In this trailer, I explain what to expect in this podcast -aayanisms!

Its the 100th episode on AMX podcast and I dedicate it to Indian Cinema.

A movie industry about 100 years old, producing 2000 fils per year in at least 10 languages regularly, reaching out to about 1.4 billion people in one country and probably around another billion around the world and yet, its most prestigious cinema awards is a down to a song and dance caricature instead of being the leading protagonist in global cinema. Why is that?

Tune in to this slow - burn long podcast (by those who have low attention spans) where I walk you through the evolution of Filmfare awards and other trivia about Indian cinema with a reference to Hollywood and Oscars in contrast.

So what happens when a cold relationship gets a high voltage microwave treatment?

It burns ego's and chars sentiments , and maybe permanently damage the contents.

Pakistan FM walked on this path at the UNSC forum, jeopardising his country's future prospects, without half of the country knowing it or understanding the ramifications of his commentary. Clearly, this is not a lone-wolf act, not is it a slip of tongue in a heated debate, this is by design.

On the other hand, when a premier of a country is insulted, no matter what the internal diversity of opinions suggest, the entire nation unites as one, casting all their differences aside.Such is the nature of Indo-Pak geopolitical relations, or tensions, that it now seems, is firmly beyond repair.

So what happens next?

We live in strange times. On one hand we speak about freedom of expression, on the other get offended by it.

Right to protest is a sign of a healthy democracy, but threatening violence or vandalism is a sign of a broken system.

Should creative expressions be censored? Should there be a uniform civil code?

Tune into a slow burn non rhetorical simple talk on the impact of a socio-cultural and moral policing in a progressive society.

Question : How do you review a movie like Qala in a jiffy?

Answer : you can't.

Just like a Michelin star restaurant - which needs time to savour each item, Qala needs time to be experienced in detail. If you'd rather prefer a quick McDonalds, then this review might not be for you.

In this episode - I share the following topics :

1. Resetting the expectations
2. What's worked well
3. What could be better.

I do a detailed deep dive on each of these aspects and share my views. And if by any chance the Qala cast or crew finds this podcast - please tune into to hear a proper, detailed analysis on all aspects of your creation.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on my suggested areas of improvement.

On that note, dim the lights, sit back relax and dive in to the deep with AMX.

A few lines of poetry for our home and the dichotomy we face every day.

Many people build beautiful houses, but very few build beautiful homes.

Join me in this walkthrough of our lives in our beautiful homes.

A country with 1.4 billion people, 60% of which are below the age of 30, fails to produce 11 players who qualify for a World Cup play offs, for the last 50 years or more. Sadly, it is the "football"reality of our country. Yet when you step out, there are flags of Germany, Argentina, Brazil fluttering across popular malls and shopping outlets. There is world cup fever all around. So you wonder, with so much fan following why is the country unable to produce top quality football?

In this episode, we dive in to find out what is the root cause and potential solutions to uplift the Football standards to compete with global standards.

Tune in.

Live in- love out?

The stereotypical definition of the boy next door has a very different connotation in the year 2022. He could just be a sociopath.

So you decided to move in with your partner, but somewhere some inner voice is reasoning against it. Yet you rationalise and out logic your gut feeling. Convincing yourself that everything is ok. Until one day, the partner crosses the line. More than being hurt, it shocks you. You are in disbelief and the partner apologises. You forgive. And it repeats soon.

If you find this familiar, tune into this episode of AMX where I share four things to wake yourself up before it's too late. Or if you know someone in a denial mindset, please share this episode with them. You never know, we may help someone wake up and smell the cappuccino, if nothing else, the goal is to make the person sit up and think before it's too late.

The post match press conference you never heard!

Tune into this mock-interview with SkipRo - where all tough questions are asked. No scope of chance to give mundane, clinical answers. Real questions, need real answers.

If this floats your boat, then tune in to this slow-burn podcast, where I ask tough questions .gently.
