2 Urdu couplets and shers with charcha

charcha(m): discussion

Description of charcha: Charcha is an Urdu word meaning informal discussion, debate, or conversation, often lively and engaging on intellectual or social topics. Unlike formal bahas, which implies structured argumentation, charcha emphasizes casual exchange of ideas. It differs from goftugu, everyday chit-chat, by carrying a sense of purposeful deliberation. In poetry, it evokes communal reflection, as in Ghalib's verses pondering life's enigmas through charcha.
