We scored a Century and celebrated with a live recording on YouTube with our beloved listeners joining us as we spoke about how this show has been our little golden child, the various ways life, situation, and persona have transformed overtime (for good), and all the amazing things we have learned from our guests. We want to thank our listeners for their support. We end the season at this episode and will be going in for a break. But all our episodes are immortalized on the internet forever...

It's not every day that we come across a 40-year-old who doesn't talk in philosophy or sugar-coats his words, but says it like it is. In this episode, just before we hit a century, we spoke to one of the ultimate adults- Sikandar Kher. We ask him for life advice and he doesn't complicate it but explains his POVs to us in the best way possible, and no wonder he is our favorite. We talk about life in the 30s and 40s, living with parents, finding a partner, excelling in our careers, failures,...

We're all guilty of wanting to 'live it up in the city' and have almost always referred to flawed representations of the same in films. Our fellow adult today did the same- inspired by 'Wake Up Sid', and life in general, moved to Mumbai when she was just 20. Today, 10 years on, she reflects on the time gone by and is super proud of it! It's Priyam Saha- writer, actor, comic, creative personnel in media, and goddess. She tells us about life in the big city, how great being Thirty feels,...

She went viral in the big city of New York a few months back and people knew her as the 'one with no friends'. And she managed to turn that around into a community of people who come together for friendship and make sure no one is lonely again. In this episode, Rytasha & Ayushi are joined by Marissa Meizz, a 24-year-old, baby adult livin' it up in NYC. We discuss all things friendship- the concept of 'BFFs', pandemic loneliness, the evolution of a friendship with age, how are they at age...

The world might be moving towards Robots, AI, Cryptocurrency, Metaverse and what not. But at the end of the day, we are all human- flesh, blood and a plethora of emotions in a complicated universe of communication where the mask of technology isn't sustainable. What is that one superpower that helps protect everyone's heart? It's empathy. To respect your own shoes, and sometimes stepping into that of others' to understand their situation, and accordingly move forward. If there is someone who...

Meeting the perfect partner is something most of us wish for. We sign up on matrimonial websites, or dating apps; hope to find love at hopeless places and what not. Here is a carefully curated matching platform that uses a compatibility test designed by psychologists, a verification process to keep the creeps away, and a plan that takes into consideration your expectations, likes and dislikes. Rytasha and Ayushi are joined by Tanisha Kanani & Priyanka Ghura who co-founded 'Not So...

How is the life on someone who hasn't let the idea of settling down deter their aspirations and has just gone with the flow only to have had rich experiences? We often overthink things and fear consequences, and as a result miss out on opportunities while our guest today encourages us to take risks and invite moments of serendipity instead. She is Pallavi Aiyar, a journalist, independent international correspondent, author of multiple books, and truly a world citizen having lived across...

We all agree, it's not the best time to be an adult. There is confusion, gloom, bitterness, disappointment and what not. But there has always been, and will always be, Hope. Older adults swear by that. And we will experience and eventually live to tell the tale. And pass it on to the younger folks as well. To give us hope, wisdom, and useful tips to beat the adulthood blues is Ekta Rajani, a stylist, practitioner of sustainable fashion and a functional adult who has experienced more than 4...

The largest organ in the human body gets the least attention usually. It is subtly affected by so many factors of our lifestyle- stress, food, environment, to name a few. But it also can be maintained and kept healthy by some very basic habits and routines. So to talk about it, we have on board, Dr. Punit Saraogi from Everything Skin and Hair clinic. He is a Clinical & Cosmetic Dermatologist & Trichologist, completed his medical education from some of the best Colleges - MBBS from...

Our Bestie Ananya Mehta, an entrepreneur who runs a successful business of healthy, great quality home made nut butters and more- and that to with her mom- joins us on the pod today. She tells us about the business, the journey towards entrepreneurship, which is never easy btw. One is not born a boss but when you believe in yourself and take a stand, is when that part of the brain lights up. And running a business is no easy feat either, especially when your co-boss is your own mother!...

Constantly bombared by 'biological clock' statements because you aren't married or planning motherhood? Period cycle not following the monthly map and just roaming around the calendar? Sexually active with protection still worried about STIs? In a love-hate relationship with your breasts? Welcome to Womanhood and that 'ripe' age where you are expected to behave like a lady but your lady parts often are truant because, life. We, as usual, got you covered! Introducing your friendly...

Most of us dread sitting alone with our thoughts. Like the day Whatsapp, Facebook & Instagram were down, we immediately switched to Twitter/ YouTube, or downloaded Hike/ Telegram; but refused to sit alone keeping that phone aside. We always have music/radio/podcast on while going about our mundane activities and the only silence we know is when we are about to sleep, or during a rare solo trip to the beach/mountains. And the silence there almost always overwhelms us. Why is it so?...

A month is substantial growth especially while you're adulting. And we definitely had a substantial September and are back on the pod with loads to unload and discuss. Today, we talk about how decision making- from little things like what to wear and eat, to the big stuff like moving back home after having lived away and whether to have kids or not- is such a humongous task that it does take up maximum mind space; and to organise thoughts so as to see a clear picture and take better decisions...

We hear of babies being dumped in garbage, being left on the streets, abandoned in hospitals. Ever wondered what happens to them? The risk that these little lives have- of being contracted with diseases, of being left to die, of being adopted by persons for illegal activities- rarely is anyone fortunate to fall in safe hands that secure their future. The orphans of India- some who live in orphanages while some we come across on the streets either begging or selling stuff. Championing for the...

It's 2021 and just like a lot of our life is governed by algorithms, so is Love. And by that we mean dating apps. While we are not zooming or scrolling miles on Instagram, an occasional break is that of swiping left and right to the various apps in the hope that we might just find our prince charming and all will be rosy again. But alas, that is not always the case. It does come with it's fair share of side effects, pet peeves, and funny incidents- which is what we are going to discuss on the...

We encourage all things good and healthy, and fitness is one of the main ingredients to a great adulthood experience. And to celebrate fitness and Rakhi, we invited our monster trainer Kunal Rajput and his sibling, a baby adult but so self-aware, Shivani Rajput. Kunal is a certified fitness coach and a Nike ambassador from India while Shivani runs a Digital Marketing Agency. They work together on an online fitness initiative called Unlock. They discuss fitness, siblinghood, adulting...

Organic is not a fad. It is a scientific way of growing food in the most healthy, sustainable way. These techniques are similar to what our grandparents and the generation before them always employed to grow their crops, now with a dash of Science and Technology. To explore more, we invited Siddharth Sanghai of Fresh India Organics who tells us the benefits of switching to Organic, the numerous stages of checks that ensure genuineness of products, how much time, money and hard work is...

Ever wondered how is life in the Army? Imagine a young adult thrown into the strict, disciplined and tedious routine of the army. Dealing with adults who seem evil, with exercises that make you exhausted, where thinking about luxury is luxury, and the only goal to attain is to be an officer and serve the country. And ever thought about the life of an army wife?Living in places unheard of, with almost no social life, with a constant worry of your spouse's well being, and raising kids in such...

A very special kind of love, that not everyone has the access, or the affinity to, is the love that pets give us. They can't talk but communicate so effectively, they can't think but make us so thoughtful, they aren't educated but teach us so many valuable life lessons. And pets are family, pets are children- the most beloved and naughtiest kind. They add a unique flavour to life and make it all the more meaningful. And today, we have Natashja joining us to talk about the apple of our eye,...

We also cannot believe that we are halfway through the year already! And the way it's ZOOMING past, we'll be in 2050 in no time! But today, let's slow down and smell the roses, introspect, catch up.

Among the list of things that we turn to when we are spiralling, music is the most dependable. While for most of us it is a gift, some of them are gifted. Gifted with the ability to create new music and help us get through life. One such person is our dear friend, singer-songwriter, Nisa Shetty. She talks to us about her journey in the world of music, navigating a tough independent music scene in India, her cool grandparents who are ace theatre artists and have hung out with the likes of The...

When in distress, we might scream for mom but when it comes to rescuing, we always reach out to our fathers. They are this safe space, their presence feels secure, and everything seems solvable when they are around. But at the same time, we are slightly scared of them as well, we try to avoid upsetting them and their anger makes us tear up. But that's how dads are everywhere. And they just make the world so much better. On this station, Ayushi's dad, Mr. Siddharth Raman Amin joins the train...
