Need Ideas.

Alrite, so at this local “function” on teh 14th of August, me and bro are Fatima Jinnah and Jinnah (respectively).

The scenerio is both of us on stage and we have to kinda talk about the future we hold (in our eyes) for this new-born country. It’ll be like a discussion b/w a bro and a sis (politically correct–nothing hinting towards indians b/c to some autiez its a big NO-NO) A little speech-type thing. (wiht mushkil urdu)

Maybe someone’s done somehting like this in the past and can be of some help.

Remember, Hard Urdu.

THanks.

How about watching the Drama Jinnah which is in Urdu! Could help you! Or Watch Jinnah and translate it from there!

Good idea and Alibeta’s suggestion about the Jinnah movie is good. I don’t know you should be able to get good books from your library on Jinnah.

Btw, why hard urdu? Why not easy urdu so that message can be put forward rather than confusing the audience

Remember, Jinnah didn’t speak lucknowi or hard urdu

I've seen both teh drama and teh movie. Thing is, I really don't have the time to watch it again (tho, I'll look into renting the movie once again)

I am just asking for those "rattay" huay speeches....with good words.

Nothing like plain, plain urdu taht we know Jinnah may not have used. I am asking for some mushkil alfaz b/c the audience is mostly auntiez and uncles.

Commi,

Try messaging someone from the poetry section.....they might be able to help you more.....

X commi make sure that you know how to pronounce those “mushkil alfaaz” nothing is funnier in such events than someone using words not knowing what they mean or how they are pronounced. kitaabchaa becomes kutta-baccha, amritsar becomes amarr-tasarr.

Ideas I can help you with but you will have to write the speech and then ask people to add on to it

Note: please try to stay within the spirit of the topic. If you need to philosophize on politics, try the politics section.

Who is X2 :confused

Ok, I've got some of Jinnah's quotes but I dont know how to create a dialogue between the bro and sis. Like for example, Jinnah could start out by discussing how Iqbal's dream had finally become a reality..(and he could recite one of Iqbal's pieces)...Fatima Jinnah, at this point, becomes stranded. Is she supposed to back him up or is she supposed to bring up another topic? If its another topic, what should it be?

How do I represent her character to the fullest?
