About this listen

 In City of Women, we explore the calculated strategies, backdoor negotiations, and often absurd lengths women go to have fun and feel free in their city. Every Indian woman knows that being out in the city comes with rules - rules that determine who gets to be where and what you can and can't do. But this show is not about those rules. It's about how they get broken, bent, and jumped over when women decide to do things just for themselves. City of Women is fun, complex, and a bit of a joyride into the minds of women and the streets of Bangalore.All Rights Reserved Social Sciences

    An evening wandering the streets of Madurai with Jeevitha where we discussed talking politics with Indian men, the joy of spontaneous trips with friends, and living in one of the world's oldest cities. Oh, and vadas, jasmine/mallipoo flowers, and the great goddess.

    Our thanks to Jeevitha.

    There are gaps in our lives filled with a certain kind of longing. We are biding time as we wait for some version of our future selves to take shape. We fill this period with conversations in our heads or walking - even if we don't particularly like to. And everything is suffused with a sense of boredom.

    Listen on headphones!
