Main aur meri Tanhayiyi, aksar yeh baathein karthe,
tum hoti, toh aisa hota, tum hoti toh waisa hota....

Immortal lyrics..... engrained in our memories, lines which symoblise the essense of Romance....  And the author of these words - none other than Javed Saab.




Javed Saab is the son of Well-known Urdu poet and film lyricist Jan Nisar Akhtar and Safia Akhtar, teacher and writer, Javed Akhtar belongs to a family lineage that can be traced back to seven generations of writers. The highly respected Urdu poet, Majaz was his mother's brother and the work of Muzter Khairabadi , his grandfather, is looked upon as a milestone in Urdu Poetry.

With his one time partner, Salim, he scripted some immemorable films like
Zanjeer', 'Deewar',' Sholay', 'Haathi Mere Saathi', 'Seeta Aur Geeta', 'Don', 'Trishul', etc. Salim-Javed as a writer-duo gave to Amitabh Bachchan and to Indian Cinema the memorable persona of the 'Angry Young Man'.

Post his split with Salim, he wrote the scripts for Saagar, Mr. India, Betaab etc. 

Javed Saab is best known for his poetry, and his collection of poems titled Tarkash (quiver) released in 1985 is very popular.

We will be doing a series of classical shows, that wont be in the Retro Cafe, but possibly another show, another format.  We are still toying with the ideas for them and want to make them exhaustive and comprehensive, yet sharp enough to keep the listener glued to the speakers and make them come back for more.

Retro Cafe will continue to feature artistes, themes like before.

Javed Saab and Shabana Azmiji are coming here for a poetry recital of Kaifi Azmi. If this Retro is going to be Wednesday of this week, I wont be able to listen to it 😭 due to the time difference.
