The Vinamre Kasanaa Show
All your life, you have been asked to limit yourself. "Beta, follow the rules." "Speak in a low voice." "Don't pursue your dreams." You're fed up. You want access. You don't want someone else to tell you what kind of conversations to have. Or who to listen to. Or what is taboo. You want independence. Every Monday, join poet and conversationalist Vinamre Kasanaa as he dissects the habits, routines, and quirks of some of India's most creative and fearless personalities, many of whom stand at the boundary of what is acceptable. If you are creative, rebellious, or just curious, this is the podcast for you.
