    This is actually an interpretation and presentation of The legend of lord Krishna in much acclaimed formet of storytelling known as Dastangoi.

    Each dastan includes an important and significant event from the life of lord Krishna, it's relevance in present times and finally it's essence in poetic form.


    Each dastan has been encapsulated in one episode with an approximate audio time of 5 minutes.

  • 21 - S3E10: Oonch Neech Ka Papda

    Oonch Neech ka Paapda!

    Did this name evoke some nostalgia? If yes, good. You had an awesome childhood playing those games that gave you such ever-evolving opportunities that are simply not possible when sitting in front of a screen. If you don’t trust me, listen to this story and find out how Tamkeen Bhai, an old man from Old Delhi learned a bitter reality of this life from watching kids playing ‘oonch neech ka paapda’. He finds the parable of this worldly life, that starts young, then matures and then turns old and feeble; all spent in mutual competition with each other. Listen to the story and mark the wonderful contrast of tender childhood and fragile old age, while finding many similarities too from the lens of an old man.

  • 20 - S3E9: Kachnaar Ki Kali

    When it comes to health matters, people seem to become more proactive nowadays than ever; so much so that they are ready to pay premium prices if needed to achieve their goals. Good, of course! However, the irony is, as somebody said, “people are fed by the food industry which pays no attention to health, and are treated by the health industry, which pays no attention to food. ‘kachnar ki kali’ is a humour-filled sarcasm on the current food industrialization. Listen to this interesting story and find out how the idea of turning bauhinia plant buds (otherwise eaten as a curry) into a nutraceutical takes an entertaining turn at the end.

  • 19 - S3E8: Kuch Zayqey

    If you are somebody for whom life's most intimate details come flooding back at the sight, smell, and taste of particular foods; ‘Kuch Zayqey’ is for you. Listen to this food nostalgia from the lanes of Old Delhi to find out how the merest sniff of childhood delicacies is enough to paint the vivid pictures of the ‘time gone by’ in the writer’s mind. The story is not just a nostalgic account of childhood indulgences; it also highlights how food memories are special. The writer sketches food memories in a way that proves that food memories are more sensory than any other memory. The story casually conveys that involvement with food is not limited to the taste buds only. In fact, it involves all five senses of vision, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. So, next time when you eat something, immerse yourself in the stimulus with all your senses to add that extra layer of richness to your food memory so that you can also create a story.
