    Excerpts from Fasana e Azad by Pt Ratan Nath SarsharNarrator: Raman Kumar SagwalCurator: IrfanWe are thrilled to continue our Read Aloud Collective on Listen with Irfan, featuring a unique narration of the 19th-century Urdu novel Fasana-e-Azad by Ratan Nath Sarshar. This captivating performance is brought to life by Raman Kumar Sagwal, an officer at Income Tax Department from Panipat and a passionate reader of classical Urdu-Persian literature. Raman believes that timeless texts like Fasana-e-Azad are literary treasures, yet sadly, few recordings of such works exist. Fasana-e-Azad (The Adventures of Azad), serialized in Avadh Akhbar from 1878 to 1883 and later published in four volumes by the Nawal Kishore Press, follows the wandering protagonist Azad and his companion Khoji. Their journey takes them from the vibrant streets of late-nineteenth-century Lucknow to the battlefields of the Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878) in Constantinople and Russia.We are deeply grateful for narrators like Raman Sagwal, whose proactive and generous contributions enrich our collective. As previously mentioned, our initiative is neither competitive nor profit-driven. It is a repertoire of self-motivated narrators who cherish India's treasured literary traditions and celebrate the beauty and diversity of reading aloud.

Her unparalleled contributions to preserving, promoting, and disseminating Indian arts through television have left an indelible mark. With unwavering dedication and creative vision, she brought Prasar Bharati's Central Archives to life under challenging circumstances, bridging past and future through audio-visual archiving. Her work inspired generations and paved the way for aspiring artists. To me, she was a source of familial warmth and encouraging friendship. Her loss feels deeply personal. As I pay tribute to this warrior producer, dancer, officer, and nurturing figure, I share an excerpt from a conversation recorded nearly two decades ago in her Mayur Vihar home. Amid Delhi's sweltering summer and the hum of a ceiling fan, I captured her words on a Walkman, now digitized for you.Photo: Kamalini Dutt in Prague during an official visit to the exchange program on International Standard Practices in ArchivingCover: Irfan

    Recorded on 16th March 2008 in New Delhi.Pankaj Srivastava came to University of Allahabad at thesame time I did. It was this shared sense of alienation and curiosity thatturned us into friends—a friendship that continues to this day.Two lost souls, wide-eyed and restless, thrown together byfate. It was that shared sense of being out of place, that hunger to figure outwho we were, that wove our lives into a friendship so deep it's carried usthrough all these years. I can still feel the warmth of it, like a fire thatnever dims. Pankaj, my friend from Raebareli, was a force of nature. Hewasn't just one thing—he was everything. I'd watch him light up the stage withDasta, our university's legendary theater troupe, pouring his heart into everyline. We'd stand shoulder to shoulder in student protests, voices hoarse fromshouting for what we believed in. Late nights on Univesity Road, UniversityLawns in study circles, we'd argue and dream, and for a while, we even shared acramped little roof—our sanctuary. Those days feel so close, like I could reachout and touch them, even now. Seventeen years back, I stole half a day from him, and whata treasure it was. After recording we sat at Mandi House, cradling cups of tealike they were gold, talking until our words tripped over each other. Welaughed, we reminisced, we tossed around praise and gentle jabs for the friendswho couldn't join us. Back then, blogs were our obsession, but not forPankaj—he'd throw his head back, let out that big, booming laugh, and swear hischarm was in not being a blogger. “Pay me,” he'd say, grinning, “and maybeI'll read yours.” That was him—unapologetic, real, and so damn alive. I wanted to tell you about his days as a journalist, thestories he chased and the truths he uncovered, but our chat took a turn, as italways did with him. Instead, three songs spilled out—melodies from his soul.You'll hear them at the end of this Guftagoo, songs he used to sing with us,his voice ringing out bold and free in those wild, active days. Pankaj isn'tjust a friend; he is a speaker who could move a crowd, a student leader we alllooked up to, fearless and fierce. There's so much more to say, but I'll let his voice tell therest. Listen close—it's all there, the man he is, the friend I'll always holddear.Cover Image: Featuring Bearded Irfan and Pankaj from 1992-93 probably / Representational Cover Art: Irfan

    Once upon a time, All India Radio's Urdu service used to broadcast film stories. Here is the story of the film Shankar Hussain, briefly written and narrated by Anwaar Ahmed, a famous radio announcer from that era.Shankar Hussain (A 1977 Film in Hindi)Dr Uday Shankar is a kind-hearted Hindu gentleman who has chosen to practice medicine in a village rather than make money by working in a large city. Once, a devastating flood hits a nearby village and he goes there to minister to the affected people. At this time, he happens to rescue a Muslim child, Husain, whose entire family has been wiped out. He raises the boy as his own, alongside his own son, Ajay. As a good Hindu, he decides to raise the boy in the religion of his own parents, and Husain thus grows up to be a practising Muslim living in the backdrop of a Hindu household. Everyone loves the new addition to the household and Husain also is deeply attached to his new family.Yusuf NaqviDirectorKamal AmrohiWriterCurated and Cover by Irfan

    Conversations and Encounters Inside the Delhi Metro The Delhi Metro, beyond being a mode of transportation, serves as a microcosm of the city itself, bringing together people from all walks of life. Inside its sleek compartments, daily commuters engage in a rich tapestry of informal chats and encounters, creating a unique urban culture. From fleeting exchanges about delayed trains to spirited discussions on politics, cricket, and Bollywood, the conversations are as diverse as the passengers. Students compare notes on exams, professionals discuss office woes, and elderly passengers share anecdotes about a city that has changed before their eyes. Some encounters are serendipitous—strangers bonding over a shared alma mater, a lost object being returned, or travelers offering tips for navigating the city. Others are humorous and fleeting, such as passengers cracking jokes about the metro's infamous rush-hour crowds or offering unsolicited advice to someone on the phone. Despite the occasional chaos, the metro also fosters moments of kindness. People offer their seats to the elderly, share earphones to listen to a trending song, or help tourists find their way. These everyday interactions transform the Delhi Metro into more than just a transit system—it becomes a space where stories are shared, connections are formed, and the pulse of Delhi's life is felt. In these brief yet meaningful encounters, the metro reveals the essence of the city's spirit: vibrant, chaotic, and undeniably human.

We are talking about the golden phase of Hindi cinema, known as Parallel Cinema-a movement unparalleled in the history of Indian cinema. Spanning from 1969 to 1999, this period stands out as the most creative and realistic phase in Indian cinema history. It gave birth to immortal films like Bhumika, Akrosh, Paar, and Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro, to name a few. The Parallel Cinema movement also introduced us to visionary filmmakers such as Shyam Benegal, Govind Nihalani, Goutam Ghose, and Sai Paranjape. Additionally, this era brought forth an array of brilliant actors including Naseeruddin Shah, Om Puri, Smita Patil, Shabana Azmi, Deepti Naval, Farooq Sheikh, Amrish Puri, Sadhu Meher, Surekha Sikri, and Mohan Agashe. In our new series of podcasts, Pillars of Parallel Cinema, we will explore some groundbreaking films meticulously selected by banker-turned-filmmaker OP Srivastava for his book Pillars of Parallel Cinema. Join us on this exciting journey to rediscover the essence of cinema that was not just a reflection of society, but also a powerful medium of expression that connected deeply with human experiences and emotions. The Book Pillars of Parallel Cinema The book offers a retrospective of 50 landmark films that defined Hindi parallel cinema, covering the period from the late 1960s to themid-1990s. It explores the emergence of parallel cinema as an alternative to mainstream Bollywood, emphasizing films driven by creative vision rather than commercial motivations. Srivastava highlights the socio-political contexts these films were set in and how they resonated with the middle-class audience by reflecting their realities. The book includes background stories about how each film was made and delves into the significant role these films played in shaping the "new wave" of Indian cinema. Filmmakers like Shyam Benegal, who contributed to this movement, praised the book for its comprehensive approach to documenting this important era in Indian film history.
