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, and rejections, and much more.
This one's insightful and heartfelt so make sure you tune in!

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, staying alone through the lockdowns, the goddess hour and its motto, and having multiple sources of income.
So just get a pen and paper coz this one has multiple hacks to joyous adulting!
You can find her on Instagram @priyamsaha

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 20 as compared to age 50, toxicity and serendipity, and so much more. She also tells us the story behind @nomorelonelyfriends- a community that meets up across cities and indulges in friendship.

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 has really been at the core of understanding empathy & kindness; and lead with it- we know it's none other than Nikhil Taneja. Presently the co-founder & CEO of Yuvaa- a socially conscious youth media, data insights, and community engagement organization that aims to empower young Indians. Before this, he has had his fair share of hits and misses at MTV & YRF where he produced online content like the film 'Sunsilk Real FM' & the mini-series 'Man's World' and 'Ladies Room'. He is also on the Global Advisory Board, Goalkeepers at the Gates Foundation. AND he is one of the beloved professors at Jai Hind college.
Having had the best (and worst) of both the pre and post internet worlds, we discuss how 'content is power and privilege" and what a delicate balance it is between staying authentic and non-vulnerable. Nikhil tells us about his adulthood journey, lessons learnt on the way, his honest attempt at bringing about positive change in the society via Yuvaa.
And the highlight of the episode is where Nikhil talks to us about toxic masculinity, how "patriarchy benefits men but oppresses everyone", and how can men be more kind to the world and themselves.
Just block the day already, plug in your ear pods, and tune in!

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 Arranged' where they help like minded, compatible individuals connect and see if they can build a future together. They discuss the cons of matrimonial websites and dating apps, the gaps in the dating process, how their program is more evolved and scientific. Further, they also discuss their personal experiences, good and bad date instances from the existing clientele, the process of the program, and much more.

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 Delhi, Jakarta, China, Japan, and Spain to name a few. Also a doting mom to two adorable boys, she takes us through her journey across continents and adulting. We talk adulthood, Motherhood, India's situation at the moment and how as young folks we can lead better lives and support the nation's progress.
So just really listen in, and let go of that fear, try that thing you've been putting off and let good stuff come your way!You can catch Pallavi Aiyar on Instagram | Twitter | Website

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 decades and is here to share her learnings with all of us.
So sit back, gather all your worries, dump them and replace them with affirmations.

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.

He is a Clinical & Cosmetic Dermatologist & Trichologist, completed his medical education from some of the best Colleges - MBBS from Seth G S Medical College and KEM Hospital, Mumbai followed by his MDfrom TN Medical College and BYL Nair Hospital, Mumbai between the years 2000 - 2010.
Some topics we discuss:-Basic and Advanced skincare-Why is Sunscreen your bestie-How does smoking affect the skin-Lifestyle and skin-Skin care = Self Love-No Nasties products- yay or nay?-Hair Care-Men's skin careand much more!

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! Sharing all this along with some crispy nuggets of adulthood, is another sweet fellow adult.
So get some snacks, have a listen to the show, and now that you've chosen good food for soul, might as well choose some good food for the body as well and check out urban moms at their website and Instagram.

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 neighbourhood Gynaecologist Dr. Sakina Radiowala who addresses our tensions about 'what's up down there' with her detailed but chewable explanations. She was also kind enough to answer the AMA questions from the post Rytasha put out on her IG.
So sit back, relax, take notes if you have to, and after listening, make sure to spend some me time and check for your health.

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? Shouldn't we appreciate and dedicate time for a few moments of silence and solace where we just be, everyday?
In this episode, we discuss the hazards of chaos, constant stimuli coming our way, over socialization and too many things wanting our attention. And we take the moment to appreciate the quiet places and moments of life..
So shut the khidki-darwaze, sit in peace, we'll give you company and then just switch off and sit with yourself and your tanhayee. Thank us later!

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 is what growth and learning is all about.
We really do pour our hearts out in this one and hope to resonate with you, and offer solidarity because yes, adulting is hard! So just take a little break from all the heavy lifting and have a listen to the episode, a little empathy for our fellow comrades on the journey to adulthood.

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 cause of these innocent children is Poulomi Pavini Shukla, a lawyer, writer, and humanitarian who is passionate about the plight of India's orphans. She is a Wharton School alumna who is also interested in economic theory research and is a close observer of court proceedings in the fields of policy formulation and judicial activism. She frequently finds herself drawn towards writing, reading, and travelling when she has free time that is not consumed with social causes. Her desire to help the underserved, both humans and animals, fuelled her determination to take on one cause at a time and back it up with action.
She is also a fellow adult who shares her adulthood lessons from having lived quite the adventurous life. Having seen women in her family smash patriarchy, she also has been rebellious, so to speak, and has been empowering herself and the people around her. Definitely a role model we all would want to look up to.
So turn up the volume, have a good listen, and if you come across an orphan on your way somewhere, do stop by and have a little chat. It'll make their day and you might be of help to them and aid their empowerment.

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 episode today.
Joining us is our current producer, Jalasmi, the 'mumma' of the show (she says this show is her baby so..). She has been in the scene for a while and has stuff to share.
Moderated by Ayushi, this session is all about experiences, deal breakers, protocols and etiquettes, likes and dislikes, and just a general focus group discussion around the world of dating apps. So tune in, and while you listen to us, let your hands do the swiping.

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 invested, and his journey into the business.

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, Billaroo- our beautiful black Persian cat who recently passed away. She talks about finding her, training her, learning from her, and how she was definitely a guardian angel who made her a better person.
Not to forget, we also talk about plants- the home ones and the wild ones, a visual treat so often either coexisting amidst the concrete chaos or stuck in a pot. Don't we all love nature, the soothing green colour, and the joy of flower colours and birds!
So, cuddle up with your pet baby, or sit beside your plant baby, or take a walk in nature- and tune in to hear it all about these adulthood companions that ease the tiredness of the long exhausting journey to Adulthood.
