Time leaks. The world will end in 102 days.A message appears on every digital device on Earth: reality is a simulation―and it's shutting down. As the world descends into chaos and eerie “glitches” begin to warp the fabric of existence, five strangers―a jaded journalist, an atheist novelist, a love-struck cabbie, the Prime Minister of India, and a lonely bartender―grapple with the meaning of life, memory, and love in a universe that may not be real.

In this episode of The WIP Show, we sit down with Dr. Aruna Kalra—renowned obstetrician, gynaecologist, and advocate for women's health—to discuss her groundbreaking book, I Want a Boy.Drawing from over 25 years of clinical practice, Dr. Kalra shares powerful real-life patient experiences that shed light on the deep-rooted issue of gender bias and son preference in India. This conversation explores how these cultural pressures continue to shape reproductive decisions across generations, and what it means for women’s autonomy, mental health, and social value.I Want a Boy is more than a book—it’s a heartfelt call for awareness, reflection, and reform. Dr. Kalra speaks with compassion, clarity, and urgency on why this mindset must change.🔸 About Dr. Aruna KalraDr. Kalra is a leading voice in Indian obstetrics and gynaecology, specializing in safe motherhood, high-risk pregnancies, and minimally invasive surgeries. She is also a strong advocate for gender justice and maternal rights.🔸About the BookAn estimated 4-12 million female foetuses have been aborted in the past three decades, and the brutal killings still continue. In an era of technological innovation and evolving social values, one would expect traditional biases to be a thing of the past. Yet, in this compelling narrative, Dr Aruna Kalra, a practising gynaecologist, reveals the persistent and heartbreaking desire for a male child among her patients, showing that deeply ingrained cultural norms still hold strong. Her autobiographical I Want a Boy captures the absurd lengths her patients adopt in their quest for a son. The plea for a male heir resonates everywhere, whether in upmarket maternity homes or in chaotic government hospitals where the author did her three-year residency at the start of her career. This powerful book, peppered with personal anecdotes, is also a commentary on the repeated pregnancies, selective abortions, and outdated rituals for a boy baby that our society endorses, all of which strip women of their self-respect, autonomy, and well-being.Grab a copy: https://amzn.to/4onOu0G👉 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more powerful conversations on The WIP Show.#TheWIPShow #DrArunaKalra #IWantABoy #GenderBias #WomenHealth #India #SonPreference #Podcast #Feminism #MaternalHealth #SocialChange-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------WHO ARE WE?A literary consultancy based in Mumbai, we work with authors and publishers to polish, publish, and promote their books.Know more about us on our website: https://keemiyacreatives.com/ORWrite to us at contact@keemiyacreatives.com
