Hi Aridusan,
great rendition, deep voice (which really makes a difference) and excellent explanation of lines.
Love it when you take references of the lines of Madhushala and relate them to 2020 pandemic situation.
I was looking for Osho, when I stumbled upon this podcast, Madhushala, it happens to be one of Bhacchan’s best works and my favourites. I got hooked onto it within 5 mins. Almost finishing the Season as I write to this review.
I see you are in Bengaluru. Would love to catch up ... more

Ariji: What a beautiful rendition! It does complete justice to the poetry.. equally riveting are the anecdotes around Dr. Bachchan! I am not on Twitter, but really think you should share this with Dr. Bachchan’s son via Twitter.. great job!
Apple Podcasts5Antimony77566United States5 years ago - Interactive approach: Making this interesting
The music and interactive approach makes it engaging. Difficult to be distracted while listening this. It’s just the right balance of narration and the story-line and anecdotes. One word: Mesmerising! We need to hear more of these.. 😀

Good to see this podcast. I have heard all 7 episodes. I have also been a deep listener of Madhushala. Though primarily the ones sung by Manna Dey. I like your reading style and the fact you don’t explain too much. I like you narrating incidents related to the poetry.. keep it going!
