"... Actually, inane ghazals* with the same "paamaal" and "farsooda"
topics do not amuse me all that much these days. This is a most
welcome change. Even in the past, I have advocated posting of Urdu
poetry on other subjects --- and "qudrati nazaare"has been one of the
subjects I have urged in the past. ....'
