The British jungle star reflects on grief, artistic integrity, bass communities and why slowing down has become central to the next phase of her career. In 2019, SHERELLE's life changed when a viral Boiler Room set introduced her high-speed blend of jungle, footwork and hardcore to a global audience. This much we know. So what comes after the storm? In the 2020s, the Londoner has become one of the most recognisable figures in UK dance music: major festival stages, a BBC Radio 6 Music show and even a MOBO award. Yet after putting herself through over 100 shows a year, and turning 30, she began to question the pace of life as a touring DJ. The deaths of two close family members over the past 12 months brought those questions into focus, reshaping how she thinks about DJing, friendship, club culture and what she wants to leave behind. In this Exchange, SHERELLE speaks with RA Editor Gabe Szatan about learning to take pride in her achievements, resisting the pressure to turn music into social media content and giving UK bass artists their flowers while they're still here. She also discusses Hooversound—the label she runs with NAINA—racial and class hierarchies that shape dance music, and Rest & Restoration, her new party built around longer sets, affordable tickets and a simple philosophy to slow down, and make time for the people you love.

The stunning miss Ida Ali is officially making her MOS debut while the magnificent miss Kareema is well on her way to becoming our honorary regular.With Independence Day just around the corner we were feeling that patriotism bubbling up inside us, so we thought we'd have little chat about the movies that remind us why we love being Indian - and who better to do it with than our fellow podcaster girls from "why are the curtains blue?"From Luck By Chance to Rang De Basanti to Raazi to...

Pavitra finally revealed her criteria for appointing you a best friend and we are eager to find out if we made the cut. Also a master hoarder of gossip, Pavitra helped us deep dive into the ethics of this sacred art form. We also got her to spill the tea on fellow comedians and tried to unpack a few gossip themed moral dilemmas - in which Pavitra's mom might have caught some unnecessary strays.

Hellooo Mossies, cancel the ab workout because this episode will have you laughing your way to that 6-pack. The hilarious, awe-inspiring, gorgeous Prashasti Singh walked into the MOS studio and did not stop delivering for a single second. Prashasti shared her workout woes and the struggles of being a celeb at the gym. We tried to bring up role models for Indian women and somehow ended up with an iconic story about a microwave donation scheme. Prashasti then gave us a sneak peek into what it really means to come to terms with being single, thriving in your 30s on your own terms, and her very specific ritual of pining before channeling it into comedy gold. Safe to say, this one's a little unhinged, and A LOT of fun. Okay now go like, share, comment, hype, subscribe & help us get to 100k if you want to atone for your sins.

Why an Emily Henry interview now? Sanjana and Tyler dig into Bloomberg’s recent piece on the author, where she discusses Hollywood adaptations and delivers the all-timer line: “A lot of actors think that it’s less humiliating to pretend to be a Beatle than it is to pretend to be in love.” Then: Naina Kumar joins to talk about heyday rom-com movies as novelistic underpinnings—see her latest, Just a Highland Fling!—and our hosts launch the Yearner Hall of Fame. Congrats to Ethan Hawke and Hanif Abdurraqib! The Bloomberg Emily Henry interview. Naina Kumar’s Just a Highland Fling (out this week!), Say You’ll Be Mine, and Flirting with Disaster. Her rom-com Mount Rushmore: When Harry Met Sally, You’ve Got Mail, Palm Springs, and While You Were Sleeping. Bonus: Kate & Leopold. Yearner Hall of Fame inductees: Ethan Hawke (his “the one who’s in love always wins” interview with Amelia Dimoldenberg) and poet/romantic/essayist Hanif Abdurraqib.

Does your daughter deserve a stanley? What if the birkin of husbands wanted to leave your bestfriend for you? Can the European trip reeeally wait when your son is failing maths?The answers to all this, and then a classic twist on the classic trolley problem.

Hellloooo Mossies, you're in for a treat this week because THE MYSTERIOUS MR. SHAMIK CHAKRABARTI is in the house. Sakshi & Naina dug deep into what makes Shamik tick with answers to widely requested questions like what is his favourite colour and what is it like staring at the tree outside his window in Bandra. Then, because there are never enough comedians getting into controversies, we asked him for his hot takes, and boy were they hot. From putting a ban on celebrity couples to hating on people in Zone 1 Boarding, to demanding that shellfish get out of their shells already - this episode is a rollercoaster of emotions, if a rollercoaster is full of emotions involving laughter. Finally the take that is hotter than the heat of a thousand suns is that we need to be at 100k already - so go SUBSCRIBE and like and comment and share and hype and spread the word of MOS far and wide. 00:00 Shamik Chakrabarti on the pod02:50- Shamik's favourite colour03:39- Is Shamik dating?05:40- Pop or Flopcorn07:17- Celebrity couples and brand deals08:42- Celebrities who follow Shamik11:03- Behind the Vimal Elaichi ad13:11-Should India have a civil score?17:28- Women making civil arrests?18:23- Taxi app feature we need20:28- Dutch food review23:07- Men should be arrested for this?25:13- Dating as a single child27:31- Younger vs elder siblings28:47- Men with lower back tattoos30:33- Hot take on picky eaters33:14- OG stand-up comedians42:24- Why karaoke is overrated46:03- Shamik's biggest pet peeveShamik Chakrabarti:https://www.instagram.com/shamikchakrabarti/?hl=enhttps://l1nq.com/154goc1Follow MoS on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/momentofsilencepod/reels/?hl=enCredits:Naina Bhan - Co-host and certified overthinkerhttps://www.instagram.com/nainabee?ig...Sakshi Shivdasani - Co-host, balancing out Naina's overthinking with a healthy dose of not thinkinghttps://www.instagram.com/sakshishivdasani/?hl=enResearched by our very own curiosity engineer and directed by- Aashna Sharma https://www.linkedin.com/in/aashna-sharma-913146179Senior Producer- Amruta P. https://www.linkedin.com/in/amruta-bandivdekar-01879925Produced by "Vertical by Handmade" - Our personal cheering squad https://www.instagram.com/verticalbyhandmade?igsh=NG1vdXd5bWdsdWI3Creative direction by Tinkre, Keeper of MoS' signature “Pookie” energy Natascha Mehrahttps://www.instagram.com/tinkre.in/?hl=enhttps://www.instagram.com/natascha.zip/?hl=en Reel Editor - Yug Vermahttps://www.instagram.com/bass_abhiyug?igsh=MnlibHdsbG56MjNl&utm_source=qrDisclaimer: The views and opinions expressed by guests are entirely their own and do not necessarily reflect those of the hosts, the production team, or the brand.

Hello again Mossies! This week on MOS we finally settled the debate that has been brewing since episode one. Who is the main character of this podcast and who has been the side character all along? Naina and Sakshi sat down, had it out - and as it turns out it's YOU MOSSIES that are the actual stars of this establishment.We then had a deep thought-provoking debate on what are the traits that separate a main character from a side character, and most importantly… which one are YOU? We asked the questions that matter: is the five second rule only for NPCs? Is carrying out bodily functions with your camera off okay? If our plane got hijacked at what point can we continue watching our movie? And if we got stranded on a deserted island, who'd be the one to steal everyone's rations? We have a very strong suspect. Watch the episode to find out.P.S: The most main character thing you can do right now is like, comment, share, hype, subscribe, and get us to 100k. Only the characters that get killed in horror movies don't subscribe. Stay safe, subscribe now!Chaptering: 00:00 – Introduction00:44 – Main character vs side character04:35 – Are you the Main Character of your life?08:02 – Main Character Era09:03 – Lucky Girl Syndrome11:50 – Main Character or Performance?13:55 – Feeling watched 24/714:40 – Pick your side16:06 – Do you know this place?16:49 – Hobby recommendation18:45 – Confessions22:27 – Ordering at a restaurant25:45 – Crying at the Gym or Shower?27:49 – Handling big feelings28:40 – Relationship Milestones30:47 –Who Texts First?31:52 – Tell Us Your 'First'34:48 – Wound that shapes you39:44 – Comments section is waiting41:22 – Plane gets hijacked46:51 – witnessing an argument in your friend group47:53 – Stuck on an IslandFollow MoS on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/momentofsilencepod/reels/?hl=enCredits:Naina Bhan - Co-host and certified overthinkerhttps://www.instagram.com/nainabee?ig...Sakshi Shivdasani - Co-host, balancing out Naina's overthinking with a healthy dose of not thinkinghttps://www.instagram.com/sakshishivdasani/?hl=enResearched by our very own curiosity engineer and directed by Aashna Sharma https://www.linkedin.com/in/aashna-sharma-913146179Senior Producer- Amruta P. https://www.linkedin.com/in/amruta-bandivdekar-01879925Produced by "Vertical by Handmade" - Our personal cheering squad https://www.instagram.com/verticalbyhandmade?igsh=NG1vdXd5bWdsdWI3Creative direction by Tinkre, Keeper of MoS' signature “Pookie” energy Natascha Mehrahttps://www.instagram.com/tinkre.in/?hl=enhttps://www.instagram.com/natascha.zip/?hl=en Teaser & Reel Editor - Yug Vermahttps://www.instagram.com/bass_abhiyug?igsh=MnlibHdsbG56MjNl&utm_source=qrDisclaimer: The views and opinions expressed on this podcast are for entertaining purposes only and do not necessarily reflect those of the hosts, the production team, or affiliated brand.

ATTENTION people of MOS: our new episode is LIVE and the weekend is officially open.This week we were feeling nostalgic about that one guy who never gave us closure so we decided to do a deep dive into unsolved mysteries.Sakshi is officially back from Australia and gave us the full trip update, adding yet another feather to her shaadi-attending hat. From there we dove into the mysteries that may never be solved aka where do lost scrunchies go, how does the salon lady lather a full head with a coin-sized amount, and what do boyfriends do when they're not with you?We also got into the mystery of Roopkund Lake: skeletons, child-free ancient Indians, and a certain dancing plague (feat. Chunari Chunari). Then we unpacked the lost treasure of the Son Bhandar Caves and debated whether MOS needs to launch an official mission to find Bimbisara's gold.But honestly, the only mystery that really needs solving is why we haven't hit 100k yet. Go like, comment, share, hype, subscribe… or one of your ears might just fall off.

Namaste Mossies, it's Friday again and this time it's HOT TAKES SZN 2 - go grab yourself a beverage with extra ice because the takes this time are HOT as they come. We kicked things off with Naina mounting a quick & passionate defence of her opinion from Hot Takes Pt 1 that drew some flak, with a special shoutout to the OG feminist - father Bhan.From there we got into our unreasonably unpopular opinions about the struggles of being drop dead gorgeous, the terrors of being invoice rich but cash poor, and the gaping wealth inequality between influencers and their internet overlords. The girls also wondered about the choice to be childfree, and debated if pets are better than kids (pets - 1, human child - 0, for now). Our studio audience stepped up with some certifiable controversial opinions - that men are the true masters of spreading gossip, and that apparently pigeons deserve justice.Meanwhile, our listeners were quite UNHINGED with the takes they sent in (NGL we were concerned). We're talking girl code on snitching about cheating friends, and a take on whether gay incest might be... okay?? Hope there's a mop nearby because your jaw will be on the floor. Finally: did you know that every time you like comment share follow hype & most importantly SUBSCRIBE to our channel, the gates of heaven open a lil further for you? Go do it and make the angels happy.

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode has mentions of self-harm, violence, and assault. Viewer discretion is advised.-----Hellloooo MOSSIES, another MOS day has come around and after much coaxing, pleading, and only a little bit of bribing, we have a very special much-requested guest gracing us with her presence in the studio! The most gorgeous MISS KAREEMA BARRY has returned and this time we actually gave her a chance to speak, we promise.Kareema got us reminiscing about the days of yore (early 20s, college, and singlehood) but the nostalgia soon turned into horror as we heard some of her tales of young online courtship. Our listeners too SHOWED UP when it came to relationship horror stories and we did a deep dive into our audience's experiences with Italian serial killers, middle-of-the-road abandoners and men that give a whole new meaning to being a cokehead. There was a short review of Netflix's new “Should I marry a murderer?” (spoiler: don't) and we then debated some of the most pressing questions of our times like - are the dating prospects better in delhi or mumbai or kolkata or bangalore? Are car fights actually the best kind of fights? Would you call your mom if your hookup tried to kill you? Who let the dogs out? Watch the episode to find out!PS - There is a mention of a certain ‘silk man' towards the end of the pod, which was related to a story we had to edit out of the final cut (sorry for the confusion but this is one secret we can never tell).And finally, we are once again asking you to get us to 100k by liking sharing commenting subscribing hyping.

Hiii mossies - Friday has returned and so have we!This week's episode opens with Naina seriously contemplating hypnotherapy to reclaim her lost memories - which Sakshi counters with some scientifically proven advice from an Instagram statics. We then got into a conversation about how the suits have been drooling over our beloved audience (yes, YOU!!) which then got us to the topic of the week - propaganda we all fell for. The lies we were sold. The lies we were told. The lies we rolled with even when it was written in comic sans bold. From the great Kurkure conspiracy of our childhoods to carrots concealing spy tech, to the unhinged propaganda new mothers have to navigate on a daily basis - this week had us questioning everything. Is the whole world a lie? Was Naina almost the Rasna girl? Will people finally stop littering outside Sakshi's house?

The Naina Redhu Experience | Digital Marketing, Social Media, Online Brand Building in India
Aishwarya Mishra spent 12 years as a software test engineer before she enrolled at TAFE Adelaide and switched to interior design. She now runs Aishmi Design in Adelaide.She was born in Odisha, grew up in Hyderabad, and comes from a creative family - trained Odissi dancer, fashion designer uncle, mother in media. The software career happened because in Hyderabad, you're handed a short list of options. She picked software, worked it for 12 years, reached management, and decided she wanted something creative.She enrolled at TAFE Adelaide, got her diploma, and credits the practical training there with making her want to fight harder for her place in the industry. She now works alongside her mentor Tanya Nikolic on residential projects end to end - floor plans, 3D renders, site visits, client and trades communication.Her design philosophy is built around color. She's Indian, not scared of pattern or bold palettes, and says most of her client work involves showing people - through renders and patience - that color in a home is a feature, not a risk. She calls the current state of Australian interiors a "beige pandemic." Her counter: you spend 60 to 70 percent of your time at home. It should make you feel something.Her TAFE final project was designing a home for a client with a degenerative disease - eyesight deteriorating over time, wheelchair use ahead. She added color and high-contrast surfaces and made it feel like his home. National award finalist.Skills she carried from software: fast tool adoption, time management, client and trades navigation. She says software engineering has a role in everything she does in interior design now.Seven years in Adelaide - two in Sydney before that. She says the small market is an advantage for someone building a name.

What does it take to keep going when everything around you — the sport, the culture, the system — says this isn't your place? At the age of 13, Naina Adhikari made her way to the Ganga River, 300 km from her home village to start learning how to whitewater kayak. She couldn't swim, and was the only girl on the river with no female mentors to turn to. Although she faced many obstacles, she persisted. Naina has since represented India at the World Championships and Olympic qualifiers, won the Ganga Kayak Festival twice, and founded Ganga Girls and the Pravahini Foundation, projects that train Indian female kayakers, and that bring survivors of human trafficking to the river, and to paddling, to experience freedom, strength, and community. This is a conversation for anyone who has ever had to find their footing in a world that wasn't built for them. In this episode: The real off-river challenges of being the only woman in a male-dominated sport inside a traditional culture What Naina had to navigate alone, and why she stayed anyway The story behind Ganga Girls and Project Shakti What big volume water on the Ganga teaches about presence and showing up every day Naina's legacy word is "revolutionary." After listening, you'll understand why.
Hellooo Mossies - we now pronounce you Friday & weekend because another Moment of Silence is officially LIVE. As if this BOILING HOT WEATHER straight from the pits of hell wasn't enough, we're here to scald you with some BURNING HOT TAKES straight from the minds and mouths of Sakshi & Naina. That's right, this week we're diving deep into some good-ol'-hopefully-won't-set-an-internet-mob-after-us-but-probably-will above average temperature hot takes!We begin with a debate on what makes a take HOT? Is it the waistline or style of delivery? A short discussion on the ultra lameness of lame instagram takes, and then - are wedding videos actually war crimes on wedding guests? Is politeness the ultimate get-out-of-jail-free card? Do voice notes deserve a lifetime ban? Is Arjun Kapoor a good actor actually? All this plus a few specially hot takes from our MOS live studio audience (our lovely but insane crew) and one very hot take from a MOS listener who had a take that truly called for a moment of reflection & silence. P.S: Our hot take to end all hot takes is that anyone who doesn't subscribe to MOS is going to face some very bad luck this month.

Hi Mossies, if your gut is telling you it's Friday, YOU'RE CORRECT. We're back with a brand new episode on gut feelings & the power of your instinct. This week Naina and Sakshi talk about battling the trenches of Bandra to get to their favourite cafes, the horrors of being abandoned by your gym trainer, and the beautiful joys of getting a second Longchamp. We then asked - how do you differentiate between a gut feeling and plain old anxiety? Should you listen to your gut EVERY SINGLE TIME? Or are there times when your gut is being a loser and just playing games to mess with you? Watch the episode to find out.(Somewhere along the way, we also arrived at the unnecessary hate against the word ‘aunty' and sought justice for kitty parties. Plus, Sakshi gave tips on how to sus out a kidnapper on a first date and the girls reflected on their gut feelings about starting MOS.)Finally we have a gut feeling that we're sooooo close to 100k subs but you gotta help us get there by going and hitting like, share, comment, hype, subscribe, follow, and casually dropping MOS into every single conversation you have this week.

Helloooo Mossies & Mosquitoes! Welcome to another episode of Moment of Silence where we sat down with the one, the only, the absolutely wonderful Ella D'Verma. We started with having to pick up our jaws from the floor as we took in an ungodly level of beauty and intelligence - Ella walked us through the chaos of living her entire life on the internet, transitioning during the lockdown, and - most importantly - how to absolutely rake in that sweet Valentine's Day brand deal money.She got real about the psychological warfare of accepting a good guy after a string of failed situationships (since her boyfriend is apparently single-handedly increasing the green cover in the dating world) and alllllmost made us accept that maaaaaybe it's not all men. We can only pray the boys are taking notes. We also spoke of supportive families, mothers giving much-needed reality checks, and losing friends when life takes you places you didn't know you could go. Ella pulled back the curtain on the pageant world, and Sakshi & Naina became students as she delivered a masterclass in giving those pitch perfect Miss World answers.

Hi Mossies & Mosquitoes, we're BACK and better than ever - it's been a while, hasn't it? Welcome to another episode of Moment of Silence. Sorry for the short interruption in services, we missed you! But but Fridays have meaning again because we've officially said bye to our burnouts and have humbly returned to bringing you episodes every week. This week begins with Sakshi and Naina catching you up on all that went down during their very short sabbatical. From watching trash float up the coastline off Carter Road to praying for the light to return to our eyes, the girls had quite the month. Our resident professional shaadi attender Sakshi has beef with destination weddings, while Naina's therapy acquired nazar and her therapist may have left her. We talked about stress and the state of the world and made bunker plans for if/when the next catastrophe hits. Finally, we tried to come up with a name for MOS nation's IPL team. Comment what you think it should be. Safe to say - the gang's back at it! If you still haven't subscribed, really, come on, have some shame.

This week's episode begins with a moment of celebration because Sakshi had a birthday! Wooo! The girls went to a cricket match with the noble intention of rage-baiting men but things took an unexpected turn and Naina ended up becoming the national crush (which to be fair enraged a lot of men, so mission accomplished). From there we spiralled into a very real conversation about men stealing women's work, taking credit for their ideas, and the mysterious ability some guys have to dim a girl's shine the moment she starts doing a little toooo well for their liking. We asked the important question: how do you go to bed at night after stealing someone else's work?? Our heartfelt condolences to the girl who had her cancer research stolen and an even bigger sorry to the girl who had her instagram bio stolen.This led us to the ultimate dilemma: your man vs your career. We debated ambition, insecurity, supportive partners, unsupportive partners, and why women are so often expected to shrink themselves to make other people comfortable. Somewhere in the middle of all this, we reminded you (and us) that you just gotta do what you want, no matter what people say - because once you make it, they WILL come around. P.S: Sakshi has a new iPad but we still don't have 100k subscribers. It's very un-feminist of you to not hit subscribe so go do it now, along with liking commenting hyping following and adding our names to your final will and testament.Chaptering:00:00 – Intro, do you really need this01:33 – Naina went viral on X, became the national crush, and announced her pregnancy02:29 – What really went down in Chennai05:25 – All the planning & plotting behind Sakshi's birthday12:00 – The many times we overextended ourselves12:34 – Women's careers and men… with credit-stealing stories15:37 – The essay that had Sakshi fuming21:22 – Cancelling a meeting for a partner26:00 – Men vs women's résumés31:36 – A hack for all the men33:12 – Why we said we still needed a man in our life37:00 – OTPs becoming the next power play49:40 – Sharing the household load53:00 – The letters wrote in teens01:02:44 – Supportive parents01:04:29 – Therapy sessions, but the results 01:06:09 – Sakshi's jokes and her BF 01:08:37 – Defining what “normal” meant01:09:43 – Like, Share, Comment & SubscribeBrutally Honest Creators - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHkcqImp8gcbZHzn1secwSYYKG8dds437&si=wYCafRcBIKDy0BDCComedians Unfiltered- https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHkcqImp8gcabWOmtiYQUUXGU4ptrq9HB&si=sWm2ep8LZr8GU_7cFollow MoS on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/momentofsilencepod/reels/?hl=enCredits:Naina Bhan - Co-host and certified overthinkerhttps://www.instagram.com/nainabee?ig...Sakshi Shivdasani - Co-host, balancing out Naina's overthinking with a healthy dose of not thinkinghttps://www.instagram.com/sakshishivdasani/?hl=enSenior Producer- Amruta P. https://www.linkedin.com/in/amruta-bandivdekar-01879925Produced by "Vertical by Handmade" - Our personal cheering squad https://www.instagram.com/verticalbyhandmade?igsh=NG1vdXd5bWdsdWI3Creative direction by Tinkre, Keeper of MoS' signature “Pookie” energy Natascha Mehra https://www.instagram.com/tinkre.in/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/natascha.zip/?hl=en Researched by our very own curiosity engineer - Aashna Sharma https://www.linkedin.com/in/aashna-sharma-913146179Reel Editor - Yug Vermahttps://www.instagram.com/bass_abhiyug?igsh=MnlibHdsbG56MjNl&utm_source=qrDisclaimer: The views and opinions expressed on this podcast are for entertaining purposes only and do not necessarily reflect those of the hosts, the production team, or affiliated brand.

Happy Friday Mosquitoes & Mossies!In honour of our real life besties NEVER listening to our advice, we started this ep off with a lil bit of healing by way of giving advice to our bollywood besties who we believe had gone down the wrong path. Criminal guys and gals seem to be the flavour of the season when it comes to falling in love, and MOS does not approve. By popular demand we are back with an episode on the futility of advising your girl besties, broken female friendships, bury-the-body friends, and the myth that is a mature friendship breakup. Naina and Sakshi debate the difference between supporting your friends and enabling them, with a humble request from Sakshi to do some enabling when it comes to Meerut pronunciations. We also discussed whether our parent's generation did friendship better, Naina tried to start a pen pal community, and Sakshi requested that you remember that this is a comedy podcast - so have some pity on a bin-byaahi beti. Finally, we unpacked a few stories from MOS listeners who experienced some insane girl besties, and took a moment of silence for the mom friend of the group (hug your nearest mom friend, give them a day off, pls). Bonus: Exam szn got Sakshi feeling nostalgic and she gave us a mini-recap of a gadhyasankalan short story that has traumatized many an ICSE student.If you are a tru MOS bestie, go enable us by hitting like, share, hype, subscribe, follow, and scream it from the rooftops so that we can hit 100k.

Shripal Morakhia is an Indian serial entrepreneur best known for founding the pioneering online retail brokerage Sharekhan and the sports-entertainment venture Smaaash. His career began in the United States, where, after earning his MBA, he served as the Executive Assistant to the President of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).Following the death of his father in 1981, Morakhia returned to India to helm his family's stockbroking business, eventually establishing SSKI, an early institutional brokerage firm serving foreign investors. Beyond finance, Morakhia explored the entertainment industry by launching iDream Productions, through which he produced and distributed notable films like Bend It Like Beckham and Monsoon Wedding, and made his directorial debut with Naina in 2005.In 2012, he partnered with cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar to create Smaaash, an innovative indoor gaming and virtual reality center. While his career has been marked by high-profile successes, it has also involved complex business challenges, including the corporate insolvency proceedings of Smaaash in recent years. Morakhia recently documented his professional journey and entrepreneurial philosophy in his candid memoir, Never Say Die: My Life in Business and Entrepreneurship, where he reflects on his business setbacks and his subsequent philosophical rebuilding, now describing himself as "Shripal 2.0."
Hiii Mossies & Mosquitoes, welcome back to another episode of Moment of Silence. This week we took a moment to marvel at how lucky we are to be living in a place that is the very epitome of urban planning with smooth roads, bountiful parks, perfect air and the MOST comfortable public transport system. Is there even a place that could compete? We think not. That's right, this is an episode on all that Mumbai offers us. We talk about Indians and our civic sense, the ever-concerning AQI, construction noise, and Naina's determined quest to see a butterfly in the city. We also dive into Tu Ya Main's crocodile-infested scuba pool and discuss Shanaya Kapoor's flawed understanding of the influencer life. Sakshi takes us on a detour with a breakdown of her trip to Sri Lanka and then we make a small game of choosing between bad public facilities and particularly bad boyfriends. There's also a bit about plurals, or as Sakshi would like me to say plurii - in there, that you should not miss. Anyway, like, comment & don't stand under any bridges.

Welcome back to another episode of Moment of Silence — where Valentine's Day is less roses and more reality checks. We start gently with “Do you even believe in love?” and then we get into couple influencers monetising their fights, decode soft launches, hard launches, and breakup triangles. You've heard of Veer Pahariya, Tara Sutaria, and AP Dhillon — but what really goes wrong? We talk power couples minting money, why dating a cricketer suddenly feels strategic, and whether modern relationships are just brand collaborations with feelings attached. Of course, we couldn't resist a chaotic “Would You Rather Date” lineup featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Shahid Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor and more — so tell us in the comments which Bollywood character you're choosing and why.We also touch upon Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, confess our crush on Hrithik Roshan, share a Valentine's survival hack, and drop a slightly dangerous (but effective) strategy to get your man to finally do household chores.This episode is about love, PR, money, ego, delusion, and feminism. If you're still reading this… you're already involved.Like. Share. Comment.

Welcome back to another episode of Moment of Silence. You already know why you clicked, so let's not pretend. We're diving headfirst into this week's main character energy topic: taboo relationships. From porn and taboos being way too closely related, to the icks all thanks to the internet trends. Splitsvilla obsession, and how that chaos spilled straight into Lollapalooza. We're further unpacking age gaps, financial gaps, and the very real fitness gap (we just invented), Inter-caste, queer, lavender relationships — if it makes society uncomfortable, it made it to this episode.And let's be honest — is content creation secretly one of the most classist industries out there? We also switch gears into solving your problems — where the real villains are usually your uncle, your cousin, and sometimes, your own mother. We also introduce the 7-7-7 rule to keep romance alive and our very real takes on celebs still living in the closet. Oh, and we have a hard list of people you should never date — even if they're the last option on Earth. Not done yet. We also talked about Budget 2026 (yes, against our will), gave a round of applause to the smartest women in Meerut & more. If you're still here, help us hit 100k and become part of the chaos.Chaptering- 00:00 – We're back 00:44 – You clicked because you're nosy.

HELLO AND WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER EPISODE OF MOMENT OF SILENCE!You asked, and we delivered — pink is back, baby! From one person's trash being another person's treasure, to a trip to Baroda for a fashion show (that somehow turned into a protein intake conversation), this episode is packed with peak flopcorn moments of the week. We also get into how a gynaecologist visit can feel more like someone entering your guarded space, but when pregnancy might be knocking, you answer all the questions anyway. Sakshi's first day at work was exciting… until she had no device to work on, which led to an uncontrollable urge to order an iPad via quick commerce. And don't trust celebs who claim their favourite food spot is a random hawker — we know better.Now coming to the main topic of the episode — are romantic comedies here to stay? We dive into whether rom-coms still entice us, while revisiting a few that truly nailed the genre. Plus, we unpack all the dating advice rom-coms have fed us over the years: meet-cutes, love at first sight, beards as different phases of a man's life, and so much more.Also, Sima Taparia has written a book — thoughts? And we get real about sharing space with men, whether it's cuddling, spooning, or a hotel bathroom situation. Of course, we don't stop there — we also spill some teeny weeny (but very real) details about our own relationships.We have the winners for the Weirdest Hair Stories in association with Moxie!

Fluent Fiction - Hindi: A Republic Day Surprise: Picnic Plans Turn Into Yoga Fun Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hi/episode/2026-01-25-23-34-02-hi Story Transcript:Hi: हर साल की तरह, इस बार भी दिल्ली में गणतंत्र दिवस की छुट्टी थी।En: Like every year, there was a Republic Day holiday in Delhi this time as well.Hi: सूरज की हल्की गर्मी और ठंडी हवा नयी उमंग भर रही थी।En: The light warmth of the sun and the cold breeze were bringing new enthusiasm.Hi: इसी अवसर का लाभ उठाने के लिए, आरव, नैना और विक्रम ने लोधी गार्डन में पिकनिक का प्लान बनाया।En: To take advantage of this occasion, Arav, Naina, and Vikram planned a picnic at Lodhi Garden.Hi: लोधी गार्डन, नई दिल्ली का वह स्थल, जो इतिहास और खूबसूरती से भरा हुआ है।En: Lodhi Garden, that site in New Delhi, is full of history and beauty.Hi: वहाँ की हरियाली, प्राचीन मकबरे और दूर तक फैले पार्क इस तिकड़ी को हमेशा खींच लाते थे।En: The greenery, ancient tombs, and the far-spread park always drew this trio to it.Hi: आरव हमेशा उत्साही और थोड़ी-सी लापरवाह मिजाज का था।En: Arav was always enthusiastic and a bit carefree in nature.Hi: वो जल्दी-जल्दी पार्क में अपने दोस्तों के साथ पहुंच गया।En: He quickly made his way to the park with his friends.Hi: नैना कुछ अनिश्चित सी थी, लेकिन सबके साथ रहते हुए मजाक और हंसी का माहौल हमेशा उसे भाता था।En: Naina was a bit uncertain, but being in a jovial and laughing atmosphere with everyone always appealed to her.Hi: विक्रम को तो बस किसी नये रोमांच की तलाश रहती थी।En: Vikram was always in search of new adventures.Hi: जैसे ही तीनों गार्डन पहुंचे, उन्होंने देखा एक बड़ा सा समूह लॉन पर जमा है।En: As soon as the three reached the garden, they saw a large group gathered on the lawn.Hi: आरव ने उत्सुकता से कहा, "ये जरूर पिकनिक ग्रुप होगा!En: Arav said eagerly, "This must be a picnic group!Hi: चलो चलकर मिलते हैं।En: Let's go and meet them."Hi: " विक्रम ने हंसते हुए कहा, "हां, आरव तो पकड़े बिना किसी ग्रुप में घुस जाएगा।En: Vikram laughed and said, "Yeah, Arav would jump into any group uninvited."Hi: " नैना ने हल्की मुस्कराहट के साथ सहमति जताई, "चलो, देखते हैं।En: With a slight smile, Naina agreed, "Come on, let's see."Hi: "लेकिन वहाँ पहुँचकर उन्हें अंदाजा नहीं था कि असल में यह ग्रुप योग कक्षा की हो।En: But upon reaching there, they had no idea that it was actually a yoga class group.Hi: आरव ने मुस्कुराते हुए कहा, "क्या खूब इंतेज़ाम है!En: Arav smiled and said, "What great arrangements!Hi: ये लोग तो पहले ही खेलने लगे हैं।En: They're already playing."Hi: " और बिना ज़्यादा सोचे, तीनों उनके साथ आसन में बैठ गए।En: Without much thought, the three sat down with them for the poses.Hi: सूरज की किरणें उनके चेहरों पर पड़ रही थीं।En: The sun's rays were falling on their faces.Hi: "गहरी सांस लो, छोड़ो," प्रशिक्षक की आवाज़ गूँज रही थी।En: "Take a deep breath, release," the instructor's voice echoed.Hi: आरव को यह नया खेल लगा, और उसने उसे अनुभव करने को कहा।En: Arav thought it was a new game and decided to experience it.Hi: नैना ने चुपचाप उसकी नकल की, और विक्रम ने अजीब सा मुँह बनाकर उसका मजाक उड़ाया।En: Naina quietly mimicked him, while Vikram made a funny face and mocked him.Hi: जैसे ही योग सत्र कठिन हुआ, प्रशिक्षक ने एक जटिल आसन का निर्देश दिया।En: As the yoga session became difficult, the instructor directed a complex pose.Hi: अब आरव को संदेह होने लगा।En: Now Arav began to doubt.Hi: उसने हैरत से अपने दोस्तों को देखा, "अरे यार, यह कोई पिकनिक नहीं, योग कक्षा है!En: He looked at his friends with surprise, "Hey guys, this isn't a picnic, it's a yoga class!"Hi: " सब हंस पड़े।En: Everyone burst into laughter.Hi: विक्रम ने कहा, "आरव, तुम्हारी हवा में उड़ती कल्पना कभी गलतियों को भी मजेदार बना देती है।En: Vikram said, "Your drifting imagination sometimes makes even mistakes fun, Arav."Hi: "आखिर में, सारे लोग उनकी गलती पर मुस्कुरा रहे थे।En: In the end, everyone was smiling at their mistake.Hi: पर यह भी देखा कि वे तीनों योग का आनंद ले रहे हैं।En: But it was also observed that all three of them were enjoying the yoga.Hi: योग सत्र खत्म होने के बाद, आरव, नैना और विक्रम ने अपनी पिकनिक शुरू की।En: After the yoga session ended, Arav, Naina, and Vikram started their picnic.Hi: हंस-हंसकर पेट में दर्द होने लगा जब उन्होंने अपनी सुबह की मूर्खताएं साझा की।En: They laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt as they shared their morning's foolishness.Hi: इस मजेदार भगदड़ से आरव ने सीखा कि कभी-कभी अनजानी परिस्थितियों में भी मस्ती की जा सकती है।En: From this amusing confusion, Arav learned that one can have fun in unfamiliar situations.Hi: और वे दिनभर गार्डन में मौज-मस्ती, स्वादिष्ट खाना और ढेर सारी बातें करते रहे।En: And they continued to have fun, delicious food, and lots of conversations throughout the day in the garden.Hi: लोधी गार्डन ने इस गणतंत्र दिवस को उनके लिए यादगार बना दिया।En: Lodhi Garden made this Republic Day memorable for them.

Welcome to Moment of Silence x Desi Crime: The Last Sleepover.Remember those sleepovers where you stayed up way too late; swapping rumours, gossiping, and trying to spook your best friends with scary stories? This is our attempt to take you back to that feeling. Hosted by Aishwarya Singh, Aryaan Misra, Naina Bhan and Sakshi Shivdasani, this crossover slumber party takes you on a ride: Do ghosts exist? Does a bad date count as a paranormal experience? Is real life scarier or the afterlife? And who exactly is haunting the MOS studio? Featuring a woman with many names, a first date from hell, and a curse that came back to haunt a family - we're bringing you a whole bunch of nightmares, strange encounters, and simple horrors otherwise known as human dating. And because no sleepover is complete without summoning a spirit, a special segment called Afterlife Advice: where we try our hand at paranormal activity and answer your relationship dilemmas with a little help from our resident ghost. Dim the lights, grab a blanket + a hot bowl of something yum (and don't forget to check under your bed for monsters).

Have you ever thought of the kitchen as a place of calm, clarity, and connection? I'm thrilled to sit down with my friend and chef, Naina Bhedwar, next week on the Eating at a Meeting Podcast to talk about her new program, "Feed Your Peace." Naina has always been my go-to when it comes to Indian cuisine (I met her years ago at The Cook's Warehouse in Atlanta where I worked her classes). But now, she's blending her background in psychology, counseling, and cooking to create something truly powerful: a way to bring mindfulness into one of the most ordinary—and essential—parts of our lives, the kitchen. "Feed Your Peace" isn't just about recipes. It's about using cooking as a tool to:
Join Eden and Naina in today's episode as they speak to ex-DAG Director Ellen Huang about her extensive experience in the legal sector! What are the pros and cons to working in charity vs corporate settings? Are the rumours about 'selling your soul to corporate' true? What can advocacy look like, both within and outside of your work?
“Psychedelics trigger a unitive state, and meditation trains it.”So says Naina Eira Gupta, who researches the therapeutic potential of psychedelics and meditation.Psychedelics work because they disrupt the monkey mind, she asserts. They stop the constant chattering in your head, which is the mind's MO to perpetuate the story of ‘you'.Everything we think we have is just that, a story.“Psychedelics are assisted mind training, I would call it. They provide mental immunity”, says Naina.Then, meditation trains you to keep that base perception, to see the story for what it is.“You realize you don't have to be reactive to a particular thought or feeling, because it's just a story.“When the ego dissolves, you become so much more of an effective human being.“You can fall in love with the world. Everything becomes lighter. You don't feel so much distance between what you perceive as ‘you' and the rest of it.”What Naina hopes for is that more people have access to mind training, “because it's deeply, deeply transformative”.Different psychedelic drugs work in different ways. Some can trigger negative experiences if taken irresponsibly. According to Naina, MDMA is one of the best for pro-sociality and connectedness, because it produces very little bad experiences.Psychedelic experiences can be so transformative that it can be difficult to know what to do with them. Some kind of scaffolding around their use is needed, says Naina.“Even so, many studies now show that psychedelics are beneficial therapeutically, even just in themselves, even if you don't have a particular practice around them.”As a practicing Buddhist, Naina Gupta doesn't hold a certain metaphysics. The middle way means that you accept that reality cannot be framed or pinned down. Something is, isn't, is both and is neither, at the same time.“It's just unbelievable potential.”The cause of our suffering is the subject-object duality.Naina has several meditation practices, and she has trained herself to dream lucidly.Is this – learning how to liberate oneself from duality with the help of psychedelics, meditation and other spiritual practices – conducive to achieving a more peaceful world?“If there is any hope, it lies in this.”“I wouldn't be talking to you today if this wasn't needed.”Naina's personal page at the University of ExeterNaina on Linkedin
