In this weekly episode of Kitabwala, Saurabh Dwivedi interviews Vyomesh Shukla, an author and artist who hails from his loved city Banaras. Varanasi, a city that is home to three schools of arts - Kathak, Tabla and Gayaki. This book titled, Aag aur Pani by Vyomesh starts off by the mention of Tulsidas, Ganga and gives us an idea about the Varanasi of the 18th, 19th, 20th centuries. The prominent figures, known to have their roots in Varansi, like Kabir, Ustad Bismillah Khan, the contention between the Hindi legend Bhartendu Harischandra & Dayanand Saraswati; the anecdotes are enriching, like how Rajnarain broke the statue of Queen Victoria, tales of bluntness of Pandit Kishan Maharaja, Lachhu Maharaj, Nagri Pracharini Sabha and many more. Delve into this enriching conversation which touches upon the different time periods of the magnificent city, Varanasi.
