Pu La's Vyakti aani Valli sketch of Antu Barva is in many ways, a meeting of the urban and the rural. Ratnagiri's Antu Barva is quick to make his opinions known, and speaks from direct experience. Vineet, Bhupal and Dhruv unweave the ground truth of the politics of a newly independent India as seen through Antu Barva's eyes, and reflect on some of the moving lines in Pu La's writing that continue to hover in the mind days after listening to it. They also discuss what the rural mindset can teach us even today, decades after Antu Barva's mango tree delivered its last fruit, in a world increasingly filled with smart speakers powered by AI.

PL Deshpande - a doyen of Marathi literature. But what happens when three friends who know him differently sit to discuss his work?

Meet Vinit, the expert. He's grown up listening to PL. Then there's Bhupal... he's heard enough PL to know what's going on, but is open to knowing more. And then there's Dhruv... he's, well... the novice! And he's hearing most of this for the first time. 

It's a journey of learning, discovery, new perspectives and continued awe of the great man's works.
