Expectations is a poignant audio story about an Indian woman caught between hope and exhaustion, between what her body can endure and what society relentlessly demands.Through the quiet unraveling of Mrs. Gupta’s life, this narrative explores infertility, PCOS, prolonged bleeding, repeated medical interventions, and the unspoken cruelty of expectations placed on women—by families, marriages, and generations. Each passing month becomes a reminder not only of physical pain, but of social judgment, emotional isolation, and the fear of being deemed incomplete. Set within familiar domestic spaces and everyday conversations, Expectations reveals how silence can become heavier than words and how waiting itself can feel like drowning. It is a story about motherhood that never arrives, homes that never fully belong to women, and the quiet violence of being measured by what one can or cannot produce.When hope is heavier than grief!
