I'm not sure why everyone was so obsessed about driving today. Maybe it comes of being cooped up and working remotely all the time. Whatever it is, we decided the best idea would be to start off driving lessons at 180 km/hour. Sometimes, things go so fast that they seem to stand still [or insert your favorite quasi-philosophical analogy here]. The driving lessons continue, with Aarti and Jathin demonstrating you can go both forwards, and backwards - repeatedly. Careful, rapidly changing gears...

Listen as our two resident scientists decide to peer review some cutting-edge muffin research and come to some exciting conclusions!

Sometimes, dictators do strange things. Some of those things include ordering two random people having a conversation to do outlandish things. It all goes to show that, some people (cough Prateek cough cough) should never become dictators. However, such people are also the best when it comes to delivering service with a smile, or a lack thereof with excuses. Watch as the tribe gives a masterclass in how to handle irate passengers in an airline without actually doing anything that addresses...

It wouldn't be entirely inaccurate to say that some people love animals. Some even love them too much. And when two of these people, who also happen to be exes... well, expect some fur to fly! Some legends like to give press conferences. Some of them even know why. Others are more like Karthik in this episode - no idea why they're there, but media-savvy enough to make it out unscathed.

Managing a crisis is one of the hardest jobs in the world, regardless of whether you're President or Principal at the local art school. And sometimes, the inescapable fact is that you might have to play a Xylophone on Your Zoom Call. Stranger things have happened, (not very often, admittedly). The sport of cricket raises many questions, but perhaps none as astute as "Why on Earth are they wearing white while standing around in the sun all day?" And finally, how can an elementally-stylish...

People make mistakes. Such is life, c'est la vie, and all that. Sometimes people buy horses by mistake, or push the big red button on a strange vacuum cleaner.

Does anyone even use internet cafes anymore? Apparently Aarti works at one, and can't resist looking through her customers' internet search history, so why would you expect Facebook to do the same?
