A show touching on the Desi experience outside of South Asia. Hiatus

    Chai Noon Episode 45- A Suitable Boy

    Chai Noon Episode 45- A Suitable Boy

    In the first time of Chai Noon history I’m (Hanik) will be trying to make the podcast be relevant.

    This is a more unusual episode and should return to normal service next week.

    With the first adaptation of the book to screen is coming to the screen this weekend on the BBC, I thought I should share with you my thoughts on the book. What the story is about (without giving away any spoilers to a twenty year old book), my thoughts on the book (a mini review of sorts) and then leave you wanting more by reading out the first three parts of the book.

    Chai Noon Episode 44- Proudly South African

    Chai Noon Episode 44- Proudly South African

    On this week's #episode, Hanik welcomes long time friend Rahul (@rahuldowlath) onto the podcast.

    After a brief conversation about #covid situation in #SouthAfrica and how Rahul is doing in #lockdown, you get to hear about how #indian #durban is from someone else. From the iconic #chatsworth gold tooth, to #bunnychow by the beach.

    Rahul shares stories of travelling in #India and how coming from South Africa gives an unique perspective of #travelling back to the "motherland". Rahul goes on to tell us about his slightly unusual #career (for a #desi) as an #architect and how his family supported him in his endeavours.

    Interspersed with all of this is Hanik and Rahul trading old stories about their childhood, with a shout out to the Mission to Mars animated film they wanted to create.

    If you want to get in touch with Rahul, then message him on Instagram or send him a message via his blog: https://rahuldowlath.net/

Vinamrata ,

Original take on the desi experience!

Chai noon is great! As a fellow desi, it’s really awesome to hear Kiran and Hanik discuss topics that impact the desi American community, like identity confusion, navigating dating, and religion. Keep it up!

BalkiBee ,

A nice, light podcast

I enjoy how relatable this podcast is to Desis born/raised in the diaspora. The co-hosts also complement each other very well! It’s unique that one is in the US and the other is in the UK.
