Respected Mr Muslim Saleem. It is heartening to note that you have launched so many web directories of Urdu poets and writers. Kudos to you. I learned from you profile on your esteemed web sites that you are over busy with English, Urdu and Hindi journalism. It is remarkable that even then you spare so much time for the service of Urdu. However, more details should be posted on the directory.
Well wisher
….Akmal Shariq
Dear Shariq
Thanks a lot.
You will be astonished to know that I have sent letters by post to all the poets and writers of Shahjahanpur asking them to send me details and pictures. But so far no one except one has replied even after one and a half months. This is history in the making. I am doing my best for the promotion of Urdu literature. But it is also the responsibility of poets and writers concerned to send me their resumes. Even then, I will continue with my efforts.
Muslim Saleem
Dear sir,
I feel that for the above purpose Mr. Fahim Bismil’s book “fizaa-e-Shahr-e-Dil” and
