‘A billion hearts broken’ after India exits the World Cup
A billion hearts breaking into ‘bits and pieces’ after an unexpected win by New Zealand, knocking out the competition favourites out of the World Cup – leaving fans devastated.
Did overconfidence at a rather modest total become India's undoing? Were conditions not assessed to ascertain the challenge ahead? Is the Indian batting rather inept to handle the pressure if the top-order fails?
Find out with Shivani & Ashwin on this week’s special World Cup edition of Saffron Spice with Isha & Shivani.

Veg or Non Veg? Vegetarianism in India.
If you’re from India, it isn’t uncommon to be asked in the West if you’re vegetarian. And there’s a reason for that: India has more vegetarians than the rest of the world combined, and the lowest per capita meat consumption of all nations.

Customer Reviews
Please turn off your TV.
Ladies, I was really hoping for an interesting discourse on Indian politics but if you are unwilling to do research for the podcast and just put out your own limited half baked views. I don’t see the point of this podcast. I’m sure you can have this conversation in the confines of your own home. It’s crazy to hear that you lot don’t know that actual academic research exists in India. You don’t have to base your arguments on journalistic pieces. FYI NSSO is the government agency which does surveys and has data, it was withheld by BJP. Recently released report tells that India’s unemployment is at its highest in last 45 years. Also, it has been contested not only by academics in India but elsewhere as well that Demonetisation was a massive failure - as it hindered GDP growth for a country which needs to grow at the moment. For a country with the Demographic dividend like India unemployment is a huge issue since BJP also started Skill India mission - it’s legit to ask these questions. It’s obvious that you’re partisan but you don’t need to discount the actual issues.
