  • Summary

  • How did she do it? Defy convention and live an authentic artistic life on her own terms? Way back in 1970s India? Protima Bedi's funny and #nofilter memoir 'Timepass' chronicles the life and unconventional life choices of this model turned Odissi Dancer who managed to live a singular life while in the public gaze. Situationships, sugar daddies, non-monogamy, marriage, doing acid, seeking meaning and a house for rent as a single woman, being accepted by the traditional 'art' establishment, raising her kids alone and wrestling with her demons, Protima is the grand dame of tackling every single thing that seems to us — so very now!

    In this episode I discuss some of the themes that came up for me in reading this book, discuss the idea of 'respectability' and how much things have changed for the average Indian woman and offer reasons why you should consider reading this powerful, first person account of a woman who challenged the ideas of her time (and ours) and could very well be a Gen Z icon from way back in time. Tune in for a spoiler free freewheeling discussion on the book and the enduring appeal of Protima Bedi or Protima Gauri.
