Presenting a collection of stories - in Urdu - around our favorite themes: Pyaar, Ishq aur Nikaah. A one hour evening led by three very exciting poets, Devroop Sharma, Dhurv Sharma and Rakesh Tiwari, the stories will are bound to be mesmerising, both in beauty of language and emotionality.

The word 'Qissagoi' is a compound of two Persian words, 'Qissa', meaning tale or fable or 'kahaani' in Hindi and 'Goi' which means to tell a story. A lost art of oral storytelling, Dastangoi and Qissagoi were revived around 2005, most notably by Shamsur Rahman Farooqui and Mahmood Farooqui. After hosting our very first 'Mushaira', we are proud to present Qissagoi.
