Anuradha Roy on leaving city life for the mountains

The mountains are often imagined as an escape from city life. A place to visit, slow down, and leave behind. But for writer Anuradha Roy, they are something else entirely. The hills near Ranikhet are where she and her husband chose to move, turning a neglected cottage into a home over more than two decades, shared with family, animals, and a carefully tended garden. In Called by the Hills, Roy reflects on a life lived close to nature but never apart from its pressures, documenting both its quiet rewards and the damage caused by climate change and unchecked development in the Himalaya. This week on the podcast, Anuradha Roy joins host Sandip Roy to talk about what it means to make a home in the mountains. Produced by Shashank Bhargava Edited and mixed by Suresh Pawar
