Recording from "An ongoing celebration of the spoken word, attentive listening, and the imagination"./Live session 4th July 2026, Press Club of India/Featured works: Vapsi by Usha Priyamvada, Typewriter Per Prahavadi Prayog by Sharad Joshi, Jamun Ka Ped by Krishan Chander | Narrated by Irfan/About the series:-Through the art of vachik (oral interpretation) and avritti (expressive recitation), selected stories, poems, travel memoirs, essays, satires, and excerpts from novels are not merely read aloud; they are re-experienced through the human voice. The purpose is to uncover and share the emotional, sensory, rhythmic, and imaginative dimensions concealed within the written text.We inhabit an age of relentless digital consumption. Our days are increasingly spent scrolling through screens, consuming an endless stream of information and entertainment, often without the experience of genuine engagement. In this process, we risk losing touch with one of humanity's oldest, most intimate, and most profound cultural practices: listening.An Evening with Irfan stands as a conscious response to that condition.It is founded on the belief that many literary works-whether classic or contemporary, celebrated or overlooked-reveal entirely new meanings when encountered through a sensitive and attentive voice. A familiar text can suddenly disclose its hidden rhythms, emotional undercurrents, humour, irony, tenderness, and intent when heard rather than merely read.This series affirms the enduring power of the spoken word and the transformative possibilities of attentive listening. It celebrates not only literature, but also the sacred relationship between the voice and the ear.Before there were screens, there were stories.Cover: Irfan
