Kaam ya Aaraam? Is that a gendered question?

While the rest of us are watching #TheGreatIndianKitchen , we thought we will go to a real one. This audio story then, straight from ours to yours.

The year is 2020. A mother and daughter meet again during lockdown. A pot of milk keeps boiling over. The kitchen becomes fraught, angry, memories are triggered.

A mother and daughter meet again during lockdown. The kitchen becomes the place they see each other, as if for the first time. The rest of the house, carries on.

Listen to this one part documentary, one part memoir, in our Kaam Ya Aaraam episode. Part of The Third Eye’s “Work” edition.
