In this episode I present with lots of love, Shafikur Rahman Sahab's popular satire - "Review" which is on the art of reviewing books. Through his disarming style and easy to use language, Shafikur Rahman sahab makes fun of the aazad shayari. Watch out for his hugely comical nazm "Billian (Cats)" in this episode.

The second episode of Dastaan e Maleehabad covers the profile of Khan Sahab - another character from the yesteryears of Maleehabad. Unlike the other episodes, this episode just covers his character sketch with all his eccentricities.

The content is taken from the Hindustani translation of Mushtaq Ahmad Yusufi's masterpiece 'Aab - e - gum'. Like the rest of Yusufi sahab's probe, it is not only highly entertaining, but also provides a glimpse of the times with a strong undercurrent of satire that feels relevant even today.

Based on excerpts from Josh Maleehabadi's "Yaadon ki Barat" and Mushtaq Ahmad Yusufi's "Aab e Gum".

The intent was to present glimpses of the amazingly humorous worlds created by above masters in their respective books in a 10-11min content and take the listener to the old world charms of the imaginary city of Maleehabad with interesting characters, lukhnawi tehzeeb and polished humour and satire on our times in almost every line.
