Next, they lament the plight of Air India passengers who were delayed because a cabin crew member refused to clean the Captain’s dirty lunch box.

  • 48: Minisode + Special Announcement
    The lads gear up for their big Five-O in this episode which is of a 'mini' nature, and hence the portmanteau - Minisode. They wanted us to let you know. Much excitement about the upcoming AMA precedes their solitary piece on the black-sheep IIT-ian who tried to dupe millions of hopefuls with the promise of a laptop under the fake Pradhan Mantri Laptop Yojana. + Music credit - Simon D’Souza+ Write to us - [email protected]
