The Podcast
Kavinaama believes that literature is a reflection of its time and society. The two are in a constant dialogue, shaping and reflecting one another as time passes. Kavinaama celebrates poetry from the Indian subcontinent. By placing famous works within it's own historical and cultural context, we believe we can discover cultural truths that benefit us all.
Meet The Team
Kshitij Kawatra
'm a co-host with Burair at Kavinaama, where we delve into the deeper layers of poetry, couplets, and stories. Together, we explore their cultural, historical, and philosophical contexts — unpacking the emotions and ideas woven into each line.
What excites me most is the process of dissecting a poem layer by layer: starting with the language, then peeling back to reveal the poet's personal quirks, influences, and intentions. Sometimes, we might miss the mark or interpret it differently, but that’s part of the charm. We embrace the ambiguity, knowing that even when we get it wrong, we offer our audience a fresh perspective and a meaningful exploration.
Burair Ashary
I’m the co-host of Kavinaama, bringing the perspective of a curious enthusiast. I may not always understand every complex metaphor or classical reference, but that’s what makes this journey exciting. I ask the questions our listeners might be wondering, and I get to learn alongside them. What excites me most is discovering the deeper meanings behind these beautiful verses—and how they still resonate so strongly today.
