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.

In this episode of Tech Talks, Mahima Singh interviews Sakshi Jain, Head of Go-To-Market Strategy for North America at AWS, who shares her career journey and perspectives on the impact of AI on the technology industry. Sakshi reflects on her path from Microsoft to McKinsey to Amazon, emphasizing intentional learning, adaptability, and cross-functional experience as key drivers of growth. She highlights how AI is reshaping cloud and enterprise strategy, pushing organizations to rethink how they build and compete. Sakshi discusses major industry shifts, including AI-driven infrastructure, rising productivity expectations, and increasing investment in AI. She explains that competitive advantage now depends on data, model performance, and the ability to embed AI into workflows. She also shares how she uses AI to enhance efficiency and decision-making, while emphasizing the importance of critical thinking. Sakshi advises students to build AI fluency and problem-solving skills. The discussion concludes with insights on agentic AI and a future where AI automates execution while humans focus on strategy.
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.

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.

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.

In this episode of Third Party Risk Perspectives, host Chris Sindik, Senior Director of Third-Party Risk and Due Diligence at Blue Umbrella, sits down with Sakshi Sharma, Assistant Manager and leader of Blue Umbrella's monitoring team, to explore the fast-evolving world of terrorist financing. Sakshi shares frontline insights into both traditional funding methods—such as counterfeit goods, drug trafficking, charity fraud, and illicit oil sales—and the next-generation tactics reshaping the threat landscape. Together, they discuss how terrorist groups now exploit social media, online gaming, digital payments, deepfakes, and AI-powered propaganda to recruit vulnerable youth, launder money, and spread misinformation. Listeners will learn: • How modern online platforms enable covert recruitment and financial flows • Why deepfakes and AI increase the effectiveness of terrorist propaganda • How scammers manipulate youth culture through “easy money” schemes • What organizations and individuals can do to stay vigilant • Why awareness, skepticism, and strong internal controls are more critical than ever This is an essential conversation for compliance professionals, risk leaders, parents, and anyone navigating today's hyperconnected world.
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!

HELLO & welcome back to another episode of MOMENT OF SILENCEThis week's episode is about one thing: Rage-corn.We talk about all the everyday situations that instantly make our blood boil — men having fun after sunset, people working painfully slow when you're already running late, babies crying on airplanes, and people cutting lines at post offices and metro stations. We also get into peak airport entertainment: family chaos at the luggage drop counter and why punctuality (or the lack of it) is Sakshi's biggest trigger.Quickly getting into salons with no mirrors, unreasonable extra charges, awkward tipping culture (NRIs, we need to talk), to vibrating massagers nobody asked for. We also break down why ordering food or eating out with parents versus partners is a completely different experience, each with its own emotional cost.The episode moves into smaller, quieter irritations too — joke debates around “can” vs “cancelled,” the joy of raw-dogging sleep (no phone, no noise), and whether the Cinderella gland is real or just another internet lie. We read out audience responses on the pettiest revenge they've ever taken, Naina reveals her high-school bully was a guy, and we discuss how women still end up centring men even after ages. We end with chaos, obviously — the biggest prank the MOS team has ever pulled on Sakshi, quick call-ins, and the idea of a workout theme on the 2nd MOS Anniversary. Tell us in the comments: what's the tiniest thing that instantly ruins your mood? And of course… #AD Moxie's Styling Range doing the most — good hair days, but make them effortless.https://moxiebeauty.in/collections/style-sculptingWebsite: https://moxiebeauty.in/Chaptering:(00:00) – We're back and already annoyed(00:51) – Rage-Corn over pop & flopcorn this week(03:06) – Airplanes: undoing years of therapy at 30,000 ft(05:45) – Cutting the queue, not allowed(09:14) – Asking the WRONG person for help (blood pressure rising)(11:40) – Hair stylist beef & the no-mirror salon we didn't consent to(13:55) – Salon tipping culture: NRIs, explain yourselves(14:37) – Vibrating massager at the salon???

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.

“The Lord heard the story of Sakshi-gopala with great pleasure because He wanted to impress upon the atheists that the worshipable Deities in the temples approved by the great acharyas are not idols, as alleged by men with a poor fund of knowledge.” (Shrila Prabhupada, Shrimad Bhagavatam, Introduction)

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?
Sakshi Porwal is the Global CISO and Vice President at Compunnel. In this episode, she joins host Amanda Glassner to discuss how AI is impacting the CISO role and the treat landscape, the biggest opportunities and challenges for enterprises, and more. • For more on cybersecurity, visit us at https://cybersecurityventures.com
The glories of Lord Gopāla, who is merciful to brāhmaṇas, are very great. The narration of Sākṣi-gopāla was spoken by Nityānanda Prabhu and heard by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Purport There are four points of instruction one should consider in the story of Sākṣi-gopāla. First, the Deity (arcā-vigraha) of Śrī Gopāla is eternally sac-cid-ānanda-vigraha, the transcendental form of the Lord. Second, the Deity surpasses material regulative principles and extends the reality of transcendental principles. Third, one can be situated in a transcendental position after becoming a brāhmaṇa, but as a brāhmaṇa, one has to follow the regulative principles very strictly. Lastly, brahmaṇya-deva indicates Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa Himself, who is worshiped thus: namo brahmaṇya-devāya go-brāhmaṇa-hitāya ca/ jagad-dhitāya kṛṣṇāya govindāya namo namaḥ. This indicates that a devotee who is under the protection of Kṛṣṇa is automatically situated as a brāhmaṇa, and such a brāhmaṇa is not illusioned. This is factual.

HELLO AND WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER EPISODE OF MOMENT OF SILENCE!
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. Hit play.Too lazy for full episodes? we made you a mixtape.MOS Moments- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHkcqImp8gcZxeRyyykvV-YahiCRESCC0Follow MoS on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/momentofsilencepod?igsh=bmYwMTRqNmVuZjFnCredits:Naina Bhan - Co-host and certified overthinkerhttps://www.instagram.com/nainabee?igsh=MXNqbmVha2t1ZzFoOQ==Sakshi Shivdasani - Co-host, balancing out Naina's overthinking with a healthy dose of not thinkinghttps://www.instagram.com/sakshishivdasani?igsh=MWExamVoMXV4MDNsNQ==Produced by Handmade - Our personal cheering squad https://www.instagram.com/thehandmadeproductions/?hl=enCreative direction by Tinkre, Keeper of MoS' signature “Pookie” energy Natascha Mehrahttps://www.instagram.com/tinkre.in/ https://www.instagram.com/natascha.zip/ Reels edited by Riyan Dalvi - Our meme maestro and unofficial expert on the male psychehttps://www.instagram.com/desiryangaming/ Researched by our very own curiosity engineer - Aashna Sharma https://www.linkedin.com/in/aashna-sharma-913146179/(00:00) We are BACK (again)(00:30) Subscribe and help us reach 100k(00:43) The chaotic RE-INTRODUCTION nobody asked for(03:38) Things we love (and lowkey hate) about each other(08:40) Our most non-feminist brain cells speaking(10:27) Pre-shoot insecurities ft. spiralling(15:41) The Orange Peel Theory TikTok made us do it(21:25) MOS Pod origin story (chaos edition)(22:23) Dating routines: the unglamorous truth(24:03) AI exposes our past lives (kinda)(25:47) Lies we told(28:14) The politics of cuddling(31:22) Fangirl meltdown: Dwayne Johnson & Jason Momoa(33:52) Why shooting intimate scenes is pure hell(39:57) Men's mysterious connection to feelings(41:09) MOS Pod's glow-up(46:13) Being Sakshi vs. Being NainaDisclaimer: 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.

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).

Shownotes:The businesses most likely to succeed are those that are born to solve real life problems. Would you agree?For Sakshi Mittal, a Wharton educated, investor at Softbank, a health crisis during her first pregnancy was the trigger to her entrepreneurial journey. The result was Foodhak – a physical and digital ecosystem that challenges the food industry and makes 'food as medicine' accessible to all. Technology and AI are used at Foodhak to gain insights from the latest research and empower consumers in their dietary choices. The first time I heard Sakshi (her child was in the audience with a minder) speak at the India Week in London, I was intrigued by Foodhak (the name), her ‘food as medicine' mantra, her decision to move away from a highly successful career at Softbank etc…. So I decided to dig deeper and invited her to be a guest on The Elephant in the Room.In this free flowing conversation we spoke about
My Melbourne is a powerful and uplifting new collaborative feature made with an array of established Indian directors and emerging Australian filmmakers, alongside a diverse group of writers behind the scenes, who each bring one of four stories of Naarm-Melbourne to life on screen.My Melbourne opens with the narrative called Nadini, it's directed by Onir with co-direction from William Duan. This story followed Indraneel, played brilliantly by Arka Das, and his partner Chris (Jackson Gallagher), who both prepare for the arrival of Indraneel's father, Mihir (Mouli Ganguly), in Melbourne to perform the Asthi Visarjan (ash-scattering) of Indraneel's mother.This is followed by Jules, directed by Arif Ali, with Imtiaz Ali as the creative director and Tammy Yang as the co-director. Jules tells the story of Sakshi (Arushi Sharma), an Indian woman moving into the world of chef work at a prestigious restaurant. She encounters abuse and resistance from her distanced husband who demands she lives a life in service of him. Sakshi's life is disrupted in interesting ways by the appearance of the homeless woman Jules (Kat Stewart) who sleeps rough outside the restaurant.The third story follows Emma, played by Ryanna Skye Lawson. Emma is directed by Rima Das with Samira Cox working as a co-director. Emma lives with Usher's Syndrome, which impacts her hearing and her ability to dance. We follow Emma's journey as a dancer as she encounters discrimination, all the while finding her path to dancing her way.The final story is Setara's story, following the 15-year-old Afghan refugee Setara (played by Setara Amiri) as she immerses herself in her new school, and finds her way into the schools cricket team. Setara is directed by Kabir Khan, with co-direction by Puneet Gulati.My Melbourne is a narratively rich, powerful and uplifting film about diverse lives in Melbourne. It's an enriching and grounded experience which encourages audiences to see their city differently - namely, through the eyes of diverse folk who we rarely get to see or hear on screen. Much like its northern counterpart, the 2022 film Here Out West, My Melbourne is a collaborative experience that aims to change what stories we hear on screen.In the following interview with producer Mitu Bhowmick Lange, we talk about the journey to the screen for My Melbourne, while also touching on the importance of the collaborative relationship between Indian filmmakers and Australian storytellers. We also talk about the creative journey for the script writing process, and what it means for emerging filmmakers to be able to work alongside directors like Onir, Kamir Khan, Rima Das, and Arif Ali, who have each created rich bodies of work in Indian cinema.My Melbourne is heading out into cinemas today, from 6 March 2025. I strongly encourage you to head out into the cinema to catch this brilliant film and to show filmmakers and funding filmmakers that diverse voices are important and what we need to hear on screen. As I mention at the close of this interview, I would love to see films like My Melbourne and Here Out West inspire filmmakers in other cities to create similar diverse stories of their home on screen.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQhQEryxDQg Hosted on Acast.
