Listen "Ep. 175: Running a Community Kitchen: A Chat with Paritosh & Pooja from Feeding From Far"
Episode Synopsis
This is one of the most uplifting things you will hear during these times!The second of our coronavirus-related episodes is a special one, and the first interview we've done in a while.We chat with Paritosh Pant & Pooja Reddy, who run a community kitchen in one of Mumbai's poorest areas during the pandemic. We talk about how they went about setting it up, the challenges they faced, how they recruited people and of course, how the community reacted and helped. With tales of how even poor people look out for each other, especially those worse off than even themselves. It's a very from-the-ground narrative that cuts across everything you hear on TV and social media, and is, if nothing else, a massively heartening. As of Apr 22, they fed close to 2 lakh mealsWe loved this chat with them - rockstars, as we said in our post-recording chat - and we hope you like it too. We hope you'll excuse the audio quality - apart from recording while scattered, Paritosh was actually running the kitchen while we recorded!Follow Feeding From Far's updates here: https://www.instagram.com/feedingfromfar/Support what they do and donate to feed Mumbai's vulnerable communities here: https://www.ketto.org/fundraiser/FeedingfromfarForCoronaMeet your hosts aka The Ultracrepidarians!Chuck | Naren | Srikeit | TonyInstagram: @chuckofalltrades | @shenoynv | @srikeit | @notytonyTwitter: @chuck_gopal | @shenoyn | @srikeit | @notytonySay hello and tell us what you think!
