April 22, 2021 S02 E20: Juggling 'Work' & 'Life'
Work and Life locked in the houseTo stay safe and operate remotelyLife fell down, losing its balanceAnd work went tumbling shortly. Major relate? Us too!

Terms like Work-Life Balance are casually thrown around in the present times and yes, there are multiple studies that show how it has gone for a toss but is it so? In a time when work can be office work, household work, or pursuing a hobby while Life could mean sleeping, browsing, surfing, socialising, relationships, and what not- do these studies take the non-ideal millennial life into account or are still stuck in the 9-5 era? If it is the latter, isn't it a fallacy on our part to stress ourselves out with the thought of a sense of imbalance?

If you thought this episode was about two young women complaining about how work is too much, zoom fatigue, additional chores, bad internet, etc. then yes! you are right but only partially. Rytasha & Ayushi also discuss how work-life balance is a very undefined term for what constitutes the present-day meaning of these terms and help us deconstruct the same idea that has been rammed into our heads for quite some time now. So whether you are working with excel sheets/ flour and baking powder/ wax and moulds/ case files and journals/ Stethoscopes and pills/ mics and guitars/ lights and cameras/ or even IMPORTED SNEAKERS; You do You and define what your work and life mean to you and live both to the fullest and as much in equilibrium as possible in Your capacity. Cheers!

April 15, 2021 S02 E19: Sexual Wellness Ft. Anushka & Sahil Gupta
This episode, we address a very important aspect which is Sexual Wellness. Everyone talks about sex but what about pleasure, comfort, foreplay, creating an ambience, and hygiene? India saw a huge rise in the sale of sex toys and intimate products like lubes and oils, in the lockdown. Clearly, people are exploring this side as well. And as a country of 1.2 Billion people, we should not shy away from talking about it!To add more to this conversation, We had Anushka & Sahil Gupta- couple and founders of a bedroom essentials brand called MyMuse. They shared highlights from the research done for the company, the products they have curated, the importance of sexual wellness, how and why it can be a healing and good experience and doesn't deserve to be taboo, and some fun young chatter overall! So singles and couples, do tune in for some positivity :)You can check out MyMuse at https://mymuse.in/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mymuse.in/We promise to incorporate your thoughts & queries.

April 08, 2021 S02 E18: Fantasizing about life post Covid
The last year felt like those few minutes after a nap that was aimed to be quick but lasted fashionably longer than we thought- unproductive and clueless and panicky. And this year feels like we badly need a nap but are avoiding it, dreading those post-nap feelings. In both cases, we are miserable and helpless. Take a break from all of this, close your eyes and just imagine- life. post. Covid. Not like the second half of 2020 with half-assed freedom, but like, maybe 2019, but better.
You have finally activated that travel Whatsapp group and are packing to go on a trip, your pretty dresses can finally see the light of the day when you wear them for that date you've been planning with the cute guy you met online or when it's a Friday night out with friends at a cool resto-bar and you can't wait for the DJ to play Bollywood, you can take the fast train to town and stand by the window letting the breeze serenade you, you can move on from the elbow touching and just go and embrace a loved one, you go to office and for so many, see your colleagues outside of the rectangular screen for the first time (awkwarrrrd, but nice)- feels good? We have more on this episode.
Sit back, relax, tune in with some Wine (we know it's been a rough week and weekends are usually a blurrr in the lockdown), and listen up! (But Don't nap, okay?)

April 01, 2021 S02 E17: Stuck in Second Gear
Last year, life gave us a lockdown and we made memes, music, art, cakes and Dalgona coffee out of it. And now that another lockdown is staring at us, we'd rather make ourselves the regular chai/coffee and sit back and relax because no, we have no energy or creativity left. Relate to it? Then this episode is for you.
And there comes a time in life, lockdown or no lockdown, when you feel this way. When everything is blase, uncertain and you are directionless. It could be your job, a relationship, or a series of bad days that have become life. What do you do? Cry, yes. Take a break, absolutely! Talk to a friend? Best. And sometimes just give up, leave it to the universe and get on with life? Maybe, yes.
In this episode, Ayushi & Rytasha are in the same boat as us. And the boat has lost way and is on the route to Suez Canal. And guess what?! Ever Given is stranded there and so are we. Hopefully, the ship has refloated. And the boats stuck in traffic have started moving. And the news cycle has also refreshed for other stuff. Moral of the story? You get stuck, things get solved, and life goes on. Hopeful, right? We hope so.

March 25, 2021 S02 E16: Life in Rhyming Scheme Ft. Rabia Kapoor
Gone are the days of heavy words and melancholy filled Shakespeare poetry. It's the time of relatability and rebellion. Poetry in the present day and age, for us millennials, is a way of expression. A lot of us are independent, often lonely, facing an identity crisis, and are still getting used to life as an adult. Many times, the emotions faced are inexpressible in regular conversation but when weaved into poetry, it is our version of putting things out in the world in a way that our heart is on our sleeve and poured out, we are relatable and at the same time, it is not too much personal information going out.
It was World Poetry Day on 21st March and to mark that, we invited fellow millennial and 'baby adult' Rabia Kapoor- she is a spoken word poet, a writer, an editor of a magazine named 'Spacebar' and freshly back in the city from London where she was studying.
Ayushi, Rytasha & Rabia chat about life in general, life in poetry, how does it feel to be back in the city and home after having stayed alone for a long time, and in this pandemic situation; about social media, the general attitude of the people towards youngsters and much more.
Tune in for some sisterhood and solidarity :)

Her spoken word poetry is available on the Kommune India Youtube Channel.

March 18, 2021 S02 E15: Pehla Nasha Pehla Khumaar
It takes just that one person to make or break the day, their sight like a beautiful sunset, bringing so much joy in the heart and a swarm of butterflies in the gut. Every romantic song is strongly felt and emotions overflow like never before. The day is consumed in their thoughts and often we find ourselves looking somewhere faraway grinning like an idiot. All of these are symptoms of having a crush in life and we can't deny that it is the best feeling ever! Sometimes a crush might like us back and that can lead to a road less travelled but mostly that never happens, often the heart is left crushed but still, that phase becomes positively etched in memory.
Rytasha & Ayushi become teenagers for a while as they get nostalgic about their time in school and college, and the times someone made their hearts flutter and eventually crush it (or not, that's something we find out in the episode). Tune in for a trip down the old lanes and times insane.

March 11, 2021 S02 E14: Ladies' Special ft. the Joshi Sisters
If we're done celebrating women's day via the multiple trends and campaigns that told us exactly what Bruno Mars has been trying to say since the last decade- that we are amazing, just the way we are!', let's do a little real talk about what it means to be a 'woman' in the apparently progressive 2020 and beyond.
We've invited the most real/reel and relevant women on the internet and irl- the amazing Joshi Sisters! The entire hour felt like one of those "pajama nights, talking about life while eating Maggi" where we spoke our hearts out about everything ranging from cancel culture on the internet and trolls, to honest confessions about expressing emotions, sisterhood and even babies.
So ladies! (and everybody else) get into those comfortable pyjamas, put on that sheet mask you got as a treat for the special day, and tune in!
You can find the Joshi sisters on Social Media:

In today's episode, Rytasha & Ayushi are joined by their friend Salomi Desai who is a type & graphic designer.

Tune into this episode, as we discuss how fonts & accents play a huge role in language.

A dedicated day to celebrate the worthiest of all human emotions? Don't mind if we do!

Tune in for some love-ly chit chat, a little stop at heartbreak hotel and as always our everyday reminder about consent (also covered: contraceptives and cuddling).
