    3.Happy New Year

    We are machines, stamped out like bottle caps. Even us humans. Only a representative of a type. We started this century with the dream to achieve all that science can and will perhaps end it dreaming of all that science can preserve. This episode of Flatline was written by Amrita Sukrity, voiced and artwork by Divya Tak and Music and production by Charu Tak. Thanks for listening and have a Happy New Year!

    2.Journey of the Magi

    There is a storm outside. Everything that you had learnt of your home is being questioned. Every story that you were told is beginning to have a different ending. The landscapes from your childhood have changed. You were born on roads that were secular. They are now paved with stones, each marked with the name of a different God. There isn't much left to dream about so on sultry winter night, at your childhood home, under the sky full of Christmas stars, you think of marigold farms… This episode of flatline was written by Amrita Sukrity, voiced and artwork by Divya Tak, production by Charu Tak. This is Flatline, and we are sorry for destroying your Christmas. If you are looking for some hope and faith, do read the Ariel Poems especially the Journey of the Magi which is a beautiful poem about seeking the birth of Christ and witnessing the birth of a new religion amid the fragments of older faith. But while you are reading please also read about the Bhagalpur riots of 1989, on which this episode was based, it is quite a relatable story for the times that we live in.

    1. Language is the only homeland

    "For years I could not accept the place I was in. I felt I should be somewhere else. A city, trees, human voices lacked the quality of presence. I would live by the hope of moving on. Somewhere else there was a city of real presence, of real trees and voices and friendship and love. " This episode was based on anthologies of poems by Nobel Laureate; Czeslaw Milosz. It is written by Amrita Sukrity, voiced and artwork by me Divya Tak and Audio production by Charu Tak. Flatline is our attempt to make sense of life through poetry and art, and surrender to a strange silence that they represent. You can email to us at theflatlinepodcast@gmail.com. We would love to hear from you.

    Intro: On Art and Moments of fleeting inspirations.

    We created Flatline as an attempt to explore the quiet in a city filled with white-noise. “Late night, as I lay sleepless In the summer dark With window open to invite a breeze, Softly a firefly flew in.” We created Flatline as an attempt to perhaps share this strange sense of belonging that we all feel in a moment of inspiration, and to allow that inspiration be fleeting. “And circled round the room Twinkling at me from floor or wall Or ceiling, never long in one place But lighting up little spaces… We created Flatline because we continuously needed poetry, to just survive. A friendly presence, dispelling The settled gloom of an unhappy day.” “And after it had gone, I left The window open, just in case It should return.” This episode of flatline is based on poems and notes by Ruskin Bond. It is written by Amrita Sukrity, voiced and artwork by me Divya Tak and Audio production by Charu Tak. Flatline is our attempt to make sense of life through poetry and art; and surrender to a strange silence that they represent.
