What does it take for a prickly girl surrounded by a conservative religious Bihari society to turn into a confident prickly woman, when her mother worries about the safety and societal acceptability of her 'different' daughter, every day of her life? Prerna grew up fighting minor everyday battles with her parents (who she loves very much). At 18, She put her foot down to leave a university her parents already paid for, to follow her dream of pursuing mechanical engineering. The decision changed the trajectory of her forever. A decade and a half later, she heads a luxury retail brand for a living- something she believes only happened, because of her first adult rebellion.
Alas, roles seem to have reversed now between her and her parents. Tune in to find out how.
Note: Episode contains intermittent use of Hindi and some engineering acronyms Indian students grow up assuming everyone else's life also revolves around🙈
Eg: AIEEE (All India engineering entrance exam), E&TC (electronics and telecom), NIT (National institute of technology) etc.
