The articles compiled by Usman Mangi have been penned by cricketer Javed Miandad, commentator Iftikhar Ahmed, artist Abida Parveen and those who had been associated with Inayat Baloch in Radio Pakistan.

Former Sindh University vice-chancellor Mazharul Haq Siddiqui chaired the launching ceremony and veteran nationalist leader Rasool Bukhsh Palijo was the chief guest.
Mr Palijo appreciated the fact that such gatherings provided opportunities to sit with good people.

He said that this culture should be curbed.
Mazharul Haq Siddiqui said that women need to be given importance and empowered. This would strengthen Sindhi society, he added. He said that women had always been underestimated.
Inayat Baloch said that when his friends started writing on him, he came to know about his self for which he was highly indebted to them.
Inam Shaikh said that Inayat Baloch had discharged his responsibilities diligently. He has a strong personality, he added.
Niaz Panwhar said Inayat Baloch respected people and his poetry always influenced people.
