In this delightful and thought-provoking episode, author Anuradha Marwah takes us on a journey through her novel, Aunties of Vasant Kunj. Don’t be misled by the title—these women are anything but conventional. From Buddhist chanting to activism and a fondness for fermented drinks, they redefine sisterhood in the heart of Delhi.

A rebellious free spirit, a single romance-teaching professor at Delhi University, and a quintessential housewife form an unlikely bond—woven together by the book’s fourth character: Vasant Kunj itself. With wit, warmth, and unflinching honesty, Anuradha unpacks the struggles of middle-class women, challenging the loaded term aunty and everything it represents.

In this conversation with Mohua, they explore the highs and lows of womanhood—where love often comes at the cost of ‘a pound of flesh,’ leaving women fighting to hold onto themselves. With humor and poignancy, Anuradha reminds us that even in life’s darkest moments, there’s always comedy hiding in the tragedy.

Tune in for a laugh-out-loud yet deeply moving discussion on resilience, sisterhood, and the power of finding your tribe. If you love Delhi, this episode is a must-listen!
