I’ve only met a few people like Anurag. He’s the kinda guy that seems to be able to put their mind to anything.

Anurag is an entrepreneur, director, and all-around media businessman. He works closely with Farhan Akhtar on various projects and absolutely has his finger on the pulse of what's happening in India in terms of music, TV, and film. Great to talk to someone who’s paving the way and making things happen!

It's always dangerous for me to watch BBC’s Masterchef. Even though I’ve had my dinner, it always makes me hungry again.

That's exactly what happened when I watch Arbinder cooking on the show. In the words of Greg Wallace, “Arbinder knows his way around a grill”!

This lovely, humble, gentle chef loves serving fine food which is beautifully presented. Check out his Instagram page, but I warn you, you’ll soon be heading for the fridge to see what you can rustle up!

How shocking! Chichichi !! A female, Indian author that writes saucy novels! What is she thinking? What will the family say?

Of course, I’m being sarcastic!

I want you all to meet (those that haven’t already) the trailblazer that is Madhuri Banerjee. She writes erotic novels aimed at an ever-growing market of Indians who want more than the everyday love story!

Kane Brown is a stand-up comedian who is nothing short of a beast on stage. I’ve been a fan for ages and now I’m so glad we’ve got to work together on Comedy Nights! 

He’s a great guy with a big heart and lots of love for his craft, his family, and his friends. 

If you haven’t seen Kane live, you need to!

Check out @desicentral on Instagram to see when he’s next performing! 

Enjoy the chat with the mighty Kane Brown!

Monty is like no other - What a guy! He's been at the peak of his career, made himself a household name, and also got himself together after more challenging times. That deserves a whole load of respect.

I had this chat with him and the Managing Director of Go Daddy who kindly helped power this episode! Nikhil Arora knows all about businesses starting their journey. That's what Go Daddy does... they get companies on their way. Similarly, Monty, as a businessman and product, has diversified his offering from Sports to be a fully qualified Journalist. He's not afraid to try something new - and if you want to give your dreams a go, start with registering a domain at Go Daddy. 

Come on! We've all done it - imagined ourselves as successful writers. I've had a million ideas for kids books in particular. But thats where it ends! I never do anything about it! 

The guests today are all kids' authors who tap into their Desi roots to make sure that the new wave of childrens stories show a broader range of characters from all walks of life.

Recorded at the Desi Blitz Literature festival (the same one that featured Sathnam Sanghera, in last weeks podcasts) - this was an awesome chat which shows us all that an idea starts with one little spark ~ You could be the next JK Rowling!

Michael Vaughan is a former England cricketing legend. Now commentating on the many forms of the sport (most of which he's played in his time) he is a man known for oozing a laid-back coolness. Always very giving in his conversation, he's got a superb eye for the game and an ability to capture Cricket fans with his passion and insights.

Plus he's a bit of a "karshi" on Twitter ... he loves to stir up the Indian fans! And he knows it! We had a great chat about family, managing your time, and the sacrifices that go with the modern game of Cricket.

Anuvab Pal is one of the loveliest people in the world. He's that guy who is always chilled out, giggling, enjoying life, and feels truly happy.

I love being in his company and he's got so much to say about Brit-Asian life compared with "back home".    

Aatif Nawaz is a stand-up comedian and BBC broadcaster. He’s a funny guy who has a freakish encyclopaedic knowledge of Cricket, statistics and players. He’s also super passionate about the sport and how there should be more crossover between Pakistan and India in leagues and National tours.

Like a lot of us, Aatif has had his ups and downs and we talk about how he manages to “put on a happy face” despite how he’s feeling.

He’s a great guy with a big heart!  Top bloke! 

Gautam Bhimani is an Indian broadcaster and host. With a love for trivia, quizzes, and sport, it’s no wonder he’s often seen alongside the greats giving us coverage of all the Cricket (why’s there so much cricket on? … Surely it’s too much!?)

Let’s ask Gautam!
