Kuch Jaan Lo! is an organization concerned with the arts and culture of Pakistan. The basic motive of KJL! is to reintroduce our vibrant youth with their own art and culture. Till now we have organized events on different literary personalities like Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Saadat Hassan Manto, Noon Meem Rashid, Parveen Shakir, Ahmed Faraz and Ismat Chughtai. Apart from these events we have initiated a series of events called Silsala-e-Parhant (Series of readings), and a reading club called Parhant Kada (Reading Club) in which we invite students and people from other professions to come and read literary pieces of any literary personality of Indian Sub-continent. In the near future, we aim to bring our regional literature, i.e. Punjabi literature, Pashto Literature, Baloch Literature and Sindhi Literature, to our followers.
