Instruments of Truth: Aparna Sanyal on Writing, Resilience & The Road Less Travelled

In this powerful episode, I chat with noted author Aparna Sanyal about the journey behind her latest book, Instruments of Torture. Aparna fits perfectly into our theme “The Road Less Travelled” for the unconventional paths she has chosen—both in the stories she tells and the work she does. From tackling emotional and creative challenges to shedding light on the often-overlooked struggles women face, this conversation dives deep into mental health, resilience, and the courage it takes to write with truth and purpose.
