Welcome to this special Mother's Day episode of The Gear Shifters! We're thrilled to have Manjula Narayan, the Editor of the Books page at Hindustan Times, joining us. Not only is Manjula a distinguished journalist, but she's also a mother to two sons and three dogs, and a proud rider of a Royal Enfield Thunderbird. In this episode, Manjula shares her journey from her early days of riding to her current adventures with the Thunderbird. We dive into the societal perceptions of women who ride motorcycles and discuss the unique overlap between motherhood and biking. How does her passion for riding influence her parenting style? What lessons from biking has she shared with her kids? Tune in to hear about Manjula's inspirations, challenges, and insights into balancing her roles as a mother, rider, and professional.
