| APNI APNI BIMARI by Harishankar Parsai | 01 nov. 2024 | 00:08:16 | |
Apni Apni Bimari by Harishankar Parsai masterfully explores the nuanced landscape of human suffering through the lens of satire. This story unveils the peculiar and often ironic hierarchies of problems people face in life—from those who lament their financial hardships over taxes while living comfortably, to those who struggle for basic needs, and the inescapable burden of small-scale troubles that seem monumental to those bearing them. Parsai's storytelling highlights the relativity of pain and how one’s perspective shapes their sense of struggle. Join us as we delve into this comedic yet poignant narrative that examines how people cling to their unique "illnesses" while yearning for greater struggles that symbolize status and privilege. The result is an insightful, relatable portrayal that sparks both laughter and reflection on the human condition.

| Sher (शेर) by Asgar Wajahat (असग़र वजाहत) | 06 sept. 2024 | 00:05:59 | |
This week on Naatak Radio presenting a symbolic and satirical short story by Asghar Wajahat. In a tale probably belonging in the Panchtantra style of story-telling, but reminiscent of The Animal Farm, we hear of a jungle where animals willingly enter a lion's open mouth. Why are they doing this? And what happens when someone tries to question this system forms the basis of this short story. He has published five collections of short stories, six collections of plays and street plays, and four novels.

| Vrindavan: Naee Jaaoon | 06 sept. 2024 | 00:03:40 | |
Presenting the next song from Naatak's VRINDAVAN, our 110th production. In Naee Jaaoon, presented as a Meera Bhajan, a widow pleads to not be asked to leave Vrindavan as she wants to devote herself to her one and only true love. This incident provides the inspiration for Vrindavan, City of Widows, in which 12 feisty widows live in raucous celebration until a Bollywood actress arrives to disrupt their lives. Vrindavan is a grand musical, juxtaposing the colorful love of Radha and Krishna with the stark existence of Vrindavan widows, and told through humor and wit, the songs of Meera Bai and the gyrations of Bollywood songs. The play features spectacular sets, costumes and lights, along with live music by Nachiketa Yakkundi and his team.

| Alice Gerstenberg's He Said and She Said; Directed by Poulomi Sarkar | 01 août 2021 | 00:24:26 | |
This week, we present one of the most acclaimed American playwright Alice Gerstenberg's famous one-act play: He Said and She Said, adapted for an Indian setting. Isha invites two friends, Mrs. Puri and Dhani, to dine with her and her husband Lakshya. However, upon arriving, Mrs. Puri has a piece of gossip for Isha about Dhani that threatens to ruin the night and to end friendships. As in Alice Gerstenberg's other plots, the hallmark of He Said and She Said is the clever word play is used so that characters rarely finish their thoughts or say exactly what they mean, making other characters assume the worst and relate a version of the story more twisted than the last.

This week on Naatak Radio, presenting Rashid Jahan's Dilli Ki Sair. A forerunner among a cohort of young, female, Urdu short story writers in the 1930s and 40s, Rashid Jahan - doctor and a political activist, is credited with freeing the tongues and pens of several generations of writers that followed, including the great Ismat Chugtai who considers Rashid Jahan as a literary mentor. “She spoilt me because she was very bold and used to speak all sorts of things openly and loudly, and I just wanted to copy her,” Chughtai would later write. Dilli Ki Sair is one Rashid Jahan's most famous short stories. It is the story of the incidents that happened with a woman who came from Faridabad to Delhi for a trip with her husband. When she goes back to Faridabad, she narrates them to her friends, and the incidents are so interesting that she's asked to narrate them every time her friends gather at their house.

| લોહીની સગાઇ by Ishwar Petlikar, performed by Nikunj Shah | 20 juin 2021 | 00:34:19 | |
Ishwar Petlikar’s short story in Gujarati, “Lohini Sagai” (‘Ties of Blood’) is a moving account of the relationship between Mangu, a young girl with mental retardation and speech impairment and her mother, Amratkaki, and the latter’s extraordinary love for her daughter. Mangu is dependent on her mother for all her daily activities. Amratkaki prays for a ‘cure for Mangu’s condition’, tries all manner of traditional healing systems and dreams of getting her daughter married at some time in the future. The villagers and Amratkaki’s other children insist that Mangu be moved to a ‘hospital’ for people with mental disabilities for her own good. Amratkaki resists this for a long time but eventually gives way and leaves Mangu in the institution. However, acute anxiety and anguish gnaw at her heart. In the end, Amratkakiis consumed with grief and guilt at ‘abandoning’ her helpless daughter and loses her own sanity.
