The Woman Who Wrote Her Own Name: Darshana Arjun Vijeta on Kavinaama
Retired school principal turned author Darshana Arjun "Vijeta" joins Kshitij and Burair for a conversation that moves between poetry, memory, and the women history forgets. She talks about being called "Teacher Bitiya" at nine years old, the father whose words still guide her, and building her own name — Darshana, Arjun, Vijeta — piece by piece. Along the way, she recites poems for her father, for the "aazaad nari" she refuses to be anything less than, and for her grandmother's village, and talks about the silent heroines — women like Radha Bhua and Gangā — who live on in her stories.
