City Notice - The Delhi Walla on Radio France

City Notice – The Delhi Walla on Radio France

Now in Paris.

[By Mayank Austen Soofi]

The year 2014 ends with a lovely note. Thousands of Parisians tuned in to The Delhi Walla. I was interviewed by Radio France. The long documentary on Delhi was the brainchild of Michel Pomarede, a Paris-based radio producer. The aim of his programme, as he told me, was to draw “a portrait of a city as a world… a world as intimate as possible.”

Mr Pomarede also talked to a few other Delhiwallas including author Malvika Singh and graphic novelist Sarnath Bannerjee. (But the show begins and ends with me and I’m in between too!)

France is the homeland of Marcel Proust, my most beloved author. This makes this radio documentary an event in my life.

You may hear the programme here.
