Unscripted with D.I.T

This is our 70th episode and to celebrate, we wanted a celebrity to join us on our show. And who better than the man who still makes many hearts flutter – Shahrukh Khan? There was only a teensy weensy problem - none of us have the clout to invite Shahrukh Khan. But as true improvisers, we took a leaf from the Khannas who wanted their Diwali party to pop and sparkle and we made do with a cheap imitation – a Malayali version of SRK.  Karthik tries to smuggle in something brown and something white and when caught, offers to gift it to the taciturn Immigration officer and cop.  He might have escaped the long hands of the law, but he is serving life sentence with a shrew of a wife who shreds him to bits while the hapless film maker is dreaming about food. All this and much more in our 70th episode! The tribe is taking a break for a while. We will see you in 2022, with a revamped version of the show – which will continue to be unknown, unplanned, and of course, unscripted!

Happy Halloween to you all! And commiserations for those of you who need to attend parties. My least favorite part is getting into conversations with groups who are already talking. There's never really a smooth way to get into such a conversation, or so I thought. The rest of the tribe decided I needed a lesson. In the acting profession, directors have been known to be... how do you say, difficult. They all have particular styles of directing, some more specific, some less. And a whole range of those styles are on display here. Learns yours today! And of course, we also remember that sometimes, less is more. Watch a movie in 2x, no movie exists that isn't improved by doing this. Especially if they're educational videos. Turns out that's applicable to improv as well.

Climate change is real, despite those news channels that tell you it itsn't. One such channel, our very own Mox News, shows you exactly how these channels operate. The process may surprise you! Who said Tinder and other dating apps were only for the new generation? People above 60 also deserve love, happiness and all the other things not usually found on Tinder. Watch as Karthik and Hari guide you on the exhilarating journey of dating after 60. Deadly Information Today!!! And if you ever fear you'll forget what to say next while on stage, learn from Robert how to turn a potentially catastrophic forgetting of your lines into an epic chase after a girlfriend who spurned him. The lengths we go to sometimes...

Requesting a bank loan is probably one of the most stressful things you could experience. The bank manager doesn't want to sanction a loan, the client wants as much money as they can get - it's set up to be a tense situation from the off. Add to this that anything other than the most polite behaviour is frowned upon, and you're all set to dance. Hari isn't great at dancing, and on this evidence, neither is Jay. Slightly higher on the list of stressful activities is wedding planning. It's even worse if the wedding planner is a member of your close family. Fortunately, you don't have to pay them. Unfortunately, you can't fire them. Fortunately, you probably see less of them after the wedding. Unfortunately, you'll see them at every family occasion. And imagine getting married on a day that a pair of superheroes won't even save the world. You guys had one job...

Every day is a new adventure. To be more precise, the kind of adventure made famous by movies like Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Poltergeist and the like. In other words, it can be quite terrifying. Facing the unknown and the unexpected is what improv is all about, as demonstrated to great effect by Prateek and Karthik. Rashmi and Hari find ways to integrate random inputs into scenes, and finally all the tribe find themselves switching in and out of a scene as fluidly as they can. Learning to cope with the unknown and unknowable is a great asset to get through the times we live in, so what are you waiting for? Dive in! And remember to join in at our open jamming sessions every Sunday!

All right, are you ready for a different kind of show? In honor of International Podcast Day, we got all our tribe members to show up and put on a show. The best part was that the tribe members had no idea that we had planned this. It truly opened some of our eyes as to what Unplanned, Unknown and Unscripted really means! In addition to our usual gig, we also had a little chat with all of our tribe members, sharing with each other how the art of Improv has touched our lives in a very challenging time. We'll be releasing that as a special episode soon, so stay tuned. Our latest round of cocktails throws up several surprises - it seems as though some forget that electric and water bills need to be paid after a few rounds have gone down. It really was a fun experience, listening to our latest members, Benjamin, Kalpak, Anita and Sudha mix it up with our usual veterans. We also have a fun press conference where the person giving it has no idea who he is, only that he's answering very specific questions about an event he's unaware of. Watch the tribe try (and succeed) in confounding Hari (that's me). He would make a great politician, even if he does say so himself!

You'd think artists and therapists would get along. After all, they're both obsessed with imaginary stuff  reading between the lines. Watch what happens when an artist decides he needs some therapy, and they decide to do a bit of a deep dive into something they would have rather left alone.   Cocktails at a bar are a huge scam, even more so when you find the vodka has been replaced by water. See how Karthik and Hari deal with bartender Prateek, while stepping gently over the word limit set by the sadistic Roma. And as always, whenever I'm in the mood for philosophy, I always find it useful to ask myself - Phil or Sophie? Listen to the tribe deal with this conundrum as they rip every argument into pieces in a dazzling display of rhetoric. Hey, I never accused any of them of brilliance...  All this and more on our show that's unknown, unplanned, and Unscripted!  Go on, leave us a review: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/unscripted-with-dit-1264555/reviews    Music: Rockapalooza by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com

Interviews often bring out the most illuminating insights. Some of the best things came out of an interview. This isn't one of them. This one tries to bring out the animalistic side of politics, and we succeed... I think. Customer service can be a difficult experience. Here, you get to see both sides of the coin, angry customers, angry customer care execs, generally angry people. While unpleasant in real life, it just couldn't be funnier here. And the phenomenon known as catfishing, where someone you meet online pretends to be someone they're not. Meeting a catfish in real life can be a surreal experience. See how Prateek and Hari deal with just such a situation in as few words as they could. And finally, sometimes, the best advice comes from the most unexpected sources. Like prima donna actors who really can't take direction from a newbie director. Thanks to them, you will learn that buds do grow on trees, and that water is precious!

If there's one mantra I can't stand in real life, it's Mark Zuckerberg's "Move fast and break things". Because of people who actually think this is a good idea, I guess some of us have jobs at DIT, so I really shouldn't complain. When our lives feel like they're breaking down, who do we call? The sane ones among us would call a therapist. Luckily, we're all out of sanity here at DIT, so we're taking the DIY approach. Whether it's roofs or your internet router, someone here can fix it. Sometimes they may even work after being fixed. However, we provide no guarantees. So join us as we try to put the pieces together. Heck, even this old VCR could work!

Ever been to an Art Exhibition at a gallery? I haven't, and I think they're pretty stuffy with pretentious phrases tossed around like live grenades. I don't think any of us have either, but if all those movies and TV shows glamorizing artists are to be believed, this is probably how it goes down. I've known quite a few people who are terrified of speaking on stage. And this next scene will do them absolutely no favors. Enjoy our brand new game, which somehow turns into the nightmare scenario for all those who fear the stage. And we end with my personal favorite phrase; "That's not right." And we proceed to rip everything everyone else says to ribbons. Need I say more?

We made it to 60 Episodes! Again, thank you to all you wonderful listeners. Improv is all about collaborative storytelling. (Note to self: Go ahead, stick that one on your resume!) And here, we endeavor to do just that. Watch how the tribe  of us create a spooky story, with Jathin and Hari acting out the parts. Or how Robert can turn the most random quotes out of random books into a believable, if farcical trial.  And that really is the magic of improv. It opens you up to worlds of possibilities, all of which you are free to explore without fear. Interested in trying it out for yourselves? Do join our open jamming sessions!

The early bird gets the worm. But who wants worms for breakfast?? Yuck!! Like Garfield, Roma and Rashmi believe that mornings should begin much later in the day. And when they are forced by a well-meaning friend to join the 5 AM jogging club, they are out with their claws and even sharper tongues! It is back to school time in most places around the world. Our tribe members are no exception. Two not-so-yummy-mummies engage in an almost-fist fight as they compare the merits of their pre-schoolers. A young man decides to start the year with a possible prom date – but is handicapped by the number of words he can use and more importantly by the fact that he is not George Clooney. And Physics teacher Karthik tries to figure out what on earth was his recalcitrant student, Saira doing the whole academic year. Do you think he will succeed?

I have little idea why people are so afraid of this whole Friday the 13th thing. But it seems suitably spooky, and since we were recording this on Friday, it was a no-brainer. To start us off, Prateek and Hari demonstrate what to do if you're ever in a horror movie and have to hide from a (or his) mummy. Rashmi demonstrates the dangers of autonomous vehicles that gain a mind of  your own. And to top it all off, everyone manages to mangle a scene from FRIENDS so badly you'd think it was resurrected much like Jason was (in so many movies). If that doesn't terrify you, then you're made of sterner stuff than most of us, especially Jathin. All this and more on our show that's unknown, unplanned and Unscripted!

Improv can get you on lists, apparently. No guarantee what list, mind you - it could just as well be a guest list to that exclusive club, or on your boss's hit list. Improvise at your own discretion. We love well-meaning strangers. They're helpful, kind, considerate, and most of all, incredibly annoying. And it's always a bonus when someone can drive even Roma up the wall, so Rashmi does an amazing job in that department! All this and more on our show that's unknown, unplanned and Unscripted!

Sometimes, it pays to interrupt people. I remember several times when a conversation I was in got hijacked and ended up in weird new places. Weird is what we do best, so check out the freezing extravaganza that starts in a single's bar for married people and ends in cryptocurrency investments. Sometimes things are fortunate. Sometimes they're not. And sometimes, you can end up sharing a train compartment with a creepy stranger on your honeymoon. Leave them alone, Aarti! And for those of you who can't wait to go on a long hike once this whole pandemic is done, I have one extremely credible piece of advice - Leave Roma at home. Give her a jigsaw puzzle to keep her busy or something. All this and more on our show that's unknown, unplanned and Unscripted!

The big news this week was that billionaires are going to space. Some of them in very interestingly designed rockets that make one wonder what they're trying to overcompensate for. Ever wondered if Richard Branson was a little jealous of Jeff Bezos? If so, we've tried our best to portray how that scene would have played out in real life. We also show what it would look like if you put people from DIT in charge of a space mission. Good thing none of us are astronauts. Have you ever wondered what makes superheroes, well, heroes? Is it their powers? Would a superhero shorn of their powers continue to be heroes? We examine this complex issue of morality, and if you want to know how that turns out...

Summer is here. Yay... Honestly, I've no idea what the fuss is all about. I mean, it's really really HOT out there. And yet, more and more people just wanna go on picnics. But beware, being exposed to the heat is only the second worst thing that could happen to you. You could run into some really creepy people, as you will shortly find out. Worse, the people in question might be even creepier.... And while these folks are away, the cats come out to play. And this cat has developed some... exquisite tastes. And all of this leads us to our true test of loyalty - will we do what it takes to save our pets? Or just swipe that exotic bottle for ourselves?

I'll confess that I've never looked forward to building a house - too many details to think about! But the pillars that the roof stands on - those are critical, and if you're not careful, can come crashing down over your heads, as Karthik's greatest fear is reveled. Jathin and Robert try their best to spare Karthik (from Roma and Rashmi). Find out how that goes! Ever since I (Hari) got married, I've been told about a hundred times that communication is key to keeping your marriage smooth. I took that advice to heart, honest! And yet, every time I'm tapping away on the phone, I'm met with angry glares! Hello? I'm communicating here! Ever wondered what to do in that situation? We find out so you don't have to! And one of the things most people never think about is the education of senior citizens. And if you've got Robert and Karthik in senior citizen spelling class... well, we tried to warn you. Oh, and someone might have unleashed a mummy's curse. Thought you'd wanna know! All this and much more on our show that's unknown, unplanned and Unscripted!

If you or someone else you know need an unflappable CEO, drop us an email - we have a whole list! It should come as no surprise to anyone that members of our tribe have pretty fertile imaginations.

This is our 51st episode! 51 weeks of providing awesome (at least in our opinion) entertainment to all our listeners. This episode, we decided to stretch the tribe by challenging them to educate while entertaining. As always, the tribe rose magnificently to the occasion. We leave no branch of studies untouched. Always wanted to learn about astronomy? Take a stroll around the DIT astronomical laboratory – where you can gaze at stars like LoonaMoona and MoonaSoona through a special eyepiece- Sparklers™ (patent pending). Lockdown forcing you to stay at home and develop new hobbies like gardening? Do not miss inputs on Gardening 101 and how the width and length of watering pipes can affect the growth of petunias and pumpkins. Oceanography? Pyrotechnics?  We have got you covered. To our tribe members, both these areas are but two sides of the same coin! Archaeology, did you say?  We give you all the dirt behind becoming a master digger. Treasure hunting? Do not forget to pack a special equipment – the PICKASS (patent pending). All this and more, on our show that's unknown, unplanned and of course, unscripted!

We've made it to 50 episodes! And as a special episode, we've brought back all the members of the tribe to share their experiences on this amazing journey! This is the story of how this podcast took shape, how its creators spent a good part of the pandemic-induced lockdown, and how we've gotten ourselves to this point. Learn of all the ways that embracing the art of improv has improved our lives, and if you want to find a place to start, please feel free to drop in on one of our open jam sessions on Sunday to get a taste. We'll guarantee that you'll stick around. And to those of our listeners tuning in to observe our razor wit in action, we've got you covered!

Has anyone ever told you that secrets destroy lives? And that these new White Cinnamon Sticks ruin 5 million lives? No wonder Karthik likes to keep this one on the down-low. But secrets have a nasty habit of getting discovered... Dating during the pandemic has been tough. Video-calling is probably the most that people could do over the last year. And now, with the first shoots of the post-pandemic spring, finally going back out to meet new people is something everyone is looking forward to. But beware - people online and people in real-life are not always what they seem... Prioritizing things in life is something extremely important - so much so that even schoolchildren are forced to choose. The young rising star of Indian school-level hockey has a choice to make. Will he pass his Hindi exam? Will he ever play for his school again? What even is a Hindi? Find out, in the next exciting episode of Dragon Ball Z Unscripted with DIT!

You might have noticed that Bitcoin, Dogecoin and [insert what-have-you]coin have been all the rage in the news. The bad news is that they sometimes crash, and Robert and Rashmi teach us a valuable skill sure to work when this has happened to you. If you're looking for an internship, (as I, Hari, am), I suppose you could do worse than joining the Summer Trainee program at the Bomb Squad. Real world experience and excitement guaranteed. Continued employment and survival not guaranteed! Sign up now! We at DIT are a bunch of history buffs. We take a look back at the possibly-apocryphal tale of Archimedes in his bath, discovering the law of displacement, his none-too-impressed (and possibly American) wife, and the most important lesson of all - always make sure the bathrooms have doors!  All this and much more  our show that's unknown, unplanned and unscripted!

I honestly had no idea that 4G was still being implemented in the 1500s. Join us this episode and witness the turn of history as Mughal emperor Akbar and his advisor Suresh make a decision on the most pressing issue of our times - establishing the 32-bit microprocessor as the standard. Who knows where the internet would be without such brave souls? Who doesn't love a good beach? Our bunch of kids sneaks out of home on a weekend, to clean the beach up! What a bunch of nerds! But a ton of other fun stuff happens on the beach, such as scuba diving, which apparently some people find terrifying. That sounds like a fun honeymoon!

Whoever said, “Excuses are the easy way out!” has never had a dedicated Professor like Hari who is determined that his student Prateek does not miss out on the submission deadline. But Prateek is equally resolute and tenacious and invents more and more excuses! Who wins finally? Listen and let us know what you think! Sound recording and reproduction is a great industry – and there are some wonderful professionals out there who can recreate any sound effortlessly. Our tribe members are not too far behind. Jathin and Aarti too can recreate sounds effortlessly – and go above and beyond their job description to recreate sounds that weren't even asked for! We at DIT are ardent supporters of continuous learning- and here's a bit of history lesson for you.  Did you know that Shah Jahan almost did not finish the construction of the Taj Mahal?  His site supervisor misplaced the last brick needed to complete the edifice.

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 could cause significant grinding. How many times can two people drive past a fountain and crystal palace anyway? More times than you thought possible, apparently. It's also important to be able to switch gears as needed. Watch Karthik and Jathin switch gears, back and forth, as they negotiate digging a grave. An important lesson, listeners: it's important to finish a job. Some jobs should never be left unfinished...

Ever tried reading a book backwards? No? What do you mean, it's not fun?! Listen as our two resident scientists decide to peer review some cutting-edge muffin research and come to some exciting conclusions! On the other hand, baked goods do seem to go well with stiff drinks as Karthik and Prateek ponder the meaning of solitude over a stiff drink. There's also a bit of confusion as to the role of brownies in our diets, and their commercial possibilities. And after all this, we deal with the most depressing activity of all - jewelry shopping!

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 the problem. There's also a debate about the value of freedom of lungis vs the security of pants. Pants all the way!

Have you ever read a book? And did it ever reveal a deep dark life-altering secret? For that, you need to be a member of the DIT tribe. The books our members read change their lives for ever! Words of wisdom from our teenage adult -Prateek – thirty is the new fifteen! That's why he has still not moved out from his loving mother's coddling! If you were ever searching for teachers in anatomy or sarcasm – your search ends here! A war of words between two best-selling authors (one can always dream!) puts an end to Karthik's ambition of writing a book.

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?"

Ever wondered how difficult contact-tracing is? Here's the answer: quite. It appears that, thanks to the efforts of one fearless ice-cream entrepreneur, everyone has a certain disease. Thank you, Pratheek and Karthik! And mint-chocolate ice cream sucks!

Sometimes, we get nostalgic. Remember when you could see what peoples' noses and mouths used to look like? Or how much mean people liked to throw the nerds under the (sometimes metaphorical) bus?

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. Mistakes are often the best things that happen to anyone. The consequences are a different story, however... Join us as we navigate an ever-changing world, exploring the horse trade, taking in the sights at a pickpocket school, and driving home the maxim "Sometimes, more is less", especially if you can avoid hearing too much.

What do you do when certain people never stop talking? Give them a word limit, of course! But if you think this will prevent them – you are sadly mistaken! Roma and Karthik manage to scandalize despite speaking only three words at a time.

Tough times such as these have restricted our finances and cornered us into choosing between popcorn and pharma, between parent and child. Or so we discover today.

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? Meanwhile, animalistic savagery abounds at the farm where Karthik and Pratheek work. And no one knew that Robert was in fact from the little Spanish enclave in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Everyone makes mistakes. If you're wise, you learn from them. If you're improvisers, you laugh, cuz that's just hilarious! I mean, why else do we even do this? In this episode, Karthik learns some Spanish, some economists argue about GDP, and Hari decides that "infuriating" should be two words. Roma found that infuriating.

SCIENCE is FUN! Believe it! Cuz we do!

It's always night in space, so it's never too early for a drink, as Francis and Hari find out. Karthik, on the other hand finds out it's a bit difficult to find a job after being fired by NASA. And unless you're a huge fan of Indian condiments (in your hair), I'd recommend you stay as far away from Manju and Roma's hair salon as humanly possible.
