We buy it, we use it, and we wrap it in a piece of paper and let it go. What happens next? What happens is that it rests in a landfill beyond us and our future generations ignoring the earth's requests to just decompose and move on. The pads. Layered with perfume and plastic. This World Environment Day 2021, we feel it is a good time to reconsider your choices, give a thought to Mother Earth and make that much-awaited switch to more sustainable and eco-friendly products. To help us out,...

One of the biggest antagonists of our life is Patriarchy- a toxic philosophy that has governed so much of our existence. From simple things like not wearing shorts and exposing those sexy legs, to being pulled out of school for getting periods, the spectrum is huge and we all fit in somewhere or the other. And as a generation, we try to defy but there is always a side of guilt that never goes away. To talk about all this, we had Dr. Falguni Vasavada, someone who has been through it and has...

It's the silver jubilee episode for us and we decided to invite a more successful adult on the show! And who better than a wise Uncle Francis, a concerned Pankaz and an absolute star boy who taught us the use of 'da' & 'macha'- Naveen Richard!!! Join us as we talk to him about the fruits grown in his hometown in Kerala and life there, his lockdown musings, dealing with success & failure, life as a content creator, a deep dive into faith and god, and all the hilarious BTS around Better...

If hearing the words Cryptocurrency, Blockchain, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, NFTs, mining, nodes, make you sweat while nervously looking around if someone notices you don't know what they mean - then this is the episode for you. From newspapers to social media, this stuff is fast becoming something you need to know about. Governments are trying to regulate it, businessmen don't understand it and the kids are running it, so you need to understand what this digital gold rush is all about....

Once a woman attains motherhood, she is revered by society. That becomes her principal role in life. But we rarely acknowledge the woman behind the layer. She could have been so many other things- a sister, a daughter, an artist, a friend, a buddy, a lover. But when she becomes a mom, there is no going back. At least not until the kids grow up, which is a long time. Sometime into the pod, Purnima aunty, Rytasha' mom and our guest for the pod, talks about how both her daughters have now grown...

Most of us are at an age when our moms had already given birth to us/our older sibling. They were married, had taken on the responsibilities of running a house, were managing ties with people from 2 families, and a lot of them were juggling a job as well. They had, maybe, lost touch with hobbies, friends, careers, lovers; had kissed goodbye to a lot of dreams as well. But that did not deter them from giving their best to the responsibilities at hand. They brought us up with utmost love and...

Work and Life locked in the house To stay safe and operate remotely Life fell down, losing its balance And work went tumbling shortly. Major relate? Us too! Terms like Work-Life Balance are casually thrown around in the present times and yes, there are multiple studies that show how it has gone for a toss but is it so? In a time when work can be office work, household work, or pursuing a hobby while Life could mean sleeping, browsing, surfing, socialising, relationships, and what not- do...

This episode, we address a very important aspect which is Sexual Wellness. Everyone talks about sex but what about pleasure, comfort, foreplay, creating an ambience, and hygiene? India saw a huge rise in the sale of sex toys and intimate products like lubes and oils, in the lockdown. Clearly, people are exploring this side well. And as a country of 1.2 Billion people, we should not shy away from talking about it! To add more to this conversation, We had Anushka & Sahil Gupta- couple and...

The last year felt like those few minutes after a nap that was aimed to be quick but lasted fashionably longer than we thought- unproductive and clueless and panicky. And this year feels like we badly need a nap but are avoiding it, dreading those post-nap feelings. In both cases, we are miserable and helpless. Take a break from all of this, close your eyes and just imagine- life. post. Covid. Not like the second half of 2020 with half-assed freedom, but like, maybe 2019, but better. You have...

Last year, life gave us a lockdown and we made memes, music, art, cakes and Dalgona coffee out of it. And now that another lockdown is staring at us, we'd rather make ourselves the regular chai/coffee and sit back and relax because no, we have no energy or creativity left. Relate to it? Then this episode is for you. And there comes a time in life, lockdown or no lockdown, when you feel this way. When everything is blase, uncertain and you are directionless. It could be your job, a...

Gone are the days of heavy words and melancholy filled Shakespeare poetry. It's the time of relatability and rebellion. Poetry in the present day and age, for us millennials, is a way of expression. A lot of us are independent, often lonely, facing an identity crisis, and are still getting used to life as an adult. Many times, the emotions faced are inexpressible in regular conversation but when weaved into poetry, it is our version of putting things out in the world in a way that our heart...

It takes just that one person to make or break the day, their sight like a beautiful sunset, bringing so much joy in the heart and a swarm of butterflies in the gut. Every romantic song is strongly felt and emotions overflow like never before. The day is consumed in their thoughts and often we find ourselves looking somewhere faraway grinning like an idiot. All of these are symptoms of having a crush in life and we can't deny that it is the best feeling ever! Sometimes a crush might like us...

It's a special birthday-New Year-first of 2021 episode! We needed to hibernate for the last two weeks, but we're back and so ready for the new year! While we'd love to say that things miraculously got better on January first and everything's fixed - we all know that's not how things go.

But since its not, here's the episode to reassure you at that the pressure to get married, have children and make massive commitments is felt by all of us. We know exactly how it feels to be trapped in that pressure cooker waiting for the whistle to blow - but instead of panicking, we take a look at why this is our default setting, how we unburden ourselves, and most importantly, how we can stop...

We started at X but somehow ended up at 100. But that just goes to show that the philosophy behind our "mindsets" is hardly linear - and neither is adulthood. In this episode we took snippets from Aristotle, Plato, The Bible, Upanishads, Lao Tzu, Buddha, Amin and Rathore to dig into what guides and builds our own mentality. Somewhere along the line we discussed positivity, negativity, the odd misconception around virtues and stuff about trees. We ASSURE you - this is a good one! You can talk...

Made a mistake? Messed up the day? Things didn't go as planned? 7 out of 10 times, the answer is the lack of discipline. YES YES that's a HEAVY ass statement - but it's true!

Its a tough adult cookie to swallow but its SO important - tune in to hear our struggle with it and some actual workable tips to staying on...
