    Season 2 Begins with One Word, Listen Now!

    We’re back after almost a month, and this episode helped set us the tone for a new season, in life, in perspective, and in the way we want to show up for ourselves and for you.

    What Diwali used to Be vs What It’s Now

    This Diwali feels a little different, doesn’t it? The excitement is still there, the lights, the sweets, the chaos, but somewhere along the way, festivals started to feel different. In this episode, Simran and Isha dive into October Theory, sharing nostalgic memories of old Diwalis, the way celebrations have evolved, and what the festival means when you’re navigating your 20s. It’s honest, emotional, and full of laughter, like a late-night chat with friends who just get it. So, whether you’re lighting diyas or just reflecting on how much life has changed, tune in for warmth, nostalgia, and a reminder that growing up doesn’t mean growing apart from the joy of the season.
