Ibnebatuti - Part 2

from Under the Banyan Tree - For the love of stories · host Mousumi Rao

Ibenbatuta was actually a Moroccan explorer. Someone with wheels on his feet. A wanderer. A nomad. He loved to travel, meet new people, gain new experiences.  What is Ibnebatuti got to do with this story? It is the story of Shalu Awasthi, who was once a 20 year old girl, studying at Hindu College, doing street shows and enjoying doing drama in various streets, villages and cities. She was someone who could not remain idle. She was Ibnebatuti - and how she had transformed herself to reach a place in life, where she had stopped.  Ibnebatuti is a beautiful story of mother and son. Their relationship. Their Lucknowi andaaz of speech. Their little fights, their many make ups. The story touched a raw nerve when it came to pass that Shalu's son, Raghav was preparing to leave to study at Stanford University.  Who was Shalu? What was her story? Does Raghav, the son understand the mother or does he understand the young girl of 20?  Listen to the story of Raghav & his mother, Shalu through this humble narration.
