First, we speak to The Indian Express' Nayonika Bose about Maharashtra's new Marathi language requirement for taxi and auto-rickshaw drivers, and how thousands of migrant workers in Mumbai are balancing long shifts with language classes to keep their permits.Next, we talk to The Indian Express' Aditi Raja about the debate over how the Ahmedabad Air India crash site should be remembered, after the Gujarat government announced plans to redevelop the damaged BJ Medical College hostel blocks while families of victims seek a memorial at the site. (13:00)And in the end, we look at a government-commissioned review of the Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NRLM), which found that funds intended to help rural women start small businesses were often diverted toward immediate household expenses instead.

There are journeys that merely take us from one destination to another, and then there are journeys that quietly transform the way we look at humanity itself. My years of travelling across the length and breadth of India and abroad as a journalist have never been limited to assignments, deadlines, cameras, or reports. They have been an ongoing education in human emotions, contradictions, resilience, beauty, and the astonishing plurality of life.Every city, every village, every railway compartment, every tea stall, every backstage corner of a theatre, and every modest household has introduced me to people I had never imagined I would meet. And perhaps that is the greatest gift of travelling with open eyes and receptive ears- the world constantly surprises you. Society reveals itself not merely through headlines or events, but through ordinary individuals carrying extraordinary stories within them.Over time, I realised that my true fascination did not lie only in meeting deadlines or “covering” events. My heart was increasingly drawn towards people- their obsessions, passions, peculiarities, silences, artistic madness, vulnerabilities, and invisible emotional landscapes. Some people devote their lives to preserving a dying musical tradition. Some quietly nurture literature in forgotten towns. Some continue creating despite poverty, loneliness, or complete absence of recognition. There are also those whose tenderness, pain, humour, and courage never become visible to the larger world, yet remain unforgettable once encountered.As a documentarian and storyteller, I often feel that my responsibility extends beyond information. Documentation, for me, is not the mechanical act of recording facts. It is an emotional and ethical process of preserving the fragile textures of human existence before they disappear into silence. Memory is not merely nostalgia; it is continuity. It helps societies remain connected to their emotional, artistic, and moral inheritances.There are countless moments from my journeys that continue to live within me like secret lamps- illuminating my understanding of people and creativity. Many experiences cannot even be fully articulated. Some encounters become deeply personal treasures, impossible to translate entirely into language. They remain within me as guiding lights for an unsuppressable creative impulse that continues to shape my work and my perspective.I have often felt that the world moves too quickly to truly listen. We are surrounded by noise, speed, consumption, and endless distraction. In such a climate, attentive listening itself becomes an act of resistance. To sit with someone, to allow them space to remember, to speak, to sing, to reflect - these are deeply human acts. Through audio, visuals, conversations, interviews, and archival efforts, I try to preserve not only personalities, but also the emotional atmosphere surrounding them.One such memorable moment came while I was working on a documentary exploring the journey of Marathi theatre. During the course of filming, I met at the home of the accomplished singer Shaila Datar. It was one of those gentle, unplanned encounters that remain etched in memory far beyond the formal purpose of the assignment. Prachi displayed immense warmth and kindness towards me, she graciously agreed to hum a few lines in her beautifully trained and tender voice.That small moment may appear insignificant in the larger scheme of things, but for me, it carried the essence of why I continue doing what I do. It was not merely about recording a voice. It was about preserving an atmosphere, a sensitivity, a fleeting human exchange that otherwise would have vanished into time. Cover and Text IrfanSuch moments remind me that documentation is not simply technical work- it is an act of emotional preservation. Read more in Memorywala journal.

We got songs of all sorts tonight and non-songs for most sorts too. Take your pick! LISTEN AGAIN – you can stream on demand @ fbi.radio or podcast here. Abigail Snail – Good Grief [Romac Puncture Repairs] Abigail Snail – Attach Bayonets [Romac Puncture Repairs] You can get an idea of the experimental roots background of London guitarist Stef Ketteringham, usually known as Stef Kett, from his 10-year-old Guitar Arrangements (2016) and its sequel More Guitar Arrangements from the following year – a loose, free jazz approach to bluesy guitar, the outer limits of American Primitive. It’s not that far from there to punk rock, but nor is it far from the swamp. Garage rock is more the touchstone with Abigail Snail though, when Kett, on vox, guitar & bass, teams up with the incredibly versatile drummer Will Glaser, who’s played with the likes of Sly & the Family Drone, Yazz Ahmad, Ruth Goller and many other luminaries of the London jazz scene, and released an incredible solo album last year. The music’s a kind of hysterical, broken-down form of garage rock, dragged into swampy blues-jazz with the addition of James Allsopp on tenor sax & bass clarinet, a fixture of London’s jazz & experimental scenes for the last 2 decades. The album bio describes them as “London spray band Abigail Snail”, and the raucous-yet-vulnerable music here could well suit this new genre (as you know, we at Utility Fog love ridiculous new genres). Anyway, stick this on your boombox and scare pedestrians as you cycle to work next week. Jungstötter – Overturn [Unguarded/Bandcamp] Fabian Altstötter founded his solo project Jungstötter some years after his postpunk band Sizarr went on hiatus. Solo, his music draws from the dramatic experimental songwriting of Scott Walker & David Sylvian – on 2023’s One Star, his rich vocals were offset by industrial rumblings and shifting electronics, muddled in pitch-shifted shadows of themselves, mashed beats interrupting the flow, horn and string arrangements that grow raucous. New album Sustained is now announced, and single “Overturn” is very pared down – just that voice, some percussion, sparse electric piano, field recordings of children’s voices and occasional single note hits from horns. Oh, and the scrabbling guitar at the end, all suggesting something creepy around the corner. No doubt this will be an excellent album. Massive Attack x Tom Waits – Boots on the Ground [PIAS Records/Bandcamp] The most unexpected release of the century? Given that Tom Waits‘ last solo album Bad As Me came out in 2011, we could have been forgiven for expecting that was the end, but Massive Attack (who have stuck to random singles with feature artists for the last decade) convinced him to create this anti-war anthem, clattering percussion straight out of Tom’s Bone Machine, piano straight out of many of 3D’s productions, and Tom’s barked vocals which could refer to ICE or US troops in Venezuela, Iran, or heck, Vietnam. It’s proper chilling stuff. Loraine James – Flatline ft. Miho Hatori [Hyperdub/Bandcamp] From her soon-forthcoming album Detached From The Rest OF You, Loraine James here works with Miho Hatori of Cibo Matto on absolute thriller of a song, the beats a Loraine glitch-bass special and Hatori’s vocals spoken and sung but always cut-up. This is her “pop” album lol… Well, it’s full of great singers and James herself sings on more than a few tracks, but it’s still super experimental. Naavikaran & Simo Soo – For You Page (FYP) [Naavikaran Bandcamp] On her new EP MYSTIQ DISCOTHEQ, Naarm-based rapper Naavikaran puts a South Asian spin on her EDM-influenced rap & pop, enlisting Simo Soo to help bring out the deconstructed club vibes. Across the EP, Naavikaran raps and sings in Tamil, Marathi, Hindi and English, covering life as a disabled, LGBTQI+ refugee. Impressive and entertaining. deafkids – REFLEXO [Neurot Recordings/Bandcamp] Brazilian band deafkids may nominally be classed as “punk”, but hardcore punk mixes with industrial and noise in their sound, along with electronic music of all shapes. They released the incredible uncategorizable Metaprogramação on Neurosis‘ Neurot Recordings in 2019, and then when the pandemic hit, they put out a series of EPs that mixed Latin rhythmic complexity with guitar pedal and software experimentation, collected now on the album Ritos do Colapso. Except before that in 2020 came their collaboration DEAFBRICK with cross-continental noise-metal-industrial-electronic duo PETBRICK. So with various collabs and oddities in the interim, their forthcoming CICATRIZES DO FUTURO (Scars of the Future) is their first album proper since Metaprogramação. It looks to be more electronic, more intense, more angry than ever, a visceral reaction to the state of the world. Highly rhythmic and danceable, it shifts between hardcore punk, industrial, Latin American and club sounds with abandon. I can’t wait to hear the whole thing. james K – Doom Bikini (Hesaitix Remix) [AD93/Bandcamp] Following her vaporwave-trip-hop album Friend from last year, james K now reaches out for some heavy-duty Friends to remix the album. Hesaitix is the alias of James Whipple, better known as M.E.S.H, pioneer of “deconstructed club”. Here, though, he’s taking james K’s “Doom Bikini” and adding accelerated breakbeats in a lightweight jungle style. Very nice. Zoë Mc Pherson – Bang Bang (Nziria remix) [SFX/Bandcamp] Zoë Mc Pherson – Ambient Snake (Yushh remix) [SFX/Bandcamp] One of the leading lights of deconstructed club music (as we probably don’t call it anymore), Zoë Mc Pherson, releases the remix collection from last year’s Upside Down album, via their own SFX label. A great collection of various sorts of experimental bass music, including here some frenetic jungle/breakcore from Italian DJ & producer Nziria, and some ambient technoid lushness from Bristol’s Yushh, who will be playing here soon – at the Sydney Opera House, no less – for DUNJ’s Vivid Live event, also featuring Carrier and our own gi and Autogenesis. ARTISOMA – Boraq [YUKU/Bandcamp] Ravensburg, Germany-based producer Sarah Rendle ARTISOMA, debuting on YUKU with the Mobilya EP, exploring various configurations of UK bass and percussive techno. Quality production, as expected from anything on YUKU. OD Bongo – crystallinoron [Carton Records/Bandcamp] It’s almost inevitable that whatever is next released by French label Carton Records will be unlike whatever you’ve previously heard. Amédée de Murcia (aka Somaticae) on synths and Édouard Ribouillault aka C_C on drum machines, samplers & fx make up OD Bongo, whose second album Bongoville is technically co-released by Carton, zamzamrec, Prix Libre Record and basalte (whoever they are). This multiplicity of co-presentations is quite common in France it seems. Whoever you’re encountering it via, you’re in for a treat: hardware samplers, synths & drum machines produce a psychedelic cacophany of dance music styles, drawing in trap, juke and gqom with their bass-heavy techno – and a dub sensibility is ever-present. That’s got to hit the spot if you’re a Utility Fog listener! Haydn Douet Lukies – Amolador [Colectivo Casa Amarela/Bandcamp] Colectivo Casa Amarela are one of those Portuguese labels that you know will come through with the goods, even if you’re not sure what those goods will be. In the case of Old Dark Champagne, percussionist Haydn Douet Lukies uses his environment as his instruments – in this case the watery soundscape of Cacilhas, an industrial area in the estuary of Tagus River (Lisbon is built around that estuary), along with rusting chains, architectural surfaces and so on. But from these ingredients he makes music whose rhythms and sounds are linked to the beats of jungle, UK drill, industrial dub and other bass musics, as well as Arabic percussion and the Lisbon-centred, Afro-diasporic sounds of batida. It’s only an EP, and leaves us wanting more. Tristan Arp – Forking Paths [Kapsela/Bandcamp] Objekt‘s label Kapsela continues to be essential, now releasing an EP, Re-Weave, from the brilliant percussive techno sound-artist Tristan Arp. Case in point, tonight’s track “Forking Paths” starts with blissful synth arpeggios, but a minute and a bit in, rolling snares and a light but prominent “tok” on the 2nd & 4th beats drop in, switching into a syncopated bassline, and these various parts undulate and shuffle through the course of the track. The title is a reference to Borges’ classic story “The Garden of Forking Paths”, but also to the EP’s dedication to weaving mycelial networks and labyrinths. Beautiful. Yunzero – Cool Skunk [Yunzero Bandcamp] Naarm’s Jim Sellars makes some of the most weirdly crunchy, alternate-reality sample-based music of the last decade or so, under the name Yunzero. As the quote says on this new 2-tracker, “there’s something off”. If you wanted a summary of Utility Fog’s favourite kinds of music, “there’s something off” is a pretty good one, and it’s not a bad description of the jittery, rhythmic pieces on show here. Hora Lunga – Hearing through the Wall ft. Junge Eko [Hora Lunga Bandcamp] One album I loved from last year came from Argentinian cellist Violeta García working with the Swiss composer/producer Hora Lunga. The two musicians melded sound-art and noise with acoustic gestures, post-club sub-bass and glitched ambiences. Now Hora Lunga presents his New Age Music Vol. 2-3, which couches new agey soundscapes in post-modern irony (check the CD-R edition, which comes enclosed in repurposed pop album packaging). Deliberately awkward edits cultivate a sense of unease, only emphasised with guest vocals from the likes of Junge Eko aka Catia Lanfranchi, whispering over stop-start breaks. García appears with a vocal performance that pairs with industrial beats reminiscent of Atari Teenage Riot; meanwhile there’s angelic voice and distortion on “Doom Metal”, which is actually more like shoegaze, while Sam Portugal brings something more like black metal vocals to the dubbed-out “When I”. The double-album lurches from one genre to the next, never alighting on “new age” as such, but embodying the new, the post-, at all times. Joseph Branciforte & Jozef Dumoulin – ⊐ [greyfade/Bandcamp] With his greyfade label, NY composer, sound-artist & designer Joseph Branciforte presents music at the crossroads of contemporary classical, contemporary jazz and experimental electronic, especially where they meet in minimalism. This has led to some remarkable ideas, like the Folio edition of an acoustic reconstruction of Taylor Deupree‘s ambient-glitch classic Stil. Glitch, though, is a hallmark of the label, especially with Branciforte’s own works like the label’s debut release LP1 and its follow-up, which paired Branciforte with brilliant jazz singer Theo Bleckmann, with Branciforte on electronics and Fender Rhodes. That instrument brings us to this new collaboration, with Belgian Rhodes player Jozef Dumoulin. Both artists play their own Fender Rhodes, re-sampling and processing in realtime, and the music is (re)constructed from small fragments – but don’t think this is austere studio deconstruction; Joseph & Jozef are seasoned improvisers, and their intuitive connection is found throughout. In addition, a lot of the “editing” was done live in Branciforte’s realtime editing software. The album is released in a special deluxe edition with the whole 70 minute work on one CD, and an additional 4 CDs which contain the tracks spread out across them, to be re-sequenced or even layered if the listener wishes. Jonas Cambien – Tre – RADIO EDIT [Sonic Transmissions Records/Bandcamp] Rhythmic sounds here which hint at glitch-edits but are purely prepared piano, from Oslo-based Belgian pianist Jonas Cambien, whose Man Eating Tree is released by Norwegian label Sonic Transmissions Records. The release consists of four pieces, I believe part improvised and part composed, of rhythmic movement and minimalist gestures on prepared & unprepared piano and electric organ. Lovely stuff. Microfiche – Number 7 [Earshift Music/Bandcamp] One of Eora/Sydney’s best jazz bands, Microfiche, have their third album With Time coming out on June 12th. The album marks 10 years together as a band, and bids farewell to pianist/keyboardist Novak Manojlovic – replaced live now by the brilliant guitarist Hilary Geddes, although Novak still plays on the album, along with clarinettist/violist Phillippa Murphy-Haste, bassist Max Alduca, trumpeter Nick Calligeros, saxophonist Sam Gill (recently awarded the 2025 Freedman Jazz Fellowship) and drummer Holly Conner (who you’ve heard filling in on this show on a number of occasions). All of them are interested in music across genre, all are composers and improvisers and producers one way or other. The first single from the album is composed by Novak, and it’s a beautifully restrained piece with subtle details, clusters of virtuosity inside small musical gestures. The whole album’s special, stay tuned for more! Mariam Wallentin & Vestnorsk Jazzensemble – Basel [Hubro] Here’s a new single from an album that’s coming… sometime… from the great Norwegian label Hubro. Mariam Wallentin is one of the most extraordinary singers of our age – known for her postrock/pop/experimental duo Wildbirds & Peacedrums with her husband, drummer Andreas Werliin, and for her immense, emotive vocals with Fire! Orchestra, the Nordic free jazz big band centred around the Swedish trio Fire! formed by Werliin along with bassist Johan Berthlin and saxophonist Mats Gustafsson. Wallentin also has a solo project as Mariam The Believer which is perhaps more pop but still involves many experimental/jazz musicians. Here she is working with the Vestnorsk Jazzensemble, a jazz ensemble based in Bergen in the west of Norway, who commissioned a collaboration with Wallentin which reworks material from Mariam The Believer and even going back to Wildbirds & Peacedrums. However, “Basel” is a new song, a slow jazz groove with a pensive melody. Can’t wait to hear the rest. Claire Dickson – Waterfeel [New Amsterdam Records/Bandcamp] New York’s New Amsterdam Records are notionally a classical label, who tend to put out contemporary classical-adjacent pop, indie and experimental music as much as full-blown orchestral/ensemble work such as Sarah Kirkland Snider‘s compositions. On her second NewAm album Balance, Berlin-based Claire Dickson writes beautiful, laid-back songs around patient synth & piano patterns, fluttering strings, twinkling harp… Even when Lesley Mok‘s drums and Zoh Amba‘s sax are in the picture, it’s the slow-paced ostinati that call the shots. Dreamy & lovely stuff. Freda D’Souza – unravel (when ya comin back?) [Freda D’Souza Bandcamp] Speaking of low-key… Freda D’Souza is a London-based singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist who you may have heard me bugging you about before – or not, because she is the exact opposite of prolific. Her Windowledge EP from 2023 is small but perfectly formed and “The Love Song of J Alfreda D’Souza” speaks to me both on the pun level and also just as a wondrous song & performance. Anyway, how lucky are we then that she’s just pushed out a tiny single, with the lovely “lullabye” as the lead but backed up with a blissful Björk cover! The glitched, twinkling electronics of Vespertine (still my favourite Björk era) are replaced by layers of her voice and strings. Then again, if you like doom & post-metal, Freda’s band Wēven have just released their Wychelm EP, which is highly worth your time too. Listen again — ~214MB
The seekers in these stories travel through worlds both ancient and modern, worlds of symbol and fantastical allegory, on their paths to greater truth. The state of Maharashtra is famous for its ancient Buddhist cave complexes. It's also known as the birthplace of leaders in the struggle against caste oppression: Jyotirao and Savitribai Phule in the early 1800s, and B. R. Ambedkar in 1891. It is here that Dr. Ambedkar, architect of the Indian constitution and warrior against the practice of untouchability, led marches for the right of Dalit people to draw water from community wells, to enter temples, to live with dignity. The Seekers (Blaft Publication, 2025) consists of five stories that hold Phule-Ambedkarite thought at their core, weaving together the history of ideological conflict, the pursuit of artistic excellence, and the unquenchable human thirst for freedom. The book tells of ancient revelations, of flood and fire, of vast deadly deserts, of people turned to stone. It is a unique work of anti-caste Marathi literature that feels both timeless and sparklingly new. "...Gautamiputra's stories shun the beaten path, chart their own course, and leave indelible footprints for others to follow" —Raja Dhale (1940-2019), writer and activist, co-founder of the Dalit Panthers Gautamiputra Kamble is an award-winning Marathi writer. His background in literature and philosophy informs his interests and activism—he is the editor of Secular Vision magazine, coordinator of the Secular Art Movement, and President of the Secular Movement and Secular Education and Research Institute, Sangli, Maharashtra. He has also served as the President of Phule-Ambedkar Shahu Teachers Association, Kolhapur. Parivrajak (The Seekers) was first published in Marathi in 2004; it has featured in curricula for post-graduate courses and civil service examinations in Maharashtra. Sirus Libeiro is a translator based in Mumbai. The Seekers is his first full length translation in print. He has a background in Economics and Urban Studies. He is currently working on a translation of 'Jayanti' (2022), Gautamiputra Kamble's second fiction novel. You can order the pdf copy of this book here for $5.32.

In this Guftgu episode, Manoj Bajpayee speaks with unusual honesty about cinema, craft, and the kind of inner life that keeps an actor growing. He reflects on how the pandemic changed theatres, streaming, and the way people now live with stories, fear, and habit. He believes cinema will return, but not in the old way, and makes a strong case for theatres and OTT existing side by side.The conversation then moves into acting in a way listeners rarely get to hear. Manoj breaks down his preparation for Aligarh, from Marathi literature and music choices to gait, backstory, and the tiny behavioral details that make a performance feel lived rather than performed. He also speaks about Barry John, realism, simple living, and why craft matters more than image. The episode closes on poetry, with powerful readings from Dinkar and Dharamvir Bharati's Andha Yug, revealing how literature, rhythm, and voice shape the actor behind the screen.

When Chikka Devaraja Wadiyar purchased Bengaluru for three lakh gold hanas in 1690, he bought more than just real estate; he inherited a linguistic revolution. Ramjee Chandran explores how the three-year Mughal occupation of the Bengaluru fort created a "Tower of Babel" where Persian officers, Punjabi soldiers, and Marathi scribes were forced to communicate with Kannada-speaking merchants and laborers. From this daily friction in the pete emerged Rekhta—a language "poured and mixed" from the tongues of the north and the south. This episode traces the journey of this "Lashkari Zaban" (language of the camp) from the streets of Bengaluru to the literary courts of the north, revealing that the "Urdu" spoken in the city today is a 300-year-old inheritance structurally shaped by Kannada. Key Details from the Script : The Linguistic Collision: The Mughal army, a coalition of Afghans, Persians, and Rajputs, entered a city where Kannada was the foundation, but Persian, Marathi, Telugu, and Tamil were already present The Birth of Rekhta: The word comes from the Persian rekhtan (to pour, scatter, or mix). In Bengaluru, it became a practical tongue assembled "transaction by transaction" across market counters. The Kannada Bone Structure: While the vocabulary of Bengaluru Dakhni (or Urdu) draws from Persian and Hindvi, its grammar, cadence, and sentence structure are fundamentally shaped by Kannada. The "Lashkar" Legacy: The word Urdu is the Turkish equivalent of the Persian Lashkar (military camp). This history is still visible in Bengaluru neighborhoods like Shivajinagar, which older residents still call "Lashkar". South to North: The episode argues that the south taught the north its literary language; poets like Wali Dakhni took this southern-saturated vernacular to Delhi, sparking the development of modern Urdu literature We gratefully acknowledge the support of the Prestige Group, that makes this podcast possible.

Actor and theatre artist Girija Oak Godbole (Taare Zameen Par, Jawan, Vaccine War, Quarter) joins Abhay Dandekar for an in‑depth podcast interview about acting, Marathi theatre, motherhood, and Indian cinema. She talks about staying authentic in an industry obsessed with virality (yes, the blue sari!), why she rejects the “switch on–switch off” myth of acting, and how live theatre keeps her grounded and connected to audiences.They explore the joy and pain of working across Marathi, Hindi, and Gujarati, the toxicity of language chauvinism, and why she believes translators always lose “a little something” in adaptation. Girija opens up about growing up as the daughter of an artist, choosing a full life over a never-ending race of exams and roles, and why she wants her biggest “success” to be the freedom to stop and smell the flowers.As a mother, she reflects on the surreal love she feels for her son, how parenting cracked open new emotional depths in her acting. She also shares her big dream: producing world‑class Indian live musicals so that people from around the world come here to watch them, not just to Broadway or the West End.Chapters / Timestamps00:00 – Intro: Girija Oak, nostalgia, and connecting art to real life03:45 – The myth of “switch on–off” acting & the magic of live theatre10:30 – Language, Gujarati–Marathi backlash, and the beauty (and politics) of words17:15 – Sponsor Break - Travelopod17:49 – Exams, moving finish lines & redefining success beyond the hustle26:55 – Playing nurses, systems, and building empathy through roles31:20 – Aging gracefully on screen, relevance, and bridging “massy” and “meaningful” cinema38:20 – Producing dreams: why India deserves iconic live musicals43:50 – Parenting, unconditional love, and Rasik Maibap humility toward audiencesSpecial shout outs this week to everyone at Dhanashree Foods and Boonlife for their wonderfully healthy and delicious foods and snacks, and to anyone out there trying their best to learn and speak Marathi - there is an online conversational Marathi language training class through Bruhan Maharasthra Mandal. https://dhanashreefoods.com/https://www.boonlife.in/https://bmmonline.org/languages/TRUST ME I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING is brought to you by TRAVELOPOD, with personalized travel support to help you explore the wonders of the world.

Sabar Bonda, the Marathi film that won a prestigious honour at Sundance last year, is either a poetic exploration of the road not taken or a pretentious try-hard desperate to feel important.We discuss the film's unconventional dramatic choices, the effects of its stillness, and the lacklustre quality of the central performances. We also debate its performative nature and wonder how it turned out to be so divisive.—Hosted by Akhil Arora and Rohan Naahar, The Long Take is fully bootstrapped.

Org*sm म्हणजे काय? पुरुष आणि स्त्रियांच्या org*sm मध्ये कोणते शारीरिक आणि भावनिक फरक असतात? Fake Org*sm म्हणजे काय? S*x toys वापरणं योग्य आहे का? Relationship मध्ये या विषयावर मोकळेपणाने संवाद साधणं किती महत्वाचं आहे? या सगळ्यावर आपण डॉ. सबिहा (S*x & Relationship Coach) यांच्याशी खुसपुस केली आहे. Org*sm हा एक संवेदनशील विषय आहे म्हणूनच, या चर्चेचा उद्देश केवळ शैक्षणिक आणि माहितीपूर्ण आहे. आमचा हेतू समजूतदारपणे आणि आदरपूर्वक यावर बोलणे आणि विषय समजून घेणे हा आहे; ज्यामुळे गैरसमज दूर होतील आणि प्रत्येक व्यक्तीला लैंगिक आरोग्याविषयी मोकळेपणाने विचार करता येईल!In this episode, we delve into an important yet often overlooked topic in the realm of s*xual experiences — org*sm.What exactly is an org*sm? What are the physical and emotional differences between male and female org*sms? How crucial is open communication around this topic in a relationship?Given the sensitive nature of this subject, our intention is purely educational and informative. The goal of this discussion is not to entertain or make light of the topic, but to approach it with understanding and respect. By doing so, we hope to dispel common misconceptions and encourage open, healthy conversations around s*xual well-being. We've discussed all these topics with Dr. Sabiha, a S*x & Relationship Coach.आणि मित्रांनो आपलं Merch घेण्यासाठी लगेच click करा!

Periodically on TRUST ME I KNOW WHAT I'm DOING , we share a SPOTLIGHT conversation and feature brief chats with an individual or a group from the community about a special topic or a unique endeavor. I grew up in a Marathi American household and even as a born and raised Californian, there was a lot of attention at my house to Marathi film and cinema. So much that the idea of watching Tukaram, Ram Shastri, Simhasan, or Umbartha were not foreign to me as a 12 year old. Marathi cinema is the oldest film industry in India and from Dadasaheb Phalke making the first full feature length movie more than 100 years ago to Prabhat films all the way to 2016's Sairat,, you can directly connect the dots from this rich legacy to every corner of India's film industry today.So on this SPOTLIGHT episode of Trust Me, I Know What I'm Doing, and yes, I'm aware of the mild irony of this, नमस्कार आणि आपल्य सर्वांचा स्वागत करतो. आणि नेहमीप्रमाणे, आज आपण या मुलाखतीत अंग्रेजित बोलणार आहोत! So, let's focus on how this Marathi film legacy is undergoing a contemporary revival at the intersection of art, business, and community, through the North American Film Association (NAFA) and its founder, Abhi Gholap. As a serial entrepreneur, investor, and passionate Marathi film enthusiast, Abhi has personified that bridging of tradition and today's film landscape, and is the convener of the upcoming 2025 North American Film Festival in San Jose. Notably, he is the producer of the acclaimed award-winning 2011 film Deool, a movie that not only achieved commercial and critical success but also underscored the social impact and artistic power of Marathi storytelling. His experience with Deool shaped his unique approach to filmmaking, blending an entrepreneurial drive with a keen sensitivity to meaningful, community-centered stories. And now with the non-profit NAFA, and the focused lens of the upcoming 2025 North American Film Festival, it was great to explore how Abhi and NAFA are creating new opportunities—connecting local voices with international platforms and using film as a common language of inclusion and growth. The mission of NAFA is pretty simple - to advance the Marathi film ecosystem through collaborative efforts in production, distribution, and film festivals, and I've personally found that for any group, a spirit of inclusion and priority to strong storytelling is one that builds sustainable connection and emotional endurance.So, as we sat for a conversation, and after a brief Marathi introduction that you can see on the Youtube version of the podcast, I was actually thinking of how people get introduced to movies when they're young and so I asked Abhi if he could reflect on some of his own first Marathi movie experiences and memories… Please learn more about the 2025 NAFA Film Festival (July 25-27, 2025 in San Jose).
This week on Cyrus Says AMA, Cyrus is joined by writer, screenwriter, and ex-MTV producer Vrushali Samant for an absolutely unfiltered, nostalgic, and gloriously off-the-rails conversation. Together, they take on a fresh batch of ridiculous (and sometimes suspiciously deep) questions from our listeners — covering everything from international politics to Mumbai’s monsoon potholes. What else?!

In this laugh-out-loud episode of Cyrus Says, Cyrus Broacha sits down with comedians Nivedita and Devanshi for a wildly entertaining and unpredictable conversation. What starts as a casual chat about AMAs quickly spirals into hilarious commentary on bad coffee, South Indian pride, chaotic Indian traffic, and the trials of learning how to drive in Mumbai. The episode is packed with travel tales—from comedy gigs in Melbourne and a solo trip to New Zealand, to unexpected moments of cultural confusion (yes, someone mistakes them for being Chinese). They discuss the unique struggles of being comedians, getting paid in foreign lands, surviving conservative expectations, and how their Indian audiences evolve once they move abroad. It wouldn’t be Cyrus Says without a few absurd games and off-track rants—expect debates over cricketers versus comedians, awkward public encounters, and a Marathi cuss word guessing game that goes nowhere fast. Oh, and somewhere in the chaos, Cyrus also receives a “most entertaining podcast” award—whatever that means. It’s unfiltered, unapologetic, and totally ridiculous—in the best way possible.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
