In this episode, I read a couple of different pieces - excerpts from an essay by Zadie Smith called "Something to do" and a nazm by Faiz Ahmed Faiz called "Kuch ishq kiya, kuch kaam kiya". This is a rather unique episode and a unique pairing. But both of these pieces came to me this week and I couldn't help but connect the dots. It is an experimental episode, one I hope you will like. It is an attempt to understand the significance of time, what constitutes a good definition for work and what does Love have anything to do with either. I doubt you haven't asked these questions of yourself at some point in time. Here's an attempt at stringing together some answers from the stellar artists featured today!
