Popkast with Garima: Revitalising Indian podcasting with a pop of entertainment 

Podcasting has gone mainstream and the audio industry is literally on a boom! With more than 850K podcasts, the field continues to grow, so will the opportunities for content creators. Popkast with Garima is commissioned by Hubhopper, India’s largest audio platform. The podcast is first interactive pop culture podcast. An unapologetic and badass show, talking about the taboo, breaking the Stree-o-type, opining on everything. From everyday millennial drama to social norms, from 90’s music to all things woke. Hosted by self-proclaimed know-it-all and expert of nothing, PopKast with Garima, ensures that you get your weekly dose of sass and everything that your parents forgot to teach you about life! Garima says, “I started listening to podcasts two years ago that’s when I realised that most podcasts were pretty similar in nature and format – long, loaded with data, and zero audience engagement. I wanted to disrupt the podcast paradigm by still talking about the relevant topics, but in a fun two-way banter with my listeners. On the show I opine on everything millennial, break the Stree-o-type with woke references from pop culture and old Bollywood dialogues. Infact, all episodes on the podcast are names of weird Hindi movies with vintage posters and much nostalgia! Some of the episodes are called Dhoti, Lota Aur Chowpatty, Murde ki Jaan Khatre Mein. There are fun segments where listeners have to guess famous 90’s songs and a whole Popkast playlist to hook on to in the times of Masakali 2.0.” So, basically a podcast revamped and packaged with a lot of dope and sprinkled with sass! Voila! Her latest episode on 420 has sparked conversations across leading news portals and websites. 420 is considered as an occasion for smoking or celebrating the smoking of cannabis. But cannabis is so much more than just smoking the herb. Did you know that? To talk about the same, the episode features a Cannabis activist and Hemp-prenuer gyanning us about the MJ plant and something cool that he is building for the ecosystem – Terraphilic! An expert reveals some uber cool fun facts about India’s history with the plant, it’s medicinal benefits and how this miraculous plant can give us all – Roti, Kapda, Makaan but in the most sustainable fashion. The episode is super fun and a light listen! Hemp’s uses are kaleidoscopic and has innate power to build a better future. From clothes, to using hemp seeds in food – one seed contains 25% more protein and more omega-3 oils than walnuts to pain relief, hemp cooking oil which is better than any oil. Hemp is a great bio-fuel too. Hemp fibre is among the most durable and versatile of all-natural textile fibres. Infact, hemp has even been used to decontaminate soil around the Chernobyl disaster. This nine-thousand-year-old wonder crop of the Himalayas can transform the future but is unfortunately still illegal in India. The episode also draws light on the loopholes that are present in our law regarding cannabis. India has a rich history with the plant, we all know about bhaang, that’s nothing but the flower of the plant. Hemp is definitely the sustainable way forward and it is high time to raise awareness on the same. Garima Surana is a self-proclaimed expert of nothing and loves to talk rant on all things pop. Her podcast, Popkast with Garima – A Hubhopper Original (India’s largest audio platform) is available for streaming on Hubhopper, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher and all other major podcasting platforms as well as on the website. When not scrolling on Instagram, she can be found reading about art and culture. Garima hosts India’s first interactive pop culture podcast. As it is April 2020 also (4-20) Garima, has contributed the third episode to millennials who are developing mixture of hemp hurds and lime, sand, or pozzolans, which is used as a material for construction and insulation. This is called Hempcrete, which is extremely sustainable! The love for 420 in India is silent yet violent types. There are consumers and dedicated ones too!  Link: Episode 3: BOOM: the one that got us high FEAT.

Online – a New Performance Venue for the Arts

Online – a New Performance Venue for the Arts

International Dance Day is celebrated the world over on April 29. It is a global celebration of dance, created by the Dance Committee of the International Theatre Institute, the main partner for the performing arts of UNESCO. No one can undermine the effect of a live performance. The experience of alert minds bonding with each other through the arts. A silent exchange of energy, a silent connection giving rise to multiple emotions. A few weeks back this medium suddenly came to a standstill. With the country under lockdown, live performance spaces are closed. Empty stage, vacant seats. But the show must go on. And it did. Every challenge comes with opportunities. NCPA and many such veteran organisations started their online screening from their archival treasures.   As an arts manager at the NCPA, going online has given us the opportunity to add art more to the lives of our audiences. With live shows we were able to only reach out to people who can physically visit our venues but with online we reach out to even that lady who perhaps has never stepped out of her kitchen. My grandmother listened to the radio as she cooked. Those memories of Indian classical music drenched in her mild spices still linger in that space. Growing up her kitchen was no less a space that I connected with good art. An experience dotted with explanations of ragas or stories of wondrous sadhanas of acclaimed artistes as she chopped away. This course into music appreciation was no less for a young mind as mine.  She always missed not being able to watch dance. Today she would have been happy. Every time we have a screening of our music and dance shows, we have audiences sharing photos of themselves – at their homes, with their kids watching an Indian classical music or a dance show. Online surely has helped us reach out better. It has created a new performance venue for us. Both to perform and to experience… With opportunity comes the necessity of focussed research and planning so that the presentations do justice to the art and the artiste. And with that also comes the topic of sustainability. I know NCPA and all organisations who ticket their shows have put in a lot of effort in creating this habit of paying for good art. With a lot of content now being shared for free, though a beautiful way of reaching out in such tragic conditions but with it is also a growing concern of losing the habit of paying for the arts. This contribution is important. Though in most cases box office collection for the classical arts barely cover the expenses of putting up the show but this participation from the audience in acknowledging the efforts and years of hard work by the artistes are important. It is important to that young kid sitting with her parents watching Indian classical dance with a paid subscription to believe in the talent that she has. A confirmation that her dancing talent matters to the world as much as her skills in solving trigonometry. So what kind of content then should be free online? It’s tough to answer this. Probably something which can’t be recreated or has been extensively performed (and some investment has been recovered). I feel new content (unless supporting a cause) should be reserved for the special person who gives us the respect of creation with subscription.

Quarantined: Love in the time of Corona

Quarantined: Love in the time of Corona

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. After the French Revolution, these immortal words have found a new meaning in today’s war against a killer virus, Corona. This war is shaping up a whole new world order – new Superpowers will emerge, new mega trends will evolve, the world economy will hardly remain recognisable, moreover, you and I will have a new life. The quarantine is thus a very unique event in our lives. Even generations who have seen the World Wars confess that it is most dangerous when the real enemy is not visible. The biggest tactical disadvantage that we have in this war against COVID 19 is that you can’t trust anyone. From a stranger to your co-passenger to your next-door-neighbour, just anyone can transmit the Corona virus to you. It is as if the virus is a shape shifter and can take any form or shape. And thus social distancing has become the grand narrative, and the only way to fight the war, break the chain of the spread of Corona. The quarantine has become a norm rather than an exception during this war against the killer virus. And even in these extreme times of extreme measure when the intensity of emotions and feelings are at an extreme. May be not in its conventional pristine form, but love sure blossoms in an unconventional grey or even dark form. The quarantine has irreversibly changed lives.  The world is no longer the same. But love has its sway even in the time of Corona!  During my quarantine, I wanted to explore lives of others who are my co-passengers in this ordeal. I wanted to know when our mechanised lives are forced to become human and we are forced to break our routines, forced to relook at our lives as well as our relationships, and last but not the least, forced to give time to things and people who really matter, that too unlimited, what happens? And for a writer, creativity is your only trusted friend. So I created these characters, these protagonists and put them in the same premise of the quarantine and watch them respond and react to different scenarios that I toyed with as a writer. And as they say, the beauty of a short story is that you can travel to the end of the word and can be back before dinner. So I did my share of travel and made it back before dinner, literally. So Dark Love has been my inspiration in penning these six stories. The first story is about an affair between two office colleagues, the second explores the story of a male escort, who indulges in multiple affairs with clients. The third is about two people hooking up in an airport while the fourth is a narrative about a couple-both who indulge in an illicit affair. The fifth showcases a doctor’s paternal love to a girl who reminds him of his daughter while the last explores the complexity of the relationship between three people. Quarantined: Love in the time of Corona was not planned. My third book of The Luxe Trilogy was launched in February this year, so I was taking a well-deserved break after launching the three books of the trilogy, Decoding Luxe, Dark Luxe and finally Luxe Inferno in three consecutive years. But then, COVID 19 happened and I was locked down at home, rather quarantined. So the idea came into my mind to write something that every person will be able to relate to. Thus I started writing the book on the second day of the lockdown with a target that I should be able to make it available to my readers while the quarantine and lockdown is still on. Thus in 10 straight days and 10 straight nights, the book was ready and on April 12th it was launched in a virtual literary festival, eLit. My wife Sabiya designed the cover. The same day the book was made available to readers across the globe on Kindle. Usually, I take a year to write a book, but this was an exception and with the extension of the lockdown, more and more readers can read Quarantined during their quarantine. It is hard to read a book or watch a film that exactly depicts the scenario that the reader or audience is in. Quarantined aims to provide its readers a scenario which is exactly their own, so that more and more readers can identify with the protagonists and are able to make sense of the recalibration of their minds during this lockdown in their homes, outside the comfort of their routines. Every creative person has his or her own way or medium of expressing feelings towards events that goes around. As an author I write to express myself. My readers, though they love luxury the way I do, also know that my writings are very unconventional with very fluid boundaries in terms of subject matter and genre so they will love the book. With ‘Quarantined’ I look forward to gaining more and more new readers across the globe, who are my co-passengers in this quarantined time. This is a very special time, a time to introspect, a time to give a hard look at your life. And when it comes to a question of existence, every equation that defines your life is modified. So this book at this very special time is a way to commemorate the undying spirit all the fighters in this war against COVID 19. By Dr. Mahul Brahma – Author Dr Mahul Brahma is a luxury commentator, columnist and author of The Luxe Trilogy and Quarantined.
