    A Moment of Silence for Choosing Him Over Career

    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 people comfortable. Somewhere in the middle of all this, we reminded you (and us) that you just gotta do what you want, no matter what people say - because once you make it, they WILL come around. P.S: Sakshi has a new iPad but we still don’t have 100k subscribers. It’s very un-feminist of you to not hit subscribe so go do it now, along with liking commenting hyping following and adding our names to your final will and testament.

    A Moment of Silence for Ending Female Friendships

    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 who experienced some insane girl besties, and took a moment of silence for the mom friend of the group (hug your nearest mom friend, give them a day off, pls). Bonus: Exam szn got Sakshi feeling nostalgic and she gave us a mini-recap of a gadhyasankalan short story that has traumatized many an ICSE student. If you are a tru MOS bestie, go enable us by hitting like, share, hype, subscribe, follow, and scream it from the rooftops so that we can hit 100k. Chaptering: 00:00 – Introduction: Should men start in jail? 00:51 – Female friendships, because you asked for it 02:33 – What advice do you give Bollywood characters as their BFF? 04:28 – A friendly shoutout to Snooze Club 06:00 – Onscreen kissing scenes & accidentally witnessing a friend’s PDA 08:41 – Dating your therapist? Let’s discuss 10:30 – Why women should have male friends (in moderation) 13:29 – Asking your male BFF for help… oh no, not again 16:47 – Phrase of the week 17:27 – Comment the name of your BFF who can do anything for you 20:37 – Friendship breakups that hurt more than divorce 22:10 – Workplace & school friendships 26:58 – Does friendship end with a breakup or just fizzles out? 33:12 – Reviewing O Romeo 37:23 – Digital detox for an influencer?

    Civic Sense, Infrastructure and Tu Yaa Main Review

    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 stand under any bridges. Hit subscribe if you haven’t already. Help us reach 100k before the Metro reaches completion, come on. 00:00 – Introduction 00:46 – You know the topic 01:43 – Signs you are breaking civic sense 04:12 – Ouch!

    A Moment of Silence for Cliché Valentine’s Day Celebrations

    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, ego, delusion, and feminism. If you’re still reading this… you’re already involved. Like. Share. Comment. Help us hit 100K. Chaptering: 00:00 – Introduction 01:06 – Happy Valentine’s Day… but do you even believe in love or just situationships? 02:45 – Married people vs Singles 08:08 – How to look unmarried 10:13 – Couple influencers & the Jacqueline Fernandez – Sukesh Chandrasekhar alleged affair 12:18 – Veer Pahariya – Tara Sutaria – AP Dhillon: What actually went wrong? 14:41 – Couple influencers washing dirty linen… in 4K 17:48 – Money baited on power couples 21:53 – Why was Aishwarya Mohanraj getting targeted? 24:41 – Power couples are minting money & we are minting opinions 25:32 – Why date an athlete?

    A Moment of Silence for Secret Relationships

    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 the last option on Earth. Not done yet. We also talked about Budget 2026 (yes, against our will), gave a round of applause to the smartest women in Meerut & more. If you’re still here, help us hit 100k and become part of the chaos. Chaptering- 00:00 – We’re back 00:44 – You clicked because you’re nosy.

    A Moment of Silence for Pregnancy Scares, Rom-Coms and Relatable Celebrities

    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 at first sight, beards as different phases of a man’s life, and so much more. Also, Sima Taparia has written a book — thoughts? And we get real about sharing space with men, whether it’s cuddling, spooning, or a hotel bathroom situation. Of course, we don’t stop there — we also spill some teeny weeny (but very real) details about our own relationships. We have the winners for the Weirdest Hair Stories in association with Moxie!

    Are Cheaters Scarier Or Ghosts? | The Last Sleepover Ep. 01

    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? Does a bad date count as a paranormal experience? Is real life scarier or the afterlife? And who exactly is haunting the MOS studio? 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.

    We tried Predicting The Future

    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 predictions for people close to us, and an EPIC story where Naina is the main character.Stick around till the end — share your weirdest hair story and win a Moxie hamper.
