Iss hafte #shair mein

6th Oct     #HaqiqiIshq 
( we tend to confuse Id uz Adha with just Bakried and the qurbaani. Doctor Nayab pointed this out that the celebration of this Eid is to celebrate the unquestioned love that H Ibrahim had for his God that he was ready to sacrifice his son. So this Eid it will be Ishq e  Haqiqi or love for the Creator. You can include sufi, bhakti, gurbaani anything which is devoted to expressing love for the Maker

7th Oct     #BegumAkhtar (All her Ghazals, Birth Anniversary)  

8th Oct     #Khushi

#shair saalgirah 5-6th April 2011 with a brief history



The concept of #shair was proposed by me on 5th April 2011

First tweet in #shair was by @dandiwakh on 6th April 


It was initially called #ShairOfTheDay but as it was too long and the limitation of 140 words meant that verse was curtailed on the suggestion of members it was curtailed to just #shair 

The theme based verses were the idea of @auteurpravesh @mehranzaidi @aaquib and @dandiwakh
The first tweet on the theme #intezaar was by @dandiwakh

We are all indebted to Gaurav Sharma (@dandiwakh) for preserving these tweets


First tweet of @shairoftheday handle. Before that i used my own handle 

Sunday, 30 March 2014

Iss hafte #shair mein 31st March to 5th April

31st - #hashr / qayamat

1st :  #deewana ( bewaqoof) Any verse related to April Fools Day

2nd : #najm ( sitaara) 

3rd : #Munawwar ( Munawwar Rana)
It is #shair's 5th birthday so what better way to celebrate than such a popular poet

And old tweets from #shairArchives ( suggestion by @abidzaidi1) 

4th : #ParvinShakir

5th : #shairSaalgirah - your favs, your experiences or whatever you associate #shair with
#tukbandi for fun et al 
4th birthday of #shair which was conceived on 5th and first tweet was on 6th by @dandiwakh


Earlier it was called #shairOfTheDay but as it was too long it was abbreviated to #shair at suggestion of @auteurpravesh
The first tweet in #shair 


6th April - #Jigar Moradabadi death anniversary 
6/4/1890----------9/9/1960
Alongwith #shairSaalgirah
