I’m always struck by how writing finds me when it needs to. There’s chatter amongst the extended family to plan a trip to Uzbekistan and then I see this essay and the three preceding it!

What a sumptuous telling this is, Ila. I’ve been drawn to the Silk Route since I first learnt of it in school. Your descriptions and photos make it come alive and how. Thank you for writing it.

Thanks for the kind words Deepika! Hope you get to make the trip soon and experience Uzbekistan for yourself :)
