"It was a moment of honour when the honourable Chief Minister of Maharashtra Mr Uddhav Thackeray launched my book 'Rage Against The Dying Of The Light.'
I feel extremely privileged, blessed and honoured to be a part of Nair community, and to have the support and encouragement of all my seniors and friends.
Special thanks to Dr Sushma ma’am and Dr Surabhi ma’am and the entire team of Nair Paediatric department for taking great personal effort to see that this event materialises, and to shower their love and blessings."
- Dr Shishir Srivastav

Rediscovering Gandhari During Lockdown
"The stories in mythology – especially two great Indian epics, Ramayana and Mahabharata – were all about the actions of men. As I grew up, I started finding the women in these stories. I realized that they were hidden amongst the actions of the men. As I grew up and became a young professional, the chapters of Mahabharata started rearranging themselves for me. A thought came to my mind: What if the women met together to have a discussion before going to war? I decided to invite five important women to hold court before the war began. It was hard to choose five women – some had little mention in the original story, some were always seen from a male perspective, and most importantly, some were long forgotten. I decided to give them all a chance to speak their minds. I chose to call the women’s story Mahabharatee. The Sanskrit word “bharati” means Indian woman, a knowledgeable woman. The term “mahabharatee” is the epitome of Indian woman. The five women of Mahabharata – Satyavati, Draupadi, Kunti, Gandhari, and Rukmini – depict the true power of Indian women. Therefore, a discussion between them could be referred to as Gita: a perfect dialogue. As the first feminist Gita, Mahabharatee leads where every other philosophy leads: self-realization."

Owing to the strict lockdown conditions, most of us are under the pressure of self-discipline and self-regulation and we feel it would be a good way to open conversation in the community about this topic to encourage living the Gandhari way! Join us as Aditi Banerjee and our beloved author, Shruti Hajirnis Gupte alongwith our super host Creaty Rich help us to see through the eyes of ‘Gandhari’ – a woman of great self-constraint and lead an improved lifestyle to keep ourselves safe and sound amidst the pandemic.
