Hiii Mossies & Mosquitoes, welcome back to another episode of Moment of Silence. This week we took a moment to marvel at how lucky we are to be living in a place that is the very epitome of urban planning with smooth roads, bountiful parks, perfect air and the MOST comfortable public transport system. Is there even a place that could compete? We think not. That’s right, this is an episode on all that Mumbai offers us. We talk about Indians and our civic sense, the ever-concerning AQI, construction noise, and Naina’s determined quest to see a butterfly in the city.

We also dive into Tu Ya Main’s crocodile-infested scuba pool and discuss Shanaya Kapoor’s flawed understanding of the influencer life. Sakshi takes us on a detour with a breakdown of her trip to Sri Lanka and then we make a small game of choosing between bad public facilities and particularly bad boyfriends. There’s also a bit about plurals, or as Sakshi would like me to say plurii - in there, that you should not miss. Anyway, like, comment & don’t stand under any bridges. Hit subscribe if you haven’t already.

Help us reach 100k before the Metro reaches completion, come on.
