‘The 7 Sins of being a Mother’ by Tahira Kashyap Khurrana
A deep dive into the unsaid aspects of motherhood
Published 10.12.21, 07:50 AM
Being a mother is one of the most beautiful experiences in the world. But just like there is a flip side to every coin, motherhood too is not joyful and rewarding all the time. In fact, it comes with an undeniable darker side — one that rarely finds representation in pop culture. In 7 Sins of being a Mother, writer and filmmaker Tahira Kashyap Khurrana shines a light on these unspoken facets of being a mother.
The author draws from her own experiences of motherhood (she has two children with husband Ayushmann Khurrana), and weaves them into the narrative. From the constant guilt that seems to closely follow moms — especially new moms — all the time, to dealing with a nanny to getting her kids to sleep in their own bed, Khurrana’s observations are honest, thoughtful and perceptive.
Published by Juggernaut Books, The 7 Sins of being a Mother scores high on the relatability quotient. Be it talking about the little everyday things to the bigger journeys that a mother has to undertake, the book covers a wide range, engaging the reader with its friendly, conversational tone.
