    A Moment Of Silence For Our Hottest Takes

    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. Subscribe now and send this to 10 people to avoid an attack of buri nazar. Go watch like comment share subscribe and tell your nearest human about this podcast! Chaptering: 00:05 – Replying to every WhatsApp message 01:19 – Sharing our hot takes (don’t get offended) 04:26 – Body positivity… until someone gets abs 06:31 – Is travelling really a hobby? 08:18 – The evolution of a hot take 11:25 – Sakshi’s MMA coach story (in shudh Hindi) 12:36 – Delhi vs Mumbai food: the endless war 19:55 – Borrowing money from friends 23:44 – Wedding films: cringe or cute? 26:20 – When your bestie becomes your therapist 30:23 – The pressure to reply to every WhatsApp message 35:43 – Is world peace actually attainable? 36:33 – Are expiry dates just consumerism? 39:22 – What does being in love even mean? 43:12 – Talking about men (sensitive territory)55:50 – Pursuing your dreams vs playing safe 01:00:04- subscribe, let’s make it 100k Follow MoS on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/momentofsilencepod/reels/?hl=enCredits:Naina Bhan - Co-host and certified overthinkerhttps://www.instagram.com/nainabee?ig...Sakshi Shivdasani - Co-host, balancing out Naina’s overthinking with a healthy dose of not thinkinghttps://www.instagram.com/sakshishivdasani/?hl=enSenior Producer- Amruta P. https://www.linkedin.com/in/amruta-bandivdekar-01879925Produced by "Vertical by Handmade" - Our personal cheering squad https://www.instagram.com/verticalbyhandmade?igsh=NG1vdXd5bWdsdWI3Creative direction by Tinkre, Keeper of MoS' signature “Pookie” energy Natascha Mehrahttps://www.instagram.com/tinkre.in/?hl=enhttps://www.instagram.com/natascha.zip/?hl=en Researched by our very own curiosity engineer - Aashna Sharma https://www.linkedin.com/in/aashna-sharma-913146179Reel Editor - Yug Vermahttps://www.instagram.com/bass_abhiyug?igsh=MnlibHdsbG56MjNl&utm_source=qrDisclaimer: This is a comedy podcast made in good humor.

    Is My Gut Instinct Wrong?

    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.

    A Moment Of Silence For Ella Getting Real

    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 & Naina became students as she delivered a masterclass in giving those pitch perfect Miss World answers. If you haven't subscribed yet, what are you doing with your life? Go like, share, comment, hype, subscribe and spread the word of MOS far and wide. 00:00 – Introduction 00:47 – Meet Ella D’Verma 03:15 – Reel vs real life of Ella 05:09 – Ella talks about the early days with Vansh (and revamping his wardrobe) 08:54 – Living with the fear of being caught 10:12 – The signs that show he’s a green flag 16:25 – Ella on womanhood 19:05 – Dealing with trolls & choosing quality friendships 26:45 – Making friends in the industry 33:25 – Navigating female friendships 34:10 – Choosing the name Ella & life after transition 39:00 – Ella talks about pageants 44:59 – Boomers vs Millennials vs Gen Z 46:55 – The worst ways people earn money 50:22 – A peek into a manager’s life 55:20 – Male privilege 57:34 – The Big Fat Indian Wedding conversation 59:42 – Wrong answers only Ella D' Verma - https://www.instagram.com/elladverma/ Brutally Honest Creators - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHkcqImp8gcbZHzn1secwSYYKG8dds437&si=wYCafRcBIKDy0BDC Comedians Unfiltered- https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHkcqImp8gcabWOmtiYQUUXGU4ptrq9HB&si=sWm2ep8LZr8GU_7c Follow MoS on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/momentofsilencepod/reels/?hl=en Credits: Naina Bhan - Co-host and certified overthinker https://www.instagram.com/nainabee?ig...

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.

    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. Chaptering: 00:00 – Intro, do you really need this 01:33 – Naina went viral on X, became the national crush, and announced her pregnancy 02:29 – What really went down in Chennai 05:25 – All the planning & plotting behind Sakshi’s birthday 12:00 – The many times we overextended ourselves 12:34 – Women’s careers and men… with credit-stealing stories 15:37 – The essay that had Sakshi fuming 21:22 – Cancelling a meeting for a partner 26:00 – Men vs women’s résumés 31:36 – A hack for all the men 33:12 – Why we said we still needed a man in our life 37:00 – OTPs becoming the next power play 49:40 – Sharing the household load 53:00 – The letters wrote in teens 01:02:44 – Supportive parents 01:04:29 – Therapy sessions, but the results 01:06:09 – Sakshi's jokes and her BF 01:08:37 – Defining what “normal” meant 01:09:43 – Like, Share, Comment & Subscribe Brutally Honest Creators - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHkcqImp8gcbZHzn1secwSYYKG8dds437&si=wYCafRcBIKDy0BDC Comedians Unfiltered- https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHkcqImp8gcabWOmtiYQUUXGU4ptrq9HB&si=sWm2ep8LZr8GU_7c Follow MoS on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/momentofsilencepod/reels/?hl=en Credits:Naina Bhan - Co-host and certified overthinker https://www.instagram.com/nainabee?ig...

    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.
