Sometimes we need to tell our parents that they are doing a good job!

Meenakshi Menon discusses with Tarana Raja about the complicated ways parents see themselves and how children experience them very differently.

Tarana shares how her mother Madhu Raja often feels she failed as a mother because she had to step into the role of both parents. But for Tarana, her mother gave her the greatest gifts possible: food, shelter, security and unwavering support.

“I come with great confidence because she has always had my back.”

This episode is a reflection on sacrifice, survival, identity and rediscovering joy after years of responsibility.
