Imaginary character sketches set against the backdrop of hypnotic ASMR sounds. A match made in the seductive hallways of hell! I look at pictures of people living in the shadows and imagine their vivid life stories. Private people living private lives. Urban ghosts for whom anonymity is their only friend. Secrecy, a weapon they wield everyday. This is an audio trip that starts from the velvety corners of your curious mind, that reaches the dark crannies of the city's brimming outline.

It's Diwali night! You're feeling lucky. The entire capital is wrapped up like a gift box. Fireworks don the the grey night sky while the city roads are pleasantly deserted. You want to try your luck somewhere but you happen to be buried in debt, from all the games you played the week preceding Diwali. There's still one door you can knock, one table you can sit on and one man who can loan you, your starting 30 chips. His name is Tarsem - New Delhi's Shrewdest Loan Shark. Legend says Tarsem could read your luck just by a gaze into your eyes. If he trusted you with his money, you were either in the luck of your life or about to be clutched into a debt trap from the deepest circles of hell. Tune-in for a walk through the world of Delhi's gambling dens, hidden in plain-sight behind locked doors and secret passages. Narrated by Jubin Jose. Cover photo by Harshil Bhardwaj.
