge need for this per the senior communities. Together we can make a difference!
Thank you,
Apara Sai
