Open mic, Asiatic Society of Mumbai steps 2023.
The Open Mic yesterday at the Asiatic Society of Mumbai saw many poets share their English, Urdu, and Marathi poetry. Thank you Raamesh G. Raghavan for inviting me to co-host and to Nobby Pariyaram. Those iconic steps! I am glad I met the student-poets of Maniben Nanavati Women’s College, prior to my poetry workshop with them on the 31st. A good precursor to voice. A fun evening.
