This Podcast Won't Let You Stay 'Khafa' for Long

New Urdunama episode — Unraveling the complexities of relationships through the word 'khafa'.

In this episode of Urdunama, Fabeha Syed discusses the word 'khafa', with a smile on her face, of course! The Urdu word means 'displeased', 'upset', and 'offended'. As she reads poetry by Javed Akhtar, Bashir Badr, and Anwar Shuoor, we unpack the complexities of relationships and understand how 'naraazi' can help us heal.
