Doosri Mehfil - Yaadein

Doosri Mehfil — Yaadein
Ek mehfil, jahan alfaaz azaad hain. (A gathering where words are free.)

Wahi park. Wahi gazebo. Wahi sukoon wali shaam.
Chaddar bichao, chai ka cup haath mein lo, aur baith jao. Koi stage nahi, koi mic nahi — bas hum, ped ki chhaon, aur alfaaz. Bilkul waise jaise ghar mein baithke sab sunate the — desi andaaz mein.

This time, we have a theme: Yaadein (Memories).
Bachpan ki yaadein. Ghar ki yaadein. Kisi insaan ki yaadein. Kisi sheher ki yaadein. Whatever memories move you — bring them to the gazebo.

How it works:

First half is themed — share something around Yaadein. It can be your own original poem, or a piece by a poet you love — Gulzar, Javed Akhtar, Dushyant Kumar, whoever speaks to you. Read it and tell us why it stays with you. You don’t have to be a writer — just bring words that matter to you.

Second half is open — share whatever you want. No theme, no rules.

And as always, you don’t have to share anything at all. Mehfil mein sunne waale bhi utne hi zaroori hain.

What to bring:
Ek kavita — agar dil mein ho. Kuch khaane ka laana ho toh zaroor lao — mehfil mein daawat ka apna maza hai.

If you were at the first mehfil, you know the vibe. If you missed it, aa jao is baar.
