text:  As I read Zahra Chowdhury's new memoir, The Lucky Ones, the real toll of that time came into clear focus. Zahra was a teenager when the train burned, and her memoir takes us deep into the lives of her extended family as they struggled to survive what came after the Gordra train burning. Zahra Chowdhury joins me now. Zahra, welcome. Thank you so much for having me and for making space to talk about this book.
