Welcome…
To Zubaan-e-Hayat.
The tongue of life.
Or perhaps… the tongue that life tried to silence.”
“I don’t have a name here.
Or maybe, I do—
But I’m choosing not to wear it.
This space is for words that don’t ask for permission.
Thoughts that never made it past the throat.”
“This isn’t just a podcast.
It’s a whisper.
A reckoning.
A home for everything that doesn’t fit the filters,
Or the expectations of what a woman should be, sound like, or say.”
“I will talk about healing—not the pretty kind.
But the kind that stains,
That asks you to sit with what’s broken,
That doesn’t demand you become beautiful before you are believed.”
“We will speak about identity—
Not just names, languages, or where we come from—
But who we become
When the world forgets to see us at all.”
“This podcast will talk about being a woman.
Not the romanticized version.
But the reality.
The shame.
The pride.
The fear.
The softness we are punished for.
The power we are not taught to hold.”
“Some episodes will be reflections.
Some—spoken letters.
Others, just silence with a few sentences stitched in.
It’s messy here.
But it’s honest.”
“This is your space too.
Even if you never say a word.”
“So if you’ve ever felt like your story wasn’t loud enough,
Or you needed a place to fall apart in peace…
You’ve found it.”
“This is Zubaan-e-Hayat.
And this…
Is only the beginning.”
