My Ama’s Concert
My Ama’s Concert is an upcoming audio podcast that uses the story of my mother- her childhood, her struggles, her survival, her joy- to examine the structural realities faced by women across India.
What a Mother’s Memory Reveals About Us All.
My Ama’s Concert makes my mother’s life an entry point into understanding wider themes of gender, generational memory, care work, economic pressure, silence, resilience and the private worlds women build for themselves. Through intimate narrative, the podcast asks a central question:
What does an ordinary woman’s life reveal about a country?
Format
The podcast blends documentary audio, interviews, archival memory and reflective writing.
It moves between personal story and structural analysis, combining immersive sound with research-driven journalism.
Why This Story?
My Ama’s Concert is both a tribute and a political record. It is a study of one mother and a story of many women whose lives rarely enter the public archive. By situating personal memory within structural realities, the series seeks to document what is often invisible- everyday endurance, private grief, the labour of care, the weight of unspoken expectations and the forms of strength that ordinary women carry quietly through their lives.
