In this episode of The Reading List, author and mental health advocate Amrita Tripathi joins us to discuss “The Other Sister”, a novel that gently explores the emotional weight of modern life—anxiety, identity, belonging, family dynamics, and the growing influence of social media. It’s a heartfelt, insightful conversation on how literary fiction helps us voice what’s often left unsaid, and how mental health stories are beginning to find their place in India’s cultural and literary landscape.
If you’ve ever struggled to put your inner world into words, this episode is a reminder that you’re not alone—and that stories can help light the way.
