Meet your host
Hi 👋🏼 I’m Deepak Rana, your literary companion. When I’m not soaking in the Himalayan vibes, you’ll find me either nose-deep in a book or scribbling away. Rumour has it that I once tried to have a conversation with my bookshelf, but it turned out they’re more into silent stories. So, I switched on the mic and started this show.
