नमस्कार!

आज सुनेंगे शरद जोशी जी का लेख "होना कुछ नहीं का"।

Hello and Welcome to the Mansarovar Podcast. Today is a reading of Sharad Joshi Ji's satirical piece 'hona kuch nahi ka' from his collection called "Jeep Par Savar Illiya"

धन्यवाद्! जल्दी फिर मिलना होगा - कविता पढ़ते रहिये!

Rashid Jahan was an Indian writer and practising medical doctor known for her Urdu literature, feminist stories, plays, and social commentaries. She wrote short stories and plays and contributed to  Angarey, a 1932 collection of unconventional short stories in collaboration with other writers, often seen as the start of the  Progressive Writers Movement. Angarey was subsequently banned from publication and distribution.  'Mard Aur Aurat' is a one-act play by Rashid Jahan; a dialogue between an unnamed couple about the gender hierarchies, economic freedom of women and equal responsibilities of man and woman in child rearing -  topics still hotly debated in the 'modern' times we live in.   

@Arti Jain is a storyteller, filmmaker and podcaster who is currently the Digital  Editor at Nayi Dhara - one of the oldest Hindi literary magazines in  India. She is also the creator and host of the StoryJam podcast. You can listen to her work and know more about her at the following links:

'Yahi Sach hai', the story which was made into the movie Rajnigandha by Basu Chatterjee (starring Amol Palekar, Vidya Sinha) is a love triangle that plays out as the inner monologue from the perspective of the central female protagonist. Bhandari wrote about a woman attempting to choose between her two loves; one from her past and one from her present. Anagha Wankhede reads this eponymous love story for us and the discussion follows.  

Mannu Bhandari (born 3 April 1931) is an Indian author, whose work dates up to late 1950s - early 1960s. She is most known for her two Hindi novels, Aapka Banti and Mahabhoj. She is 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 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.
