Moment of Silence

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? All this and more in this week's episode of Moment of Silence!Go watch like, share, comment, hype, and spread the propaganda that anyone who doesn't help us hit 100k will have their nose hair grow five feet long.

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.
