Originally a poet, Vikram Seth attracted international attention in 1993 with the publication of his mammoth novel, A Suitable Boy. Set against the backdrop of post-colonial India, the novel made Seth into a literary celebrity – dubbed "India's Tolstoy" and "the Golden Boy." In 2005 he spoke to Eleanor Wachtel onstage at the Toronto International Festival of Authors about his book Two Lives. Part memoir, part family history, Two Lives chronicles the remarkable story of Seth's great aunt Henny – a German Jew who lost her family in the Holocaust – and his great uncle Shanti – an Indian-born, Berlin-trained dentist, who lost an arm fighting in World War Two. *This episode originally aired November 20, 2005.

Stri vimarsh ki kahani by usha jain Shiri. Narrated by Rani Ratta
This poem is by the Indian novelist and poet, Vikram Seth, most well known (I think) for his whopping doorstop of a novel “A Suitable Boy”. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hickey-mt/message
A Suitable Boy, the partner for life, they say has to be chosen by heart ,one whom you can connect with and love spending time with . But life is not just about spending time together but is more like living it through all its facets.. So, being practical and mindful is equally important
Paul Veyret est MCF Études anglophones Université Bordeaux Montaigne (membre du laboratoire EA 4196 CLIMAS). Il est spécialiste de l'étude de la diaspora indienne, de l'Inde, du Pakistan et des liens avec la littérature britannique. Il présente ici la série A SUITABLE BOY, disponible sur Netflix. Il présente d'abord le roman éponyme de Vikhram Seth puis montre comment ce roman a fortement influencé les showrunners de la série, en particulier autour de la notion "d'indo-nostalgie". Il présente ensuite le cadre chronologique de la série, l'Inde du début des années 1950, marquée par les premières années de l'Indépendance, mais aussi les troubles entre Hindous et musulmans. Il décrit ensuite, à travers la série, le fonctionnement de la société indienne et ses traditions. Plus d'infos sur https://www.histoireenseries.com

What happens to gender, when we use Hinglish or the mix of Hindi and English with greater frequency? Now that is a very interesting question, given that Hindi is a gendered language and English isn't. Our Friday special guest Puja Talwar speaks to actress Rasika Dugal (starring in web series A Suitable Boy, Mirzapur and Made in Heaven) who raises the question and leaves us with the thought, that perhaps we need to get consensus.

Mira Nair, director of the BBC's adaptation of A Suitable Boy, on making her TV debut and finishing the series as the pandemic hit; Good Gate Media head of production John Giwa-Amu on the company's new interactive romantic comedy, filmed during lockdown; and A24 Media CEO Asif Sheikh on the launch of new African VoD service Yebo.
With the two most talked about shows currently amongst our community, A Suitable Boy and Indian Matchmaking, in full swing, we decide to look in detail into both shows. With mixed receptions for both, we ask how much representation these shows need to reflect for our community, and whether they are detrimental to aspects of our culture. Listen in, as we dissect both shows, looking into misogyny, casteism, colourism and stereotypes... with some controversial viewpoints!

An ebullient Jeffrey Archer shares his lifelong passion for cricket as the latest guest of Peter Oborne and Richard Heller on their regular cricket-themed podcast.He describes his earliest memories of watching his beloved English county Somerset at the Clarence Park ground in Weston-super-Mare (sadly no longer used for first-class matches). As a boy, he demonstrated entrepreneurial flair selling scorecards and especially teas: this inspired resistance from trade unions and helped to shape his political outlook as an opponent of the British Labour party.He gives vivid portraits of a host of cricketers he has befriended on and off the field, including:-Derek Underwood (he took revenge on him through a charity auction for two consecutive dismissals in a match)-Viv Richards (he sacrificed his wicket for him in a match at Taunton)-Clive Lloyd (brilliantly catching his other friend Sunil Gavaskar in delayed amends for dropping him during the latter's first great series in the West Indies). He also praises Clive Lloyd's dedication to the cause of young people in Britain and the West IndiesHe assesses Ian Botham, “a friend for over 50 years… the bravest swashbuckler I've ever encountered. Had he been born 20 years earlier, he would have won the VC in the war”. Having earned the CBE on retirement as a cricketer and a knighthood for his dedicated charity work, Botham now has a peerage for political reasons, but he will have a chance now to follow another friend and cricketing peer, Colin Cowdrey, as a frequent contributor to the House of Lords on sport and young people. (It leads him to a splendid story about Colin Cowdrey and Len Hutton.)Jeffrey Archer highlights his strong relationship with India (23 visits) and his friendships with cricketers including Sunil Gavaskar, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman (“their long partnership at Kolkata was the greatest day in Test history”) – friendships which began when they became readers of his during their long stays overseas. He would be glad to make a first visit to Pakistan and to do what he can to promote the restoration of bilateral cricket links between it and India. He explains why he has never put cricket into his novels (“200 million of my 300 million readers do not understand it”) but looks forward eagerly to the cricket match in the televised version of his friend Vikram Seth's great novel A Suitable Boy, which has just opened on BBC. Turning to art, he reveals his expert knowledge of how to pack a Caravaggio. Sadly, it is not one of his own, but he reveals his latest acquisition for his lavatory and how to get to it (“turn right at the Picasso.”)Cricket plays an important part in his three diaries of prison life. He describes encounters with murderers and serious villains who behaved very ethically on the cricket field.At last he gives his account of the terrible events following his run-out for the House of Lords against the House of Commons – when he had to placate a crowd of 60,000 at the Oval, baying their disappointment at being deprived of the chance to see him score a fifty.Finally, he reveals his programme if offered the post of Prime Minister in a government of national salvation (he is still available for this, and as captain of England's cricket team). No one would be allowed to build anything on land used for cricket or any other sport. Above all, “every child will get a chance to have a chance” to fulfil their dreams and become the best they can be.
Abhinandan sharing his first acting experience in a play:Abhinandan: I didn't have dialogue, so I was just showing love with expressive eyes and my eloquent facial expressions. He [the director] said, “Okay, show love.” Then I was showing love and he said, “What are you doing?” I said, “I'm showing love!”Rajyasree: This explains why you've never gotten married because when you're showing love, the person must be so confused, thinking, “Why is he so angry with me?”Rajyasree and Abhinandan burst out laughing.This and a whole lot of other stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen discuss the Netflix series Indian Matchmaking; Vice Media's documentary The Arranged Gay Marriage Scam; the trailer of upcoming miniseries A Suitable Boy; Arnab Goswami's interview with Kangana Ranaut, and a whole lot more.Tune in!

Sometimes the line between memoir and novel is thinner than others. Keith Gessen came on the show this week to discuss his latest novel, A Terrible Country. Drawing on his own experience caring for his grandmother in Russia after graduating from college, Keith originally set out to write a much bigger book than the one he ended up with. He had fantasies of covering aspects of Russian culture in between the narrative sections, and coming up with – essentially – the Russian equivalent of A Suitable Boy, by Vikram Seth. He won a fellowship to work out of the New York Public Library and had access to every book in the system and wrote with this vision of a large book in mind for the year he was in residence there. And then he sat down and read the result and was horrified to find that it bored him. In our conversation, we discuss how he pared it down into the final manuscript and the things that scared him along the way to a final novel. Keith is very open about his experience in a way that will make everyone listening remember that, even though you write a novel by yourself, you aren't alone in how scary it can feel to do it. This will be a great comfort if you feel any doubt about reaching the end. Let Keith be the voice from the light at the end of the tunnel. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Kirsty Young's castaway is the author Vikram Seth. His novel A Suitable Boy was nearly a decade in the writing, but it was a huge and immediate hit and won the Commonwealth Writers' Prize. He is now working on a follow-up novel called A Suitable Girl. He's due to finish work on it in 2013 - 20 years after the original work was published. The pace of work, he admits, is slow: "The sound of deadlines pushing past is one of the sounds that authors are most familiar with - it's very much in the gestational period." Producer: Leanne Buckle.
