YaadNama · یادنامہ

Your parent's life, in their own voice, as a book.

Your mother's stories are leaving before she does — the village she grew up in, how she met your father, the food and the festivals. Right now they live only in her voice. One day they won't.

How it works

Choose your parent and their language.
They reply to a few voice questions a week, on WhatsApp. No app, no typing, no camera.
We turn the answers into a printed book — with their voice inside.

What you receive

A printed hardcover book of their life, about 120–200 pages.
QR codes on every chapter that play their actual voice.
An English translation beside each page, so your children can read it too.

Choose a book

Digital — $99: four weeks of voice questions, a PDF book in your parent's language with English beside it, a private voice archive.

Heirloom — $149 (most chosen): everything in Digital plus a printed hardcover with QR codes that play their voice, delivered to one address. Extra copies $69.

Family — $249: two storytellers, or one storyteller with three copies to three addresses. Siblings can split the cost with a group-pay link.

For a 70th birthday, Nowruz, Mother's Day, Diwali, a retirement — or simply before it is too late. Pick a delivery date at checkout. Short book or refund: if your parent's answers make fewer than 60 pages, you choose a smaller book or a full refund.

Made for your parent's comfort

No app, no typing: they reply by WhatsApp voice note, 2–3 questions a week.
The first question is in your voice; later ones in a warm voice in their language. They can skip any question.
You get a weekly note with a 20-second clip of their voice.
Languages now: Farsi, Hindi, Urdu, English. More coming.

You're on the list. Thank you. Share with a sibling — every book has extra copies, and the more of you who join, the sooner the first group fills.

I ask you to start my parent's interviews as soon as the first group opens, and I understand that the 14-day cancellation right (where it applies) ends when interviews begin. The refund promise above still applies.

We are not built yet. The first group is forming now, and first books ship about 10–12 weeks after launch. Your deposit is fully refundable on request, at any time.

Want to be sure before you reserve? Join the waitlist first — it's free. The $49 refundable deposit is on the next step. Reserve your place (deposit link sent by email)
