On the subtleties of the art of interviewing

Having a degree from a university is by no means a necessity to engage in an intellectual discourse, and likewise, private reading, keen observation and craving to learn can more than compensate for not having attained formal education from an institute.
Veteran journalist Akhtar Saeedi, whose collection of interviews was launched at the Arts Council on Thursday night, is one such person who must know more about Urdu literature than many literature graduates.
This surmise can be confirmed by the interviews of literary personalities he did for the weekly magazines and literary pages of the Daily Jang newspaper, for which he worked for 36 years until his retirement on December 31, 2018.
