  • School
    Mar 8 2026

    School is an emotional and thought-provoking Indian audio story that explores the delicate and often unspoken realities faced by young girls while growing up. At the heart of the story is Aditi, a bright and ambitious student whose life revolves around classrooms, friendships, dreams, and the quiet expectations placed upon her. But within the familiar corridors of her school, a single day begins to unravel emotions she has never faced before. Between whispered judgments, uncomfortable silences, and the invisible pressures of society, Aditi finds herself confronting a reality that many girls experience but few openly talk about — menstrual stigma and the fragile dignity of adolescence. Set against the everyday environment of an Indian school, this story gently unfolds the emotional world of a young girl navigating embarrassment, courage, and the desire to be understood."School" invites listeners to pause, reflect, and listen to a story that speaks about empathy, awareness, and the quiet strength it takes to grow up. Listen to the story and step into a moment that many lives have silently carried.

  • Expectations
    Feb 1 2026

    Expectations is a poignant audio story about an Indian woman caught between hope and exhaustion, between what her body can endure and what society relentlessly demands.Through the quiet unraveling of Mrs. Gupta’s life, this narrative explores infertility, PCOS, prolonged bleeding, repeated medical interventions, and the unspoken cruelty of expectations placed on women—by families, marriages, and generations. Each passing month becomes a reminder not only of physical pain, but of social judgment, emotional isolation, and the fear of being deemed incomplete. Set within familiar domestic spaces and everyday conversations, Expectations reveals how silence can become heavier than words and how waiting itself can feel like drowning. It is a story about motherhood that never arrives, homes that never fully belong to women, and the quiet violence of being measured by what one can or cannot produce.When hope is heavier than grief!

  • Death Wish
    Jan 18 2026

    Death Wish is a deeply moving audio story about love that defies social definitions, about care that slowly turns into an unbearable weight, and about a father standing alone at the edge of his own limits. Raising a differently abled daughter as a single father is not a journey marked by milestones or triumphs—it is shaped by quiet routines, unspoken fears, and moments where love demands more than one knows how to give. From childhood to adulthood, from innocence to bodily changes that neither father nor daughter fully understands, this story explores caregiving not as duty, but as devotion. Through subtle observations, silences, and emotionally charged moments, Death Wish examines menstruation, disability, gendered care, and the unacknowledged emotional labour of fathers who step into roles society never prepared them for. A quiet, unsettling, and compassionate narrative—Death Wish invites listeners to confront the spaces we rarely speak about but live inside every day.
