#SocialAnxiety holding you back from being able to #liveyourbestlife? #fearofpublicspeaking holding you back from achieving the success you desire?  Listen now to this interview with Geoffrey (Jef) Huck, #PublicSpeaking and #SoftSkills Coach, to learn how you can #beatsocialanxiety and #SpeakWithConfidence! NOTE: We have a deep discussion on how to #faceyourfears without tricks -- the real path to lasting confidence. Jef also shares practical, #funandeasy #publicspeakingtips, and so much more!  About Jef (in Jef's own words): I'm a former software engineer who used to struggle at communication. Talking with computers didn't help me to #makeconnections, quite the contrary. And talking in front of a crowd, that was too much for me. I felt my career and success blocked not because of my skills, but because of my communication. So I decided to gain these skills at all cost. After a few years, I became the president of #Toastmasters Strasbourg, the biggest public speaking and #leadershipdevelopment club in the region of Alsace, France. I left tech to become a #coach to help all those talented people who are feeling blocked because of their #CommunicationSkills.  FREE GIFTS/RESOURCES offered by Jef: - Guide for Public Speaking: http://geoffreyhuck.com/podcast - Newsletter with Mindset, Public Speaking, Networking and Soft Skills Tips: https://subscribepage.io/geoffreyhuck  Other Links to Jef: - LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/geoffrey-huck/  - Book a call: https://calendly.com/geoffreyhuck/call - Website: https://geoffreyhuck.com  #liveyourdream #toastmastersjourney #publicspeakingcoach #PublicSpeakingJourney  #OvercomingFear #FaceYourFears #FearToFreedom #ConfidenceJourney #MindsetShift #SocialAnxietySupport #socialanxietyawareness #MentalHealthAwareness #CourageOverComfort #SelfImprovement #GrowthMindset #BreakingBarriers #EmpowerYourself #PodcastInterview #AuthenticLiving #LifeLessons #ResilientMindset #MotivationForLife_____________________________________ABOUT SAMIA:Samia Bano is the #HappinessExpert, author, speaker, podcaster & coach for coaches and healers.

What does it mean to 'dance' in Urdu poetry? In this episode of Urdunama, Fabeha Syed explores Raqs, the movements, the madness, and the magic behind it. It's the kind that moves your heart, your soul, even the world around you. We look at the ashaar of Majrooh Sultanpuri, Saghar Khayyami, and Abbas Tabish, and see how they turn dance into metaphor: the joy of little steps, the madness that takes over, the wild energy that can't be contained. From playful, innocent moments to powerful, overwhelming ones, raqs shows us how poetry captures life in motion. Tune in, and feel the rhythm of 'Raqs' through Urdu poetry.

In this episode of Urdunama, Fabeha Syed explores the word Fursat, those rare moments of time when you can pause, breathe, and just be. What does it mean in Urdu poetry? We look at the ashaar of Ghalib, Faiz, and Sahir, tracing how each poet reflects on these small luxuries: the freedom to imagine, the quiet spaces that let life breathe, and the way even fleeting moments can feel enormous. From daydreaming about the beloved to feeling the weight of solitude and the world's relentless pace, fursat becomes more than just leisure, it's a window into the soul.  Tune in.  Learn more about your ad choices.

What if you've been reading the Bible in black and white… when it was meant to be in technicolor? David Mack, founder of BLAC Ministries (Biblical Learning and Application Community), joins Matt and Ron to share how discovering the Jewishness of Jesus transformed his walk and his teaching.  From a life-changing encounter with Arnold Fruchtenbaum to building global discipleship resources translated into Swahili, Urdu, and Spanish, David's journey is rooted in reclaiming the full biblical story. They explore why Torah still matters, how modern churches often sideline Israel, and why a Star of David baseball cap stirred everything from conversations to controversy.  With humility and passion, David calls the Church to return to its Jewish foundation - not just for theological accuracy, but for spiritual vitality. Key Takeaways The Bible in Full Color: The Jewish context of Scripture brings both Old and New Testaments into clearer focus. Torah for Today: While it doesn't save, Torah still guides life, ethics, and culture - even for Gentiles. Wearing Your Faith: David's Star of David hat sparked conversations - and backlash - across cultural and denominational lines. Discipling Globally: With online tools and multi-language teaching, BLAC Ministries equips believers around the world. The Church and the Jewish People: Many churches resist engaging with Jewish roots, but David persists with grace and truth. Chapter Markers 00:00 – Meet David Mack 01:05 – A teacher who changed everything 03:30 – From CDs to global discipleship 05:00 – Teaching the full Bible to his granddaughter 06:30 – The Tanakh and Brit Hadashah together 08:10 – Baseball caps, Christmas trees & identity 10:50 – Wearing the Star: reactions from strangers 13:00 – What churches are missing without Torah 15:30 – Torah as a modern blueprint for life 21:00 – Cultural drift and biblical morality 23:00 – Reaching Jewish people from within 26:00 – Holidays, email teaching, and impact 28:00 – Redefining fruitfulness in Jewish ministry 30:00 – Tools and teaching from BLAC Ministries To dive deeper into the Jewish roots of your faith: Visit thejewishroad.com for podcasts, resources, and teachings.

For centuries, Urdu has been part of a shared cultural space, shaped by people from diverse communities and traditions. Yet this fact is often forgotten or pushed aside. That's why the new anthology Whose Urdu Is It Anyway? feels so important. Edited and translated into English by writer, literary historian, and translator Dr. Rakhshanda Jalil, the book brings together 16 Urdu short stories written by non-Muslim writers. The collection features powerful voices such as Krishan Chander, Rajinder Singh Bedi, Kanhaiya Lal Kapoor, and Gulzar, among others. Together, their stories challenge the stereotype that Urdu belongs to a single identity, reminding us instead that it has always been a language of many, reflecting universal themes of love, loss, displacement, and belonging.

Gardening on Water: The Dal's Ancient Floating GardensFor thousands of years, Kashmir has been called jannat (heaven) by Urdu poets, travelers, and tourists. The Dal Lake in Srinagar is a jewel in its crown. Flamingo pink lotuses carpet the waters, and shikaras —small wooden boats— row upon it, making the destination a favorite for Instagram-loving honeymooners. However, deep in the Dal is a world less visible: its floating gardens. In Gardening on Water, Meher Varma, returns with a two-part audio dispatch from Srinagar, introducing us to the political complexities that challenge the reductive depiction of 'Kashmir as heaven on earth.' Join us as we row you through the majestic and complex world of Dal's Floating Gardens. This episode was made possible by the support of @heirloomcities

Get ready for a literary hungama unlike any other! PerryFlix is thrilled to announce the super launch of its groundbreaking "PerryFlix Short Stories" book series, pioneering didactic tales crafted in Hinglish! These stories are designed for both international learners struggling with initial Hindi, and native speakers seeking what sounds most practical in everyday conversation [Conversation History]. This venture, featuring acclaimed author Jimmy Mello's journey into India's linguistic landscape, marks the "birth of a language" [Conversation History], a natural yet forged evolution over years.So, what exactly is Hinglish? It's a dynamic and vibrant linguistic blend [Conversation History, 74]. In Britain, Hinglish refers to the use of specific South Asian words—especially Hindi, Urdu, or Punjabi—within a predominantly English sentence. Conversely, in India, it's often the reverse: English words woven into predominantly Hindi, Urdu, or Punjabi sentences. This unique fusion is already spoken by millions and encapsulates the heart and akal (common sense) of South Asian culture.Our new "PerryFlix Short Stories" series leverages this blend to offer an immersive and accessible experience. You'll find narratives that flow seamlessly between English and South Asian terms, giving you a genuine feel for contemporary communication. For example, in Anubhav Agarwal's Why Not Me? A feeling of millions (Hinglish Version), you see phrases like:"Zindagi! Ek sahi alfaaz hai apne bachpan ke dino ko bayaan karne ke liye" (Life! A correct word to describe the days of childhood)."Maine aadhi se zyada school life 'Boy's school' mein bita di thi, sirf 2 saal bache the" (I spent more than half my school life in a 'Boy's school,' only 2 years were left)."Mujhe pata tha milna na milna kismat hai, par ye ehsaas hona, ki wo aur main dono ek hi sheher mein hain, bilkul waisa ehsaas tha jaise wo aur main dono ek hi ghar mein hain" (I knew meeting or not meeting was fate, but feeling that she and I were in the same city was exactly like feeling that she and I were in the same house).This blending adds unique flavour and emotional depth to the narrative [Conversation History], allowing for a richer understanding of cultural nuances.Here are just a few examples of the rich vocabulary you'll encounter in "PerryFlix Short Stories," explained with their context, much like in "The Queen's Hinglish":Expressions of Emotion & Affection:Aish (pleasurable activity): "I just did aish at school."Izzat (honor, respect): "How can I insult her izzat when she had none in the first place?"Jaan (life/dear one): Often suffixed to Ammi or Abba (mother/father) to convey greater affection, e.g., "Abba-jaan, would you give me a lift?".Cultural & Social Concepts:Aadat (custom; habit): "I hope he doesn't make it his aadat."Badmash (hooligan/rascal): "That friend of yours is a good-for-nothing badmash."Bevakoof (fool): "Honestly, that boy is such a bevakoof."Chalaak (sly/crafty).Dosti (friendship): "Punjabi dosti could hold the key to better relations."Pukka (properly/perfectly done, genuine, or excellent): "That's a pukka road they've laid down."Everyday Life:Chai (tea): "All this chai is boiled with condensed milk."Chowk (marketplace).Colony (apartment complex).Mithai (South Asian sweet).Interjections & Responses:Arre! (calling attention).Bas! (enough).Haina? (isn't it?): Used to ascertain agreement.Haan (yes) / Nahi (no).Jaldi-jaldi! (go faster!).Namaste (salutation used for greeting and goodbye).Shabash! (well done!).Shukriya (thank you).Vaah vaah! (admiration).Yaar (friend).Join us on this exciting journey into the heart of language! PerryFlix Short Stories in Hinglish are your ticket to unlocking a deeper connection with South Asian culture and its unique way of expression. It's like discovering a secret language that millions already speak – ready to bring a new dhamaal (excitement) to your literary world!

In 2021, Arooj Aftab became the first Pakistani to win a Grammy. It was a Best Global Music Performance for her single "Mohabbat" off of her 2021 album Vulture Prince. Her latest album is called Night Reign. Like Vulture Prince, It's ethereal and beautiful and kind of haunting. In this conversation, Aftab talks about the influence of Meshell Ndegeocello on her work, being a recording gear nerd in addition to being an artist, and how great the Urdu language is for metaphorical writing.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

What happens when a defiant chronicler and an idealist revolutionary converge in the playground that is India's freedom struggle? Urdu newspaper Pratap, launched in pre-partition India, was a torchbearer against the British Raj. The man who publicly defended it against colonial censorship was none other than Jawaharlal Nehru. The pen picked up by freedom fighter Virendra, the paper's editor and the founder's son who once walked shoulder to shoulder with stalwarts like Bhagat Singh was equally fearless despite threats by the imperial government, Indira Gandhi's Emergency and a parcel bomb sent to Pratap's office during terrorism in Punjab. Virendra was first arrested in the historic Saunders murder case. He was also in jail with Bhagat Singh the day the legendary revolutionary was hanged, sharing a rare first-hand witness account. In Independent India, too footsteps filled Pratap and its editors with dread and terror. Pratap: A Defiant Newspaper is a timely reminder of the ethos of a struggle, a template for speaking truth to power at all costs. It is the story of a perfect storm. The book is written by Virendra's son, distinguished editor Chander Mohan and journalist granddaughter Jyotsna Mohan. Jyotsna and Azeezullah Baig will be in conversation with Maya Sharma. There will be a Q&A session with the audience. In this episode of BIC Talks, Jyotsna Mohan and Azeezullah Baig will be in conversation with Maya Sharma. This is an excerpt from a conversation that took place in the BIC premises in June 2025. Subscribe to the BIC Talks Podcast on your favorite podcast app!

Legendary filmmaker Muzaffar Ali joins Cyrus Says for a deeply nostalgic and insightful conversation around the re-release of his classic film Umrao Jaan – digitally restored 44 years after its original release. In this episode, Muzaffar Ali opens up about: The painstaking process of restoring Umrao Jaan, supported by the Government of India’s heritage mission. Why Rekha was “a dream to work with” and how her performance remains iconic and irreplaceable. The making of a stunning coffee-table book filled with rare photographs, original sketches, and behind-the-scenes moments from the film. His multifaceted journey as a painter, poet, adman, publicist, and director. Deep reflections on migration, language, culture, and the lost purity of art in commercial spaces. Cyrus, meanwhile, attempts poetry, mispronounces Urdu, and even tries to cast himself in the Gaman remake — with hilarious results. This is a rare meeting of high art and complete nonsense. Come for Umrao Jaan, stay for the madness.
