Society & Culture
This episode traces how cooking becomes a language of survival, skill, and self-respect in the life of domestic workers navigating Mumbai’s kitchens. Alongside sharing their struggles and aspirations, they also reflect upon their definitions of safety and comfort in a fast-paced city life. The episode becomes a fresh take on being a Mumbaikar even when one doesn’t necessarily call the city home. It reveals how adaptability is not just a culinary skill, but a way of life. We hear another recipe — which is not just a meal but a coming together of resilience and learning.
