  • Why?

    Adds no real value to the case, brings negligible new insights. It’s nothing but some spice addition to an already spicy chaat.

  • Please, don’t let this be the end!

    This was so engaging that I wish there was more! I loved the insights of both women. I loved learning about Pakistan in the 60s and 70s, and how societal norms have (or haven’t) evolved since then. This was truly fascinating. I would love for them to tackle more stories!
