The Collective Cultural memory and Nostalgia of the Pre-Cable times

In this episode, Priyam Moonka is in a cross-border conversation with Umair Hashmi, a British-Pakistani filmmaker and photo-journalist based in Lahore. They discuss a wide range of nostalgic experiences from the Pre-Cable times common to those on both sides of the Indo-Pak Border, in the 1990s, especially associated with Doordarshan shows and Bollywood films like Maine Pyaar Kiya and Mohabbatein. They also talk about the Pop Culture that has been transcending borders and bringing citizens of both nations together in contemporary times, the age of social media. Umair also takes us through his time in the UK relishing the Gujarati Fafda and Dhokla, and the South Indian Dosa and having friends from all over India, the common South Asian Identity blurring the differences created by the Radcliffe line back home.
