About the event
Join us for an evening of Dastangoi - presented by Sunil Mehra and Pallav Mishra. The duo will present ‘Amar Bel’ written by Ismat Chugtai - a poignant but bittersweet tale of an older man married to a much younger woman whose beauty and abundant youth are a constant rebuke to his own decline into old age. This will be prefaced by ‘Badi Umar ki Biwi ke Faayede’, a short humorous piece by Mushtaq Ahmed Yusufi, a noted Pakistani satirist.
