Unknown Unknowns Ashwini and Nithya Johnson

In this episode, we take a tour of a very familiar haunted house - the very house we live in. We explore how complex relationships between members of the family can often leave the house haunted. Sometimes we talk with no bounds and sometimes we choke - such is the nature of the topic of family and of conversions in families. We emphasise the importance of questioning within families and question ourselves of the ideals we hold.

A young person in today’s world grapples with the tough balancing act between idealism and cynicism towards life and future. There is seemingly an apocalypse just round every corner. In this episode, we tackle what it means to grow up in this uncertain world. We also concur with Spiderman in his belief that we can embrace our self amidst the order and chaos through a leap of faith.

We have all heard that the journey is more important than the end but in this episode, we flip the script to see how the end is what gives meaning to the journey. We look at what the world could be in the year 17776 and the challenges of a game that never ends. Ashwini explores what zombies can teach you about our fractured empathy while Nithya contemplates her decision to champion immortality.

In this episode, we attempt to traverse the labyrinth within as a parallel to navigating the maze of life outside. Hosts Ashwini and Nithya recount their stumbles along the path of self-acceptance and dissect the role that ideals and its creators play in the perception of our self. Identity is no longer a puzzle to ponder alone. The influence of labels given and perceived. The intricacies of image management in the digital era. All this and more in this seventh instalment of Unknown Unknowns.

Gather around folks. It’s time to spill the tea on what gossip is and what it means in the context of countless conversations. We are joined by our friend Rithika, who with her quick quips gives us a look into why gossip has a bad rap. We explore how gossip can strengthen friendships and can test them. Ashwini deconstructs the relationship between gender and gossip, while Nithya cooks up a metaphor of a meal regarding the exaggeration that underlies gossip.

In this episode, we are joined by our chirpy friend Divya. Together we explore, what it means to find love and where marriage fits into that equation. Ashwini goes on a tangent about how the characters in the show are many layers removed from reality. Nithya initiates a collective existential crisis on whether we will find love. We explore the aftermath of Indian Matchmaking and also ponder about why Indian matchmaking relies on face readers and astrologers (sorry, we mean aerospace engineers).
