A Mauritian artist of Indian origin Akshay Seebaluck shares his recent visit to Afghanistan. Read here Before embarking on his journey to Afghanistan, Akshay Seebaluck, an artist of Mauritian and Indian descent, had dedicated years to refining his painting skills in Khairagarh. His artistic pursuits led him to various European countries, including a year-long sojourn in Spain, and later, enrollment as a student in an art institute in Germany. Prior to his visit, Akshay held preconceived notions about Afghanistan, harboring skepticism about the potential reception from locals. His perception was colored by an image of a country where artists, particularly those depicting figures, were scorned, and a notable level of xenophobia prevailed. However, his month-long exploration turned out to be both exhilarating and transformative, challenging and reshaping the young artist's perspectives.

Now posted as DIG, OPS and Chief PRO in the CISF HQ, New Delhi. Recorded and Produced by Irfan on 11 July 2023 | Aur Sunao Guru | Sitting with no occupation and introspecting can be a valuable and reflective practice. It provides an opportunity to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a mindful way. In Aur Sunao Guru I present stories, anecdotes and life changing experiences in a short format podcast of 5 to 7 minutes exclusively recorded with various people from different walks of life. Pay attention to your feelings and thoughts as they arise. Explore any patterns or recurring themes that come to your awareness. Reflect on the underlying causes and potential ways to address them. Assess the decisions you have made and their impact on your life. Consider whether any adjustments or changes are necessary to create a more fulfilling and meaningful path. Reflect on your strengths and areas for improvement. Recognize your talents, skills, and positive qualities, and think about how you can harness them further. Additionally, identify areas where you can grow and develop. Contemplate the quality of your relationships with others. Assess the impact of these connections on your well-being and happiness. Consider whether there are any changes or improvements you can make to nurture healthier relationships. Take a moment to appreciate the positive aspects of your life and express gratitude for them. Focus on the things that bring you joy, fulfillment, and contentment. Introspection is a personal and subjective process. There's no right or wrong way to engage in it. Allow yourself to be open, patient, and non-judgmental during this time of self-reflection.

End of the series Gurma 1-Gurma 7 To me the nostalgia and the concept of a throwback is something one should value of. Nostalgia refers to the sentimentality or longing for the past, often associated with positive emotions and a desire to revisit or remember certain aspects of earlier times. This emotional connection to the past can hold personal significance for individuals and communities. Throwbacks, on the other hand, are intentional references or callbacks to earlier periods, styles, or trends. They can be found in various forms of entertainment, fashion, music, design, and more. Throwbacks often evoke a sense of familiarity and nostalgia, appealing to people's fond memories and creating a connection between the present and the past. The value of throwbacks lies in their ability to evoke positive emotions, create a sense of belonging, and provide a bridge between different generations. They can serve as a form of escapism, allowing people to reminisce about simpler times or relive cherished experiences. Some people beleive that throwbacks can be used as marketing strategies to tap into consumers' nostalgia and create a sense of authenticity or retro appeal and the opinion may be honoured. However, it's important to note that the value of throwbacks is subjective and can vary from person to person. While many people appreciate and enjoy throwback elements, others may not have the same emotional connection or preference for looking back.

The value of throwbacks lies in their ability to evoke positive emotions, create a sense of belonging, and provide a bridge between different generations. They can serve as a form of escapism, allowing people to reminisce about simpler times or relive cherished experiences. Some people beleive that throwbacks can be used as marketing strategies to tap into consumers' nostalgia and create a sense of authenticity or retro appeal and the opinion may be honoured. However, it's important to note that the value of throwbacks is subjective and can vary from person to person. While many people appreciate and enjoy throwback elements, others may not have the same emotional connection or preference for looking back.

Learn the the Art of Reading Here is a person who used to stammer when in school but with the support of his teachers he started participating in debate competetions and elocution exercises thus gradually over came. More (28) Zul Vellani - English Interview - YouTube Zul Vellani (Zulficar Mohamedhussein Vellani) (16 July 1930 - 31 December 2010), seen with Jagdeep in this clip from Aawaz (1956) was an actor, director, scriptwriter, producer and commentator. Zul Vellani By some accounts he was born on 5 October 1934 but Cinemaazi could not verify which of the two is correct.He was born in Mombasa, South Africa.A member of IPTA, Zul acted in about 15 Hindi films during the 50s and 60s. Cinema lovers would recall him for Aawaz (1956) and as director of Dak Ghar (1966), a very unusual and bittersweet film based on a Rabindranath Tagore story about the last few days of a dying boy named Amal (Sachin). Zul Vellani obtained a diploma from London Polytechnic. He worked for established directors such as Mehboob, Shantaram and Mani Kaul. A member of IPTA, he was most active in the theatre circles. He worked in prestigious productions of Hamlet, Othello, Pygmalion and Candida. His deep baritone voice made him the candidate of desire to narrate hundreds of documentaries and newsreels for Films Division shown just before the screening of films in cinema halls in the 50s and 60s. It is widely believed that Indira Gandhi had left a message that if and when she dies, she would like Zul to do the voice over for her funeral. On the morning Indira Gandhi was assassinated, Zul was flown to Delhi on a chartered plane to provide voice over for her funeral. Audio Courtesy Music of India Films Division | Script A.

Satyajit Ray made a film Shatranj Ke Khiladi based on a short story by Munshi Premchand in 1977. Amrit Rai the son of Munshi Premchand has got numerous stories of that era. Here he was talking some of them in his very characteristic style. Amrit Rai (3 September 1921 – 14 August 1996) was an Indian writer, poet, translator and biographer in both the Hindi and Urdu styles of the Hindustani language. He was the son of Munshi Premchand, a pioneer of modern Urdu literature and of Hindi literature. A prolific writer, Rai made his literary debut with novel Beej in 1952 and went on to write an acclaimed biography of his father, Premchand, Kalam ka Sipahi (1970), which later won him the Sahitya Akademi award for 1963. He also co-edited Chitthi Patri (1962), a two-volume book on the letters of Premchand along with his biographer, Madan Gopal. In 1982, he donated a collection of his father's 236 letters to the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library (NMML) at Teen Murti House, Delhi. His A House Divided is an influential account of how the shared Hindi/Hindvī linguistic tradition became differentiated into Modern Standard Hindi and Urdu. Rai died in Allahabad, in August 1996 at the age of 75. He had suffered a paralytic stroke earlier in March. BECOME A PATRON :  Work on Listen with Irfan takes time, money and hard work to produce.

It was a BIM's Alumni meet in Delhi around 2008 or 2009. My friend Anand Pradhan have selected half a dozen of poems by contemporary Hindi-Urdu poets and we enjoyed the evening. Discovered this recording (though very poor) last week. #Patkatha #Dhumil #BharathidasanInstituteofManagement Patkatha | Dhumil (Excerpts) इस तरह जो था उसे मैंने जी भरकर प्यार किया और जो नहीं था उसका इंतज़ार किया। मैंने इंतज़ार किया– अब कोई बच्चा भूखा रहकर स्कूल नहीं जायेगा अब कोई छत बारिश में नहीं टपकेगी। अब कोई आदमी कपड़ों की लाचारी में अपना नंगा चेहरा नहीं पहनेगा अब कोई दवा के अभाव में घुट-घुटकर नहीं मरेगा अब कोई किसी की रोटी नहीं छीनेगा कोई किसी को नंगा नहीं करेगा   अब यह ज़मीन अपनी है आसमान अपना है जैसा पहले हुआ करता था… सूर्य,हमारा सपना है मैं इन्तजा़र करता रहा.. इन्तजा़र करता रहा… इन्तजा़र करता रहा… जनतन्त्र,त्याग,स्वतन्त्रता… संस्कृति,शान्ति,मनुष्यता… ये सारे शब्द थे सुनहरे वादे थे खुशफ़हम इरादे थे सुन्दर थे मौलिक थे मुखर थे मैं सुनता रहा… सुनता रहा… सुनता रहा… मतदान होते रहे मैं अपनी सम्मोहित बुद्धि के नीचे उसी लोकनायक को बार-बार चुनता रहा जिसके पास हर शंका और हर सवाल का एक ही जवाब था यानी कि कोट के बटन-होल में महकता हुआ एक फूल गुलाब का। वह हमें विश्वशान्ति के और पंचशील के सूत्र समझाता रहा। मैं खुद को समझाता रहा-’जो मैं चाहता हूँ- वही होगा। होगा-आज नहीं तो कल मगर सब कुछ सही होगा।   मैं अपनी सम्मोहित बुद्धि के नीचे उसी लोकनायक को बार-बार चुनता रहा जिसके पास हर शंका और हर सवाल का एक ही जवाब था यानी कि कोट के बटन-होल में महकता हुआ एक फूल गुलाब की भीड़ बढ़ती रही। चौराहे चौड़े होते रहे। लोग अपने-अपने हिस्से का अनाज खाकर-निरापद भाव से बच्चे जनते रहे। योजनायेँ चलती रहीं बन्दूकों के कारखानों में जूते बनते रहे। और जब कभी मौसम उतार पर होता था। हमारा संशय हमें कोंचता था। हम उत्तेजित होकर पूछते थे यह क्या है? ऐसा क्यों है? फिर बहसें होतीं थीं शब्दों के जंगल में हम एक-दूसरे को काटते थे भाषा की खाई को जुबान से कम जूतों से ज्यादा पाटते थे   कभी वह हारता रहा… कभी हम जीतते रहे… इसी तरह नोक-झोंक चलती रही दिन बीतते रहे… मगर एक दिन मैं स्तब्ध रह गया। मेरा सारा धीरज युद्ध की आग से पिघलती हुयी बर्फ में बह गया। मैंने देखा कि मैदानों में नदियों की जगह मरे हुये साँपों की केंचुलें बिछी हैं पेड़-टूटे हुये रडार की तरह खड़े हैं दूर-दूर तक कोई मौसम नहीं है लोग- घरों के भीतर नंगे हो गये हैं और बाहर मुर्दे पड़े हैं विधवायें तमगा लूट रहीं हैं सधवायें मंगल गा रहीं हैं वन-महोत्सव से लौटी हुई कार्यप्रणालियाँ अकाल का लंगर चला रही हैं जगह-जगह तख्तियाँ लटक रहीं हैं- ‘यह श्मशान है,यहाँ की तश्वीर लेना सख्त मना है।’   क्योंकि शब्द और स्वाद के बीच अपनी भूख को ज़िन्दा रखना जीभ और जाँघ के स्थानिक भूगोल की वाजिब मजबूरी है। फिर भी उस उजाड़ में कहीं-कहीं घास का हरा कोना कितना डरावना है मैंने अचरज से देखा कि दुनिया का सबसे बड़ा बौद्ध- मठ बारूद का सबसे बड़ा गोदाम है अखबार के मटमैले हासिये पर लेटे हुये ,एक तटस्थ और कोढ़ी देवता का शांतिवाद ,नाम है यह मेरा देश है… यह मेरा देश है… हिमालय से लेकर हिंद महासागर तक फैला हुआ जली हुई मिट्टी का ढेर है जहाँ हर तीसरी जुबान का मतलब- नफ़रत है। साज़िश है। अन्धेर है। यह मेरा देश है और यह मेरे देश की जनता है जनता क्या है? एक शब्द…सिर्फ एक शब्द है: कुहरा,कीचड़ और कांच से बना हुआ… एक भेड़ है जो दूसरों की ठण्ड के लिये अपनी पीठ पर ऊन की फसल ढो रही है।   जनता क्या है? एक शब्द… सिर्फ एक शब्द है कुहरा,कीचड़ और कांच से बना हुआ… एक भेड़ है जो दूसरों की ठण्ड के लिये अपनी पीठ पर ऊन की फसल ढो रही है एक पेड़ है जो ढलान पर हर आती-जाती हवा की जुबान में हाँऽऽ..हाँऽऽ करता है क्योंकि अपनी हरियाली से डरता है। गाँवों में गन्दे पनालों से लेकर शहर के शिवालों तक फैली हुई ‘कथाकलि’ की अंमूर्त मुद्रा है यह जनता… उसकी श्रद्धा अटूट है उसको समझा दिया गया है कि यहाँ ऐसा जनतन्त्र है जिसमें घोड़े और घास को हर तरफ कुआँ है हर तरफ खाई है यहाँ,सिर्फ ,वह आदमी,देश के करीब है जो या तो मूर्ख है या फिर गरीब है...

Persuasive Percussion Vol 2 Courtesy YouTube Persuasive Percussion was an LP album performed by Terry Snyder and the All Stars and released in 1959 by Command Records (run by Enoch Light). The packaging includes the first use of the gatefold cover which, upon being unfolded, lists information about each selection. The liner notes state that the album may be used to test audio equipment, due to the stereo placement of sounds independently in either the left or right channel (something common today, but extremely innovative in 1959). The album cover artwork, by Josef Albers, is minimalistic in style, consisting of an arrangement of dots. The album was the first volume in a series of Persuasive Percussion releases. Provocative Percussion was the second release of the Percussion albums. Both Persuasive Percussion and Provocative Percussion had four volumes released over the next several years. In April 1960, the album reached number 1 on The Billboard's Stereo Action Albums chart, and stayed at the top for 13 weeks. It spent a total of 124 weeks on the top selling albums charts. In 1965 Cash Box magazine stated, "Persuasive Percussion Vol. 1 was perhaps the LP that put the stereo disk on the map. Much like Milton Berle, whose antics in the early days of TV was credited with selling millions of sets, this album undoubtedly brought to light the startling musical aspects of stereo sound on records". --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sm-irfan/message

Written by Ashok Pande, the novel Lapujhanna can be bought from here https://amzn.eu/d/8oZpxWT Baune Ka Bum Pakoda बौने का बम पकौड़ा हिमालय टॉकीज सड़क से सटा हुआ था। उसके प्रवेश द्वार से लगाकर खड़े किए गए एक ठेलानुमा  खोखे में रामनगर का मशहूर बम पकौड़ा मिलता था। एक कलूटा और गंजा बौना इस खोखे का संचालक था। खोखा बंद रहता तो वह साइकिल पर सारे शहर का चक्कर लगाता दिखता था। बौना होने के बावजूद वह हमेशा बड़ों की साइकिल चलाता था। गद्दी पर नहीं बैठ पाता था इसलिए सामर्थ्य भर तेज तेज कैंची चलाया करता। बाद के दिनों में उसने गद्दी हटवा ही दी। साइकिल के कैरियर पर कभी आलू की बोरी लदी होती तो कभी उसी के जैसे उसके दो बच्चे बैठे होते। क्रिकेट की बॉल जितना होता था मसालेदार आलू और बेसन से बनाया जाने वाला बौने का बम पकौड़ा यानी दुनिया का सबसे लजीज व्यंजन। बौना एक दूसरा व्यापार भी चलाता था। लकड़ी से बना हिमालय टॉकीज का चौड़ा प्रवेश द्वार जमीन पर पहुंचने पर करीब एक इंच पहले खत्म हो जाता था। नतीजतन फर्श और गेट के बीच एक झिरी थी। अपना गाल फ़र्श से चिपकाकर श्रमपूर्वक उस पर आंख लगाने से पूरा पर्दा नजर आता था। बौना स्कूल गोल करके आए बच्चों और स्कूल न जाने वाले पिक्चर प्रेमी बच्चों को पांच पैसे प्रति पंद्रह मिनट के हिसाब से इस झिरी के रास्ते पिक्चर देखने देता था। एक बार में पांच बच्चे इसका मजा लूट सकते थे। दर्शक को एक बमपकौड़ा भी खरीदना होता था। मशहूर था कि यह सब करने से बौना लखपति बन चुका था। यानी उसके पास हमारे पिताओं से ज्यादा संपत्ति थी। ...

Bhisham Sahni was an iconic writer, playwright and actor, born on 8 August 1915. Bhisham Sahni was one of the most well known and celebrated writers of post-independent India. While he was also known for being a professor, an essayist, translator, editor, dramatist, theatre Director, actor, social and political activist, it is his fiction that has made the most significant contribution to Hindi literature. One of the most gifted writers of his time, a man whose humanity ran like a deep river through his life and work, a man who lived with quiet dignity and gentle kindness, Bhisham Sahni wrote some of the finest books of his time, books imbued with humanity, compassion, gentle humour and delicate nuances. Proficient in Punjabi, Hindi, Sanskrit, Urdu and English, Bhisham Sahni started writing short stories at the age of 16. He wrote in Hindi more than a hundred short stories, compiled in ten volumes; seven novels, six plays, stories for children, a biography of his brother, Balraj Sahni, an autobiography and his Literary Journey (MeriSahitYatra) in Punjabi. BhishamSahni’s last unpublished novel on Gautama Buddha was written in English. Sahni's screen acting debut came after he had turned 69 and new wave filmmaker Saeed Akhtar Mirza offered him the lead in Mohan Joshi Hazir Ho (1984). In 1986, the Indian neo-realist filmmaker Govind Nihalani turned Sahni's novel 'Tamas' into a landmark television film. It was also the high point of Sahni's acting career. He played an old Sikh on the run with his wife from the riot-torn areas. Watched, and loved, all over India, the film triggered violence from Hindu militants, including threats to Nihalani. He was last seen in Aparna Sen's critically acclaimed film Mr And Mrs Iyer (2002). He received numerous awards for his excellence as a writer. He died in Delhi on 11 July 2003.

Sakina se pyaar. याद नहीं कब कैसे घर आए। रात खाना खाने के बहुत देर तक नींद नहीं आई। चमचम दांतोंवाली सकीना की मुस्कुराती सूरत मन से हटने का नाम नहीं ले रही थी। उसका 'सादी करेगा मुस्से' कोहराम मचाए हुआ था। "जल्दी सोता क्यों नहीं !" माँ ने झिड़की लगाई। उसे क्या पता मुझे सकीना से मोहब्बत हो गई थी। और मोहब्बत में नींद कहां आती है। कुछ दिन पहले बाबू के साथ हमने एक पिक्चर देखी थी जिसके अंत में हीरोइन ने हीरा चाटकर खुदकुशी कर ली थी। मरी हुई हीरोइन का हाथ थामे  हीरो रोता जाता था "तुमने ऐसा क्यों किया मीना ? क्यों किया ऐसा ?" नींद उड़ी हुई थी और पिक्चर का वही आखिरी सीन जहन में चिपक गया था। पहली मोहब्बत ने मेरी कल्पना को पागल बना दिया था। घर वालों ने सकीना के साथ मेरी शादी कराने से इंकार कर दिया। 'मुसलमान की बेटी को घर लाएगा? पैदा होते ही मर क्यों नहीं गया ?' जैसे डायलॉग मेरे भीतर गूंज रहे थे। ऐसे में मैंने खुदकुशी कर ली। मां-बाबू-भाई बहन सारे बुरी तरह रो रहे थे। सकीना की एंट्री हुई - "तुमने ऐसा क्यों किया! क्यों किया अशोक!" सकीना रोती जा रही थी। मैं बड़ी मुश्किल से रुलाई रुके हुए था। सकीना के विलाप के बाद मैं तकिए के नीचे सिर दबाए सचमुच रोने लगा। (अशोक पांडे Ashok Pande के बहुप्रशंसित उपन्यास 'लपूझन्ना' से आरंभिक अंश।) Written by Ashok Pande, the novel Lapujhanna can be bought from here https://amzn.eu/d/8oZpxWT Recited and produced by Irfan Details to support this Podcast Channel i.e. Listen with Irfan :- Bank Name: State Bank Of India Name: SYED MOHD IRFAN Account No: 00000032188719331 Branch: State Bank of India, Sansadiya Saudh, New Delhi IFSC–SBIN0003702 UPI/Gpay ID irfan.rstv@oksbi PayPal paypal.me/farah121116 RazorPay etc https://irfaniyat.stck.me/ Cover Image Hind Yugm Cover Art: Irfan --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sm-irfan/message

Irfan's Voice "सृजनशीलता केवल कवियों, गायकों, चित्रकारों या किसी और तरह के कलाकारों में ही नहीं, बल्कि सभी मनुष्यों में होती है। और वह कोई व्यक्तिगत गुण नहीं, मनुष्य मात्र का गुण है। आप गोरे हैं या काले, हिंदू है या मुसलमान, ऊंची जाति के हैं या नीची जाति के, एक भाषा बोलते हैं या दूसरी, इससे कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ता। आप भाषा को समाज से लेते हैं और उसे अपने तौर पर इस्तेमाल करते हैं। लेकिन उसका इस्तेमाल आप दूसरों से बात करने या संप्रेषण के लिए करते हैं। यह एक सामाजिक क्रिया है और बड़ी सर्जनात्मक क्रिया है। इसलिए सृजनशीलता के बारे में पहली और बुनियादी बात यह है कि वह हमेशा सामाजिक होती है। भाषा के जरिए आप समाज से अपने संबंध बनाते हैं- प्यार के, नफरत के, घर के, बाहर के, बौद्धिक, भावनात्मक, शारीरिक सब तरह के संबंध। और संबंध बनाना बड़ा ही सृजनात्मक कार्य है। आप मन ही मन किसी से प्रेम करते हैं और कहते नहीं हैं, तो उस व्यक्ति से आपका कोई संबंध नहीं बनता। इसलिए मैं अपने छात्रों से कहता हूं कि जो तुमने किताब में पढ़ा है, उस पर बात करो क्योंकि जो बात तुम कह नहीं सकते वह तुम सोच भी नहीं सकते। अगर तुम्हारा ख्याल है कि तुमने सोचा तो है, पर तुम उसे कह नहीं पा रहे हो, तो तुम्हारा ख्याल गलत है। असल में तुमने सोचा ही नहीं है। जो तुम ने किताब में पढ़ा है, उससे तुम्हारा संबंध बना ही नहीं है।" सृजनशीलता हमेशा सामाजिक होती है। ~प्रो. एजाज़ अहमद साभार कथन Image Courtesy R Ravindran Cover Art Irfan.

"कामयाबी के बाद मेरी किस्मत में भी अपनी आत्मा के साथ समझौता करना ही लिखा था। बिमल रॉय का व्यंग्य सही था। मगर समय से पहले किया गया था। मैंने चार्ली चैप्लिन की आत्मकथा बड़े शौक से पढ़ी है। मुझे लगा कि जहां तक वह महान कलाकार अपनी गरीबी और गुमनामी के दिनों का वर्णन करता है, उसकी जिंदगी की कहानी बेहद दिलचस्प बनी रहती है। पर कामयाबी के दौर की शुरुआत होते ही वह फीकी पड़ने लगती है। तब चैप्लिन व्यक्तिगत समस्याओं और लॉर्ड-लेडियों की दोस्ती में खोया हुआ प्रतीत होता है, जैसे आत्मिक रूप से छोटा होता जा रहा हो, हालांकि उस दौर में उसने ही संसार को 'गोल्डरश' 'मॉडर्न टाइम्स' ग्रेट डिक्टेटर' और 'मोस्यू वर्द' जैसी महान फ़िल्में दीं। अजीब सा विरोधाभास है यह। कहां राजा भोज, कहां गंगवा तेली ! कहां चार्ली चैप्लिन, कहां मेरे जैसा अदना आदमी। जितना नगण्य मैं, उतनी मेरी सफलता नगण्य। फिर भी मैं यह कहने का साहस जरूर करूंगा कि कलाकार की जिंदगी विरोधाभासों और विषमताओं से भरी होती है। उसके चरित्र की कमजोरियां और सीमाएं भी कई बार उसके कलात्मक विकास का स्रोत बन जाती हैं। अब तक जितनी फिल्मों में मैंने काम किया है उनके नाम गिनाते आया हूं। 10 सालों में 10 फिल्में। पर अगले, यानी कामयाबी के 18 सालों में 100 से ज्यादा फिल्मों में काम कर गया। कश्ती ठहरे हुए पानी में सपने की तरह थिरकती चली गई। निर्माता और नोटों के बंडल हवा-पानी की तरह हो गए, जिन्हें इस्तेमाल करता हुआ आदमी कभी सोचता भी नहीं है।" ~बलराज साहनी, मेरी फिल्मी आत्मकथा (प्रसिद्ध अभिनेता और लेखक बलराज साहनी ने अपनी किताब 'मेरी फ़िल्मी आत्मकथा' अपनी मृत्यु से एक साल पहले यानी 1972 पूरी की थी। यह सबसे पहले अमृत राय द्वारा सम्पादित पत्रिका 'नई कहानियां' में धारावाहिक रूप से प्रकाशित हुई। फिर उनके जीवन काल में ही यह पंजाबी की प्रसिद्ध पत्रिका प्रीतलड़ी में भी यह धारावाहिक ढंग से छपी। 1974 में जब यह किताब की शक्ल में आई तो फिल्म प्रेमियों और सामान्य पाठकों ने इसे हाथों हाथ लिया।) Narrator, Producer and Cover Designer : Irfan --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sm-irfan/message

"दोपहर का समय था। गर्मी बहुत थी। कैमरा एक ट्रक में छिपाकर लगाया गया था। सारी यूनिट उस ट्रक पर सवार थी। रुमाल का इशारा पाते ही मैं रिक्शा लेकर दौड़ पड़ता। कभी सवारी उतारता, कभी नई सवारी लेता। कभी दो सवारियां, कभी तीन। प्यास के मारे बुरी हालत थी लेकिन ट्रकवालों को रोकना संभव नहीं था। एक जगह सड़क के किनारे मैंने एक पंजाबी सरदार का ढाबा देखा तो कुछ क्षणों के लिए रिक्शा एक ओर खड़ा करके भागता हुआ वहां गया और बड़े अपनत्व से पंजाबी में बोला भराजी बहुत सख्त प्यास लगी है, एक गिलास पानी पिलाने की किरपा कीजिए। 'दफा हो जा तेरी बहन की...' उसने मुझे घूँसा दिखाकर कहा। एक पंजाबी आदमी रिक्शा चलाने का घटिया काम करे, यह उसे शायद सहन नहीं हो पाया था।  मेरे मन में आया कि उसे अपनी असलियत बताऊं और दो-चार खरी-खोटी सुनाऊँ पर इतना समय नहीं था। एक पानवाले की दुकान पर मैंने गोल्ड फ्लैक सिगरेट का पैकेट मांगा और साथ ही पाँच रुपये  का नोट उसकी ओर बढ़ाया। पानवाले ने कुछ देर मेरा हुलिया देखा, फिर नोट लेकर उसे धूप की ओर उठाकर देखने लगा कि कहीं नकली न हो। आखिर कुछ देर सोचने के बाद उसने मुझे सिगरेट का पैकेट दिया। अगर वह मुझे पुलिस के हवाले भी कर देता तो कोई हैरानी ना होती।  चौरंगी में शूटिंग करते समय भीड़ जमा होने लगी थी। विमल राय ने मुझे और निरूपा रॉय को कुछ देर के लिए किसी होटल में चले जाने को कहा। हम फर्षो रेस्त्रां में दाखिल हुए तो वेटरों ने हमें धक्के देकर बाहर निकाल दिया। हम भारतीय सभ्यता और उसके मानवतावादी मूल्यों की डींगें मारते नहीं थकते, पर हमारे देश में सिर्फ पैसे की क़द्र है, आदमी की क़द्र  नहीं है। यह बात मैंने उस शूटिंग के दौरान साफ तौर पर देख ली थी। हमारे देश में गरीब आदमी के पास पैसा हो तो भी उसे चीज नहीं मिलती यह हमारी सभ्यता की विशेषता है।" ~ बलराज साहनी, मेरी फ़िल्मी आत्मकथा (पॉडकास्ट एपिसोड 18 से अंश) (प्रसिद्ध अभिनेता और लेखक बलराज साहनी ने अपनी किताब 'मेरी फ़िल्मी आत्मकथा' अपनी मृत्यु से एक साल पहले यानी 1972 पूरी की थी। यह सबसे पहले अमृत राय द्वारा सम्पादित पत्रिका 'नई कहानियां' में धारावाहिक रूप से प्रकाशित हुई। फिर उनके जीवन काल में ही यह पंजाबी की प्रसिद्ध पत्रिका प्रीतलड़ी में भी यह धारावाहिक ढंग से छपी। 1974 में जब यह किताब की शक्ल में आई तो फिल्म प्रेमियों और सामान्य पाठकों ने इसे हाथों हाथ लिया।) Narrator, Producer and Cover Designer : Irfan --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sm-irfan/message

"हेलेन उस समय चौदह पंद्रह साल की बड़ी ही सुंदर लड़की थी। बस, गुड़िया सी लगती थी। वह अपनी मां के साथ बर्मा से नयी नयी आई थी। उस समय उसे न नाचना आता था, न हिंदी बोलनी आती थी। शिक्षा की ओर से भी वह कोरी थी। लेकिन इस सब कुछ के बावजूद, वह फिल्मी भेड़ियों को बहुत जल्द पहचान गई। मां को तो पैसों के लालच में भविष्य उजला  प्रतीत हुआ पर हेलेन को नहीं। वह जल्दी ही अपनी मां से पीछा छुड़ाकर प्रोड्यूसर पीएम अरोड़ा के साथ जुड़ गई। यद्यपि वह उम्र में उसके पिता के बराबर थे। इस प्रकार वह न सिर्फ सुरक्षित होकर जीवन बिताने लगी बल्कि नृत्य कला और अभिनय में भी उसने भरपूर विकास किया। मेरे दिल में हेलेन के व्यक्तित्व के लिए गहरा सम्मान है। अगर वह मां का कहना मानकर पैसा कमाने वाली मशीन बन जाती तो कहीं की न रहती।" ~ बलराज साहनी, मेरी फ़िल्मी आत्मकथा (प्रसिद्ध अभिनेता और लेखक बलराज साहनी ने अपनी किताब 'मेरी फ़िल्मी आत्मकथा' अपनी मृत्यु से एक साल पहले यानी 1972 पूरी की थी। यह सबसे पहले अमृत राय द्वारा सम्पादित पत्रिका 'नई कहानियां' में धारावाहिक रूप से प्रकाशित हुई। फिर उनके जीवन काल में ही यह पंजाबी की प्रसिद्ध पत्रिका प्रीतलड़ी में भी यह धारावाहिक ढंग से छपी। 1974 में जब यह किताब की शक्ल में आई तो फिल्म प्रेमियों और सामान्य पाठकों ने इसे हाथों हाथ लिया।) Audio Edited by Narendra Singh Dhakad Cover Designed by Irfan --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sm-irfan/message

"वहां से सेट तक अहाते में कई चमचमाती हुई मोटरें खड़ी थीं। मैंने इधर-उधर देखा और एक दो  पर थूका। फिर बाकी मोटरों पर मन ही मन थूका। जब मैं सेट पर पहुंचा तो अनवर (अभिनेता) की तरफ ऐसी हिकारत से घूरकर देखा जैसे वे सचमुच अपनी बहन (मीना कुमारी) के टुकड़ों पर पलते हैं (आज यह सब सोचकर मन में बड़ी ग्लानि होती है)। और जब अनवर ने मेरी नजर के सामने आंखें झुका लीं तो मैंने जीत का गुरूर महसूस किया। (फिल्मों के) इस समाज में हर आदमी दूसरे आदमी का दुश्मन है। इसीलिए तो इस किस्म के फिल्मी मुहावरे सुनाई देते हैं 'वह उसे खा गया' 'वह उस पर छा गया'। आज देखता हूं कि कौन मुझे खाता है और कौन मुझ पर छाता है, मैं अपने मन में बार-बार कह रहा था। अजीब बात थी के पूरे दृश्य के संवाद मुझे अपने आप याद हो आए। रिहर्सल में मैं इस तरह बोला जैसे बाज चिड़िया पर झपटता है। जिया (सरहदी) ने मुझे सीने से लगा लिया। मेरे पास खड़े मेरे गुरु (सरीखे) नागरथ की आंखें चमक रही थीं। उस दिन खुशी भरे वातावरण में शूटिंग हुई। पूरे स्टूडियो में जैसे नया खून दौड़ गया। कहावत है ना कि चूहा सोंठ का टुकड़ा पाकर पंसारी बन बैठा था। मैं भी नफरत पाकर कलाकार बन गया। अगर मेरा रोल या वह दृश्य किसी और मूड का होता तो यह नफरत काम न आती। और क्योंकि मुझे वह नफरत रास आ गई थी, इसलिए वह सब रोगों की दवा प्रतीत होने लगी। मैं जिया की उम्मीदों पर कुछ-कुछ पूरा उतरने लगा। मैं जो कुछ कर रहा था वह फिल्म अभिनय की दृष्टि से घटिया था। पर उस पात्र के संदर्भ में वह बहुत अनुकूल और सही था। मेरी कश्ती भंवर में से निकल आई। खुशकिस्मती से संवाद काव्यात्मक और नाटकीय थे। छोटी सी हार पर हौसला छोड़ देना और छोटी सी जीत पर फूल कर कुप्पा हो जाना अनाड़ी कलाकार की पहली निशानी है। ज्यों ही मेरी गाड़ी चल पड़ी, मैं दोस्तों-साथियों में बैठकर बढ़- चढ़कर बातें करने लगा।" ~ बलराज साहनी, मेरी फ़िल्मी आत्मकथा (प्रसिद्ध अभिनेता और लेखक बलराज साहनी ने अपनी किताब 'मेरी फ़िल्मी आत्मकथा' अपनी मृत्यु से एक साल पहले यानी 1972 पूरी की थी। यह सबसे पहले अमृत राय द्वारा सम्पादित पत्रिका 'नई कहानियां' में धारावाहिक रूप से प्रकाशित हुई। फिर उनके जीवन काल में ही यह पंजाबी की प्रसिद्ध पत्रिका प्रीतलड़ी में भी यह धारावाहिक ढंग से छपी। 1974 में जब यह किताब की शक्ल में आई तो फिल्म प्रेमियों और सामान्य पाठकों ने इसे हाथों हाथ लिया।) Narrator, Producer and Cover Designer : Irfan --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sm-irfan/message

"नाबालिग बच्चे का अकेले काम पर जाना ठीक नहीं समझा जाता। उसके साथ घर के किसी न किसी व्यक्ति का जाना जरूरी है। परीक्षित के साथ स्टूडियो जाने में मेरे स्वाभिमान को चोट पहुंचती थी। इस प्रकार मैं लोगों की नजरों में बच्चे से काम कराने वाला बेरोजगार बाप बन जाता। परीक्षित को तो मैंने मर्द बनने के लिए मना लिया था। लेकिन मैं खुद मर्दानगी से परिस्थितियों का मुकाबला करने लायक न बन सका। मैंने यह सोचकर खुद को तसल्ली दे दी कि नितिन बोस और दिलीप कुमार परीक्षित को अपने बच्चों की तरह समझते हैं और उसका पूरा ख्याल रखते होंगे। मैं यह भी देखता था कि स्टूडियो से लौटने पर परीक्षित हमेशा खुश नजर आता था। एक दिन मैं मोटरसाइकिल पर सेंट्रल स्टूडियो के सामने से गुजर रहा था कि परीक्षित से मिलने अंदर चला गया बड़ा। डरावना दृश्य था वह, जिसकी शूटिंग की जा रही थी। एकदम अंधेरी रात, आंधी तूफान, वीरान जंगल और परीक्षित एक बेसहारा मासूम बच्चे के रूप में भटक रहा है। वह चीखता चिल्लाता है, पर कोई उसकी मदद के लिए नहीं आता। एकाएक एक पेड़ की मोटी टहनी उसके सिर पर आकर गिरती है। लालटेन गिरकर बुझ जाती है। यानी बच्चा हमेशा के लिए अंधा हो गया है।" ~ बलराज साहनी, मेरी फ़िल्मी आत्मकथा (प्रसिद्ध अभिनेता और लेखक बलराज साहनी ने अपनी किताब 'मेरी फ़िल्मी आत्मकथा' अपनी मृत्यु से एक साल पहले यानी 1972 पूरी की थी। यह सबसे पहले अमृत राय द्वारा सम्पादित पत्रिका 'नई कहानियां' में धारावाहिक रूप से प्रकाशित हुई। फिर उनके जीवन काल में ही यह पंजाबी की प्रसिद्ध पत्रिका प्रीतलड़ी में भी यह धारावाहिक ढंग से छपी। 1974 में जब यह किताब की शक्ल में आई तो फिल्म प्रेमियों और सामान्य पाठकों ने इसे हाथों हाथ लिया।) Narrator, Producer and Cover Designer : Irfan --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sm-irfan/message

"एक बात और, फिल्मलाइन में सभी एक दूसरे का बुरा सोचते हैं। ऊपर से तो वे बेहद प्यार मोहब्बत से पेश आते हैं, पर मन में दूसरे की पूरी और हमेशा के लिए तबाही की कामना करते हैं। जो व्यक्ति उनकी नजर से दूर हो जाए, वे समझते हैं कि वह खत्म हो गया। इससे उन्हें खुशी और तसल्ली मिलती है। फिल्मों में सफल होने की एक शर्त यह भी है कि दोस्तों-साथियों को यह खुशी और तसल्ली प्राप्त ना होने दी जाए।" ~ बलराज साहनी, मेरी फ़िल्मी आत्मकथा (प्रसिद्ध अभिनेता और लेखक बलराज साहनी ने अपनी किताब 'मेरी फ़िल्मी आत्मकथा' अपनी मृत्यु से एक साल पहले यानी 1972 पूरी की थी। यह सबसे पहले अमृत राय द्वारा सम्पादित पत्रिका 'नई कहानियां' में धारावाहिक रूप से प्रकाशित हुई। फिर उनके जीवन काल में ही यह पंजाबी की प्रसिद्ध पत्रिका प्रीतलड़ी में भी यह धारावाहिक ढंग से छपी। 1974 में जब यह किताब की शक्ल में आई तो फिल्म प्रेमियों और सामान्य पाठकों ने इसे हाथों हाथ लिया।) Narrator, Producer and Cover Designer : Irfan --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sm-irfan/message

"श्याम (a renowned actor and Manto's close friend) ने भी मेरे पड़ोस में अपना बंगला बनवाया था। एक दिन खबर मिली कि आउटडोर शूटिंग करते हुए वे घोड़े से गिरकर मर गए हैं। सुनकर बहुत दुख हुआ।  श्याम जी रावलपिंडी के थे और हमारे परिवारों का आपस में बहुत प्यार था। वह मेरी बहुत इज्जत करते थे। मातमपुर्सी के लिए मैं घर से पैदल चल पड़ा। क्योंकि मेरी मोटरसाइकिल का ड्राइवर नहीं आया था। यह भी अपने आप में एक दिलचस्प किस्सा है। मोटर के लिए ड्राइवर रखना आम बात है। पर मोटरसाइकिल के लिए ड्राइवर रखने वाला मैं इतिहास में शायद पहला आदमी था। मैं अपने तजुर्बे से बहुत जल्दी सीख गया था कि किसी फिल्म स्टूडियो के फाटक में पैदल दाखिल होना अपमान की बात है। दरबानों और पहरेदारों को पैदल आनेवाले लोगों से बुरा सुलूक करने में बहुत मजा आता है। हास्य अभिनेता दीक्षित अपने बीते अपमानों की याद में स्टूडियो में दाखिल होते समय अपनी मोटर से उतरकर दरबान को प्रणाम किया करते थे। एक दिन मेरे मित्र मामा फसालकर मुझको बताया कि वी शांताराम के छोटे भाई अवधूत के पास एक बिल्कुल नई पांच हॉर्सपावर ए जे एस मोटरसाइकिल है जिसे वे बेचना चाहते हैं । मैंने किसी ना किसी तरह पैसा बटोरकर उसे खरीद लिया। पर उस शैतान के चरखे को चलाएं कौन ? उसे तो देखकर ही मुझे डर लगता था, चलाने की तो बात ही अलग थी। मामा फसालकर को चलानी आती थी और चलाने का शौक भी था। उन दिनों वे थे भी बेकार। एक फिल्म में ख्वाजा अहमद अब्बास के सहायक बनकर वे लाहौर गए थे और वापस आने पर उन्हें कोई काम नहीं मिला था। सो मैंने उन्हें मोटरसाइकिल की ड्राइवरी का काम दे दिया। वह चलाते, मैं पीछे बैठता। बदले में वह मेरे यहां खाते और सो रहते।" ~ बलराज साहनी, मेरी फिल्मी आत्मकथा (प्रसिद्ध अभिनेता और लेखक बलराज साहनी ने अपनी किताब 'मेरी फ़िल्मी आत्मकथा' अपनी मृत्यु से एक साल पहले यानी 1972 पूरी की थी। यह सबसे पहले अमृत राय द्वारा सम्पादित पत्रिका 'नई कहानियां' में धारावाहिक रूप से प्रकाशित हुई। फिर उनके जीवन काल में ही यह पंजाबी की प्रसिद्ध पत्रिका प्रीतलड़ी में भी यह धारावाहिक ढंग से छपी। 1974 में जब यह किताब की शक्ल में आई तो फिल्म प्रेमियों और सामान्य पाठकों ने इसे हाथों हाथ लिया।) Narrator, Producer and Cover Designer : Irfan --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sm-irfan/message

"मेरी सेहत बहुत गिरी हुई थी।  डॉक्टर ने मुझे कश्मीर जाने की सलाह दी।  वहां भी हालात बहुत हंगामी थे लेकिन सांप्रदायिकता का कहीं नामोनिशान तक न था। महाराज हरि सिंह का दमनचक्र जोरों से चल रहा था।  शेख अब्दुल्ला, सादिक, डीपी धर और कई अन्य नेता जेल में थे। जिनके कारण जनता में बहुत बेचैनी थी। कई राजनीतिक कर्मचारी रूपोश होकर बगावत फैला रहे थे और इस नेक काम में पुलिस तक उनकी मददगार थी। एक खुफिया अड्डे पर मेरी मुलाकात कश्मीर के महान मजदूर कवि अब्दुससितार 'आसी' से हुई।  रोजी कमाने के लिए वे एक आढ़ती की दुकान पर बोरियां ढोया करते थे। यह भी मेरी एक अमिट  याद है. मैं मुंबई से आया था जहां कम्युनिस्ट पार्टी का केंद्र था। इसीलिए श्रीनगर के कॉमरेड मुझे जरूरत से ज्यादा महत्व दे रहे थे। मैं भी अपनी शान बनाने की कोशिश करता। हालांकि मेरी राजनीतिक सूझबूझ उनके मुकाबले में कम थी। घर के वातावरण और गवर्नमेंट कॉलेज लाहौर की शिक्षा दोनों ने मुझे अंतर्मुखी बना दिया था। बड़ी से बड़ी घटनाओं की ओर से भी आंखें मूंदे रखना मेरी आदत बनी हुई थी। अपने इस रोग का इलाज मैं मार्क्सवादी ज्ञान की सहायता से भी न कर सका। कठिनाइयों में मेरी सोच की शक्ति डांवाडोल हो जाती है। मेरी ज़हनियत उस बंदर जैसी है जो आग से छेड़खानी करने से बाज नहीं आता और हाथ जलने पर भाग भी उठता है। काफी हद तक यही कमजोरी मेरे समकालीन साहित्यकारों और कलाकारों की भी कही जा सकती है। सन 1947 की मौत की आंधी हमारे सिर ऊपर से होकर गुजर गई लेकिन उसके आधार पर हम न कोई बढ़िया फिल्म बना सके और न ही उस भावुकता से ऊपर उठकर साहित्य में उसका अमिट चित्रण ही कर पाए।" ~ बलराज साहनी, मेरी फिल्मी आत्मकथा (प्रसिद्ध अभिनेता और लेखक बलराज साहनी ने अपनी किताब 'मेरी फ़िल्मी आत्मकथा' अपनी मृत्यु से एक साल पहले यानी 1972 पूरी की थी। यह सबसे पहले अमृत राय द्वारा सम्पादित पत्रिका 'नई कहानियां' में धारावाहिक रूप से प्रकाशित हुई। फिर उनके जीवन काल में ही यह पंजाबी की प्रसिद्ध पत्रिका प्रीतलड़ी में भी यह धारावाहिक ढंग से छपी। 1974 में जब यह किताब की शक्ल में आई तो फिल्म प्रेमियों और सामान्य पाठकों ने इसे हाथों हाथ लिया।) Narrator, Producer and Cover Designer : Irfan --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sm-irfan/message

"अमीर घरों के लोग भी हमारे साथ दोस्ती करने के लिए बेचैन रहते थे। फिल्म स्टार के साथ उठने बैठने से उनकी इज्जत बढ़ती थी। जब हम उनकी घटिया पार्टियों से उकताकर पीछा छुड़ाते तो वह इप्टा या कम्युनिस्ट पार्टी को चंदा देकर हमें ललचाते। अभिनेता और खासकर अभिनेत्री बुर्जुआ समाज के लिए एक खिलौना हैं। बिल्कुल इस तथ्य का हमें बिल्कुल ज्ञान नहीं था। अभिनेत्री को दिए जाने वाले सम्मान में बहुत सा तिरस्कार का भी अंश होता है, यह भी मुझे नहीं पता था। एक दिन जब अखबार में पढ़ा कि रेस में दौड़ने वाली घोड़ियों के नाम बेगमपारा, नरगिस, दमयंती आदि रखे गए हैं तो मुझे बहुत गुस्सा आया। मेरा कर्तव्य था कि उस समय अपनी पत्नी की ढाल बनता। उसके कलात्मक जीवन की कद्र करता, रक्षा करता। उसे फिजूल के झमेलों से बचाता और पारिवारिक जीवन की जिम्मेदारियां अपने ऊपर ले लेता। पर मैं अपनी संकीर्णता के कारण मन ही मन में दम्मो (मेरी पत्नी दमयंती) की प्रसिद्धि और सफलता से ईर्ष्या करने लगा था। वह स्टूडियो से थकी हारी हुई आती तो मैं उससे ऐसा सुलूक करता जैसे वह कोई गलती करके आई हो। मैं चाहता कि वह आते ही घर के कामकाज में लग जाए, जो कि मेरी नजर में उसका असली काम था। अपने बड़प्पन का दिखावा करने के लिए मैं इप्टा और कम्युनिस्ट पार्टी के अनावश्यक काम भी करने लग जाता। मैं मर्द था। जिन संस्कारों में पला था उनके अनुसार मर्द हर हालत में ऊंचा था। और जिन संस्कारों में दम्मो पली थी उनके अनुसार पतिपरायणता उसका पहला कर्तव्य था। बेचारी बिना किसी शिकायत के वह सारा भार उठती गई, जिसे उठाने का उसमें सामर्थ्य नहीं था। इन बातों को याद करके मेरे दिल में टीस उठती है। दम्मो एक अमूल्य हीरा था, जो उसके माता-पिता ने एक ऐसे व्यक्ति को सौंप दिया था, जिसके दिल में न उसकी कद्र थी न ही कोई कृतज्ञता का भाव था। हमारे इर्द-गिर्द एक तूफान सा मचा रहता था।" ~ बलराज साहनी, मेरी फिल्मी आत्मकथा (प्रसिद्ध अभिनेता और लेखक बलराज साहनी ने अपनी किताब 'मेरी फ़िल्मी आत्मकथा' अपनी मृत्यु से एक साल पहले यानी 1972 पूरी की थी। यह सबसे पहले अमृत राय द्वारा सम्पादित पत्रिका 'नई कहानियां' में धारावाहिक रूप से प्रकाशित हुई। फिर उनके जीवन काल में ही यह पंजाबी की प्रसिद्ध पत्रिका प्रीतलड़ी में भी यह धारावाहिक ढंग से छपी। 1974 में जब यह किताब की शक्ल में आई तो फिल्म प्रेमियों और सामान्य पाठकों ने इसे हाथों हाथ लिया।) Narrator, Producer and Cover Designer : Irfan --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sm-irfan/message

"उस दौर में कृश्न चन्दर ने भी एक फिल्म बनाई अपने नाटक 'सराय के बाहर' के आधार पर। खुद ही उसका निर्देशन भी किया। प्रसिद्ध प्रगतिशील कवि हरिंद्रनाथ चट्टोपाध्याय के एक उपासक ने 'आजादी' नामक एक आदर्शवादी फिल्म बनाने के लिए अपनी सारी पूंजी उनके कदमों में ला कर रख दी। उपर्युक्त उदाहरण से अच्छा सबूत क्या हो सकता है कि फिल्मी इतिहास के उस मोड़ पर हमारे बुद्धिजीवी वर्ग को उच्च स्तर की फिल्में बनाने के लिए सहूलतों की कमी नहीं थी, बल्कि सहूलतें खुद उनके कदमों में आ रही थीं। अगर उनका फायदा उठाने की योग्यता उनमें होती तो आज हिंदी फिल्मों का स्तर कुछ और ही होता। पर उस वर्ग ने न फिल्म के माध्यम की विशेष आवश्यकताओं को समझने की कोशिश की और ना ही अपने व्यक्तिगत जीवन को किसी सीमा में रखा। उनकी बनाई हर फिल्म ने जनता की आशाओं पर पानी फेर दिया। सिर्फ यही नहीं, वे लोग अपनी गलत हरकतों के कारण उतने ही बदनाम हुए, जितना कि वे अपनी कहानियों में फिल्मी सेठों को करते थे। आज जब भी मैं अपने बुद्धिजीवी मित्रों को जनता के घटिया स्तर और निर्माताओं की जाहिलाना किस्म की मांगों को दोष देते हुए पाता हूं, तो मेरा मन रोष से भर जाता है, क्योंकि मैंने अच्छे से अच्छे अवसरों को बर्बाद होते अपनी आंखों से देखा है।" ~ बलराज साहनी (मेरी फ़िल्मी आत्मकथा) Narrator, Producer and Cover Designer : Irfan --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sm-irfan/message

"पर हम इतनी ज्यादा आत्मग्लानि के शिकार भी नहीं थे। गांधीजी के प्रति हमारी श्रद्धा इतनी गहरी थी कि उसका उल्लेख नहीं किया जा सकता। ख़ासकर दम्मो को तो बापू, कस्तूरबा, आशादी और आर्यन दा से बेहद प्यार मिला था। पर गांधीवाद पर से हमारा विश्वास काफी हद तक उठ गया था।  यह ठीक है कि हम अपने देश की आजादी के लिए लड़े नहीं थे, जेलों में नहीं गए थे, पर अनगिनत रातें हमने बमों की बारिश के नीचे गुजारी थीं। हमने मौत के भयानक वातावरण में दिन बिताए थे। हमने चार साल उस यूरोप में गुजारे थे जहां लाखों करोड़ों लोग युद्ध के शिकार हुए थे, और जहां नाजियों ने निर्दोष यहूदियों की चमड़ियों के लैम्पों के सेट बनाकर पैशाचिकता का नया रिकॉर्ड कायम किया था।  हमें विश्वास हो गया था कि वर्तमान युग की क्रांतिकारी विचारधारा गांधीवाद के बजाय मार्क्सवाद है। सिर्फ मार्क्सवाद। और यह विश्वास आज तक मजबूत ही होता आया है।  कला और साहित्य में यथार्थवाद की शिक्षा मुझे कॉलेज में अंग्रेजी साहित्य के अध्ययन से मिली थी। मैंने उनके इतिहास का अध्ययन करते हुए यह बात जानी थी कि यूरोप में यथार्थवाद से पहले के युग की कला में लंबाई चौड़ाई तो होती थी, पर गहराई नहीं होती थी, जो कला का तीसरा आयाम है। रेनेसां कला में तीसरा आयाम लाया था।  यथार्थवाद की विशेषता है कि वह कला में तीसरा आयाम लाता है। मैंने अपने स्टेज और फिल्म के अभिनय में यही तीसरा आयाम लाने का प्रयास किया है। कलाकार के लिए यह सबसे मुश्किल रास्ता है, और इसी में सृजन का असली आनंद अनुभव किया जा सकता है।  कलाकार किसी पात्र का रोल करते हुए उसे कुछ इस तरह सजीव ढंग से दर्शकों के सामने पेश करना चाहता है, कि वह पात्र सपाट लगने के बजाय, हर कदम पर गहरा और नया बनता हुआ प्रतीत हो। ~ बलराज साहनी, मेरी फ़िल्मी आत्मकथा Recorded, Produced and Curated by Irfan Cover Art: Irfan --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sm-irfan/message

"अचानक एक दिन शूटिंग का बुलावा आ गया।  जीवन में मेरी पहली शूटिंग।  शाम के सात बजे का कारदार स्टूडियो पहुंचना था। IPTA की एक मीटिंग बीच में ही छोड़कर मैंने ठीक समय पर चर्नी रोड स्टेशन से गाड़ी पकड़ी। शूटिंग शब्द सुनकर दोस्तों-साथियों पर ऐसी प्रतिक्रिया हुई जैसे बिजली के तार को हाथ लग जाए। मैं एक क्षण में उनके लिए प्यार के बजाय ईर्ष्या का पात्र बन गया। और उस दिन से लेकर आज तक मैंने अपने इर्द-गिर्द घर में भी और घर के बाहर भी हमेशा यही प्रतिक्रिया देखी है। हर किसी की नजर में शूटिंग एक बड़ी अलौकिक चीज है। वह आदमी को दूसरे लोगों से अलग और ऊंचा बना देती है। शूटिंग कर रहे कलाकार का सिंहासन अटल लगता है, और जो न कर रहा हो, उसका डगमगाता हुआ। अगर कोई यूं ही पूछ बैठे 'आज आपकी शूटिंग नहीं है?' तो बड़े से बड़ा अभिनेता भी घबरा जाता है, जैसे उससे कोई कुसूर हो गया हो। इसका कारण यह है कि इस सवाल की कहीं दूर, एक खतरे की घंटी बँधी हुई है जिसकी आवाज फिल्म स्टार के कानों को अच्छी नहीं लगती।" ~ बलराज साहनी, मेरी फ़िल्मी आत्मकथा Cover Art: Irfan --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sm-irfan/message

"अब मुझे कॉन्ट्रैक्ट मिल गया था और मैं दावे के साथ अपने आप को फिल्म-अभिनेता कह सकता था। आज कॉन्ट्रैक्ट हुआ है, कल काम शुरू हो जाएगा ऐसा मेरा अनुमान था। पर दिन पर दिन बीतने लगे। न काम के, न ही पैसे के आसार नजर आए। पर शूटिंग का खयाल मेरे मन पर पूरी तरह छा गया था। नाई से बाल कटवाने के लिए भी मैं  प्रोड्यूसर के दफ्तर जाकर ही इजाजत मांगता, क्योंकि किसी से सुन लिया था कि थोड़ा बहुत फर्क पड़ जाने से 'कांटिन्यूटी' में 'जम्प' आ जाता है। कांटिन्यूटी क्या बला थी, और जंप क्या, मुझे पता नहीं था। पर मैं ऐसा कोई कदम नहीं उठाना चाहता था, जिससे कला को नुकसान पहुंचे। क्या पता किस दिन अचानक शूटिंग निकल आए। ऐसी हास्यास्पद हरकतें फिल्मों के नए रंगरूट आमतौर पर करते हैं। वे साबुन से मलमल कर मुंह धोते हैं, क्रीमें थोपते हैं। आईने के सामने तरह तरह के पोज़ बनाते हैं। उन्हें यह पता नहीं होता कि अभिनय कला का ज्यादा संबंध चिंतन के साथ है। बाहरी चीजें इतना महत्व नहीं रखतीं।" ~ बलराज साहनी, अभिनेता (मेरी फ़िल्मी आत्मकथा) Cover Art: Irfan --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sm-irfan/message

"पर मेरी सभी आशाएं ख़ाक में मिल गयीं। ऐसा लगा जैसे किसी ने पहाड़ की चोटी से मुझे नीचे पटक दिया हो। कला की सब क़दरों और क़ीमतों पर जैसे छुरी फेर दी गयी हो। संस्कृत का मुझे बचपन से शौक़ रहा था और अभिज्ञानशाकुंतलम को मैं कोमल अनुभूतियों का ख़ज़ाना मानता हूँ। शांताराम जैसा निर्देशक उसे इतना खुरदुरा और भद्दा बनाकर पेश करेगा, दिल मानने को तैयार नहीं होता था। कहीं यह कोई दूसरा शांताराम तो नहीं है ? मेरी आत्मा व्याकुल हो उठी। गरमी और गंदगी के मारे मैं पहले से परेशान था, अब तो सारी भूख और प्यास भी जाती रही।" ~बलराज साहनी ('मेरी फ़िल्मी आत्मकथा') (बलराज साहनी की किताब 'मेरी फ़िल्मी आत्मकथा' सबसे पहले अमृत राय द्वारा सम्पादित पत्रिका 'नई कहानियां' में धारावाहिक रूप से प्रकाशित हुई। बलराज जी के जीवन काल में ही यह पंजाबी की प्रसिद्ध पत्रिका प्रीतलड़ी में भी यह धारावाहिक ढंग से छपी। 1974 में जब यह किताब की शक्ल में आई तो फिल्म प्रेमियों और सामान्य पाठकों ने इसे हाथों हाथ लिया।) --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sm-irfan/message

कॉलेज का दौर खत्म हुआ। जीवन के क्षेत्र में उतरने का समय आया। जीवन के अखाड़े में उतरते ही ऐसी चोटें पड़ीं कि कुछ मत पूछिए। नाक से खून बहने लगा, मुंह माथा सूज गया, बांह रूमाल में टांगनी पड़ी। कवि ने बड़े सुंदर शब्दों में चित्र खींचा है- 'इकबाल' मेरे इश्क ने सब बल दिए निकाल मुद्दत से आरजू थी सीधा करे कोई। (बलराज साहनी की किताब 'मेरी फ़िल्मी आत्मकथा' सबसे पहले अमृत राय द्वारा सम्पादित पत्रिका 'नई कहानियां' में धारावाहिक रूप से प्रकाशित हुई। बलराज जी के जीवन काल में ही यह पंजाबी की प्रसिद्ध पत्रिका प्रीतलड़ी में भी यह धारावाहिक ढंग से छपी। 1974 में जब यह किताब की शक्ल में आई तो फिल्म प्रेमियों और सामान्य पाठकों ने इसे हाथो हाथ लिया।) Cover Art: Irfan --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sm-irfan/message

अपने बचपन में फिल्मों के शुरुआती एनकाउंटर्स और युवावस्था में उनके मोहपाश से गुज़रते हुए अपनी आत्मकथा के इस दूसरे अध्याय में बलराज साहनी कहते है - जो विद्वान फिल्मों का नाम सुनते ही उपेक्षा से नाक भौं सिकोड़ लेते हैं, उन्हें सिनेमा के व्यापक स्तर पर होनेवाले व्यापक प्रभावों पर संजीदगी से गौर करना चाहिए। (बलराज साहनी की किताब 'मेरी फ़िल्मी आत्मकथा' सबसे पहले अमृत राय द्वारा सम्पादित पत्रिका 'नई कहानियां' में धारावाहिक रूप से प्रकाशित हुई। बलराज जी के जीवन काल में ही यह पंजाबी की प्रसिद्ध पत्रिका प्रीतलड़ी में भी यह धारावाहिक ढंग से छपी। 1974 में जब यह किताब की शक्ल में आई तो फिल्म प्रेमियों और सामान्य पाठकों ने इसे हाथो हाथ लिया।) Cover Art: Irfan --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sm-irfan/message

Maqbool Fida Husain / M. F. Husain's autobiography converted into 5 hours unique audio book. Syed Mohd Irfan aka Irfan a well-known Delhi based Broadcast Journalist. Founder-Producer and Anchor Guftagoo made it possible. A pioneering work came out first time in Indian Sub-continent in 2003. “किसी ने कहा- ‘अपनी कहानी लिखो’। पूछा ‘क्यों?’ कहा ‘तुम पर फ़िल्म बनाई जाए।’ ‘फ़िल्म! ज़रा मेरा हुलिया तो देखिये! क्या कामेडी बनाने का इरादा है?’ ‘हां, ऐसी कामेडी कि आप हंसते-हंसते रॊ पडॆं।’ पिछली सदी के आखिरी दहेके में बस यूं ही कागज़ के एक टुकडे पर लिखना शुरू कर दिया- ‘दादा की उंगली पकडे एक लडका।’ इस पुर्ज़े को पढकर न कोई हंसा न कोई रोया। हां लदन में एक साहबे फ़हम माजिद अली अह्ले सुख़न की नज़र इस पुर्ज़ॆ पर लिखी इबारत पर पडी। एमएफ़ से कहा ‘आप ये फ़िल्म स्क्रिप्ट छोडें और अपनी कहानी को किताब की शक्ल दें तो बॆहतर है।’ इस बात पर हिम्मत बंधी, और कहीं नहीं बैठा बस चलते-फिरते लिखता ही गया। चार-पांच साल के बाद पुर्ज़ों का एक ज़ख़ीम पुलिंदा बग़ल में दबाये प्रेस की तरफ़ छपवाने चला कि अचानक रास्ते में किसी ने पूछा ‘हम आपके हैं कौन?’ तो एमएफ़ की बग़ल से वो पुलिंदा फिसल पडा।’ उसे बीच रास्ता छॊड सात साल तक ग़ायब। हम आपके हैं कौन सवाल पर जवाबन गजगामिनी फ़िल्म बना डाली। लौटे तो वो पुलिंदा उसी रास्ते पर पडा मिला। किताब छप गयी। लॊगों ने हिंदी में पढी, अंगरेज़ी में पढी और अब बंग्ला और गुजराती में पढी जायेगी। लेकिन फिर किसी ने कहा कि कहानी पढने से ज़्यादा सुनने में अच्छी लगती है। याद हैं वो दादी अम्मा-नानी अम्मा की कहानियां! जिन्हें सुनते-सुनते बचपन मीठी नींद सॊ जाया करता। आख़िर में मिलते हैं इरफ़ान साहब, जो मेरी कहानी को ज़बान देते हैं, जिसे आप चलते-फिरते कहीं भी सुन सकते हैं। तो, आइये और सुनिये एमएफ़ हुसेन की कहानी।” Text and Voice M.F.

पागलपन एक व्यापक समाज की एक सामूहिक अवस्थिति है जो अचानक इतिहास और समय के किसी बिंदु पर किसी एक व्यक्ति में केंद्रीभूत और उसके माध्यम से अभिव्यक्त हो जाती है। क्या इसी तर्ज पर हम यह मान सकते हैं कि ग्लानि का बोध या जो काम करने चाहिए थे उन्हें न कर पाने का एहसास भी एक सामूहिक भाव है जो कभी किसी एक जीवित या अजीवित इकाई में व्यक्त हो सकता है। अगर ऐसा है तो गजानन माधव मुक्तिबोध की कविता 'अँधेरे में' इसी ग्लानिबोध की कविता है।  1960 से 1985 तक की कविता पर हिंदी के कवि संपादक मंगलेश डबराल का व्याख्यान। नई दिल्ली, 2012  Produced and Curated by Irfan Cover Image Courtesy: Siraj Saxena Cover Art: Irfan --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sm-irfan/message

Irfan talking to a an avid Radio Listener who has been known for his letters to various programmes. Recorded and Produced by Irfan on 09 August 2022, New Delhi आशुतोष कुमार पांडेय की उम्र आज 31 वर्ष है। जब वे 9 वर्ष के थे तब से उन्हें रेडियो पर ख़ासतौर से बीबीसी सुनने का शौक़ हुआ। यह शौक़ जल्द ही एक निष्क्रिय श्रोता से बदलकर सक्रिय आलोचक, समीक्षक और मीमांसक का हो गया। भारत सहित अनेक वैदेशिक रेडियो कार्यक्रमों को सुनते हुए आशुतोष ने उन्हें अपनी शिक्षा, सजगता और व्यक्तित्व निर्माण में समन्वित रूप से  सहयोगी पाया। फिर वह दिन भी आया जब वे न सिर्फ अपने प्रिय रेडियो प्रस्तोताओं से सीधे संवाद में आ गए बल्कि कार्यक्रमों में फोन के माध्यम से हिस्सेदारी भी करने लगे। बिहार के बक्सर ज़िले के एक गाँव में रहते हुए एक रेडियो श्रोता के रूप में उन्होंने जो  लोकप्रियता पाई उस यात्रा को हमने आशुतोष के साथ विस्तार से टटोला है। सुनिए इक्कीसवीं सदी में अपना प्रभाव लगभग खो चुके भारत के रेडियो कार्यक्रमों ने कैसे एक ग्रामीण युवा का जीवन प्रभावित किया। Photo and Cover Art: Irfan --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sm-irfan/message

Recited and Presented by Irfan देश कागज पर बना नक्शा नहीं होता / सर्वेश्वरदयाल सक्सेना (15 September 1927 - 23 September 1983) यदि तुम्हारे घर के एक कमरे में आग लगी हो तो क्या तुम दूसरे कमरे में सो सकते हो? यदि तुम्हारे घर के एक कमरे में लाशें सड़ रहीं हों तो क्या तुम दूसरे कमरे में प्रार्थना कर सकते हो? यदि हाँ तो मुझे तुम से कुछ नहीं कहना है। देश कागज पर बना नक्शा नहीं होता कि एक हिस्से के फट जाने पर बाकी हिस्से उसी तरह साबुत बने रहें और नदियां, पर्वत, शहर, गांव वैसे ही अपनी-अपनी जगह दिखें अनमने रहें। यदि तुम यह नहीं मानते तो मुझे तुम्हारे साथ नहीं रहना है। इस दुनिया में आदमी की जान से बड़ा कुछ भी नहीं है न ईश्वर न ज्ञान न चुनाव कागज पर लिखी कोई भी इबारत फाड़ी जा सकती है और जमीन की सात परतों के भीतर गाड़ी जा सकती है। जो विवेक खड़ा हो लाशों को टेक वह अंधा है जो शासन चल रहा हो बंदूक की नली से हत्यारों का धंधा है यदि तुम यह नहीं मानते तो मुझे अब एक क्षण भी तुम्हें नहीं सहना है। याद रखो एक बच्चे की हत्या एक औरत की मौत एक आदमी का गोलियों से चिथड़ा तन किसी शासन का ही नहीं सम्पूर्ण राष्ट्र का है पतन। ऐसा खून बहकर धरती में जज्ब नहीं होता आकाश में फहराते झंडों को काला करता है। जिस धरती पर फौजी बूटों के निशान हों और उन पर लाशें गिर रही हों वह धरती यदि तुम्हारे खून में आग बन कर नहीं दौड़ती तो समझ लो तुम बंजर हो गये हो- तुम्हें यहां सांस लेने तक का नहीं है अधिकार तुम्हारे लिए नहीं रहा अब यह संसार। आखिरी बात बिल्कुल साफ किसी हत्यारे को कभी मत करो माफ चाहे हो वह तुम्हारा यार धर्म का ठेकेदार, चाहे लोकतंत्र का स्वनामधन्य पहरेदार। --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sm-irfan/message

Conceived, Devised, Written and Produced by Irfan  Audio Courtesy : Gutterati Productions  घोड़े को जलेबी खिलाने ले जा रिया हूँ अनामिका हक्सर की पहली फीचर लेंथ फिल्म है और जैसा कि अक्सर देखा गया है कि निर्देशक अपनी पहली फिल्म में अपने सारे अरमान पिरो देता है। फिल्म का कोई कथानक नहीं है। कम से कम प्रचलित अर्थों में बिलकुल ही नहीं। यानी अगर आप फिल्म में कोई कहानी ढूँढें जिसका कोई आरम्भ मध्य और अंत हो, तो वह इसमें नहीं है। तो आप पूछेंगे कि फिल्म में क्या है ? फिल्म में पुरानी दिल्ली है, उसकी गलियां हैं, कूड़े के ढेर हैं, नशेड़ी, जेबकतरे, उठाईगीरे, बेघर और आवारा लोग हैं, परित्यक्ता और विधवाएं हैं, क़ब्र में पैर लटकाए बूढ़े, मारी तताडी औरतें, रेहड़ी पटरी पर बसर करने वाले, पल्लेदार ----गोया हर वो शख्स और शै जो एलीटिस्ट आर्ट के दायरे से बाहर है, वो फिल्म के भीतर है। बल्कि इससे भी एक कदम आगे बढ़ कर फिल्म में समेटी गयी इस दुनिया के सपने ---उनके ख्वाब फिल्म की योजना का आधार है। और ज़्यादातार बार ये सपने ये ख्वाब नाइटमेयर्स ही हैं। फिल्म का एक पृथक संसार पुरानी दिल्ली के इतिहास, गौरव उर्फ़ झूठी शान के शामियाने की तरह ताना गया है जिसके नीचे भूखे, उदास और निराश बैंड बाजे वाले एक ऎसी धुन बजा रहे हैं जो ढंग से न अतीत का कोई दस्तावेज़ी सुराग़ छोड़ती है न वर्तमान की कोई टीस पैदा करती है। और यह प्रति संसार एक ढहती हुई सभ्यता की एक दूसरे को काटती हुई छवियों की शक्ल में सामने आता है। फिल्म की शुरुआत कम्युनिस्ट इंटरनेशल की धुन से होती है और हम एनिमेटेड मैनर में एक मज़दूर को एक विशाल विस्तृत लाल झंडा लिए हुए देखते हैं जो ताहद्देनज़र शहर को अपनी आगोश में लिए हुए है या कहिये दृश्य में आनेवाली सभी बस्तियां उस लाल झंडे से आच्छादित हैं, एक लाल नदी गलियों, बाज़ारों, घरों, बस्तियों से निकलती हुई क्षितिज तक चली गयी है। अब आप शायद समझ गए होंगे कि फिल्म एक निश्चित आस्थागत धरातल पर खड़े होकर बनाई गयी है और वो एक ज़रूरी धरातल है जिसे खाद पानी मिलता है एम्पैथी से। फिल्म में एकाधिक बार एक शब्द सुनाई पड़ता है - सबऑलटर्न। और यह सबऑलटर्न कथाकथन लौट लौटकर मज़दूरों की मांसल श्रम गतिविधियों और छीन ली गयी मानवीय गरिमा को छवियों, प्रतीकों और ध्वनियों के माध्यम से सामने आता है। पुरानी दिल्ली के जीवन का अभिन्न अंग होने के नाते ये बहुत स्वाभाविक था कि जामा मस्जिद, कुश्ती के अखाड़े , उनका सिग्नेचर साउंड, गलियों की आवाज़ें, खान पान, बोली भाषा, दरगाहें, कव्वालियां, पतंगबाजी, शादी ब्याह और बैंड बाजे, शेरो शायरी और दैनंदिन जीवन का नाटकीय व्यवहार फिल्म में आता, जो कि आया भी। चूँकि फिल्म घटनात्मकता से कोसों दूर है इसलिए विजुअल ग्राफिक्स, एनीमेशन और स्पेशल इफेक्ट्स के ज़रिये चौंकाने, एकरसता तोड़ने और दृश्य को मल्टीलेयर्ड बनाने की कोशिश की गयी है। ये सिनेमाई प्राविधि इसलिए भी ज़रूरी थी कि हाशिये पर फ़ेंक दिए गए लोगों के सपनों की अक्कासी की जा सके। फिल्म में एक मजदूर नेता भी निरंतर अपनी उपस्थिति बनाए रखता है और आखिर में एक भाषण भी देता है जिसका आशय शोषण की चली आ रही व्यवस्था को बता सकना है। चूँकि यह फिल्म फंसे, उलझे, बेबस और निराश हो चुके संसार को नजदीक से देखना और दिखाना चाहती है इसलिए सिनेमैटोग्राफी और साउंड के अलावा एडिटिंग और पोस्ट प्रोडक्शन पर भारी ज़िम्मेदारी आनी थी जो इन सभी विभागों ने बखूबी निभाई है। मेरी दिलचस्पी फिल्म के अंत को लेकर थी जो बहुत प्रेडिक्टेबल ढंग से उन बच्चों के संगीत से ही हुई जो यूट्यूब पर मौजूद FOLI की याद दिलाता है और जो फिल्मकार की आशावादी सदिच्छा भर है। अभिनेताओं ने बहुत मेहनत से अपनी भूमिकाएं निभाईं। फिल्म में रघुवीर यादव भी हैं जो इसलिए ज़रूरी थे कि पुरानी दिल्ली के फेरीवालों की बहुचर्चित स्टाइल को अपनी गायकी में पेश कर सकें। खुद रघुवीर यादव को ऐसा लगता है कि फिल्म के बीच बीच में उनका छिड़काव सा कर दिया गया है।  (contd) Featuring Lokesh Jain, Ravindra Sahu, Raghubir Yadav, Arun Kumar Kalra, A K Gopalakrishnan Directed and Produced by Anamika Haksar Production designer Archana Shastri Editor Paresh Kamdar DOP Somo Sahi Music Tyrax Sound Gautam Nair Cover Art: Film's Official Poster --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sm-irfan/message

Chapter 16 of 54 from the audio book SUNO MF HUSAIN KI KAHANI produced by Irfan in 2003 featuring in this episode Munish Sharma and Banwari Taneja  A JOURNEY IN SOUND  Icon and Iconoclast. Legend and Maverick. A man who (at age 88) is driven by a seemingly constant charge of inexhaustible energy. And a mind which is constantly at work reinventing itself, always seeking avenues to express itself in novel ways without ever being trapped by the glitter of ephemeral fame and fortune. Husain is a remarkable painter and more importantly an incredible human being. When such a man sets on a quest he achieves the seemingly impossible with remarkable ease. An incurable romantic without being maudlin, Husain a few years back after living an eternity in excellence chose to write his memoirs. The text was written on myriad paper surfaces and then at some point put together by well-wishers. Vivid and visual in its essence the text has been regarded as a literary gem pushing the frontiers of Hindustani literature. The autobiography chose to liberate itself from set norms and conventions of the form. Instead in his hand the pen served as a brush. And lines and the figures that emerged had the same superlative quality as his art. Broad, vivid and minimal. Conversational, nostalgic and humane. Hussain’s memoir is an exquisite tale of an indomitable spirit fighting heavy odds to triumph. Episodic and high on empathy, Irfan found the work eminently suitable for a radio interpretation. Irfan, a radio professional and writer himself, understood the basic kernel of Husain’s way of story telling. That of the ancient Indian tradition of Qissagoi. The media whose presiding deity for time eternity have been the grandmothers within a family and its recipients dozens of eager ears tuned to numerous twists and turns of a multilayered tale. He also saw a unique opportunity to present to his world a form, a work hitherto unknown to the Hindustani speaking populous of India. The Audio Book. Intimately known to the Bengali and Malayalam listeners, the form is a powerful, intimate and energetic medium to tell a story. A form which supplements and complements the written word. A medium which is not bound by a particular script and can address people who can understand a language if not read it.

Recorded and Produced by Irfan 2014 Delhi NCR बचपन से ही मेरा ध्वनि संसार जिन चीजों से निर्मित हुआ उनमें ये भजन कीर्तन भी हैं। आज भी जहां रहता हूँ उस घर के पड़ोस में अक्सर महिलाएं जुटकर दो चार घंटों के लिए माहौल गुलज़ार कर देती हैं। अलग अलग उम्रों की औरतें, बालियां बिना किसी खुशफहमी के कि वो गायिकाएं हैं, बिंदास ढंग से गाती हैं, जोश कुछ बढ़ जाए तो खांसी और खखारने की आवाज़ें भी इस संगीत संध्या का अंग बन जाती हैं। जिस दिन भी घर के बाहर बीस बाइस छोटी बड़ी रंग बिरंगी चप्पलें उतरी हुई देखता हूँ अपने रोविंग माइक्रोफोन की बत्तियां चमका कर तैयार हो जाता हूँ। महिलाओं के एकरस और कठिन परिश्रम से भरे जीवन में ऐसे मौके आपसदारी को ज़िंदा रखने और हँसी ठिठोली के बाद अगले जीवन संघर्ष में रम जाने के बहाने हैं। चाहिए क्या बस एक दो ढोलक, मजीरे और काम चलाऊ सुरीली या कभी बेसुरी उत्साही साथिनें। गाये जाने वाले शब्द कहाँ कहाँ से जन्मे और बदलते बिगड़ते उनमें फिल्मों, कव्वालियों, नातों और लोकस्मृतियों के रंग घुले, उन्हें क्या करना इससे। यह काम तो विश्वविद्यालयों के मनहूस शोधाचार्य और नौकरीआतुर शोधार्थी करेंगे। बहरहाल आइये और मेरे साथ सुनिए मेरे पड़ोस की ऐसी ही एक रिकॉर्डिंग जो 2014 की है। Cover image (for representation only) courtesy: YogaJournal Cover art: Irfan --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sm-irfan/message

बलात्कारी वीर  कहानी  असग़र वजाहत  दुकानें और मकान ताश के पत्तों की तरह गिर और जल रहे थे। आकाश काला और जमीन लाल हो गई थी ।  दंगाई तरह तरह के हथियार लिए, नारे लगाते घरों के दरवाजे तोड़ रहे थे।  इतनी आवाजें थी कि कोई आवाज सुनाई न देती थी। लूटमार करने से ज़्यादा दंगाई हत्या करने का पूरा मज़ा ले रहे थे ।  जब उन्हें कोई लड़की या औरत मिल जाती थी तब उनका उत्साह बढ़ जाता था। उनका शौर्य और उनका उत्साह आकाश छूने लगता था ।  एक घर से उन्हें एक सुंदर लड़की मिल गई । लड़की को दंगाइयों ने पकड़ लिया।  वह चीख़ने चिल्लाने लगी पर किसी ने उसकी कोई बात न सुनी उसे घसीट कर बाहर निकाला गया।  दंगाइयों ने उसके कपड़े फाड़ डाले। उसके साथ मारपीट की । फिर सबके सामने उसे नंगा कर दिया।  दंगाई उसके साथ बलात्कार करने लगे। भीड़ तमाशा देख कर खुश होने लगी और गंदी - गंदी गालियां फूलों की तरह बरसने लगीं।  गालियों की आवाज़ में लड़की का रोना और चीखना दब गया था । लड़की बहुत सुंदर और जवान थी इसलिए उसके साथ बलात्कार करने वालों की एक लाइन लग गई थी।  लाइन में लोग धक्का-मुक्की कर रहे थे। दूर खड़े एक आदमी ने अपना डंडा हिलाते हुए कहा, इच्छा तो मेरी भी बहुत है।  पर क्या करूं मेरी वर्दी आड़े आ रही है। किसी ने कहा, तुम वर्दी पहन कर तो बलात्कार करोगे नहीं ?  अरे वर्दी उतार दो। बलात्कार करने के बाद पहन लेना । यह कौन सी बड़ी बात है।  वर्दीधारी ने जल्दी-जल्दी वर्दी उतारी और वह लाइन में सबसे आगे आकर खड़ा हो गया।  किसी की हिम्मत नहीं थी कि उसे टोक या रोक सकता। इस वर्दीधारी ने तो सबके लिए रास्ता खोल दिया।  एक गोल - मटोल से आदमी ने, जो एक पार्टी के रंग की टोपी लगाए खड़ा था, अपनी टोपी झट से उतारी।  जेब में रख ली और लाइन में आकर खड़ा हो गया। एक सूट धारी अपने टाई खोलने लगा।  बलात्कार करने के बाद जो वीर खड़ा होता था उसे फूलों की माला पहनाई जाती थी और उसे एक प्रशस्ति पत्र भेंट किया जाता था ।  उसके सम्मान में संगीत भी बजाया जाता था। लड़की बेहोश हो चुकी थी वह अगर मर भी गई होती तो उससे बलात्कारियों के ऊपर कोई फर्क न पड़ता ।  यह सब हो ही रहा था कि अचानक एक युवक आया और उसने कहा - यह लड़की मेरी पत्नी है।  दंगाई उसकी तरफ झपटे। उसने जल्दी से अपना धर्म बताया, जो वही था जो दंगाइयों का था। यह सुनकर दंगाई बहुत घबरा गए।  लेकिन लड़की के पति ने उन्हें दिलासा देते हुए कहा- चूंकि आप लोगों ने मेरी पत्नी के साथ यह समझ कर बलात्कार किया है कि  वह दूसरे धर्म की है इसलिए मैं आप लोगों को माफ़ करता हूँ।  यह सुनकर बलात्कारी बहुत प्रसन्न हो गए और युवक की जय जयकार होने लगी। फूलों की सबसे मोटी माला  युवक के गले में डाली गई और युवक को बलात्कारी वीर की उपाधि दी गयी।  साभार: फेसबुक असग़र वजाहत   Cover Art: Irfan's Theatre Archives --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sm-irfan/message

Recorded on April 4, 2022, Via Clubhouse app and Zoom H6 Irfan and Pramod Singh in conversation with Hamama tul Bushra Hamama tul Bushra Trained as a graphic designer in Pakistan, Bushra earned her Master’s degree in Art History from the University of Missouri, Kansas City in the United States. While pursuing her doctorate, Bushra realized she could not ignore her passion for art and returned to painting. Today, in addition to her commercial work, Bushra practices a unique style of figurative painting defined by stylized forms carefully preserving and highlighting the soul and personality of each subject. Bushra’s Modiglianesque female forms are enhanced by their peculiar personality and characteristics, which are questionable in society. For instance, the way her female sits, the blatant way in which she stares at the viewer, and the ease of self-confidence is reflected in her body language. These are uncomfortable and forbidden features that are still unacceptable in our society. Bushra picks her subject directly from her surroundings but shows what is hidden and forbidden beneath these characters. She celebrates the binary tension of society by painting in simple forms, filling them with bright colors. This embodies the real essence of life which is simple and colorful.

Recorded in New Delhi on 21 June 2016 Irfan talking to the playwright, actor and theatre director Suman Kumar on actor's preparations and h/is/er responsibilities. एक्टिंग एक क्राफ्ट है ? या इसे आर्ट कहना चाहिए ? एक एक्टर को किन किन ढंके-छुपे सवालों से जूझना चाहिए और एक्टिंग थियरीज़ के सभी आम और ख़ास पहलू किन ज़रूरी बिंदुओं की तरफ इशारा करते हैं ? और एक्टर को अपने विकास के लिए किन बातों से नज़रें नहीं चुराना चाहिए? ... यही सब बातें हैं जो मैंने खुद एक कुशल रंगकर्मी  सुमन कुमार से की हैं। सुमन कुमार 1993 में दिल्ली के राष्ट्रीय नाट्य विद्यालय आ गए थे जहां से उन्होंने नवाज़ुद्दीन सिद्दीकी, स्वानंद किरकिरे, सुब्रत दत्ता और गीतांजलि कुलकर्णी के साथ रंगकर्म की शिक्षा ली है।  1996 में सुमन कुमार डेनमार्क गए जहां हैंस एंडरसन की कहानियों पर आधारित नाटकों की प्रस्तुतियां कीं। सुमन कुमार ने 1998 के साल में लंदन के माउंट व्यू थियेटर स्कूल से थियेटर डिजाइन का कोर्स किया फिर दिल्ली लौटने के बाद नेशनल स्कूल ऑफ ड्रामा के एक्सचेंज प्रोग्राम के तहत यहां पढ़ाते रहे और विविध रंग गतिविधियों के केंद्र में रहे। आजकल वो संगीत नाटक अकादमी और कत्थक केंद्र दिल्ली में महत्वपूर्ण पदों पर हैं और कलाकर्म के विविध पक्षों पर न सिर्फ विचार मंथन में संलग्न हैं बल्कि कला गतिविधियों के विस्तार को अमली जामा पहनाने में भी अग्रणी भूमिका निभा रहे हैं। Photo and Cover Art: Irfan --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sm-irfan/message

After seventeen years of teaching Economics at Lady Shri Ram College, University of Delhi and a year of working with  the National Commission for Enterprises in the Unorganised Sector (the Arjun Sengupta Committee) of the Government of India, she joined AUD and was involved in the setting up of the  School of Development Studies and the School of Culture and Creative Expressions. As a development economist, her research and publications fall broadly within the rubric of Industrial and Labour studies and more specifically on Industrial Organisation, Global Value Chains, the Informal Sector, Labour and Migration. Apart from her academic involvements as an economist and social scientist, she is also a singer and composer. Her archiving and documentation of the musical tradition of the Indian People’s Theatre Association from the 1940s and 1950s has resulted in a book titled "The Radical Impulse: Music in the Tradition of the IPTA"  and  an album titled ‘Songs of Protest’ and  she has performed from the documented repertoire extensively in different parts of the country and abroad. She has also collaborated with poets and musicians from South Africa around a project titled ‘Insurrections' which has resulted in four albums. She is currently engaged in researching the relationship between music and migration, particularly of women in slavery and servitude across centuries and across vast tracts of the globe that were linked through long distance trade in commodities and symbolic goods. This work is being done in collaboration with several universities in Africa and Asia. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sm-irfan/message

18 Songs and Ghazals Talat Mahmood (24 February 1924 – 9 May 1998) was an Indian playback singer who is considered one of the popular male Indian film song and ghazal singers. Although he tried his luck as a film actor, he did not succeed a great deal in acting. Talat Mahmood received the Padma Bhushan award in 1992, in recognition of his artistic contributions in the spheres of cinematic and ghazal music.

ft Namwar Singh, Rajendra Yadav, Rachna Yadav, Pratibha Agrawal etc Mannu Bhandari (3 April 1931 – 15 November 2021) was an Indian author, whose work dates up to late 1950s - early 1960s. She was most known for her two Hindi novels, Banti and Mahabhoj. She was often credited as one of the pioneers of the Nayi Kahaani Movement, a Hindi literary movement initiated by authors including Nirmal Verma, Rajendra Yadav, Bhisham Sahni, Kamleshwar, etc. Starting in the 1950s, a newly independent India was going through societal transformations like urbanization and industrialization. This demanded new debates, new opinions and new points of view, provided by those who were part of the Nayi Kahaani movement, including Bhandari. Narratives and stories mostly dealt with the relationship between sexes, gender inequality and equality as a new class of working and educated women had emerged then. Bhandari was one of those post-Independence writers who portrayed women under a new light, as independent and intellectual individuals. Through the subject matter of her narratives, Bhandari highlighted the struggles and difficulties women constantly encountered. Sexual, emotional, mental and economic exploitation had placed women in an extremely weak position in Indian society. Her female characters in her stories are portrayed as strong, independent individuals, breaking old habits and emerging and creating an image of 'a new woman'.

Introduction: Written and voiced by the renowned painter and filmmaker Maqbool Fida Husain for the audio version of his autobiography. Title of the audio autobiography: Suno MF Husain Ki Kahani Video Link: Husain and Irfan Speaks Text penned by Husain Sa'ab: “किसी ने कहा- ‘अपनी कहानी लिखो’। पूछा ‘क्यों?’ कहा ‘तुम पर फ़िल्म बनाई जाए।’ ‘फ़िल्म! ज़रा मेरा हुलिया तो देखिये! क्या कामेडी बनाने का इरादा है?’ ‘हां, ऐसी कामेडी कि आप हंसते-हंसते रॊ पडॆं।’ पिछली सदी के आखिरी दहेके में बस यूं ही कागज़ के एक टुकडे पर लिखना शुरू कर दिया- ‘दादा की उंगली पकडे एक लडका।’ इस पुर्ज़े को पढकर न कोई हंसा न कोई रोया। हां लदन में एक साहबे फ़हम माजिद अली अह्ले सुख़न की नज़र इस पुर्ज़ॆ पर लिखी इबारत पर पडी। एमएफ़ से कहा ‘आप ये फ़िल्म स्क्रिप्ट छोडें और अपनी कहानी को किताब की शक्ल दें तो बॆहतर है।’ इस बात पर हिम्मत बंधी, और कहीं नहीं बैठा बस चलते-फिरते लिखता ही गया। चार-पांच साल के बाद पुर्ज़ों का एक ज़ख़ीम पुलिंदा बग़ल में दबाये प्रेस की तरफ़ छपवाने चला कि अचानक रास्ते में किसी ने पूछा ‘हम आपके हैं कौन?’ तो एमएफ़ की बग़ल से वो पुलिंदा फिसल पडा।’ उसे बीच रास्ता छॊड सात साल तक ग़ायब। हम आपके हैं कौन सवाल पर जवाबन गजगामिनी फ़िल्म बना डाली। लौटे तो वो पुलिंदा उसी रास्ते पर पडा मिला। किताब छप गयी। लॊगों ने हिंदी में पढी, अंगरेज़ी में पढी और अब बंग्ला और गुजराती में पढी जायेगी। लेकिन फिर किसी ने कहा कि कहानी पढने से ज़्यादा सुनने में अच्छी लगती है। याद हैं वो दादी अम्मा-नानी अम्मा की कहानियां! जिन्हें सुनते-सुनते बचपन मीठी नींद सॊ जाया करता। आख़िर में मिलते हैं इरफ़ान साहब, जो मेरी कहानी को ज़बान देते हैं, जिसे आप चलते-फिरते कहीं भी सुन सकते हैं। तो, आइये और सुनिये एमएफ़ हुसेन की कहानी।” Recorded at Hertz, New Delhi Cover Art: Sanjog Sharan @Karmic Design, 2003 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sm-irfan/message

A chapter written exclusively by renowned painter Husain for the Audio Book Suno M.F.Husain Ki Kahani (A Journey in Sound, 2003) Dedicated to the poet Gajanan Madhav Muktibodh, this anecdote registers why the artist started walking barefoot. Limited editions of the complete audio book of more than 5 Hrs available in 5 customized audio CDs. For all sorts of queries contact ramrotiaaloo@gmail.com Watch an exclusive video with MF Husain explaining the venture Suno M F Husain Ki Kahani  A JOURNEY IN SOUND  Icon and Iconoclast. Legend and Maverick. A man who (at age 88) is driven by a seemingly constant charge of inexhaustible energy. And a mind which is constantly at work reinventing itself, always seeking avenues to express itself in novel ways without ever being trapped by the glitter of ephemeral fame and fortune. Husain is a remarkable painter and more importantly an incredible human being. When such a man sets on a quest he achieves the seemingly impossible with remarkable ease. An incurable romantic without being maudlin, Husain a few years back after living an eternity in excellence chose to write his memoirs. The text was written on myriad paper surfaces and then at some point put together by well-wishers. Vivid and visual in its essence the text has been regarded as a literary gem pushing the frontiers of Hindustani literature. The autobiography chose to liberate itself from set norms and conventions of the form. Instead in his hand the pen served as a brush. And lines and the figures that emerged had the same superlative quality as his art. Broad, vivid and minimal. Conversational, nostalgic and humane. Husain's memoir is an exquisite tale of an indomitable spirit fighting heavy odds to triumph. Episodic and high on empathy, Irfan found the work eminently suitable for a radio interpretation. Irfan, a radio professional and writer himself, understood the basic kernel of Husain’s way of story telling. That of the ancient Indian tradition of Qissagoi. The media whose presiding deity for time eternity have been the grandmothers within a family and its recipients dozens of eager ears tuned to numerous twists and turns of a multilayered tale. He also saw a unique opportunity to present to his world a form, a work hitherto unknown to the Hindustani speaking populous of India. The Audio Book. Intimately known to the Bengali and Malayalam listeners, the form is a powerful, intimate and energetic medium to tell a story. A form which supplements and complements the written word. A medium which is not bound by a particular script and can address people who can understand a language if not read it.

Book suggested by Ashok Pande Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M Pirsig पहाड़ पर चढ़ने को लेकर रॉबर्ट पर्सिग की किताब ‘जेन एंड द आर्ट ऑफ़ मोटरसाइकिल मेन्टेनेन्स’ में एक शानदार बात कही गयी है. पहाड़ पर चढ़ते वक़्त आपका 'कम से कम श्रम' लगना चाहिए. उसे फ़तेह करने जैसी कोई इच्छा भी आपके भीतर नहीं होनी चाहिए. आपके अपने स्वभाव की वास्तविकता को तय करना चाहिए कि आप किस रफ़्तार से चढ़ेंगे. ऐसा करते हुए अगर आप बेचैन हो जाते हैं तो रफ़्तार बढ़ा दें. हांफने लगें तो धीमे हो जाएं. पहाड़ पर चढ़ना बेचैनी और थकान के बीच संतुलन कायम करना होता है. जब आप बहुत आगे के बारे में न सोच रहे हों, आपका हर कदम न केवल एक गंतव्य हो जाता है, वह अपने आप में एक अद्वितीय घटना भी बनता है. आप अपने आसपास के माहौल का जायजा लेना शुरू करते हैं.... जमीन पर गिरे इस सूखे पत्ते के किनारे दांतेदार हैं. सामने इस जगह पर चट्टानें ढीली हैं. इस स्थान से बर्फ कम नज़र आती है.... ये वो चीजें हैं जिनपर आपको वैसे भी गौर करना चाहिए. सिर्फ भविष्य के किसी लक्ष्य के लिए जीना एक खोखली बात है. असल जीवन पहाड़ की बगलों में होता है, चोटी में नहीं. चीजें वहीं उगती हैं. लेकिन अगर चोटी न हो तो पहाड़ की बगलें भी नहीं होंगी. चोटी से ही उसकी बगलों को परिभाषित किया जा सकता है. हम इसी तरह चढ़ना सीख सकते हैं – एक बार में एक कदम – कोई हड़बड़ी नहीं. रॉबर्ट पर्सिग की इस आत्मकथात्मक किताब का नायक दो तरह के जीवन मूल्यों से उपजनेवाले संघर्ष का समाधान ढूँढने निकला है – एक तरफ शास्त्रीयमूल्य हैं जो मोटरसाइकिल जैसी मशीनों का निर्माण करते हैं, दूसरी तरफ रूमानी मूल्य हैं जिनकी मदद से आप गाँवों से गुज़र रही किसी सड़क की खूबसूरती का अनुभव करते हैं. स्कूल से लेकर यूनिवर्सिटी तक की पढ़ाई में बेहतरीन प्रदर्शन करने वाले रॉबर्ट पर्सिग ने दर्शनशास्त्र में डिग्री हासिल की...  तकनीकी लेखक और अंग्रेज़ी अध्यापक के रूप में काम किया लेकिन 1960 के दशक के शुरुआती सालों में उन्हें मानसिक बीमारी से गुज़रना पड़ा जिसकी वजह से उनका लंबा समय अस्पतालों और पागलखानों में बीता. अस्पताल के इन अनुभवों ने उनके जीवन दर्शन को उलझा कर रख दिया जिसे राह पर लाने के लिए उन्होंने 1968 में ग्यारह साल के अपने बड़े बेटे क्रिस्टोफर के साथ 17 दिन की एक मोटरसाइकिल यात्रा की. पर्सिग तब चालीस के हो चुके थे. यही यात्रा ‘जेन एंड द आर्ट ऑफ़ मोटरसाइकिल मेन्टेनेन्स’ की बुनियाद बनी. यात्रा के शुरुआती 'नौ दिनों में' पिता-पुत्र के साथ उनके नज़दीकी परिचित जॉन और सिल्विया भी रहते हैं. यात्रा के दौरान उनके साथ तमाम विषयों पर वार्तालाप चलते रहते हैं. इन वार्तालापों में प्राचीन रोमन, ग्रीक, जापानी और अन्य दार्शनिक सिद्धांतों को कसौटी पर घिसा जाता है. पर्सिग यह सारी जद्दोजहद जीवन को समझने के लिए भी कर रहे हैं और अपने बीते समय को स्वीकार करने के लिए भी. ‘जेन एंड द आर्ट ऑफ़ मोटरसाइकिल मेन्टेनेन्स’ के सिद्धांत को एक वाक्य में यूं कहा जा सकता है –अगर कोई काम किये जाने लायक है तो वह बेहतर तरीक़े से किये जाने लायक भी होता है. तुर्की के कवि नाजिम हिकमत की तरह रॉबर्ट पर्सिग भी बार-बार इस बात को दोहराते चलते हैं कि आपको 'हर दिन को' ऐसे जीना चाहिए जैसे आप अनंत काल तक जिये चले जाएंगे लेकिन उस जीने में यह अहसास भी शामिल होना चाहिए कि हर दिन आपका आख़िरी दिन है. ये बात एक ही समय में आपको उम्मीद से भरती हैं और यातना से भी. भाषा और दर्शन के विविध स्तरों पर समानांतर चलने वाले इस उपन्यास का नैरेटिव अलग-अलग तरीकों से जीवनदर्शन, विज्ञान के इतिहास, प्रकृति, साहस और मशीनों जैसे विषयों को छूता चलता है. आप एक चीज की उपस्थिति को समझना शुरू करते हैं दूसरी चीज सामने आ जाती है जिसे समझा जाना उतना ही महत्वपूर्ण है. फिर तीसरी, फिर चौथी. यह क्रम चलता रहता है और किताब के समाप्त होने पर आप एक बेहतर मनुष्य होकर निकलते हैं जिसके प्रश्नों और विचारों में स्पष्टता की मुलायम रोशनी है.

Excerpts from Bharat Ek Khoj Epi 10 “Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.” Image courtesy Bharat Ek Khoj TV Serial --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sm-irfan/message
