HELLO & welcome back to another episode of MOMENT OF SILENCEWe're back with peak vulnerability, peak chaos, and peak girl-gang energy — still manifesting that 100K era together. This week's episode is basically emotional damage with a side of healing. From flopcorns that genuinely hurt our feelings, to “I thought my life was over” moments (yes, we want yours), to college romances that were either true love or pure character development — we're unpacking it all.We get into sibling chemistry that deserves its own show, why female friendships will always be non-negotiable, and how run clubs and breathwork accidentally became our healing arcs. Things spiral (naturally) into Kim Kardashian's brain scan, karma debates, Birkenstock lore you cannot skip, and why marrying the wrong man is truly a horror genre. There's also plenty of internet chaos: Sakshi's cancellation era, Smriti Mandhana wedding rumours, Akaash & Jasleen controversy talk, and the exhausting #proudrandi discourse — followed by rapid-fire madness because peace was never the goal.And of course…#AD Go Colors enters the chat - https://gocolors.com/pages/mostlysanecollectionHit play, drop your “my life is over” moment in the comments, tag your girls — and help us hit 100K so we can spiral (and heal) together on camera.

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:

HELLO & WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER EPISODE OF MOMENT OF SILENCE — also known as the bravest space for crying, venting, healing and pretending we're fine. This week, we're deep-diving into every kind of tear: the math-exam tears, the restaurant-khichdi tears, the “my relatives didn't order noodles” tears, and the elite-level bathroom-floor crying that honestly should count as cardio.We're unpacking why women cry more, how anger shapeshifts as we grow up, and the unhinged triggers that send us into emotional spirals. There's dad affection (twice a year, respectfully), celebrity crush posters, Ariana Grande memes, scary dreams, anxious-girlie hyper vigilance, and arguments where crying becomes the main character.We're also rating the saddest places to cry, decoding crying during fights with boyfriends, and figuring out whether we're team yell-it-out or team cry-into-a-pillow.Grab your tissues, your inner child, and whatever is left of your dignity — because this episode is peak emotional Olympics.

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

I wish you were with me."Hi: आरव समझ गया कि नैना उसे कितना याद कर रही है।En: Aarav realized how much Naina was missing him.Hi: उसने प्रण लिया कि उसे मुस्कराते हुए देखना ही है।En: He resolved to see her smiling.Hi: रेयांश ने देखा कि आरव बहुत चुप-चुप है।En: Reyansh noticed that Aarav was very quiet.Hi: उसने पुछा, "क्या सोच रहे हो?"En: He asked, "What are you thinking?"Hi: आरव ने जवाब दिया, "सोच रहा हूँ कि कुछ दिनों की छुट्टी ले लूँ। नैना को सरप्राइज देने का मन है।"En: Aarav replied, "I'm thinking of taking some days off. I want to surprise Naina."Hi: रेयांश को आरव का विचार पसंद आया। उसने आरव को प्रोत्साहित किया, "जाओ, वो बहुत खुश होगी।"En: Reyansh liked Aarav's idea and encouraged him, "Go, she will be very happy."Hi: वो ईव ऑफ दिवाली थी।En: It was the eve of Diwali.Hi: आरव ने मुंबई के लिए अपनी फ्लाइट पकड़ ली।En: Aarav caught his flight to Mumbai.Hi: उसकी आँखों में एक चमक थी, जो उसे बताए जा रही थी कि यह सही फैसला है।En: There was a gleam in his eyes, assuring him it was the right decision.Hi: मुंबई पहुँचते ही उसने नैना को कॉल किया, "मैं तुम्हारी गैलरी के बाहर हूँ।"En: As soon as he reached Mumbai, he called Naina, "I'm outside your gallery."Hi: नैना हक्की-बक्की रह गई।En: Naina was taken aback.Hi: उसने दरवाजा खोला तो आरव को देखकर उसकी आंखों में खुशी के आंसू थे।En: She opened the door, and upon seeing Aarav, tears of joy filled her eyes.Hi: दोनों की मुलाकात काफी समय बाद हो रही थी।En: They were meeting after a long time.Hi: انہوں نے ایک-दूसरे को गले लगाकर दिवाली की शुभकामनाएं दीं।En: They embraced each other and wished each other a happy Diwali.Hi: आरव और नैना ने मिलकर चिराग जलाए, मिठाइयाँ खाईं, और रंगोलियों का आनंद लिया।En: Together, Aarav and Naina lit lamps, ate sweets, and enjoyed the rangolis.Hi: उस दिन, दोनों ने महसूस किया कि भावनात्मक जुड़ाव बनाए रखने के लिए केवल बातचीत नहीं, बल्कि साथ होने का महत्व होता है।En: That day, they realized that maintaining an emotional connection requires more than conversation; being together is crucial.Hi: रेयांश, जो हमेशा से आरव के रिश्ते को लेकर संशय में था, ने आरव की और नैना की खुशी देखकर माना कि लंबी दूरी का रिश्ता भी मुमकिन है, बस सच्चे प्रयास और अच्छे संचार से।En: Reyansh, who had always been doubtful about Aarav's relationship, accepted after seeing Aarav and Naina's happiness that a long-distance relationship is possible with true effort and good communication.Hi: इस तरह, आरव और नैना ने दिवाली सचमुच रोशन की।En: In this way, Aarav and Naina truly illuminated Diwali.Hi: आरव ने जाना कि प्यार के लिए समय निकालना सबसे बड़ी खुशी है।En: Aarav learned that taking time for love is the greatest joy.Hi: इस दिवाली के साथ, उनके रिश्ते में एक नया सवेरा आया था।En: With this Diwali, a new dawn came in their relationship.

We finally did it — the 100th episode of Moment of Silence and oh boy, the drama didn't take a day off. Between hate comments, cat phobias, and “Ambani-level” sacrifices, this episode has everything — comedy, chaos, and a side of self-awareness.Naina shares her most iconic hate comment moment (spoiler: she kinda agrees with it), Sakshi opens up about grief and grandma memories, and somewhere in between, there's a deep dive on micro-feminism, PR beefs, and the eternal debate — can women really have it all?

HELLO AND WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER EPISODE OF MOMENT OF SILENCE! Wishing you a Happy Independence Day This week's episode? Honestly… it's just a re-introduction. Think of it as a chaotic catch-up with friends you haven't seen in a while—except the friends are oversharing on the internet. From finding out the oddly specific things we love (and hate) about each other to casually dropping our most non-feminist thoughts, it's peak “us.”We spiral into pre-shoot insecurities, the Orange Peel Theory TikTok trend, and the suspiciously dramatic way MOS Pod actually began. There's also AI digging up our past lives, a few lies and an unnecessarily deep dive into the politics of cuddling.Add in Dwayne Johnson & Jason Momoa fangirling, why shooting intimate scenes is actual torture, men's weird relationship with feelings, and the eternal debate—would you rather be Sakshi or Naina? It's unserious, but somehow still wholesome.

HELLO AND WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER EPISODE OF MOMENT OF SILENCE! This week's episode is basically a crash course in how not to survive a reality show. From Sakshi “accidentally” landing on MTV Supermodel of the Year to learning about a ₹3 crore clause straight out of a Bollywood contract, we're deep-diving into the chaos that is TV. We've got Malaika Arora's secret scoring system, Milind Soman stories you didn't see coming, and producers serving insults disguised as “mentoring” (TRPs feasting, obviously). There's also Anusha Dandekar telling Sakshi to jump, a task involving distracting Milind (and Ujjawal Raut living his best life), and the cameras catching every tear for maximum drama.We're spilling tea on cosmetic transformation shows, Pakistani Roadies, and the sacred MOS pod ground rule. Plus, Sakshi's life after elimination—spoiler: no, she didn't join another show (yet).

Naina Batra, CEO of AVPN, offers a forward-looking and strategic view into the evolution of social investment across Asia. With the upcoming launch of ImpactCollab, AVPN is not merely introducing a platform — it is catalyzing an infrastructure for cross-border philanthropy and capital deployment across Asia's fragmented social impact landscape. AVPN is a social investment network based in Asia and a leading ecosystem-builder that aims to move capital towards impact. ImpactCollab is a platform that has been designed with the support of the Monetary Authority of Singapore and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. It has been designed to address long-standing inefficiencies and trust deficits that hamper giving in the region. It targets a critical and under-leveraged segment: the region's burgeoning population of centi-millionaires and high-net-worth individuals who are eager to give back but often lack the guidance, transparency, and assurance necessary to do so confidently. By functioning simultaneously as a knowledge base, a due diligence engine, and a matchmaking platform, ImpactCollab seeks to bridge the trust gap and remove systemic friction from philanthropic flows. Batra notes this is Asia's moment to lead. Faced with mounting social inequities, climate disasters, and reversals in gender parity and nutrition, the region demands urgent, coordinated responses. AVPN's expansion underscores its commitment to mobilizing a pan-Asian community of social investors — from grantmakers and family offices to development finance institutions and policymakers. An interesting feature of ImpactCollab lies in its governance maturity framework and data-driven nonprofit scorecard. These tools serve dual purposes: instilling confidence in funders while streamlining reporting burdens for nonprofits, many of whom face opaque and restrictive foreign funding environments. AVPN's approach — aggregating capital, reducing duplicative reporting, and embedding transparency — is aimed at producing systemic change. Batra's conviction is clear: wealth in Asia is abundant; what is lacking is a trusted, efficient conduit to mobilize that wealth toward lasting impact. ImpactCollab is AVPN's bold answer to that challenge. Thank you for downloading this episode of the Do One Better Podcast. Visit our Knowledge Hub at Lidji.org for information on 300 case studies and interviews with remarkable leaders in philanthropy, sustainability and social entrepreneurship.  

In the first episode of Season 9, our hosts Naina, Eden, and Meghna get personal as they reflect on their career paths so far and what it means to grow up navigating work, culture, and identity.
