Book excerpt: 'A riveting resurrection of the city of poets, the city of history, Saif Mahmood's learned and evocative book takes us to the heart of Delhi's romance with Urdu verse and aesthetics.'--Namita Gokhale Urdu poetry rules the cultural and emotional landscape of India--especially northern India and much of the Deccan--and of Pakistan. And it was in the great, ancient city of Delhi that Urdu grew to become one of the world's most beautiful languages. Through the 18th and 19th centuries, while the Mughal Empire was in decline, Delhi became the capital of a parallel kingdom--the kingdom of Urdu poetry--producing some of the greatest, most popular poets of all time. They wrote about the pleasure and pain of love, about the splendour of God and the villainy of preachers, about the seductions of wine, and about Delhi, their beloved home. This treasure of a book documents the life and work of the finest classical Urdu poets: Sauda, Dard, Mir, Ghalib, Momin, Zafar, Zauq and Daagh. Through their biographies and poetry--including their best-known ghazals--it also paints a compelling portrait of Mughal Delhi. This is a book for anyone who has ever been touched by Urdu or Delhi, by poetry or romance.

Download or read book New Delhi Love Songs written by MICHAEL. CREIGHTON and published by Speaking Tiger Books. This book was released on 2017-12-10 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sensational debut collection of poems by a fresh new voice 'In these whimsical, deeply affectionate poems, New Delhi is both context and protagonist, alive in its dust, smog and everydayness, in the vibrant colour of the first lychees of the season, in the mysteries that lie between "city and sprawl." The city finds an ardent archivist in Michael Creighton--one who stoutly keeps the faith that "warm rains" will always "come to clear the dust." Suffused by rare tenderness, these poems return through the welter of streets and residences to an address that remains at the abiding centre of this book--the place that the poet terms "the place I imagine my heart to be."'--Arundhathi Subramaniam 'New Delhi Love Songs is a collection abounding with shakarkandiwalas, jasmine-sellers, FM radios and cyclists, the Ghaziabad flower market and Moolchand flyover; the Delhi all around us, the Delhi of "your flesh, your seeds, / your skin," of "sweat and soil / mixed with clover, sun and wind." Unusual, deeply affecting in their attentiveness to life that seldom makes headlines, these poems reinforce the skeins of humanity that sustain us. They are tender and droll--two qualities we desperately need, in the capital but also elsewhere--yet steadfast in their eschewal of easy sentimentality and facile observations. New Delhi Love Songs makes the heart ache; but also sing, from time to time, for this is where "even a dead river looks lovely."' --Karthika Nair

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sparkling stories of love, longing and heartbreak in the city by Ravish Kumar, journalist, TV anchor and bestselling author of The Free Voice A boy from Bihar living in Lajpat Nagar likes a momo-seller from the Northeast; she likes him too, but when he gifts her a token from his village, his dreams come crashing down. Samar travels with his beloved in a DTC bus in Delhi, the only space in the city where they can meet, but he's afraid to call out her name for fear it will be recognized. A couple shelters from rain underneath a flyover, hoping for a moment of seclusion, but staring eyes pour water on their dreams. And a girl lets herself into her lover's rented room, finds a bunch of letters from his past flames, and leaves him an unusual farewell note. In these crisp, powerful, micro stories, the celebrated journalist, TV anchor and writer Ravish Kumar brings alive the love, longing and heartbreak which flourish in the city's spaces. And even as lovers find the niches they need, the city itself shapes their relationships. Brilliantly translated from the bestselling Hindi original Ishq Mein Shahar Hona, A City Happens in Love is a tribute to the modern Indian city, its capaciousness, and to the power of love.

Book excerpt: For no particular reason He had the blue cow tattooed on his right shoulder He would have been killed in the riots yesterday But they were good people— Seeing a cow, they let him go! Written in Gulzar’s inimitable style, the poems in his newest volume of poetry reflect and comment, sometimes elliptically through a visual image, sometimes with breathtaking immediacy and directness, on the political reality in the country today. Powerful, poignant and impossible to ignore or gloss over, the fifty-two threads that make up Suspected Poems unfold across the entire political spectrum—from the disturbed climate in the country and the culture of intolerance to the plight of the aam aadmi, from the continued oppression of Dalits and minority communities to fluctuating Indo–Pak relations. Written with Gulzar’s characteristic incisiveness and his unique perspective, and translated marvelously into English by Pavan K. Varma, Suspected Poems, made available in a special keepsake bilingual edition, will delight every reader of poetry and Gulzar’s many fans.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Battle of Lepant: The Fall of Delhi, and Other Poems The author of the following poems, in presenting them to the public, acknowledges their imperfection, and is sensible that no apology on his part can make good the defect. To avow that he is a novice in the school of poetry, and that these are his first essays, might, with some, serve as a slight palliation. But an author deserves no mercy - he knows well the terms upon which he must meet the public; and if defeat happen, his is the fault. If this little volume should be found to contain any merit, partially to counterbalance the deficiencies, the public will do it justice; if the contrary, let it sink, where thousands of its fraternity have found refuge, beneath the quiet billow of oblivion.

Download or read book Chorus of Simplicity and Other New Poems written by Sushant Thapa and published by Ukiyoto Publishing. This book was released on with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simplicity is represented as a perspective of a poet in this poetry collection entitled “Chorus of Simplicity and Other New Poems.” The opening poem is titled Blood and Ground. It signifies the era of war going on in the world. Philosophy and personal expressions has played a major role in this poetry collection. Moreover, the poet has tried to universalize the personal by giving voice to matters of public concern. Nature is also a part of this collection because Nature is where we exist. “Failure isn’t a signal to give up” says the poet. He drives the motivational vehicle in this poetry collection. Dreams and freedom also make up a theme because humans cannot remain devoid of hope. The poet writes “ I am not only a history/ But a deep worshipper of my present time.” He is trying to be contemporary in nature. There is also a poem on Charles Bukowski in this collection. The poet finds Bukowski very pragmatic as he delves into poetry written by Charles Bukowski. The poet further writes “The mad rush of civilization / Cannot abstain the essence of nature.” The poet has highlighted nature as a major concern in this modern world. This is a global concern. Furthermore, the poet says “Outside my window/ There is a natural sunset/ Your painting is just an imitation.” This signifies the importance of Mother Nature. The originality of the subject lies in nature and rest is just an imitation; we learn from nature. Learning from nature should be the priority. The poet is concerned about that like a championing activist, through words. Sushant Thapa’s new collection Chorus of Simplicity and Other New Poems holds out for the reader the promise for renewal amidst gloom and decay. - Prof. Saugata Bhaduri, Centre for English Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India
