In this episode, we talk about to-do lists, adulting and the sound of the cooker in the background before we start reading to each other. As Madhuri reads from an article by Tishani Doshi "That Thing In Your Belly", the conversation enters into the rituals of grieving, its shapes and sizes that sit with us. Rutika toys around the idea of belonging as she reads a poem by Marie Howe called "Singularity". When it comes to poems, how can there be one? So there is a surprise poem by Anna Akhmatova towards the end. Tune in to find out.
