Namaste New Zealand (8) - Series One, Episode Eight

Television (Full Length Episode) – 2018

We'd like it to be included in the curriculum and be taught to students. Hindi is the third most spoken language in Auckland and fourth in New Zealand.
– Satya Dutt, President of the Hindi Language & Cultural Trust of NZ, at the start of this episode
We have to always think like we're a student, no matter how long you have been playing for. There is no limit to this learning, that's why we consider it to be like God, it's infinite.
– Tabla player Basant Madhur
I went back to buy a furnace and it said $250 plus GST, and I was working on the farm making $4 an hour . . . I went back to buy the furnace and the lady said 'Oh I'm sorry. The price is $1,250, plus GST. We wrongly priced on it.' It shattered my dream, I just walked out of the shop. So I actually came home and built my own small furnace — the same furnace we use in India. It cost me like maybe $10 or so.
– Jeweller Gurdeep Singh, near the end of this episode
