India, the wonder that it was, and the wonder that it is…On this Republic Day of India, let us all strive to give back as much as we can to our motherland’s development…wherever we may be across the globe…
Wish all our listener’s a very Happy Republic Day !!
The conversation with Nida Fazli Sahaab was just beautiful poetry…every word, every sentence uttered mesmerizing…that my description here will fall short….
So, we went down memory lane, to the most painful period of India’s history-the time of partition…the grief beyond and the stand Nida Fazli took to stay back in India even though it meant separation from his parents…
His life thereafter, and the time when the city of the “sea and coconuts”,Mumbai became his home …all this and much more , we recount …
Please do tune in for this conversation, on our Hindi Radio Show,’ Chat & Chai’, on MeraSangeet gold, on Friday, 22 Jan, at 9 AM, 11 AM, 2 PM, 5 PM & 8 PM EST
