This nazm by Muneer Niyazi sahab is one of the most painful ballad of words that I have ever heard in my life. I remember hearing this for the first time in Australia at a fuel station.

Hi my lovely audience. I know you have been waiting for another mehfil mix but this song itself is a story. I believe the best way to do justice with this song was by narrating the original story of Sohni Mahiwaal. There are many renditions of this same story, I have chosen the one that fits narrative the best

I was reading this story by Gulzar Sahab (also one my favorite stories by him) and I thought of reading it loud to you guys. This is my attempt of bringing the pain of 1947 partition back alive and to give Darshan Singhs pain a voice.

i think it is one of those days when I have been feeling a little out of place from quite some time and just wanted to vent out. This is not about a particular incident, instead it is very generic.

was just randomly reading ghazal tonight and stumbled upon this gem by Amir Ameer Sahab. Instantly recorded it for you all. Let me know if you like it,

I have been reading a lot about Bhagat Singh lately, in order to gain insights about how the great man thought. I have read several letters and although many letters moved me, I started with this because if at all, I have gained a little insight into the mentality, I can come to a conclusion that the great man, thought very highly of his comrades. This letter was written, a day before his execution (22 March, 1931). The last line of his letter still haunts me...Follow me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jaisinghhofficial

Footprints on a zero line by Gulzar Sahab is one of those books, that I recommend to everyone. I have read the entire book twice and out of so many tales, and poetries, I find Toba Tek Singh as one of the most heart wrenching one. Karachi being the other. Please read the book and let me know what your thoughts on that are.

Sometimes you feel that sudden urge to express yourself because something is piling on. This is purely me expressing myself unfiltered. Also if Mohabbat Zindabaad had a theme. It would be this.

Music: A.R Rahman (intended for fair use only)

Partition has had a very strong impact on me. I have said this on multiple occasion rather. Today, while going through the pages of my diary, I found this nazm written by Gulzar Sahab which painfully describes the situation that I have been through so many times.

Presenting a voice over that will forever be close to my heart.

Music: A.R Rahman (intended for fair use only)

"In the echoes of the Sutlej's whispers, where the peacock dances freely, our love transcends borders, stitched in the fabric of time. Meet me at the confluence where history meets destiny, under the shade of the banyan tree, where our hearts first whispered secrets across the ages." - Jai Singh

Sometimes, the stories are not written by us. We only realise that they have been living within us for son long....

Written and Narrated by: Jai Singh (https://www.instagram.com/oldschoolbastard)Music: Aadat by @nescafebasement (intended for fair use only)

Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oldschoolbastardin the heart of Sydney’s twinkling cityscape, Jai and Afsana embarked on an evening that neither would forget. As the setting sun painted the horizon with hues of pink and purple, the two stepped out, elegantly attired. Afsana wore a graceful black dress that flowed like the dark, tranquil waters of the Harbour. Jai, in contrast, wore a sharp black tuxedo, echoing the silhouette of Sydney’s architectural marvels.The evening began with a candlelit dinner at a rooftop restaurant overlooking the Sydney Opera House. The mellow light from the candles reflected in Afsana’s eyes, revealing a depth that pulled Jai in, much like the vast Australian night sky pulls one into its myriad constellations. Their conversation flowed effortlessly, much like the waters beneath the Harbour Bridge, punctuated with laughter and shared dreams. As dinner concluded, they took a leisurely walk along the Circular Quay. The cool breeze from the ocean intertwined with the melodies of street musicians, setting a romantic ambiance. With every step, the dazzling lights of the city seemed to fade into the background, replaced by a world only they could perceive.With the Sydney Tower Eye witnessing their journey from afar, they spoke of dreams, fears, and everything in between. As they walked and talked, it felt as if the universe had slowed its pace just for them, allowing them a moment in eternity.Under the canopy of the starlit sky, by the shores of the Pacific, they paused. Afsana looked deep into Jai’s eyes and whispered, “Tonight, amidst this vast universe of flesh and concrete, it feels like we’re just two souls, bound by something deeper than love.”And as they stood there, embraced by the cosmic ballet of the stars above and the rhythmic waves below, they realized that their souls had indeed transcended the physical realm. The universe of flesh had faded, leaving behind two souls, dancing to the timeless rhythm of love.Music : Micheal Kiwanuka (intended for fair use only)Written and Narrated by: @oldschoolbastard

Recalling one of my oldest anecdotes from what now seems like a previous life/dream. I bring a random rant for all of you titled "feeling dump 106".Aaj bhi apne kamre me maine har us cheez ki entry band kar rakhi hai, jo mujhe dikhai deti hai....kaash aisa hota ke tanhai bhi dikhai deti.... - Jai Singhfollow me on Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/oldschoolbastard

Music: Winter Aid The Wisp Sings (intended for fair use only)

presenting another mehfil mix of Tum Itna Jo Muskura Rahe ho sung by @paponmusic (originally sung by Jagjit Singh Sahab). This nazm by Ahmed Faraz sahab used to be my train read at one point of time and since then has had a very visual impact on my thinking. I always visualise two characters who are constantly trying to prove to each other that they are happy forgetting that happiness doesn’t need proving

Original Song (Intended for fair use only)

I have been thinking for a very long time to recreate one of a Ali Sethi’s songs into a Mehfil mix. Presenting one of his iconic songs “Haal Aisa Nahin” with a few original couplets by Adeem Hashmi “sar-e-sehra musafir ko sitaara yaad rehta hai, main chalta hoon mujhe chehera tumhara yaad rehta hai”. There will be more that will follow. I would like to begun this new series with the song of my favourite singer. Heard this song some 7 years back and have been following @alisethiofficial work since then. Could not find the original video of the song but I know how it looked like and was beautiful

It has been years since this ride actually happened but I realised that I have never really told this story to anyone yet. So here is a detailed version of the story split into parts. In this first part I tell you all real events from a third person perspective and I hope you guys like it. After all it was minus 27 degrees and I almost died.

Pakhi has been synonymous to travel and since I am in Kalpa by myself after a very long time. It had me thinking about the first time I met her. This video is nothing but me narrating a story of a real life incident.

Its one of those days when I am back to square one. I wrote about her countless number of times but today after months, I sat on my table and all I could think of was her.

A small stroy and narrative inspired by partition. Sometimes I feel that it is my past life and that is all I am going to say about it.
