What will you do if you were so beautiful that people never distrust you?
What will you do if your beauty was perpetual…if you never aged a day?
अगर आपकी सुंदरता की वजह से लोग आपकी हर गलती को अनदेखा कर देतें हैं, तो क्या आप इसका नाजायज़ फायदा नहीं उठाएंगे?
और अगर आपकी सुंदरता कभी ढले ही नहीं, तो क्या आप अपने innocence को बरक़रार रख पाएंगे?
If you haven’t read “The Picture of Dorian Gray” by Oscar Wilde, you should read it.
If you have read it and haven’t figured it out, you probably read it when you were too young.
If you have read and understood it - I’d love to hear your thoughts, but before sending them in, do listen to mine.

In this episode, I tell you the story of this amazingly philosophical, possibly autobiographical story by Oscar Wilde, the writer who helped me figure out why art will always be felt and never understood.

अगर आपने Oscar Wilde की story "The Picture of Dorian Gray" नहीं पढ़ी है, तो इसे ज़रूर पढ़ें।
अगर आपने इस पढ़ा है और समझ नहीं पाए, तो इसकी वजह शायद यह है की जब आपने इसे पढ़ा, तो आप बहुत young थे।
और अगर आपने इसे पढ़ा भी हैं, और समझा भी, तो मुझसे अपनी thoughts share करिये, पर इस episode को सुनने के बाद।

Note: This is a longer episode, but I didn’t want to break the story into two…I felt that it’s spirit would be lost if I did that or if I shortened it in any way.

About the Tab Se Ab Tak Podcast:

This show tells stories from the World Mythology (mostly Hindu, Greek, Egyptian, Sumerian, and far-eastern mythologies,) and World History (mostly Indian, European, American,) and shares the folklore from around the world. This podcast, which is hosted by writer, speaker, and story-teller Shafali Anand, is mostly in Hindi with a sprinkling of English, (but the "Little Nothings" episodes are in Hinglish,) and it deals with several dimensions of motivation, inspiration, and also touches upon spirituality. It covers topics such as life and death, love and heartbreaks, personal relationships, pursuit of happiness, success and failure etc.

If you want to lose yourself into a world of mythological, historical, and sometimes fictional stories, interpreted to answer the questions you find yourself wrestling with...and you know Hindi, put your headphones on, and step in.
