Albert Aur Uska Jahaz | Writer Keith Waterhouse | Narrator Sushil Suman

Albert Aur Uska Jahaz | Writer Keith Waterhouse | Translated in Hindi by Sudha Arora | Narrator Sushil Suman**

Born in 1987 in the village of Dharampur Jarang in Bihar’s Vaishali district, Sushil’s early education began in his hometown before he moved to the historic city of Varanasi. There, he pursued his BA, MA, and Ph.D. in Hindi literature from Banaras Hindu University, residing in the city’s vibrant literary and cultural milieu from 2004 to 2015.
Since 2016, he has been serving as an Assistant Professor in the Hindi Department at Koch Bihar Panchanan Burma University in West Bengal.
Sushil’s fascination with the world of sound traces back to his childhood days, spent listening to BBC’s news broadcasts and Vividh Bharti’s entertainment programs on the radio.
Though traditional radio gradually gave way to digital platforms like YouTube and Spotify in his life, his enduring love for voices and narratives remained constant. Over the years, he has often read his favorite poems among friends, but this marks his first formal foray into storytelling.
We’re thrilled to have him as part of our collective, and we look forward to hearing the textures of his voice and the stories he chooses to share.
