    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)

    Dharmendra | A Tribute from Ahmad and Sher Tookhi

    Dharmendra: The Towering Jat Who Conquered Afghan Pathan Hearts – A Childhood Tribute from Ahmad and Sher Tookhi/ Introduction and Curation Irfan/Soundtrack Courtesy Saregama/ Last year, Dharmendra—or as we say, Dharam Prahji—who was known as the He-Man of Hindi films, bid farewell to this world at around 90 years of age. Coming from a typical village in Ludhiana, Punjab, Dharmendra never formally learned acting anywhere and relying on his innocent face and well-built body, he played all kinds of roles in more than 300 films. Without worrying about wins or losses, he worked as if acting was his labor and continued working in films until his last breath. On this chequered board of flops and hits, he left behind moves that film lovers across the Indian subcontinent will always remember. Ahmad and Sher Tookhi, brothers born in Afghanistan and living in America for the past 40 years, have paid tribute to Dharam Ji by refreshing memories related to the film culture of Afghans, drawing from their childhood recollections. One end of these memories starts from the era of 1955, connecting to their uncle and father, while the other end trails off into their own boyhood until 1983—that is, until they left Afghanistan. How a towering Jat like Dharmendra becomes a companion in the imagination of towering Afghan Pathans is not rocket science to understand. It is the shared expanse of common values between the two countries, personal beliefs, character strengths, love for justice, and hearts beating with love. The passion that Sher Tookhi has for films, books, music, and languages is becoming rare these days. You have already heard many of his recordings here, and in the coming days, this series will expand even further—I am fully confident of that. For now, stepping aside from between you and Sher Bhai, I take you, with the support of Dharam Prahji, to Afghanistan—where Sher spent his childhood, and why he never wants to return there again?
