Thapathi’s Tale is a first person account of a woman born within the first decade post-Independence. It chronicles her transformation from a shy little girl in an orthodox south Indian family in Chennai, raised to be a “good home maker”, to a confident professional, eventually transcending the prevailing cultural definitions and expectations. This tale, told without filters, captures with candour the way she keeps pushing her boundaries, finding her own space in the world, to establish her individual identity as a person of her own. But this book is more than just her story- it chronicles the changing values and lifestyles of a generation that experienced transformation and the adaptations needed for coping at every stage . Every era comes alive through the small details, captured with love and humour. “Thapathi” is the affectionate name given to Radha by her grandchildren. While this story was originally written for them, it will resonate with generations that grew up in pre-liberalised India, and experienced the enormous change that took place in the turn of the century. And for the fresh generations to which Thapathi’s grandchildren belong, it will give a glimpse into a warm and cosy world that has vanished from sight but lingers in the minds as stories of a fading generation.
