Episode 9 - Lafz-e-Mohabbat - Jigar Moradabadi
<p>The classical age of Urdu poetry came to an end in 1960 when Jigar Moradabadi, the poet we are going to listen today, took his last breath. He was born as Ali Sikandar but is fondly known by his nom-de-plume, Jigar which translates to “courage” in Urdu. True to his name, his poetry was courageous, free-spirited and beautiful . His poetic expression is akin to Pushkin’s only taken a notch above. He fell in love twice, the second time with his ex-wife who he later remarried after overcoming a lifelong drinking problem. His loves and losses only gave his poetry new perspectives and meanings. He left an impact not only with his beautiful body of work but with his influence on some of the most well known modern poets of Urdu Majaz, Faiz and Jan Nisar Akhtar.</p>

Episode 8 - Tanha - Meena Kumari
<p>Today’s poem was written by a poet who was more famous for her stardom in Hindi Films than her poetry. Born as Mahjabeen Bano, she was better known by her screen name, Meena Kumari. She ruled the Hindi Film industry with her acting and sublime beauty for four decades. She wrote beautiful poetry under the nom-de-plume, “Naaz” and was poetry in motion on screen. Her personal life was as tragic as the characters that she portrayed on screen. Behind the glitter of silver screen, she struggled with domestic violence, an insecure husband and alcohol addiction before passing away at the young age of 38. She was an autodidact and taught herself English, Hindi and Urdu in the absence of a formal education. This poem reflects her loneliness in a world of fame, arc lights and stardom. #MeenaKumari #Meena #Hindi #Urdu #India #Bollywood #poetry </p>

Episode 7 - Rashmirathi - Ramdhari Singh Dinkar
<p>For episode 7, I decided to stay with Ramdhari Singh Dinkar whose poem we heard in the last episode. I chose this poem, Rashmi Rathi because I have always been mesmerized by it. It has a lyrical quality while being a study in Hindi grammar and vocabulary. It is a retelling of the Hindu epic Mahabharat from Karna’s perspective. Karna is the most interesting character of the Mahabharat. Born of an unwed mother and misunderstood through his life, he is torn between siding with his dear friend or with his half-brothers in the Great War of Mahabharat. The word Rashmirathi literally translates to “the one who rides the rays of the sun” and refers to Karna himself. Though vastly different in their plotlines, there are a lot of parallels between the epic of Gilgamesh and Mahabharat. Both use historically relevant places and events and both are epic stories of human emotion, magic realism, destruction, hope and realization of the truths. I am reading an excerpt from part three of Rashmi Rathi, where Krishna, brings a peace proposal to Kauravas one of the warring parties. The proposal is spurned and Krishna insulted. Krishna, who is a human avatar of God Vishnu, then warns about the horrors of a war unlike any other, in his gargantuan God form which encapsulates the universe and time itself.</p> <p>#Dinkar #Hindi #poetry #Mahabharat #Karna #Karn #Krishna #rashmi #rathi #Gilgamesh </p>
