A Moment of Silence for the Things That Broke Us
NOV 28, 2025
A Moment of Silence for the Things That Broke Us

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.


Tell us in the comments: What’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever cried over?

Chaptering-

(00:00) – We’re back, emotional, lightly hydrated
(00:36) – Stop bottling it up, bestie
(01:32) – Yet another dad story (we can’t help it)

(04:32) – 14-course tasting… aka khichdi
(07:30) – Why we cry: triggers exposed
(09:13) – Saddest places to cry, ranked
(10:51) – Crying with body parts… science?
(12:51) – Women vs emotions: impossible game
(14:10) – Maths exam = certified trauma
(16:53) – School-era “not feminine enough” arc
(19:14) – Songs & movies that destroyed us
(21:13) – When THEY cry vs when he cries
(22:35) – Crying in love vs crying at work
(24:35) – Reels & ads that ruin your day
(27:50) – Ariana’s red carpet meme meltdown
(29:13) – Celebrity crush posters & teen delulu
(31:42) – Anger via venting & gossip (MOS style)
(33:22) – Kid anger vs adult anger
(38:35) – Women vs men: crying stats
(40:44) – Dependent vs independent girl POV
(42:18) – Cute dreams vs emotionally violent ones
(45:43) – Anxious girlies: hyper-vigilant edition

A Moment of Silence for Strict Parents

HELLOOOO & welcome back to another episode of MOMENT OF SILENCE This week we did a full-spectrum deep-dive — from Delhi AQI chaos to POND’S Review-the-Reviews awards and the weirdest food icks you didn’t know you needed.

We unbox content-creator life (shoutout Puja), family-vlogging privacy vs profit, and whether PDA at a family dinner is iconic or illegal. Also: hangovers, Holi, lacy lingerie and mothers who judge everything — plus the confession booth where we ask, “What have you hidden from your parents?” We finally tackle the eternal question — who pays on dates?— and decode Delhi marriage checklists, IKEA parenting stories, and the moment we introduced a whole new popcorn category (WHAT. Corn.).

Finish it off with a spicy debate on emotional vs physical cheating, and you’ve got one unhinged, very relatable episode. Grab your snacks, your purifier, and your boundaries — and tune in. Drop a comment: What’s the most embarrassing thing you’ve asked your parents for permission for?
