**Thanks for the question.

why do i love urdu? it’s because urdu is a language of ‘love’ due to it’s sweetness. it also has to do with where i come from and the family i belong to. Lucknow is the home of urdu and i belong to a family of poets and writers. My Dad was a great urdu poet but he preferred to be anonymous while his friends and his ustaad were renowned urdu poets like Jigar Muradabadi, AsGhar Gondvi, Firaaq Gorakhpuri etc. My Uncle was in Bollywood and wrote the Story and the Dialogues for one of India’s legendary movies…“chaudhviiN kaa chaand” which swept several Filmfare Awards for that year. i also went to India’s ONLY Muslim University called AligaRh Muslim University and that place is like second home to Urdu. i was lucky enough to be taught urdu by 3 great urdu poets…Dr Shahryaar [he wrote all the HIT Ghazals for Umrao Jaan (old)], Dr Bashir Badr, and DR Asloob Ahmad Ansari…a great urdu critique and poet.

so, it all added up and when my dad passed away i felt the urge to write my poetry so i started doing that 10 years ago and alHamdolillah i manage to become tub-bandiya lol.

one can never be satisfied and the road to learning is un-ending … i have a long way to go but my profession doesn’t allow me to do much. i hope i answered ur question. :)**
