Kataee

My mother’s hometown is Bhopal. Hailing from a conservative Sindhi joint family she had never seen the world outside her city until she was married to my father in Delhi.

Not only was she in an alien house and a new family but also in a city that she knew nothing of. I remember her sharing stories of her innocent struggles… how she was unsure of the things kept in the kitchen or what would be the right way to address her mother-in-law. Even making a personal bond with her extended in-laws seemed was a grinding task.

Sakhi stems from that anxiousness of discovering a new home after marriage. The sweet journey of building delicate relationships and the joys of finding oneself all over again.
