Moment of Silence

HELLOOO MOSquitoes - your Friday delivery from MOS is here and we’re not even asking for an OTP. [BUT WE ARE ASKING YOU TO PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION AROUND THE 30-MIN MARK FOR THIS EPISODE - THERE’S A SPECIAL SURPRISE FOR YOU. DON’T MISS IT.] This week, Sakshi & Naina are addressing something they’ve never addressed before. A fresh and novel topic straight from the minds that run MOS. For the first time ever in 146 episodes. After much begging & pleading we’re finally speaking about: TRAVEL.That’s right - can’t believe we never said a word about this until now. But don’t worry we’re ready to course-correct. The girls took a lil mini-vacay to Alibaug with their respective beaus and came in strong with the tea. From the joys of having a boat guy to the legend of the kookaburra cricket bat, this one is full of trip lore featuring MOS nation’s first gentlemen. Naina gave a shoutout to couples who match your freak on vacation (AKA go to sleep at 10 pm), and Sakshi gave us the correct code of ethics when it comes to…

Hellooo Mossies, this week we are bringing out the fangs - for the dumbest reasons we have ever been icked out by someone. Their handwriting. Their laugh. The way they said a word once.

Hellooo lovely people of MOS. We’re recording from home again this week, but we promise we’ll be back to regular programming next time! This one’s a bit of a heavy conversation: we talk about the recent cases of assault against women and the fear, anger and exhaustion they’ve left us feeling. Once again, we’re asking: when will women be able to step out of their homes and feel safe? Will we see that happen in our lifetime? And how do we live with the constant worry that something could happen every time we step out? We also ask whether Mumbai is actually as safe as we keep telling ourselves it is, and talk about the things we do to protect ourselves (even though that responsibility should NOT actually be on us). We’d like to hear how you’ve been feeling too. Leave your thoughts in the comments, and share this episode with someone you’d want to have this conversation with. See you next week. Take care of yourselves and each other. Chaptering: 00:00 - Introduction 00:32 - Recent vacation deets & how foreigners…

Helloooo lovely people of MOS!

Naina was out there doing the equally difficult and deeply underrated job of being a supportive friend.

Hiii mosquitoes, welcome back to another episode of Moment of Silence! This week, Sakshi and Naina get into the question that starts stalking every woman at some point in her twenties: motherhood. Do we actually want kids? Would we make good moms? What if your baby is radioactive? How do you pick the right person to have a child with?

This episode, our resident lovebirds Ella & Vansh are getting into the topic of relationship weight gain - the couple kilos, getting comfortable with a partner, eating to celebrate, body image, and what happens when falling in love also means embracing every version of your partner. They talk about food as a love language, how their bodies have changed over the years, how that affects their love life, and navigating attraction when neither of you looks exactly like you did when you first met.

And for our first season we have our favourite internet cuties Ella and Vansh.

Mossies, you guys did it!! You gorgeous people finally got us past tension & straight to the climax because we have hit 100k and nope, will not be shutting up about it for the next 30 business years. 100k hugs to this beautiful community ❤️ But don't worry we're not slacking just because we're the biggest podcast in the world now: Friday always comes around & so does your episode. This week the girls are going into the bedroom (metaphorically only) to open the conversation on intimacy and all the insecurities that come with it in the big 2026. With certified intimacy coordinator Naina Bhan in the house, we decoded a few stories sent in by our lovely listeners and told you exactly how insecurities can go f*ck themselves. This one's for all the girlies who keep thinking about laundry even when they're getting very down & dirty.

Helloo people of MOS, this week on Moment of Silence we had the internet's resident relationshit-stirrer visit us in the studio for a very special Rakhi episode. That’s right: the much requested Sir Raunaq Rajani took over the couch and delivered a year’s worth of chaos: on evergreen IP secrets, yoga class exploitation, a detention arc, and the life-changing experience of wearing MOS merch for the first time. After spilling some tea (and only one whole cup of coffee), Raunaq and Sakshi went head to head on whether ganjis are acceptable sleep fashion and we still do not have a conclusive answer so we are leaving it in the comments where it belongs. Safe to say Raunaq is now a certified Mosquito after this one so hit that play button and say a little prayer for our couch while you are at it. Speaking of prayers: did you know all of yours will be answered if we hit 100k? Better go subscribe NOW. One of your eyebrows might fall off if you don’t do it. See you next week! 00:00 – we’re already unhinged 00:30 –…

Hiii Mossies & Mosquitoes, your favourite neighbourhood yappers are back this Friday with a brand new episode - so grab your emotional support beverage, snuggle up & hit that play button harder than any angry father ever could! This week began with the complete saga of Sakshi’s lost baggage & smoothly segued into our freshest offering: a new segment called MOS Show & Tell - and boy did the girls show & absolutely tell. Something in the air then called for a lil jumpscare look back into the past as Sakshi & Naina decided to revisit their latest (and hopefully very last) heartbreaks to give you the complete MOS special guide to coping with breakups & getting over your ex. From diving head-first into that glow-up journey to ramming straight into that rebound on day 5 to the reality of standing in divorce court after cosplaying at marriage… this one’s got it ALL. Lastly, did you know that your a**hole ex develops an itch on their left foot every time you subscribe to MOS? Help us break up with not having 100k…

Hiii Mossies, it is that time of the week again - we are back and the couch was feeling a lil extra hot because we had TWO beautiful guests joining us. The stunning miss Ida Ali is officially making her MOS debut while the magnificent miss Kareema is well on her way to becoming our honorary regular. With Independence Day just around the corner we were feeling that patriotism bubbling up inside us, so we thought we'd have little chat about the movies that remind us why we love being Indian - and who better to do it with than our fellow podcaster girls from "why are the curtains blue?" From Luck By Chance to Rang De Basanti to Raazi to... Ladies vs Ricky Bahl? This one's got reccos you'll never see coming - so go hit that play button already.

Pavitra finally revealed her criteria for appointing you a best friend and we are eager to find out if we made the cut. Also a master hoarder of gossip, Pavitra helped us deep dive into the ethics of this sacred art form. We also got her to spill the tea on fellow comedians and tried to unpack a few gossip themed moral dilemmas - in which Pavitra's mom might have caught some unnecessary strays.

Hellooo Mossies, cancel the ab workout because this episode will have you laughing your way to that 6-pack. The hilarious, awe-inspiring, gorgeous Prashasti Singh walked into the MOS studio and did not stop delivering for a single second. Prashasti shared her workout woes and the struggles of being a celeb at the gym. We tried to bring up role models for Indian women and somehow ended up with an iconic story about a microwave donation scheme. Prashasti then gave us a sneak peek into what it really means to come to terms with being single, thriving in your 30s on your own terms, and her very specific ritual of pining before channeling it into comedy gold. Safe to say, this one’s a little unhinged, and A LOT of fun. Okay now go like, share, comment, hype, subscribe & help us get to 100k if you want to atone for your sins.

The khi-khi is slightly on pause because we wanted to sit down and have a conversation about what we are feeling about everything that is happening in the country right now.

Hellooo people of MOS world, time to wear your happy hour seatbelts because you're about to crash into a GRAND ol' time! This week we were graced with the presence of ray of sunshine herself Miss PKB - which honestly we thought stood for perfection, kindness & beauty, but it actually stands for - PRABLEEN KAUR BHOMRAH!! Prableen took us along on her skin positivity and PCOS journey and we all commiserated to hate on adult acne. Then, Prableen gave us ALLL the tea on her recent shaadi and we got a lil b*tchy with wedding hot takes: from guests who only get plates if they hit the dancefloor, to relatives who have nothing better to do than ruin a bride's day, to answering who is supposed to eat the first bite of an engagement cake - this episode is the ultimate girl hang gone RIGHT. Speaking of rails, we are on TRACK to 100k but YOU can help us get there sooo much quicker just by by liking, commenting, sharing and hyping us!! And did you know that you get +100 blessings every time you subscribe to MOS channel?…

Hiii Mossies, no need to hold your horses (unless your horse just wants a hug) because WE’RE BACK with another episode this fine evening! Naina is freshly returned from the land of our colonizers and sooo ready to give us the lowdown with stories involving wrong trains, airport divorces and a plea for a mandatory photography course for the boyfriends of gorgeous women. Trains seemed to be a recurring theme this episode as we also tried to solve the trolley problem and debated some very pressing moral dilemmas such as: Should you betray your best friend with a chopped pic on her birthday? Does your daughter deserve a stanley? What if the birkin of husbands wanted to leave your bestfriend for you? Can the European trip reeeally wait when your son is failing maths?The answers to all this, and then a classic twist on the classic trolley problem. Speaking of moral compasses (moral compii) you should really check yours because it’s broken if you haven’t subscribed yet. Hit like share comment hype subscribe and…

Hellloooo Mossies, you’re in for a treat this week because THE MYSTERIOUS MR. SHAMIK CHAKRABARTI is in the house. Sakshi & Naina dug deep into what makes Shamik tick with answers to widely requested questions like what is his favourite colour and what is it like staring at the tree outside his window in Bandra. Then, because there are never enough comedians getting into controversies, we asked him for his hot takes, and boy were they hot. From putting a ban on celebrity couples to hating on people in Zone 1 Boarding, to demanding that shellfish get out of their shells already - this episode is a rollercoaster of emotions, if a rollercoaster is full of emotions involving laughter. Finally the take that is hotter than the heat of a thousand suns is that we need to be at 100k already - so go SUBSCRIBE and like and comment and share and hype and spread the word of MOS far and wide. 00:00 Shamik Chakrabarti on the pod 02:50- Shamik's favourite colour 03:39- Is Shamik dating? 05:40- Pop or Flopcorn 07:17-…

Hello again Mossies! This week on MOS we finally settled the debate that has been brewing since episode one. Who is the main character of this podcast and who has been the side character all along? Naina and Sakshi sat down, had it out - and as it turns out it’s YOU MOSSIES that are the actual stars of this establishment. We then had a deep thought-provoking debate on what are the traits that separate a main character from a side character, and most importantly… which one are YOU? We asked the questions that matter: is the five second rule only for NPCs? Is carrying out bodily functions with your camera off okay? If our plane got hijacked at what point can we continue watching our movie? And if we got stranded on a deserted island, who’d be the one to steal everyone’s rations? We have a very strong suspect. Watch the episode to find out. P.S: The most main character thing you can do right now is like, comment, share, hype, subscribe, and get us to 100k. Only the characters that get killed in horror movies…

ATTENTION people of MOS: our new episode is LIVE and the weekend is officially open. This week we were feeling nostalgic about that one guy who never gave us closure so we decided to do a deep dive into unsolved mysteries. Sakshi is officially back from Australia and gave us the full trip update, adding yet another feather to her shaadi-attending hat. From there we dove into the mysteries that may never be solved aka where do lost scrunchies go, how does the salon lady lather a full head with a coin-sized amount, and what do boyfriends do when they're not with you? We also got into the mystery of Roopkund Lake: skeletons, child-free ancient Indians, and a certain dancing plague (feat. Chunari Chunari). Then we unpacked the lost treasure of the Son Bhandar Caves and debated whether MOS needs to launch an official mission to find Bimbisara's gold. But honestly, the only mystery that really needs solving is why we haven't hit 100k yet. Go like, comment, share, hype, subscribe… or one of your ears might just…

Namaste Mossies, it's Friday again and this time it's HOT TAKES SZN 2 - go grab yourself a beverage with extra ice because the takes this time are HOT as they come. We kicked things off with Naina mounting a quick & passionate defence of her opinion from Hot Takes Pt 1 that drew some flak, with a special shoutout to the OG feminist - father Bhan.From there we got into our unreasonably unpopular opinions about the struggles of being drop dead gorgeous, the terrors of being invoice rich but cash poor, and the gaping wealth inequality between influencers and their internet overlords. The girls also wondered about the choice to be childfree, and debated if pets are better than kids (pets - 1, human child - 0, for now). Our studio audience stepped up with some certifiable controversial opinions - that men are the true masters of spreading gossip, and that apparently pigeons deserve justice. Meanwhile, our listeners were quite UNHINGED with the takes they sent in (NGL we were concerned). We're talking girl code on…

The most gorgeous MISS KAREEMA BARRY has returned to Moment of Silence podcast. This time, we actually gave her a chance to speak, and what's better than getting this trio to speak about female friendship and why it means a lot to them.

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…

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…

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 &…

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,…

That’s right, this is the episode where Naina and Sakshi get into their dumbest deepest darkest jealousies (promise it's different from all the others). From middle school body hair trauma to adult adulting insecurities that hold us back, this is one of those episodes that will make you laugh, make you cry, make you realise that there's not one original experience on this planet.

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 &…

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…

This week’s episode is a tiny bit of a financial intervention… because for many of us, money talk is deeply uncomfortable. As your Internet besties, sometimes we have to hold you accountable and push you to make decisions that honour that best version of you. Saving money, investing money, filing taxes — yup it makes us sweat behind the knees too. But instead of letting your dad, brother or boyfriend handle your finances or WORSE not deal with your money at all— 2026 the mossies get financially literate. Join us as we ask the dumbest finance questions so you don’t have to. And welcome finance girlie and fairy god sister Sonia Shenoy to guide us along this journey. Sonia started her career as a TV presenter but somehow took a very unplanned detour into the world of content and turned out pretty successful. Safe to say you’re in good hands!

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…

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…

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…

Welcome back to another episode of Moment of Silence — where Valentine’s Day is less roses and more reality checks. We start gently with “Do you even believe in love?” and then we get into couple influencers monetising their fights, decode soft launches, hard launches, and breakup triangles. You’ve heard of Veer Pahariya, Tara Sutaria, and AP Dhillon — but what really goes wrong? We talk power couples minting money, why dating a cricketer suddenly feels strategic, and whether modern relationships are just brand collaborations with feelings attached. Of course, we couldn’t resist a chaotic “Would You Rather Date” lineup featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Shahid Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor and more — so tell us in the comments which Bollywood character you’re choosing and why. We also touch upon Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, confess our crush on Hrithik Roshan, share a Valentine’s survival hack, and drop a slightly dangerous (but effective) strategy to get your man to finally do household chores. This episode is about love, PR, money,…

Welcome back to another episode of Moment of Silence. You already know why you clicked, so let’s not pretend. We’re diving headfirst into this week’s main character energy topic: taboo relationships. From porn and taboos being way too closely related, to the icks all thanks to the internet trends. Splitsvilla obsession, and how that chaos spilled straight into Lollapalooza. We’re further unpacking age gaps, financial gaps, and the very real fitness gap (we just invented), Inter-caste, queer, lavender relationships — if it makes society uncomfortable, it made it to this episode. And let’s be honest — is content creation secretly one of the most classist industries out there? We also switch gears into solving your problems — where the real villains are usually your uncle, your cousin, and sometimes, your own mother. We also introduce the 7-7-7 rule to keep romance alive and our very real takes on celebs still living in the closet. Oh, and we have a hard list of people you should never date — even if they’re…

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…

Welcome to Moment of Silence x Desi Crime: The Last Sleepover.Remember those sleepovers where you stayed up way too late; swapping rumours, gossiping, and trying to spook your best friends with scary stories? This is our attempt to take you back to that feeling. Hosted by Aishwarya Singh, Aryaan Misra, Naina Bhan and Sakshi Shivdasani, this crossover slumber party takes you on a ride: Do ghosts exist?

Featuring a woman with many names, a first date from hell, and a curse that came back to haunt a family - we’re bringing you a whole bunch of nightmares, strange encounters, and simple horrors otherwise known as human dating. And because no sleepover is complete without summoning a spirit, a special segment called Afterlife Advice: where we try our hand at paranormal activity and answer your relationship dilemmas with a little help from our resident ghost. Dim the lights, grab a…

This week on the Moment of Silence podcast we’re discussing what’s in and out of 2026 — shimmies are in (two, not three, please), optimism is high, and ditching the calculator was… a terrible decision. Especially when Galeries Lafayette rent math enters the chat.2026 is shaping up to be a certified popcorn year and we’re choosing hope. Further we’re unpacking the new normal we’re all pretending is fine. We dive into predictions with Baba Vanga (credible or cap?), debate who AI is really for — the rich or poor — and talk hate comments when one co-host says something and the other gets dragged.Are marriages, babies, and memories back in fashion for 2026? Maybe. Is math homework still traumatic? Definitely. Even with parental help.There’s a rapid-fire - What’s In / What’s Out powered by Moxie, a real talk on skinny culture making a comeback, the pressure on new moms to “bounce back,” and whether Ozempic is here to stay or on its way out.Plus: finding love in your 50s (yes, even in senior living), our personal…

Welcome to 2026 — where resolutions are loud, motivation lasts 24 hours, and reality hits before the cheese Maggi finishes boiling. In this episode of Moment of Silence Podcast, we give you a first look at the NEW MOS Studio and ask the uncomfortable question: are we actually better versions of ourselves this year, or just rebranded? We talk about New Year resolutions that didn’t even survive Jan 1, healthy eating plans sabotaged by chips, food delivery apps we swore we’d boycott (but didn’t), and the chaos of trying to “do better” without changing habits. Things escalate quickly — from an unexpected encounter with Radhika Merchant, to entering the kitchen with good intentions and exiting with near-death trauma. We tick off bucket-list moments, unpack the fear and freedom of solo travel, and relive losing money in euros on our Amsterdam trip (which hurt more than expected). From Indian music feeling oddly comforting abroad, to nightfall meaning two very different things (wink wink), to questionable massage…

We’re starting this episode on a high — celebrating our Spotify Wrapped 2025 win, looking back at the things we actually showed up for this year, and recapping how 2025 really went. From there, things spiral in true MOS fashion. We play Guilty or Not?, debate whether Goa is still the default New Year’s Eve personality. The conversation then takes a sharp turn into rich-people behaviour. Somewhere in between, Kim Kardashian’s pubic hair wig enters the chat — followed by a much-needed, grown-girl conversation on intimate hygiene in collaboration with Lactacyd, the world’s No.1 intimate care brand. Lactacyd’s scientifically formulated intimate wash is designed specifically for intimate skin, helping maintain hygiene and comfort as part of your everyday self-care routine — because taking care of yourself should be normal. We also launched the MOS website’s Gossip Wall, sharing ways people catch cheaters, and finally hosting the MOS Awards 2025. #ADCheck out @India.Lactacyd – the world’s no. 1 intimate care…

HELLO & welcome back to another episode of MOMENT OF SILENCE This 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…

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…

HELLO & welcome back to another episode of MOMENT OF SILENCE. We’re back with peak chaos, peak honesty, and peak girl-gang energy — and yes, we’re manifesting that 100K milestone together. This week’s episode feels like a full-time personality test: From December refusing to end, to discovering yet another patriotic dish, to Naina’s dramatic airport arc (Indigo, please), it’s giving India’s most unserious podcast — but make it comforting. We dive into the “middle-class tags” we can’t let go of, the price of living your girlhood dream, and the funniest pregnant-friend story that includes a man who absolutely did not sign up for this plot twist. There’s also a lot of financial self-drag: hydrafacials, Black Friday sales, black coffee addictions, and beauty treatments we would (or would not) do again. Plus — balding wars, packaging traps, rumours we’re debunking, Mumbai vs Delhi blowdries (!!), and a very wholesome Sindhi appreciation moment. And of course… #AD Moxie’s Anti-Dandruff range to the rescue — clean…

HELLO & WELCOME BACK TO MOMENT OF SILENCE — aka the safest space to complain about family without your chachu finding out. This week we’re diving into embarrassing relatives, jealous cousins, property feuds, toxic aunties, outfit policing, and all the generational drama that makes every Indian family feel like a full-time reality show.

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…

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.
