Description:
Laila and Manju have been going out for what seems like a lifetime, but Manju’s mother, Poornima, has only just learned about it. In an absurd combination of FOMO, identity crisis and alienation, Poornima worries that her daughter may not be ‘normal’. Was this a result of her laissez faire parenting? Or had the world moved on without her?nHeld back by her Maa-ka-pyaar ('motherly' love), but also kind of propelled by it, Poornima plays the ultimate 'Desi Mother' card: emotional blackmail. M
