Description

What happens when silence shapes who we become? In this episode, Bhavika Govil joins us to talk about her debut novel, Hot Water, and the private world of Indian families.



We discuss children’s rush to grow up, the different ways kids and adults experience the same moments, and the quiet strength of sibling bonds. We also reflect on the gendered expectations placed on little boys and girls, and how these shape their futures.



Tune in for an honest, heartfelt conversation about childhood, family, and growing up in India.
