Shekhar Joshi was born in Almora, Uttarakhand. His stories carried his home in them. An important voice in the ‘Nayi Kahani’ movement of Hindi literature, Joshi’s stories talked of the struggles of his people, their poverty, exploitation and resistance. This story ‘Dajyu’ was also made into a film by the Children’s Film Society of India. ​​हिंदी साहित्य के 'नयी कहानी' युग की सशक्त आवाज़, शेखर जोशी की कहानियों में उत्तराखंड के कुमाऊँ क्षेत्र की हवा और हरियाली बसी है. लेकिन यथार्त से दूर नहीं हैं ये कहानियां. पहाड़ी इलाकों की गरीबी, जीवन संघर्ष, प्रतिरोध की बात उनके लेखन में उतनी ही झलकती है, जितनी पहाड़ी जीवन की सौम्यता और सौंदर्य. #kumaon #kumaoni #Himalayas #mountains #childrensStory #ShekharJoshi #childhood

देश का राजनैतिक तापमान बढ़ता जा रहा है। इस पसीने छुड़ा देने वाली रस्साकशी के माहौल में दो पल रुक कर मीठे व्यंग का शरबत पीजिये। और हाँ, एक सहानुभूति भरी नज़र ज़रा उस छुटभैये नेता की ओर भी जिसका भविष्य हर इलेक्शन से पहले थाली में कंचे सा डोलता है। As the mercury rises on the nation’s elections, we are all sure to get caught in the crossfire of barbs and brickbats between parties…but for now let's pause a second to smile and savor the forgotten sweetness of a well worded satire. And if you think you have it bad, give a thought to the poor small time neta, whose future rolls around like a marble on a plate, with every election.

Born in Rawalpindi in 1942, playwright and author Swadesh Deepak made Ambala his home. He lived there until 2006, when one day he stepped out of his house for a walk and never returned. His play “Court Martial” is said to have had over 5000 shows across the country and yet Deepak shunned fame. Battling Bipolar disorder he stepped away for treatment, keeping little contact with the outside world. His return to the world of letters was momentous with an autobiographical account of his illness, Maine Mandu Nahin Dekha, and the play Sabse Udaas Kavita. He went on to win the 2004 Sahitya Akademi Award. Swadesh Deepak has not been found to this date. #swadeshdeepak #courtmartial #sahitya #hindi #audio #story #stories #storytelling

Much has been written about Manto. In his times, he was perhaps talked about more than his written works. Dragged into court, condemned by the custodians of culture, ridiculed by the scholars of “serious literature”, Manto lived and wrote as he pleased. He was asked why he wrote and he replied with a honest and witty article, “Main afsana kyunkar likhta hun”. Then he one upped himself by writing a critique of the article and of himself as a writer. --------------------------- Manto was incorrigible! Nothing could make him stop writing about the world as he saw it for as long as he lived. Not six court cases of obscenity, not the partition of his beloved nation and the difficult decision to move to Pakistan, not the abject poverty that drove him to near homelessness, not the bid of well-wishers to admit him to a mental asylum (meant to cure alcoholism). He lived till he wrote and then when he was told he couldn’t write anymore, he died. What he wrote about were taboo subjects, how he wrote them was taboo too. He was rebuked and ostracised but he continued imbuing all his characters- the pimps, prostitutes, lunatics, free spirited women- with the very same dignity that was denied to him. ------------------------- उर्दू लेखक, सआदत हसन मंटो (11 मई 1912 – 18 जनवरी 1955) अपने बेबाक लेखन के लिए जाने गए. कहानियों में अश्लीलता के आरोप मंटो पर लगे और उन्हें छह बार अदालत जाना पड़ा था, लेकिन ये आरोप कभी सिद्ध नहीं हुए. वे अपनी लघु कथाओं, बू, खोल दो, ठंडा गोश्त और चर्चित टोबा टेकसिंह के लिए प्रसिद्ध हुए।कहानीकार होने के साथ-साथ मंटो फिल्म और रेडिया पटकथा लेखक और पत्रकार भी थे। सिर्फ इक्कीस साल के लेखन में, उन्होंने बाइस लघु कथा संग्रह, एक उपन्यास, रेडियो नाटक के पांच संग्रह, रचनाओं के तीन संग्रह और व्यक्तिगत रेखाचित्र के दो संग्रह प्रकाशित कर डाले ------------------------------ ----Social Media Links: ---- Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/StoryjamArti Instagram : @arti_storyjam Club House : @artijain ----------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- My podcast on other platforms: Spotifyopen.spotify.com/show/0rG7ez0Pku1MuWhfvo6Dtz Apple Podcastspodcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/storyjam-hindi-urdu-audio-stories/id1513845846 Gaana.comgaana.com/podcast/storyjam-hindi-urdu-audio-stories-season-1 RadioPublicradiopublic.com/storyjam-GmywpNPocket Castspca.st/rwdymlsd Overcastovercast.fm/itu #Hindi #StoryJam #hindikavita #Urdupoetry #urdu #mantoiyat #tobateksingh #manto #mantokikahani #mantokikahaniyan #progressivewriters

Winner of the Sahitya Academy Award in 1968, Kulwant Singh Virk wrote inboth Punjabi and English. His stories that revolve around the partition of India and Pakistan are especially poignant.I was intrigued by the ending of this story.

Mamta Kalia started writing in the 70’s, around the time when the role of women in society and family was undergoing a rapid transformation. Her stories often revolve around the themes of love and marriage. They carve out in great detail the quiet desperation of family life and the aching desire for the woman to be more than a sum of her roles as a daughter, mother, wife and sister. Shikha in the story ‘Bolnewali Aurat’ holds in her a desire to burn brightly like a roaring fire and not like the diminutive flame of a prayer lamp, after which she is named. व्यास सम्मान से पुरुस्कृत ममता कालिया का जन्म वृन्दावन में हुआसाहित्य उन्होंने लिखा ही नहीं, दिल्ली और मुंबई में पढ़ाया भी है. उनकी कहानियों में माध्यम वर्ग की उस नारी की छवि देखने मिलती है जो वास्तविकता के बहुत करीब है - अपने सुख, दुःख, अभिलाषाओं और निराशाओं में पूर्णतः डूबी, जीती जागती - कोई साहित्यिक स्टीरियोटाइप या रूढ़िवादी कट आउट नहीं- ऐसी ही एक औरत है शिखा. hindi kahani,hindi sahitya,kahani,kavita,Sahitya,suno kahani,podcast,hindi podcast,radio kahani,hindi radio,urdu poetry,urdu shayari,urdu kahani,kisse,audible,audio,storytelling in hindi,mamta kalia tribute to papa,mamta kalia jivan parichay

We carry with us stories of people with whom we crossed paths years, sometimes decades ago. Some are inspiring stories and others, a cautionary tale. Hariram is the kind of unforgettable character we all have known or heard about. He lived a life of greed and misfortune and died an unremarkable death- only to be remembered by a young boy who saw Hariram as the beneficiary of his mother’s simple act of kindness. नमस्कार, मेरा नाम आरती है और मैं Storyjam में हर हफ्ते आपको सुनाती हूँ हिंदी में एक कहानी। अगर आप को कहानियां सुनना अच्छा लगता हैं , तो इस चैनल को सब्सक्राइब ज़रूर करें धन्यवाद! ------- Contact me: Instagram: @arti_storyjam Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/StoryjamArti Club House : @artijain ------- Meet me at these Social Media links: Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/StoryjamArti My podcast on other platforms: Spotify open.spotify.com/show/0rG7ez0Pku1MuWhfvo6Dtz Apple Podcasts podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/storyjam-hindi-urdu-audio-stories/id1513845846 Gaana.com gaana.com/podcast/storyjam-hindi-urdu-audio-stories-season-1 RadioPublic radiopublic.com/storyjam-GmywpN Pocket Casts pca.st/rwdymlsd Overcast overcast.fm/itu #Hindi #StoryJam #hindikavita #hindipoetry #poetry #Urdupoetry ---------- About this channel: On this podcast channel, you can listen to Hindi and Urdu Stories by famous writers of Hindi sahitya/ literature.

Some tragic love stories are legendary- Shirin-Farhad, Laila-Majnu, Sohni-Mahiwal, but for each that became a saga, there are probably millions of love stories that were extinguished and never remembered or retold. You’ll find them in the forgettable inner pages of the newspaper, in whispered gossip at social gatherings and very often buried somewhere deep in the hearts of the very characters of the stories, as they keep up with the demands of their hum-drum lives.  A tragic love story by Keval Sood, originally written in Punjabi.

Qurratulain Hyder was one of the most influential and successful progressive writers post Independence. She was bilingual, writing and translating in both Urdu and English. Her literary life was rich as a novelist and a short story writer, an academic, and a journalist. Her magnum opus, ‘Aag Ka Dariya’ is her best known work. The women in her stories live layered lives often in gray areas between theoretical morality and unforgiving reality. She was born in Aligarh into a literary family and completed her education there.  She then studied at Indraprastha College in Delhi and moved to Pakistan in 1947. Later she moved to England, but found her way back home to India, where she lived and wrote until her demise in 2007.

Did you know that “Timepass”- that uniquely Indian term, meaning passing of time in an aimless and unproductive way, gets harder as you get older. With his astute observations satirist Harishankar Parsai paints a picture of the “Time passer” (here’s a new word for you!) as one who is funny in his pursuits but also pitiful in his aspirations. podcast,storyjam,hindi literature,kahani,kahaniyan,hindi,Harishankar parsai,parsai,satire,vyang,hindi audio story,urdu audio story,hindi audio kahani,urdu audio kahani,hindi radio story,urdu radio story,hindi audio stories,urdu audio stories,harishankar parsai,hindi writer,sahitya,humour,humor,funny,hasya

Om Prakash Valmiki’s novel, 'Joothan' is considered a landmark in Dalit literature. His writing has been long considered to be a searing document of the caste system in India.  In this story, a son returns home with his first salary. He wants to hand over the money to his father along with the bitter truth that his father had been oblivious to and one that has tormented the young man since his childhood. -------------------- story,kahani,urdu kahani,hindi kahani,kahaniyan,radio kahani,radio story,audio story,podcast,storyjam,storytelling,radio,radioplay,Nayi Kahani,Short story,katha,hindi literature,hindi,hindi audio story,hindi audio kahani,urdu audio kahani,hindi radio story,urdu radio story,hindi audio stories,urdu audio stories,hindi writer,sahitya,sahitya akademi,dalit,dalit literature,Muzaffarnagar,hindi stories,omprakash valmiki

In the hands of a great writer everyday life is anything but mundane. It begs a closer, more nuanced examination. In ‘Saag Meat’ Bhisham Sahani weaves an intricate story where the talkative narrator tells the story of a man who is silenced by his circumstances. Is she apathetic? Does she herself deserve empathy? What about those in the story who we only hear about but never hear from? This deeply moving story by Bhisham Sahani is one of his best. Bhisham Sahni could create memorable characters so profoundly real, they could be one of us- complete with our contradictions and ironic humour. ------- If you like what you hear, share, like and leave a comment.

A new kind of Hindi writing emerged post-independence approximately from the late 1950s to the early 1960s. The subjects that writers focussed on came from a newly independent, rapidly urbanizing and industrializing India. The narratives dealt with problems between the sexes, especially with the emergence of the working woman and the scenarios mirrored the difficulties of everyday negotiations of life and work. Mannu Bhadari was one of the pioneers of this “Nayi Kahani movement”. Her works spans decades and one finds many memorable female characters in her stories...one such is Bua in Akeli. #kahaniya,#kahaniyan,#hindikahani, #hindi #kahaniyan,#storyjam,#podcast,#stories,#Urdustories,#newkahani,#feminist,#women #stories,#womanstories,#mannubhandari #मन्नू भंडारी

Shrilal Shukla, one of the greatest satirists in Hindi language was a Jnanpith awardee. A civil servant in his day job, Shukla had an upclose view of bureaucracy as well as the systemic rot that plagues it. Shukla’s acerbic, witty examination of rural life revealed a world of flummoxed villagers and petty politicians, of witty one liners that shine through the overall bleakness of village life.  #satire #stories #kahani #ShrilalShukla

I have to confess that for a long time I associated Premchand’s writing with a kind of morose sentimentality. How and why that thought anchored itself in my head I have no clue, but it was no doubt a result of my ignorance. I “discovered” Premchand in the last few years and am glad to be proven wrong. His writing has the depth and breadth that few other authors can claim. His observations are sharp, his humour sparkling and even the minor characters in his writing become unforgettable. And then there’s his personal life- his commitment to progressive writing, the relationship he shared with his writer wife- Shivrani, his commitment to his art. I keep adding to the list. I am glad to share a story today that is as incisive a commentary on education, as it is witty.
