Review for : Baithak: Open Poetry Gathering
Absolutely loved the event. I felt grounded to the present, yet let my thoughts flow free, thanks to the speaker who took us on a dream journey through Rumi's verses. Also loved the many discussions that emerged through the course of the lecture, felt a lot like a real classroom- alive and animated. Will certainly attend more of these and highly recommend everyone else to do so.

Insightful event! It was the introduction to another era and then prevalent mindsets, along with an in-depth analysis of the poet's style.

Today's session was indeed an eye opener. I had only heard of Rumi before, got to know so much about his life. Understanding someone's life gives you a different perspective of looking at their poetry. Also, got to know so much about languages and their relation to poetry. A great thing about poetry is that it encourages you to challenge limiting beliefs. Grateful to have been part of this session. Thank you. 😊
Review for : The Baithak Classroom: Literary Lecture on Rumi's Poetry
Since 2017, Baithak has been an informal gathering where we read, share, and discuss poetry. You don't have to be a poet or an artist or well-read in literature, simply a love for words and verses is enough. What sets Baithak apart is conversation: we look to create dialogue and interaction between artists and their audience, making sure that people do not simply 'perform' but also speak. We have two more types of sessions along with our titular specialty, namely the Baithak Classroom and Poetry Workshops. The Baithak Classroom aims to bring literary critique and analysis into the common public sphere. Our sessions seek to elaborate on poems across all languages, conducted by teachers/knowledgeable scholars. The Baithak Poetry Workshop makes its participants reimagine writing, approach it from different perspectives, and give a direction each one's flow of thought.
