• Rekhta is the largest and most elegant Urdu poetry web site in the world. It hosts Urdu works of poetry, fiction and literary critique. It is a commendable effort by the Urdu literati of Mumbai, Delhi, Lucknow, Hyderabad, Calcutta, Allahabad and rest of India.
  
  
• Rang e Urdu or   رنگ ِ  اُردوُ
  This is a Google Blogspot blog site where one finds Urdu complete texts of literally hundreds of modern and classical Urdu poets. Selections are typed out in elegant, beautiful Urdu Nastaleeq font in purple colar . . . a column on the right hand side names the poets whose poetry is inclued in Rang e Urdu and clicking on any name takes the reader to the selection of poetry of that particular poet. I found it to be impressive.

Initiatives of  Dareechah e Nigaarish

• I have started a WordPress blog entitled Naee Manzil to upload my views on various issues pertinent to modern Urdu literature, modern Urdu poetry, modern Urdu fictional prose etc.
  
  
• In 2014 I started a facebook page entitled "Talat Dareechah-Waalaa" to network with other literary minded persons and lovers of modern Urdu and Punjabi poetry and of modern Urdu and Punjabi fiction in general

• In January, 2010, I launched a YouTube Channel entitled
  "Goonj - Modern Urdu Poetry !" and will be uploading music videos, interviews and  recitations of moden Urdu poems to this channel; some of the recitations will be by the poets themselves.

• I had in 2011 also started a blog entitled "Na-ee Manzil, Na-ee Raahein" at blogspot/Google to raise and highlight emerging issues in Urdu poetry and Urdu literature but after 2017 have switched to uploading blogposts on my WordPress blog Naeemanzil. So, this Google blogspot blog only has my posts from 2011 to 2017.
