Pause and Play: Choosing Life Every Day

Pause and Play: Choosing Life Every Day

What do you do when life forces you to press pause?In this moving episode of Stories Seldom Told, Smita Tharoor speaks with former French teacher Sarbari Sen, whose life has been shaped not only by two primary cancer diagnoses but by an unwavering belief in the joy of living.For more than three decades, Sarbari inspired generations of students with her love of French, literature and learning. Today, while undergoing chemotherapy every two weeks for pancreatic cancer, she lives by a simple philosophy, some days demand that we pause, but whenever we can, we must press play.Together, Smita and Sarbari explore what it means to embrace uncertainty without surrendering to it. They talk about family, friendship, teaching, becoming a grandmother, finding humour in the darkest moments, and why she refuses to "die every day" before death arrives.This is not a conversation about cancer. It is a conversation about resilience, gratitude and choosing to love life, even when life becomes fragile.If you've ever faced uncertainty, loss, illness, or simply wondered how to keep moving forward when life changes course, Sarbari's story offers wisdom, warmth and hope in equal measure.Because sometimes the most courageous thing we can do is simply press play again.
