A delightful and thought-provoking conversation with Zeyad Masroor Khan. We discussed his new book, "City on Fire: A Boyhood in Aligarh." Took a trip to the lanes of small town and explored the mysterious world of jinn folk tales, the 90s world of Pran and Raj comics, how cinema influences culture, the conflicts, the curfews, and how humour became a response to dealing with the hardships of life. Tune in!
