Some stories are better left unfinished. The deepest writing stems from feelings so intense that you have no other way to let them out except by exploding them onto a white canvas. There’s no emotion stronger than the one felt alone in longing — when you’re not only dealing with the yearning for someone, but also the ache of not having that person to express it to. As the year ends, nature wraps up its stories of flowers and leaves to make way for new ones.This Mehfil is not meant to soak ourselves in sadness, but to acknowledge those feelings and find closure within ourselves. Consider this a “breakup party” in true Mehfil style — where we’ll revisit songs like Atif Aslam's Doorie, Sonu Nigams' Tanhayee, and Sukhwinder Singh's Dard-e-disco. This will be the perfect evening for both — coming alone to reflect, or celebrating closure with friends. Let’s close the year with a toast to old stories, and a welcome to writing new ones.
