WingsAuthor: Asha & Milind Agnihotri
Year 1991 marked the beginning of a New India, a year that kick started a democratisation process of a new kind, one that rode the waves of Internet, Television Broadcast Networks & Mobile Telecommunications. This has shaped a new generation of youth deeply anchored in Indian values yet having global aspirations, a cohort for whom the world is a playground. The Wings podcast is an attempt to bring forth stories of these youth where they share how they see themselves and the world they inhabit, their hopes and fears, their dreams and aspirations. It's an attempt to 'discover the extraordinary in the ordinary' and is driven by a belief that the future is born in the web of human conversations'.The storytellers in the Wings Podcast are Young Indians from across socio-economic strata, from urban and semi-urban India, ones who have found their own Wings or are in the process of discovering them with an aim to take them far and wide.Podcast Creators: Asha & Milind Agnihotri.Podcast Host: Milind Agnihotri.

S5E7: Pilgrimage
Episode 7
Thursday, 16 July, 2026
Merriam-Websters dictionary defines ‘pilgrimage’ as a journey to a shrine or a sacred place with words such as travel, trek, journey, voyage being synonyms. In simple terms though it brings together a path, a traveller, a goal and a call to adventure. Many a discoveries await the one who responds to this call. For some - achieving the goal is significant whereas for some it’s the journey that matters. Irrespective of nature of pilgrimage, what experiences and (in)sights awaits a pilgrim? What questions do they trigger? How does it satiate one’s feeling of curiosity and wonder?To explore this subject, here’s a conversation with Manjiri Latey, an outdoor aficionado and a wild-lifer having spent most of her life travelling and working in forests, mountains and in the plains. Through her solo pilgrimages like - El Camino de Santiago Compostela across North-Western Spain, Adi-Kailash Yatra in the Himalayas, Pancha Bhoota Sthalam in South India and through her community volunteering work in parts of Asia, Central & South America, Manjiri brings forth unique possibilities for anyone seeking meaning & fulfilment though embodied work.
