	Description:		Daira \| Written by Javed Siddiqi \| Voice Sher Tookhi* Curator: Irfan---Our distinguished narrator for today’s episode on Listen with Irfan - is Sher Tookhi. Originally from Afghanistan and a Virginia resident for over four decades, Sher is a remarkable individual whose love for storytelling transcends language, geography, and time. A warm and inspiring person, as well as a valued friend on Facebook, Sher resides in the U.S. while maintaining a deep connection to the literary and cinematic heritage of South Asia. His vibrant presence enriches our Read Aloud Collective, and we’re delighted to feature his voice tonight too. For this episode, Sher has selected ‘Daira’, a moving story by Javed Siddiqi of Shatranj Ke Khiladi fame. We are thrilled to have Sher bhai bring this story alive for our listeners. Sher Tookhi is more than a reader - he’s a passionate bibliophile, filmbuff and a poet-storyteller who connects cultures, eras, and emotions. It’s a privilege to have him join our collective for this special episode.
