The Hangout with Rushdi

Hey guys,

This is episode is slightly special because the clock is ticking for the play Chuhal.

I had a visit from the Director Huda Bhaldar & one of the plays leading actors Saleem Surani.

The play revives contemporary Hindi theatre of which Manav Kaul’s work is an epitome. Chuhal is the story of two strangers who fall in love despite their contrasting personalities and the ideas of a happy ending. It’s their journey of discovering oneself and the other that empowers.

The play takes you through a series of light-hearted conversations that make you laugh and reflect upon the meaning of love, life and relationships. It's at times based in abstract, at times so real. Come Find out where this 'Chuhal' will lead.

A story of love and liberation that is so ordinary yet so extraordinary.

It was a fun relaxed chat about the journeys of Huda and Saleem began respectively.

All in all it was a fun chat about an upcoming, locally produced play that is coming up in The Junction on the 10th of January. This play is being put on due to high demand so make sure to grab your tickets before they run out.

As always, enjoy the show.

Hello people!

I know you have been eagerly waiting to hear my beautiful voice and thus I am back.

Once again missed a few weeks due me drowning in work as well as scheduling issues caused this to happen but I (think) am back on it!

*falls of it and breaks neck*

Aaaaanway, this week I sit down with Taqi and Mansi and we talk about THE FUTURE

It’s a topic I randomly brought up. We talk about technological developments in current times, what we love, what we hate.

I then bring up technology that was predicted back in the 1950’s(ish) for current time and then we go onto further discuss predictions for the future.

Overall a pretty chill discussion, let us know what you think about it.

As always, thanks for hanging out with us.

Hello one and all.

This week I sit with Dubai based Comedian Imah Dumagay.

We didnt decide what we were going to speak about specifically but Imah is so full of such pure love and affection that it was a pivot to most of our discussions.

Her being the only Filipina comedian in the region similar to me being the only Sri Lankan one I appreciate her position which which is basically representing a whole country through a skill so I find out her style and how she got addicted to the stage.

Apart from talking about that we cover relationships, companionship and a little bit of love. There is no Imah if there is no love and I can confidently say when shes in a room everything gets a little rose tinted to the point where I usually get uncomfortable and have to leave.

So enjoy this conversation with the organizer of Kickers Comedy Night - Imah Dumaguy!

See you next week!

Hello all!

This week I sit down with MMA fighter Gwendoline Charbein and we talk about.. *drum roll* MMA! And dont let the fact that she doesnt have a catchy fighter name throw you off, she still packs a punch.

Seems slightly "clickbaity" but the link to her fight is below in the show notes.

I do ask MMA 101 questions but we do cover her own experience and a relatively new fighter on the scene.

We cover her background and how she got into it. Also her views on training, how its going in this region and do a tiny review of her fight.

We had questions put forward by our brilliant illustrator Leilani giving me something to stand on to keep carrying on the conversation and it did go places.

Hope you guys enjoy the episode and as always, see you next week.
