IN THIS EPISODE:

• [1:21] Anand Thakore shares about his writing and work. 
• [2:10] We hear the poems Sea Link, My Place and the Kohinoor written and read by Anand.
• [8:40] Avinash Martin discusses his restaurant Cavatina and how he decided to focus the food on Goan cuisine. 
• [9:56] We hear an excerpt from the story Toddy Tails written by Reenita.
• [16:17] Priya Subberwal shares about her book My Voice and how she found out she was adopted. 
• [17:05] We hear an excerpt from My Voice by Priya about her adoption. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Priya decided to write about her journey of finding out she was adopted as an adult as a way to find closure after her parents had passed away. Her story is fantastic for those who have been adopted or for people who are considering adoption. 
• Anand feels that poetry really has to embrace the moment and be very short and brief and make its statement in a short space.
