In a lead-up to Spoken Fest, the annual event that focuses on the power of words, Kommune brings us Spoken Salon to offer culture and literary lovers a timely dose of storytelling, poetry and music. The second edition of Spoken Salon called Shabd will be a celebration of Hindustani stories and verses, about which community manager and the curator of the edition, Pradumn R Chourey further explains, is a celebration of Urdu and Hindi and the friendship between the two. ‘This is Hindustani, the nayi waali Hindi, which is very conversational. It has words from Urdu, English and other languages that we speak, thrown into the mix,” he remarks.
