A lot has happened in India and globally in the past two months and I had stopped reading and working on my podcast till I opened the book The Veiled Suite, a collection of poems by Agha Shahid Ali. It brought me to tears reading about the passing away of Begum Akhtar and another poem on the atrocities we never see which happen in Kashmir. I read the 2 poems in this podcast titled 'I see Kashmir from New Delhi at Night' and 'I Dream I Am the Only Passenger on Flight 423 to Srinagar'.
