Bioscope - Marathi Stories with Rima Amarapurkar Trailer Oct 07, 2019

Show notes

Everybody loves a good story!!!

Since time immemorial, we humans have been fans of good stories.. We love listening to stories, watching stories and telling stories, which may be entertainment, mythology, value education, or plain simple gossip…

Our brains are instinctively wired to learn through stories and pass on this information or knowledge to others..

That’s why cavemen told stories through their cave drawings… Stories of valour, bravery and survival… all through wall drawings in caves…

As language developed, the holy scriptures like Ramayana and Mahabharata came to the fore, which not only entertained the masses through their narrative, but also imbibed religious, cultural and moral values among people through their multi layered storytelling… They gave societies role models…

So did the folklore and Moral Stories… stories of do’s and dont’s….

Keertans were a common entertainment medium, through which the keertankaars would not only give value education to people, through religious story narrations, but also make statements about the social evils and how people can live the good holy life…

Till early 18thCentury, stories in India were limited only as means of religious, mythological patriotic and philosophical outreach… However, with exchange of literature between Indian languages and the west, Indian authors realised that Contemporary Living can also be a wonderful source of stories…

And then there was no looking back… Over the years, thousands of writers from all walks of life started writing about their life stories in different forms… Thus Indian literature developed a new zeal of transporting a reader into a land unknown and experiencing life through the eyes of the author…

That is the best part about stories… They let you live a thousand experiences without really leaving your seat…

In India, the experiences that stories give becomes even more vibrant with multilingual, multicultural experiences joining hands through translations…

Marathi is one such language which publishes maximum literature… original Marathi literature and also literature translated from other languages…

However, with advent of digital age, the out reach of books has slowly begun to diminish, but the writing of stories continues… there are many writers today whose writings reflect the contemporary socio politico and economic phase that the Indian society is going through… These writers tell their stories in their own style… They give us an experience of a slice of life which we would otherwise never know exists…

We at Ep.Log Media, present “Bioscope”, a weekly show in which through dramatic reading of Marathi stories written by various writers in different parts of Maharashtra we want to bring to the Marathi audience from world over the experience of contemporary living in Maharashtra… different lifestyles, characters and incidents that spark a thinking and understanding of not only the society but also the human nature singularly and collectively…

Rima Sadashiv Amarapurkar, an award winning film maker, a writer, a film preservationist, a voracious reader and a firm believer in the power of story telling, will be curating and narrating the stories. Rima has been rooted in rural Maharashtra through her work on gender sensitisation and capacity building in the rural youth. She has experienced the change that a good story can make to the life of a listener, and now wants to bring this experience to the world of Marathi Podcast.
