Welcome back to the IKKIVI Podcast!In this episode, we’re joined by Daribha Lyndem, civil servant, writer, and storyteller, whose debut book Name Place Animal Thing weaves together memory, place, and identity with striking intimacy and nuance. Set in Shillong, the book captures the quiet complexities of growing up in a world marked by cultural transitions and personal awakenings.We talk to Daribha about her creative journey, what drew her to storytelling in its many forms, and the memories that shape the stories we choose to tell.
