कविनामा | Kavinaama — Where the subcontinent speaks in verse. A podcast about the poems that shaped a civilization — ghazals, nazms, shayaris, kavitas — in Hindi, Urdu, and Punjabi. Every week, Kshitij (India) and Burair (Pakistan) sit down with a poem. Kshitij brings the history, the context, the cultural roots. Burair brings the questions you're already wondering. Somewhere in the middle, a verse opens up. New episode every Wednesday. Poetry shorts every day. Celebrating Ghalib, Kabir, Faiz, Bulleh Shah — and the poets still writing in their shadow. Listened across India, Pakistan, and the diaspora. 🗓 Live Poetry Nights: meetup.com/kavinaama-poetry-meetup 📚 Sister community: Silent Book Club Long Beach
