A podcast celebrating Urdu, the language of love

Abdul Raoof Siddiqui grew up in Hyderabad, India but now lives in a suburb of Chicago, United States. He visits India often. He was always attracted to poetry from a very young age, his love affair with poetry started with his admiration for good Hindi songs. He always found himself fascinated with songs that had meaningful lyrics, though tune and music are important but for him lyrics still remain the soul of the song. He slowly drifted towards ghazals and started reading the works of Urdu poets. He still considers himself a student of Urdu. He pursues this passion of Urdu Poetry in his spare time to stay in touch with his Indian roots & culture.
 

I started in September 2020. My goal is to create awareness about Urdu literature and language.
 

I release a podcast every other week. It takes me two or three days to research, create a script and record. I am one man show I do everything. I find time for this passion of mine during evening or weekends.
 

I am pursuing my passion of urdu poetry, folks who who cannot read urdu script can still be familiarized with the beauty and elegance of this language through my podcasts.
 

I use Garage band a free software available on Mac. I have had no guests yet on my show, planning to have guests soon.
 

I use my instagram feed & facebook groups to promote my show.
 

Start, don't wait, jump-in with both of your feet and produce content consistently. Follow your heart, you won't go long, if it is not your passion or calling.
