Let's gather under the night sky, around the glowing warm bonfire, with our loved ones or maybe just our curious selves. For the solace & childhood joys like storytime, discovering a book or film, chatting up with friends new & old, and humming along to melodies. A space for sharing simple things like the joy of art, pleasure of expression and comfort of heart-to-heart connection. I, Deepa, the host travel around the world telling stories woven with music & dance, training teachers on story-arts based learning & also sharing my thoughts in journals, conferences and TEDx Talks.

Season 1 Episode 2

"By The Bonfire", envisaged as a space for sharing back with the world, what I've received from life: simple things like the joy of art, the pleasure of expression and the comfort of heart-to-heart connection. Here is an attempt to offer you the nostalgia of the bonfire, where we'd gather together under the night sky, around the glowing warmth, with our family & friends or maybe just our curious selves. A space that could offer solace & childhood joys; of listening to stories, of discovering a book or a film, of chatting up with friends both new & old, and of humming along to melodies.

This podcast is hosted by yours truly: I've travelled across the world & my country India narrating stories woven with music & dance, I train teachers on how to use storytelling in learning, and also share my thoughts in journals, conferences and platforms such as TEDx Talks. The heart smiles as I invite you to By The Bonfire. Every alternate Thursday, on Spotify or wherever you tune in to podcasts.

In this episode you can listen to the story called the 84th problem, revisit the Hindi language film 'Anand' (1971) and meet with my guest.

As we wrap up the episode, Swagath Sivakumar soothes the spirits with his song ' Man laga yaar fakiri mein '. The words of saint poet Kabir, come alive in this rendering filled with beauty and love.

Swagath is a student and apprentice at the Kabir Project at Srishti Institute of Arts, Design and Technology. As he grapples with his own difficulties, he enjoys sharing poetry and folk-philosophy which he finds personally insightful.
His audio book - The story of an NRI father and daughter, and how a poem of Kabir's influences the strained relationship between them - is now available on YouTube: https://youtu.be/bHCsaVFZXYg.
