“Intensive Gazal Writing Workshop”
Ghazal, as a form of poetry, has been practiced since generations. It has traveled far; From the royal courts passing from the markets, streets, cinema, television and now on to our cellular phones. Facing many a hurdle & obstacles on the way, it has survived & evolved. A lot of times, we are even listening to one and not realising it’s a strain of a melody or form from eons ago.
This Ghazal Writing workshop will start from the basics of the form, it’s history and origin and will end with you getting a taste of writing one yourself. Even if you don’t write or intend to, this will sure give you a sense of appreciating it more in it’s true essence.
