It feels like a privilege to listen to these two brilliant women speaking about one of last year's biggest films. This deep dive into some of our favourite characters (Sarika omg!!) was so brilliant, and I loved the idea of how curating your memories changes the way you remember and look at life. I think about that at the end of every day.

I absolutely adore the way Arpita is talking about the story, breaking it down, illuminating the character arcs. She owns the story yet she isn't like 'I've written this way; this is what I did here' and all. Rather, she is talking like a spectator, an observer, somebody who is interested in understanding the story in a way that echoes her own individuality. Another remarkable thing: she doesn't care about the limelight, she keeps talking about the director's active role in getting the script right. As a writer, I have learned a lot from this conversation about how a writer communicates. Thank you for this amazing talk!

I watched it just a day after I watched Past lives. The parallels ran so deep, reminded me of one of Jhumpa Lahiri's short stories from the Uncustomed Earth.

I finished watching the movie yesterday and the entire time my eyes were moist. Not necessarily always out of sadness but the delicate approach with which human emotions were dealt with... *chef's kiss* Because I get to hear the stories behind the stories I see on screen, I am realising I'm enjoying and appreciating them more. So, thank you for this!❤

An Amazing podcast!! I really hoped you guys would have also talked about the witch scene from the movie!! I really wanted to know, what did the scene mean from the writer's perspective!

[@vijeta55]

The witch part also portrayed her memory.... In her memory, she was still alive and spoke to her ....

Good writer brilliant writer. But she is anti government and anti Hindu in that order.
