    Piya Pardesi Bina | Lyrics Shashi Kant Singh

    A song written by Shashi Kant Singh and created with the music and vocals by him only. Copyright/Shashi Kant Sing Curated by Irfan "ये मेरी नई और भोजपुरी कंपोजिशन है, पिया परदेसी बिना... मैं क्षेत्रीय बोली के गीतों जैसे अवधी, भोजपुरी आदि पर एक प्रयोग कर रहा हूं। बड़े लंबे समय से मैं देख रहा हूं कि हमारी क्षेत्रीय बोली के गीतों का कंपोजिशन ऐसे किया जा रहा है, जैसे यह जाहिलों और गवारों का ही गीत हो, या सौत के बेटे को किसी ने उबटन और काजल लगाया हो। इसीलिए इन गीतों को दूसरी बोली वाले तो क्या सुनेंगे, खुद इन्हीं बोली के लोग इन्हें नहीं सुनते। आखिर क्या वजह है कि पंजाबी और हरियाणवी समझ में ना आने के बावजूद भोजपुरी क्षेत्र में पंजाबी और हरियाणवी सुनी जाती है? हमारे गीतों में ऐसी क्या बुराई है जो दूसरे क्षेत्रों में तो छोड़ो, हमारे ही क्षेत्र के संपन्न वर्ग में नहीं सुनी जाती, जबकि शास्त्रीय गायन के सभी कंपोजिशन हमारी क्षेत्रीय बोलियों में ही हैं, जैसे, का करूं सजनी आए ना बालम, आयो कहां से घनश्याम, मोहे पनघट पे नंदलाल छेड़ गयो रे, चदरिया झीनी रे झीनी.. ? मैंने गायन शैली में शालीनता भरी है, प्रयुक्त वाद्य यंत्रों और उनके वादन के तरीकों में थोड़ा परिवर्तन किया है, थोड़ा क्लासिकल टच देने की कोशिश की है।" Cover: Irfan

    Roving Through Delhi’s Soundscape | 1

    Curated by Irfan/ With my professional roving audio recorder in hand, I recently tried to capture the living soundscape of Delhi. Not just the obvious noises of the streets- inside the metro trains, vendors calling, distant traffic, footsteps- but also the quieter, intimate sounds of indoor spaces where life unfolds in softer tones. Cities are not only seen; they are deeply heard. This modest recording is an attempt to listen to Delhi as it breathes between the outside world and the inner rooms we inhabit. I hope these fragments of sound evoke the many moods of this restless city. Cover: Irfan

    Junglemunn Ki Diary | Kabir Sanjay | Irfan

    What happens when a city-dweller’s heart belongs to the jungle? 🌿 In this podcast series, I present an immersive voiced narration of the entire book Junglemunn Ki Diary written by Kabir Sanjay. Through this audiobook-style podcast, listeners will travel into the intimate reflections of a nature lover living within the contradictions of urban life. The book speaks to countless city residents who deeply love trees, forests, plants, and the idea of living closer to nature-yet find themselves trapped in demanding routines, consumerist pressures, and the relentless pace of modern existence. With honesty and irony, the author calls himself and many like him “Nimophilists”- people who are emotionally drawn to greenery and forests but often struggle to act fully on that love. Written from lived experiences of the past and the paradoxes of the present, Junglemunn Ki Diary is both tender and thought-provoking. It raises an emotional yet powerful argument about our relationship with the environment and gently nudges us to become more sensitive to the ecological challenges around us. 🎧 Episode 1 begins this journey- entering the diary of a nature lover whose thoughts mirror the quiet longing many of us carry for forests, rivers, and the living world beyond concrete cities. If you care about nature, urban life, and the inner conflict between the two, this series may resonate deeply with you. Cover: Irfan (Using Book Cover desiigned by Mahesh Verma)
