India has been witnessing a massive surge in coronavirus cases for the past month. The second wave of the pandemic has definitely hit us harder and this is a distressing period for us all. More than ever, it's paramount now, that we home hope within us, a hope stronger than the loss and fear we are experiencing.
With this in mind, I am organising an online event (on the 30th of May, 6pm onwards) that brings together poetry, music and performance to raise funds that will then be directed towards various organisations working towards Covid relief.
