UnBlock Meetup 108

Our writing meetup, unBlock, is back, this time with a twist. For the eight edition, we will be joined by poet, Urdu language champion, and founder of Katha Kathan, Jameel Gulrays.

For this session, you will receive prompts upon registration, given by Jameel Sir himself. Your final entry can be based on one of the prompts, or an original piece. It can be a poem, a piece of flash fiction, a part of a longer story, or any other form and style of writing. Entries can be in Hindi, Urdu or English. There is no restriction on genre.

Send in a 2-7 minute video in .mp4 format of you narrating your work, along with the transcript in .docx or .pdf format. Quality of video won't be judged, but it should be clear to comprehend. Avoid background noises.

During the meetup, Jameel sir will provide individual feedback on both, your written and your narration skills. What's more, he will also be performing a work of his own and sharing some general tips on writing, delivery style and technique!

Registration is free. There are limited seats, so sign up soon and only if you are committed to attending. After you sign up, you will receive a confirmation email with details as required, including the prompts.

Deadline to send in your work: Friday, 12 June, 6 pm IST.
