    Kabir, the saint, poet and a bhakta

    Kabir is an unusual poet by all means. In the 15th century, when Persian and Sanskrit were predominant North Indian languages, he chose to write in colloquial, regional language. Not just one, his poetry is a mixture of Hindi, Khari boli, Punjabi, Bhojpuri, Urdu, Persian and Marwari.

    Baba Bulleh Shah

    Parh Parh Alam Fazal Hoya Kalam Baba Bulleh Shah Parh parh Alam te faazil hoya Te kaday apnay aap nu parhya ee na (You read to become all knowledgeable But you never read yourself) You read so many books to know it all, yet fail to ever read your heart at all. Bhaj bhaj warna ay mandir maseeti Te kaday mann apnay wich warya ee na (You run to enter temples and mosques But you never entered your own heart) You rush to holy shrines to play a part, Would you dare enter the shrine of your heart Larna ay roz shaitaan de naal Te kadi nafs apnay naal larya ee na (Everyday you fight Satan But you never fight your own Ego) You are quick to attack the evil one, yet pride is a battle you have not won. Bulleh Shah asmaani ud-deya pharonda ay Te jera ghar betha unoon pharya ee na (Bulleh Shah you try grabbing that which is in the sky But you never get hold of What sits inside you) You grab for a star you can control, yet fail to grasp the light in your soul.

    Bukowski Night

    What a high one gets while reading this legend of a man, Charles Bukowski. The fire in his words, the passion in his tone, the courage in his voice, all roll into one, of a time he speaks of that ruined him, toured him apart to pieces, eventually making a poet out of a monotone and deprivation.

    Just another ramble

    Back after a hiatus, I'm excited to start with film photography and that's what I talk about in this episode briefly. Trying to be less self-conscious and more aware during the impromptu episode recording. Ok going back to sleep and wake me up when September ends! :)

    Aditi ki Awaaz and self reflection

    My friend Aditi inspired me to start this podcast where I rant, whine, read poetry, and slow down. This episode is a reflection of how she has fuelled me knowingly or unknowlingly.

    An ordinary wooman's dilemma

    2021 June it is and how many dilemmas around us...phew!!! An ordinary podcast from a much ordinary woman. Every now and then, I have rants and realizations up my sleeve from my own doings. The most imperfect yet raw podcast one could award me to so here I am :)  Thank the app algorithms for you to have my listener and even if any of the smallest things I said on the podcast made a nano-bit of sense to you, think the purpose of sharing the podcast is achieved (although I'd never claim so, am genuinely happy to share another ordinary voice out to the world of crowded internet). Guess the unwarranted sarcasm wasn't needed, sorry. I guess that's one of the dilemmas too! You can reach me at IG:shifunc if you've any thoughts to share. Ciao!
