About this listen

Nandini seems to have it all–a loving husband, a beautiful home and a fulfilling job. But a child is missing from their lives. One day, her friend tells her about a development–one that will make her life complete. Soon, Nandini and Gaurav receive their gift. But life works in surprising ways.

In this dark unsettling tale, Preeti Shenoy leaves us with a story that haunts you long after you finish.
