Laal chashma - hindi stories 

Many times in our daily lives, any external stimuli has the potential to trigger a short circuit in our brain, momentarily pushing us down the memory lane and resurfacing those long-forgotten emotions that were once extremely close to our heart but could never be linguistically described. Putting on the 'magical' LaaL Chashma, empowers me to proactively search for such emotions and I bring them to life via realistic short fiction stories, where ordinary characters face extra-ordinary situations. Stories that will make you feel happily nostalgic of those strange feels – one emotion, one episode at a time.

The protagonist, as a 12-year-old kid foresees the future and tries to find a sustainable support system for his differently-abled sister – an early stage emotional realization that at times life throws questions that are out of the syllabus makes the protagonist mature early.

Some not-so-smart, not the top-of-the-class kid comes, yells, and 'tells you' to forgo your belief and your upbringing of mutual respect you have for those you have known for years. In this world of ever-increasing noise, only your humanity can help you filter out the signal. Being human is a given, but keeping humanity alive is an emotional choice

Stories through ages have said that we are what we consume. Well, in the literal sense, we all have some foods which hold a special place in our hearts, and sometimes it's not because of their taste, but due to the memories, they associate us with. A COVID-19 health care worker takes a trip down the memory lane when he breaks for hi-tea and snacks during his pandemic shift.

All excited to join his first job ever, the protagonist suddenly finds himself in the perplexing feeling of being lost in life, after losing that one thing that he unknowingly took for granted. Later realizing that life is like a big jigsaw puzzle that takes time to build. We can only see the bigger picture, once we start putting in the many important and not-so-important pieces together. It's a way of life to keep tossing the board from time to time. Throwing away our game plan.

I am humbled by the love and response you have shown to this podcast since its inception. I feel honored to have been able to touch so many lives in my own artistic way. As a way to continue to add value to your lives, I have been working on something new, something different - with a twist. Stay tuned. 

LaaL Chashma is an attempt to glimpse the invisible emotions in our everyday lives. It’s a look back at our roots and a look ahead with that retrospective guiding us forward. Each story is laced with nostalgia and a quest to find a home. They try to make sense of the senseless, put words to the wordless. The only hope is to help you pause, question, and feel.

Seema believes that she is a fluffy potato in the garb of a human. She does technical writing to feed her tummy and storytelling to feed her soul. She feels that there are some awe-inspiring Indian authors who are slowly fading away from our minds. To celebrate such authors, she started Katha Khoj in 2018, a storytelling community for adults. Occasionally, as a storyteller, she also feels the need to tell her side of a story. And that’s when she puts her pen to paper. When she is not writing or narrating stories, she uses her lame jokes as weapons of mass destruction.

I speak to Seema about - storytelling for adults, aspiration, literature, and more importantly that dreams don't have an age limit

Only a few in the world have the courage to challenge societal norms, and for those who do, risk follows in all types, shapes, and sizes. The question to ask oneself - is the risk worth it? A dream that makes him question the reality of everything around him.

This episode is a recital of the inspirational poem "Antim Unchai" originally written by Padma Bhushan Shri Kunwar Narayan. He is one of the finest poets in Hindi literature and never ceased to inspire a generation of people with his work resonating waves of motivational and inspirational vibes.

Antim Unchai (अंतिम ऊँचाई) is part of his collection of poems from the book Apne Sapne published in 2003. Kunwar Narayan embraced life on different grounds of cognition and thought where diversity is his unique element. Most of his poems do not seem to create boundaries but an immersion of various language and subjects.

There is an absence of deceptions in the language of his poetry and many of his poems touch different parts of life in a completely new way. This recital bonus episode is my ode to such great artists who inspire, by their deep thinking and simple words.

Vikramaditya Motwane's 'Udaan' is a Bollywood film, that lingers your memory, and gives you the hope to live your dreams. A movie that's very detailed without being showy, poetic without being operatic, subtle without being too restrained, and poignant without being preachy. Today's bonus episode is a recital of one of the poems from this movie. Hope it proves as much inspiration for you, as it does to me.
