Founder of Daak, the beautiful writing of letters to a post box in Lahore in an attempt to bridge the conversation between the people of our two countries garnered immense support. That is when I met Amy online. I looked her up and I wrote to her. We kept in touch ever since.

Amy, teacher, writer, poet, activist. A young woman of today’s times. She throws herself wholeheartedly into what she believes requires her to lean in.

I’ve seen her online presence and her protest against NRC and CAA with her writing, showing up at gatherings and reading her poems for equal opportunity for all. Always graceful, always thoughtful, always focused on solutions.

There’s a playful, youthful side of Amy that you get to see online as well, a romantic, funny girl who adores life in all its chaos. It was this that drew me to reach out to her.

During #lockdown I checked in with her a couple of times, we even did an Instagram live session together. I told her about the podcast I was planning and she politely declined to say she had no compelling saree story to narrate yet. And then there was silence. No replies to my messages over another project we had discussed. Nothing.

She came back a couple of weeks later and wrote that she was ready to record the podcast. I was surprised that she now had a saree story to share. What had made her change her mind in the silence that had ensued from the last time we had connected?

A deeply personal sharing by Amy Singh this podcast is a must-listen for what Amy leaves us with to think about.

Please make the time to listen. Do share.
