#UrduPoetry | The discussion of responsible translation is particularly insightful, as Aziz urges translators to consider the cultural and linguistic nuances of the original work.

Embarking on the divine: On translating the Urdu poet Jaun Elia https://t.co/fmbH2LBUAl

[Ammar Aziz @Ammar_Aziz]

@elCampeone LOL. I was born in 1989. Do your maths! :)

[Scroll.in @scroll_in]

Why do young readers and social media find Jaun Elia's poetry so relevant today? https://t.co/gIdyqIMwD9

[Scroll.in @scroll_in]

A mystique surrounds Jaun Elia's legacy, sparking a question that lingers in the minds of his naïve critics: what is the reason for this profound impact?

Our partners @TheSamaaj are launching a video series to raise awareness about the important issue of sexual abuse. A very engaging project that can hopefully equip many children with the knowledge, skills & confidence they need to stay safe from harm.Really looking forward to it!

[Ina Lepel @GermanyinPAK]

Very happy with the ongoing creative campaign by our partners @TheSamaaj on preventing violence against girls & women! The posters are very thought-provoking. I'm looking forward to their launch of a video series tackling this deeply important topic!

@thealephreview As for the form, I see each fragment like a shot – all these ‘shots’ are at times placed in a way what #Eisenstein calls a dialectical approach to film form: a particular method of creating montage where contradictory images create new syntheses.

[Ammar Aziz @Ammar_Aziz]

Glad to have a few prose fragments in @thealephreview from a large body of work. I borrow the language and culture of film to explore concerns, which are not really related to cinema.

The whole #Fabindia fiasco is really absurd. Resharing my poem about #Urdu which had appeared in #museindia last year.
