What is Ep7 Finding Art In Bureaucracy & The Renaissance Man That Was Salil Chowdhury about?

Every revolution evaporates and leaves behind only the slime of a new bureaucracy. —Franz Kafka We don't take such a dim view. There's more to bureaucracy than the dreary reign of rules, files and approvals. We discuss the portrayal of bureaucracy in popular culture in this episode. We talk and talk – of the dry humour in Yes Minister, about Kafkaesque nightmares, on the satire in Krishan Chander's Jamun Ka Ped , about Harishankar Parsai's vyangya , of Madna in English August or Travancore of T.S. Pillai and the darkness in Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro. Bureaucracy didn't bore us, for sure. In Spotlight, we feature Salil Chowdhury – a true renaissance man whose songs, plays, short stories and music lit up the Indian cultural scene for over four decades. Salil da , as he was popularly known, was more than another film music composer. We pay our tribute to him on his 25th death anniversary. We figured a single episode isn't enough to cover his oeuvre. We will return to him another time. Plus, our usual discussion on what we are reading, listening and watching.
