Kaagzi Hai Parehan is the blog, where you can find stories, poems, experiences or any form of expression with any style. This blog doesn't follow any particular form of writing. Forms are created, dismantled, and (re)created according to the conditions prevailing around us or by the criticism of earlier forms. These writings in any form can be political or personal, though there is sometimes a thin line between the two or sometimes there is no line.Personal is Political and Political is Personal!!
The name of the blog has been derived from Ismat Chughtai's one of the books of the same name. Kaagzi and Paerhan, both are the Urdu words. Kaagzi means 'made of paper' and Paerhan means 'attire'. Ismat Chaughtai was the revolutionary Urdu writer of her times. She was very vocal and courageous in her writings. She used cultural and social idiom, rooted in the matrix of materialist conditions of her society and environment. What is interesting about her, is that, she in her times, used discursive language in Foucault's term, to explain the discrimination rooted in cultural and historical set-up. Kaagzi Hai Paerhan, derives its inspiration from her writings in many ways and tries to captures the nuances, within the society and the body.
