This episode of The Mohua Show is a generational punch to the heart.
Author Aarti Narayan, a former MNC executive, tells the story behind her debut novel, The Lives She Carried, inspired by her grandmother, a woman from
pre-Independence Kerala who turned pain into power and raised nine children against impossible odds.
A conversation about what women are taught to endure and what they choose to become.
What this episode is REALLY about
- Not perfection.
- Not heroism.
- Not feminist slogans.
It’s about:
- Generations of women trained to tolerate and give away
- The male genius vs misogyny paradox of old India
- A daughter who ran away to save herself
- The real cost of ambition: when moving to Bombay means no way back
- Survival after losing everything
- Reinventing life with humour, rage and lemon rice
- Why every child should inherit books, not trauma
- If you’ve ever asked, “How did our mothers survive so much?” this episode has answers.
