\"Daastan<\/p>\n

Freedom<\/strong>, Liberdade<\/strong>,<\/strong> \u062d\u064f\u0631\u0650\u064a\u064e\u0651\u0629<\/strong>, frihed <\/strong>and vrijheid <\/strong>all mean freedom, but in different language; it is subjective for it has a unique meaning for each individual. To write is to break free from being the prisoner of your thoughts and make a statement. Daastan<\/a> n collaboration with Movers<\/a> on their anniversary, Qissa Goi aims to invite spoken word artists from all across the world to represent their culture through their writings.<\/p>\n

Themes of Qissa Goi<\/h2>\n

1. Different is beautiful<\/h3>\n

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In these difficult times, it is important to remind people that being different is synonymous to being beautiful. What is your idea of beauty? Do you dare show that you\u2019re different<\/em>? Then what are you waiting for? Go put that pen to paper and start writing!<\/p>\n

2. Heroes of tomorrow<\/h3>\n

All heroes don\u2019t necessarily wear capes now, do they? We find heroism in acts of ordinary individuals. In fact, we see heroes every day in our life; remember that guy you saw saving a dog from torture? Or the girl who stood up on the behalf of all those who couldn\u2019t? Who do you think are the people we can call the heroes of tomorrow?<\/p>\n

3. Together We Win<\/h3>\n

The power of unity is often undermined. However, it can do wonders. There is an Urdu saying that accurately sums up the concept of our theme. \u201cTaali ek haath se nahi bajti\u201d which means you can\u2019t clap using just one hand.<\/p>\n
