As we celebrate Mother's Day, meet someone who doesn't sugar-coat the concept of motherhood. "Don't fetishise moms, they are humans and have flaws," says Pallavi Aiyar, author and award winning journalist in her 4th book titled "Babies & Bylines". Here's the truth about motherhood, like you've never heard it before - the battles a mother must fight with herself, and the world, as she struggles with issues that stubbornly remain the same, generation after generation - work-life balance, negotiating marital equality and getting society to be more supportive of working women.
