But at the heart of each story is his Aai--her words and lessons. He reminisces of the day his mother showed him the importance of honesty and the time she went hungry just so her children could eat a full meal. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Narrated over the course of forty-two nights, \u003ci\u003eShyamchi Aai\u003c\/i\u003e is a poignant story of Shyam and Aai, a mother with an unbreakable spirit.
