    The Dubai Framer

    Someone once joked that the national expat hobby of people in Dubai was framing. And in that famous hobby, Hammad Co plays an important role. For almost 4 decades, the shop has framed people's memories and memorabilia; their frames sometimes becoming an important piece of the artwork. In this year-ender episode, we connect with Fadi Hammad and his father, Ahmed, to hear about their story and their musings on the art of framing. We also dialled into Toronto to speak to an old customer of theirs--Canadian-Indian artist Mazarine Memon, who lived in Dubai, where she discovered her calling as an artist and framing as an art. Credits Special thanks to Fadi Hammad, Ahmed Hammad and Mazarine Memon. Hosted & Produced by Vinita Bharadwaj and Chirag Desai. With support from Abhishek Venkatasubramanian and Zaina Ujjaini.

    The Lives of Our Fathers

    On the season finale of KarāmaSūtra, we touch upon a specific kind of Indian experience in the Gulf. Featuring a special guest--Abu Dhabi-based writer Deepak Unnikrishnan--we remember our fathers, without whom it's highly improbable we would have ended up in the cities we're in. Ahead of Father's Day, this marks the end of a 9-episode season and we will return with new stories on October 8, 2020. **Credits** Special thanks to Deepak Unnikrishnan for sharing his story and joining us in the studio earlier this year. Hosted & Produced by Vinita Bharadwaj & Chirag Desai. With support from Abhishek Venkatasubramanian, Sukayna Kazmi and Zainab Ujjaini. Piano by Spatika Caranobe.

    QuaranTimes | Norwalk, CT, United States

    It's a strange new world we inhabit. Every single one of us is going to emerge in the post-COVID-19 landscape differently, shaped by how we experience it. Our 'QuaranTimes' episode documents one of numerous personal stories around the world. In this episode, we meet Babar Sheikh, whose story resonates with several conversations in present-day America: immigration, small businesses, and, President Donald Trump. Originally from Pakistan, Babar's family are in the food business, which is struggling like so many others around the world. From processing the pandemic to taking tough decisions for his business, Babar tells us how he's coping in the present; and he also takes us back to his high school years, when he went to school with some famous First Children. **Credits** With thanks to Babar Sheikh. Hosted & Produced by Vinita Bharadwaj & Chirag Desai. With support from Abhishek Venkatasubramanian, Sukayna Kazmi & Zainab Ujjaini.

    Touching the pickle (jar)

    In India, there are many myths & taboos around menstruation. One of them is that if girls or women on their period 'touch the pickle jar, it will go bad'. The secrecy around the subject has perpetuated myths and mystery around what really is the source of life itself. Around the world, there are many, who are taking these taboos head on and persuading societies to reexamine the way we talk about menstruation. From introducing girls (and boys) to menstruation in a healthy way to stopping the isolation of women on their period, every country has its fair share of work to do. In this episode, we take the show to India and Australia to find out what is being done to mitigate the 'ick' factor in their societies. **Credits** With thanks to Aditi Gupta, Tuhin Paul, Gomathi Seetharaman, Vandana Seetharaman & Carol Morris. Hosted & Produced by Vinita Bharadwaj & Chirag Desai. With support from Abhishek Venkatasubramanian, Sukayna Kazmi & Zainab Ujjaini.

    Debt, despair, destiny

    For many, the Gulf dream does not always work out the way it was intended. This month, KaramāSūtra embarks on what will doubtless be one of many episodes that explore the sacrifices made by South Asia's many migrant workers who spend years away from their families in the hope of a better life and a brighter future. Suresh Kumar, an Indian in Ajman, has spent 34 years with little to show for his time away from his family. Deep in debt and driven to the depths of despair, Suresh is one of many individuals that K.V. Shamsudeen, a long-term UAE resident and community mentor, has assisted with financial advice. We visit Suresh at his new tailoring shop in Ajman and Shamsudeen shares a few slices of his observations over 50 years of the South Asian migrant in the Gulf. **Credits** With thanks to K.V. Shamsudeen & Suresh Kumar. Hosted & Produced by Vinita Bharadwaj & Chirag Desai. With support from Abhishek Venkatasubramanian, Sukayna Kazmi & Zainab Ujjaini.
