In this podcast Taimur shares with us his journey to finding the love of his life, his passion and how he continues to live with this passion turned  addiction. He delightfully shares with us his favorite authors and poets in the Subcontinent, with Gulzar Saab being his most favorite. Taimur gives us pointers on how identity is really formed when we have a close connection with our mother tongue, how we can make  tiny efforts to keep our language alive.
