    Who’s Most Likely to Survive: Naina vs Sakshi

    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 don't subscribe. Stay safe, subscribe now!

    Unsolved Mysteries, Lost Treasures, Hidden Caves

    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 fall off. You never know. Chaptering: 00:00 – Cops aren't ready for this 01:33 – India's unsolved mysteries 01:47 – Cousin's wedding and sim card blocked chaos 05:54 – Past life memories 07:36 – Dreams pitch IG ideas 08:59 – Delhi's Monkey Man 12:13 – Ancient Indian History exam, just got me 14:00 – India's Skeleton Lake 15:38 – Dancing plague, but add Chunari Chunari to it 17:29 – Aliens, cult leaders & conspiracy 19:28 – Shame vs fear 22:51 – Why we pierce ears 25:17 – Son Bhandar treasure mystery 28:08 – Swimming into a stranger’s villa 30:13 – Movie recommendation 31:20 – Cursed sarees  34:18 – Are movies soft-launching aliens?  37:28 – Girl-coded mysteries 38:35 – Older people and AI 41:05 – Body hair  42:55 – Adaptive resilience 47:27 – ZNMD is not a mystery, but the last frame 48:21 – Movie & show recs 49:52– How to report someone missing 52:23 – We are really close to 100K subs, so subscribe 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...

    Hot Takes - Part 2

    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 snitching about cheating friends, and a take on whether gay incest might be... okay?? Hope there’s a mop nearby because your jaw will be on the floor. Finally: did you know that every time you like comment share follow hype & most importantly SUBSCRIBE to our channel, the gates of heaven open a lil further for you? Go do it and make the angels happy. Chaptering: 00:00 - Hot Takes are back, and got hotter 04:48 - Cyberbullying is actually wild 07:32 - The movie recco 12:44 - Mentally rich, financially... still loading 13:41 - Are influencers underpaid? 17:52 - Women in leadership: why is it still a debate? 18:47 - Gold digger 19:14 - Are hot people facing unique struggles? 27:10 - Splitsvilla proves men gossip too 29:30 - Straight men and marriage: a complicated relationship 31:03 - A take that had everyone pausing for a second 34:02 - Should women always tell the truth? 35:10 - Cheaters have secrets too... 37:06 - Pregnancy scares, Botox, tattoos 41:35 - Pets over kids? 43:02 - Should you only date within your income bracket? 45:50 - Who's picking up the bill? 49:23 - Would you text a stranger? 50:27 - Holding hands, but make it controversial 52:49 - The age-gap relationship 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...

    The Three Types of Indian Boyfriends Ft. Kareema Barry

    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. Chaptering: 00:00 – Did you just agree to that? 00:44 – Meet Kareema Barry 02:01 – Life plans, but make it a jigsaw puzzle 06:38 – surviving during war 07:52 – Tag that bestie who wants to be a masi 08:55 – Horror dating story: BF keeps her hostage 12:29 – Kolkata vs Mumbai: the lifestyle debate 14:35 – Delhi University protests, but niche 16:39 – Mumbai locals 17:40 – The Italian serial killer 19:40 – Do you tell your parents you're dating? 22:28 – Movie recommendation 25:38 – Negotiating with your murderer 28:12 – sensitive topic 31:12 – Fighting with your BF in the car 34:23 – A catcall leads to a breakup 39:42 – The most common mistakes in love 43:30 – Female friendship appreciation post 49:01 – baby conversation 52:54 – What is your purpose in life? 56:58 – You know what to do… road to 100K subscribers Kareema Barry: https://www.instagram.com/kareemabarry/?hl=en https://www.youtube.com/@KareemaBarry27 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...
