Meri Maa Meri Gangster: A Reader’s Journey with Zakiya Farzana / What happens when a book slowly becomes a conversation with yourself?In this episode of Listen with Irfan, I sit down with my wife, Zakiya Farzana, who has recently finished reading Arundhati Roy’s Meri Maa Meri Gangster - the Hindi translation of Mother Mary Comes to Me.Rather than discussing the book as a conventional literary review, we talk about the experience of reading it: the stories that stayed with Farzana, the moments that moved or disturbed her, and the thoughts that emerged as she travelled through Roy’s deeply personal world.This is not a conversation about what the book is.It is about what the book does to a reader.Recorded and published on 28 August 2026, Delhi NCRCover: Irfan

Host: Irfan/In this special episode, recorded on the evening of 19 August 2026 in his hotel room in Delhi, we sit down with Divya Bhatia - the long-standing Festival Director and producer of Jodhpur RIFF, India’s pioneering international roots music festival held at the magnificent Mehrangarh Fort. Since taking the helm in January 2008, Divya has shaped every aspect of the not-for-profit festival, from programming and production to supporting the livelihoods of Rajasthan’s traditional artists. In a candid and lively conversation, he shares personal anecdotes and behind-the-scenes stories that reveal the passion, vision and quiet determination required to build and sustain a world-class festival. Join us for an intimate look at the mind of a festival director who has spent nearly two decades turning living folk traditions into a global cultural dialogue.Cover and Pic: IrfanProduced by the Team Memorywala

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

वो शहनाई नवाज़ों का गाँव था। तीस साल पहले जब मैं वहाँ से गुज़रा तो सड़क के दोनों तरफ़ लगे पोस्टरों और बैनरों को देखकर दंग रह गया था जिन पर लिखा था बुकिंग के लिए यहां संपर्क करें। 38 साल पहले मैंने पटना में शहनाई नवाज़ उस्ताद बिस्मिल्लाह खान को रात भर शहनाई बजाते हुए सुना था और सुबह जब वह प्रोग्राम ख़त्म हुआ तो उनके साथ एक तस्वीर भी खिंचवाई थी। एक मामूली सी पिपिहरी से क्या क्या हो सकता है यह उस्ताद ने अपने जीवन काल में कर दिखाया था। 35 साल पहले मैं उनसे बनारस में उनके घर मिलकर भी आया था। अब भितरगाँव से गुज़रते हुए अचरज से भरता रहा और तभी इन शहनाई नवाज़ों के गाँव का एक दौरा किया और पाया कि शहनाई के लुप्त होते स्वरों के बीच इन बजंतरियों का जीवन कैसे कैसे संकटों से भरा है। बारह साल पहले यह सपना पूरा हुआ कि इस गाँव में ठहर कर शहनाई की इस दुनिया पर एक डॉक्यूमेंटरी बना सकूं। यूट्यूब पर देखें The dwindling art of Shehnai playingकैसे कैसे हुनरमंद लोगों से भरे हैं हमारे देश के सुदूर अंचल और कैसी क्रूर अवहेलनाओं से न केवल उनका अस्तित्व संकट में है बल्कि वे कला रूप जो एक सभ्यता की कहानी संजोए हुए हैं, अपमानित और अंततः विलुप्त होने की ओर तेज़ी से बढ़ रहे हैं यह सब अपनी आँखों से देखना किसी अज़ाब से काम नहीं था। कलाकारों को उनकी दैनंदिन व्यस्तताओं के बीच एक स्थान पर जुटाना और उनसे वह संगीत सुनाने का आग्रह करना बहुत मुश्किल था क्योंकि यह अब उनके जीने में कोई मदद नहीं कर रहा था। कमेंट बॉक्स में ऐसी ही एक रिकॉर्डिंग सुनी जा सकती है जिनमें लगता है वादक किसी बदले की भावना से साज़ों को बरत रहे हों।

Delhi, 28 September 2016

Recorded and Curated by Irfan/More than fifteen years ago, I travelled extensively across Central Uttar Pradesh in search of the authentic yet gradually vanishing sounds of Nautanki ; the immensely popular folk performance tradition that once captivated large parts of India. Beyond entertainment, Nautanki shaped public imagination, social consciousness, and collective memory for generations through its music, poetry, storytelling, and performance.During those journeys, I encountered extraordinary singers, musicians, writers, and performers carrying forward this rich artistic inheritance despite immense hardship and fading patronage. Many of them were struggling simply to survive, even as they preserved a remarkable cultural legacy.This small audio clip is a humble document from that time ; an echo from a vibrant folk world now standing at the edge of disappearance.Photo and Cover: Irfan

Vimal Verma an Actor and Director Share his one of the life anecdote/Recorded and Curated by Irfan/27 May 2016/Kolkata/**Every life carries a few stories that quietly stay with us - moments, encounters, conversations, journeys, surprises, losses, laughter, or revelations that refuse to fade with time.For this ongoing audio series Aur Sunao Guru, I invite friends, comrades, artists, listeners, and fellow travellers to share one such memorable or deeply impressionable anecdote with me.I request them to narrate it in a way that has a beginning, a middle, and an end, so the experience unfolds like a lived moment. A duration of around 6 to 7 minutes would be ideal.What has always fascinated me through these recordings is the unexpected honesty and surprising revelations people often arrive at while remembering. Sometimes a forgotten corner of life suddenly begins to breathe again through voice.I look forward your feedback after listening to these stories.Cover: Irfan

Introduction by Dr Bhupen Singh / Recorded and Curated by Irfan/Haldwani, February 2017/Psychologist Meena Kharkwal offered a deeply insightful lecture and interactive Q&A session exploring the emotional, cultural, and psychological fabric of Uttarakhand’s communities. Moving beyond textbook psychology, the session touched upon collective memory, migration, identity, traditions, resilience, and the subtle behavioural patterns shaped by mountain life. Through lived experiences and thoughtful observations, she highlighted how geography, culture, and community practices influence human psychology in profound ways. The conversation opened a meaningful window into understanding Uttarakhand not merely as a region, but as a living emotional and social landscape.Cover: Irfan

There are journeys that merely take us from one destination to another, and then there are journeys that quietly transform the way we look at humanity itself. My years of travelling across the length and breadth of India and abroad as a journalist have never been limited to assignments, deadlines, cameras, or reports. They have been an ongoing education in human emotions, contradictions, resilience, beauty, and the astonishing plurality of life.Every city, every village, every railway compartment, every tea stall, every backstage corner of a theatre, and every modest household has introduced me to people I had never imagined I would meet. And perhaps that is the greatest gift of travelling with open eyes and receptive ears- the world constantly surprises you. Society reveals itself not merely through headlines or events, but through ordinary individuals carrying extraordinary stories within them.Over time, I realised that my true fascination did not lie only in meeting deadlines or “covering” events. My heart was increasingly drawn towards people- their obsessions, passions, peculiarities, silences, artistic madness, vulnerabilities, and invisible emotional landscapes. Some people devote their lives to preserving a dying musical tradition. Some quietly nurture literature in forgotten towns. Some continue creating despite poverty, loneliness, or complete absence of recognition. There are also those whose tenderness, pain, humour, and courage never become visible to the larger world, yet remain unforgettable once encountered.As a documentarian and storyteller, I often feel that my responsibility extends beyond information. Documentation, for me, is not the mechanical act of recording facts. It is an emotional and ethical process of preserving the fragile textures of human existence before they disappear into silence. Memory is not merely nostalgia; it is continuity. It helps societies remain connected to their emotional, artistic, and moral inheritances.There are countless moments from my journeys that continue to live within me like secret lamps- illuminating my understanding of people and creativity. Many experiences cannot even be fully articulated. Some encounters become deeply personal treasures, impossible to translate entirely into language. They remain within me as guiding lights for an unsuppressable creative impulse that continues to shape my work and my perspective.I have often felt that the world moves too quickly to truly listen. We are surrounded by noise, speed, consumption, and endless distraction. In such a climate, attentive listening itself becomes an act of resistance. To sit with someone, to allow them space to remember, to speak, to sing, to reflect - these are deeply human acts. Through audio, visuals, conversations, interviews, and archival efforts, I try to preserve not only personalities, but also the emotional atmosphere surrounding them.One such memorable moment came while I was working on a documentary exploring the journey of Marathi theatre. During the course of filming, I met at the home of the accomplished singer Shaila Datar. It was one of those gentle, unplanned encounters that remain etched in memory far beyond the formal purpose of the assignment. Prachi displayed immense warmth and kindness towards me, she graciously agreed to hum a few lines in her beautifully trained and tender voice.That small moment may appear insignificant in the larger scheme of things, but for me, it carried the essence of why I continue doing what I do. It was not merely about recording a voice. It was about preserving an atmosphere, a sensitivity, a fleeting human exchange that otherwise would have vanished into time. Cover and Text IrfanSuch moments remind me that documentation is not simply technical work- it is an act of emotional preservation. Read more in Memorywala journal.
