“Where would we be without those ubiquitous older women who make our lives comfortable and warm and secure.” Zeenat shared that the “Indian aunty is everywhere”. “And she doesn’t even have to be related to you. She provides a shoulder to lean on, an ear to your problems, a hot meal, a silly joke, a welcoming home, a righteous scolding, a pearl of wisdom. When you hear the word “aunty” you can imagine a frumpy nag, or you can truly think about the older women in your life and see what I see.”
