An episode based on a Mehfil, shared in its raw form. In February 2021, Rawanee's still-young community of poetry lovers got together for a second virtual event, in which we shared poetry and conversation over a cup of chai, as we built toward a story of reflection and of strength.

We learn from their creative journey and get inspired by their creative thoughts and expression.

Shaheryar Ali Mirza expresses his creativity through writing, advertising communication, branding and creative ideation in a corporate world. He even expresses it through jingles or something as personal as a song, when channeled as an art form.

An episode based on a Mehfil, shared in its raw form. In October 2020 when Rawanee was still a very new initiative, our team had a casual chat about the possibility of getting a few people together for a virtual poetry session, focused on "South Asian Poetry". We left a feeler out on Rawanee's social pages, got a heartwarming response and had a great time at the actual event. As we shared poetry and our thoughts on it, everyone present felt an amazing connection as we shared our love of poetry and of beautiful verses.

As this was our first ever event, we kept it simple and are sharing it with you in its raw form, as the beauty of this event is in the honesty of the conversation.
