Malido Reading Rood x India Love Project Present: Love Zindbad, a sit down with Mehak Jamal, author of Lōal Kashmir.

​Malido Reading Room, in collaboration with India Love Project, invites you to an evening of real-life stories that explore the many shades of love, longing, and loss.

​In this intimate edition, ILP co-founder Priya Ramani sits down with Mehak Jamal, author of Lōal Kashmir, a hauntingly beautiful collection of 16 true stories from the Valley. These are not just stories of romance—they are narratives of quiet defiance, memory, heartbreak, and the enduring human capacity for connection in even the most complex landscapes.

​Together, Priya and Mehak will reflect on what it means to write and reclaim love in the Indian context today—especially from a place like Kashmir, where public and private lives are often in tension. Expect a conversation that is gentle, honest, and deeply human.

​Come early to settle in with a drink, and stay after for dinner and continued conversation. Drinks and food will be available to purchase throughout the evening.

​Limited Seating. Seating not guaranteed.

​One RSVP only admits one person. In case you have others who want to join you, please ask them to sign up!
