Is India safest country? Indian Army | Lt. Gen. Sudarshan Hasabnis | TATS With Shardul & Omkar
India officially called Pakistan's nuclear bluff and left their military infrastructure in ruins during Operation Sindoor. After the initial 23-minute carnage, it was the 'BrahMos Blitz' on the morning of the 10th that forced a humiliated Pakistan to beg for a ceasefire. While their generals were busy handing out fake medals to hide their shame, India established total dominance in the skies. Lt Gen Sudarshan Hasabnis delivers the raw, unfiltered truth about how the neighbor was brought to its knees.Guest: Lt. Gen.

Why We Fear Aging | Dr. Nandu Mulmule | Khuspus with Omkar #amuktamuk
Why do we fear growing older? Why does it start feeling like we’re losing control once we enter our thirties or forties? How do society’s expectations of us, especially around marriage and life milestones, begin to change over time? In today’s episode, we had an honest and heartfelt conversation with Dr. Nandu Mulmule about all of this. We explore how to look at aging through the lens of gratitude, acceptance, and evolving relationships, and what he truly means when he says, “If you are 60, you are in the best phase of your life.” This episode is a deep reflection on understanding aging not as a decline, but as a meaningful transition.Guest: Dr.Nandu Mulmule (Senior Psychiatrist) Host: Omkar Jadhav.Creative Producer: Shardul Kadam.Editor: Rohit Landge.Edit Assistant: Nisarga, Priyanka Thosar.Content Manager: Sohan Mane.Social Media Manager: Sonali Gokhale.Social Media Executive: Varada Sane.Legal Advisor: Savani Vaze.Business Development Manager: Sai Kher.About The Host Omkar Jadhav.Co-founder – Amuk Tamuk Podcast NetworkPodcast Host | Writer | Director | Actor | YouTube & Podcast ConsultantWith 8+ years in digital content, former Content & Programming Head at BhaDiPa & Vishay Khol.Directed 100+ sketches, 3 web series & non-fiction shows including Aai & Me, Jhoom, 9 to 5, Oddvata.Creative Producer – BErojgaar | Asst.
