#50 - A poem for all of our fulfilled hopes and unfulfilled dreams

In this episode, I read “Hazaron Khwahishain Aisi" by Mirza Ghalib. This is also the last episode of Ellipsis Season-1. I will be taking a 4 week break after this and return on the first Tuesday of November. I hope Ellipsis nudged you gently into reading and exploring poetry on your own a bit. When I look back I see several things I could have done better and differently but my one big hope was to have some of you listen to poems and see for yourselves how beautifully they capture the universal and unique aspects of the human condition. And if in that I succeeded, I would think of this as a job well done. Listen in!  The poem I read can be accessed here - https://www.rekhta.org/ghazals/hazaaron-khvaahishen-aisii-ki-har-khvaahish-pe-dam-nikle-mirza-ghalib-ghazals The host, Ravneet Bawa as -   @one_third_above on Instagram   @maikeya on Twitter   Email: [email protected]  Disclaimer: This podcast is created for sharing with friends and family, and only as a passion project amidst the Covid lockdown with no commercial interest.
