I've decided to narrate the series of poems of Shah jo Risalo written by Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai (SALB). The book consists of 29 poems in total. Every poem has been given a title of "Sur" meaning "a musical note". Every sur or note is then divided into different stories (daastaan), like first poem is divided into 3 stories. Some stories have a concluding stanza (Wayee) as well.
Now the question is that why and how SALB has created such divisions and partitions? and what message is he trying to deliver through his poems? We (yes we = me + YOU) will try to find this during this narration.
The books I am using for narration are these two:
1- Shah jo Risalo (Sindhi version) - compiled by Abdul-Majid Bhurgri
2- Shah jo Risalo (English version) - translated by Shah Elsa Kazi
I guess we are going to have fun on this roller coaster ride :)
