'Rukkh' is an ode to various poets- heard and unheard, who have given us words to recall, remember and relive. This experimental segment shows a journey of exploration; a collection of well-written Hindustani poetry enveloped and explored in different themes presented in the format of engaging conversations between our members Faria Fatma and Surabhi Ghosh, two friends, avid poetry readers and lovers. With the intention of using poetry to connect and come closer in these challenging times of distancing, we hope you relish this grand plate of poetry presented, narrated and served fruitfully and beautifully. One episode, one month at time, let us sit together and enjoy some chai, some rendezvous, some poetry! Episode - 1 The month of August is a special one for our country.
