Buffalo meets Anurag Minus Verma- peak satirist & amazing podcaster & perhaps the best contemporary cultural commentator of urban absurdities. He talks to us about his relationship with his audiences, his writing aspirations, poetry and stories, shares anecdotes from "Writer's Lab" scams & ofcourse his love for coffee.

Jump to 9.00 min mark for Anurag's interview. There is some housekeeping before that.

Buffalo wants audience engagement. The good people from Instagram sent in lots of questions & topics, so we have a mixed bag of an episode that veers from Bania masculinity to Savarna feminism to academia & development sector caste politics to caste and food.

The Buffalo has a guest this time, failed 'Dance India Dance' contestant & someone who has done nothing of note in life-- Varnika; together the losers reflect upon their true loser icons-- the Social Media Influencers on Instagram

Musings on what constitutes art & for whom in a caste-society where labor is not just segregated, but also invisibilized. The buffalo belches on savarna struggle stories & their artistic journey to mediocrity.

Been a heavy few weeks, tragedy all around. The buffalo goes off on the indifference to casteism in institutions of higher learning, and tries to process what the Hathras verdict could mean for us all.

The Buffalo ruminates about love & dating within a caste society-- but cant help ranting about savarna art & artistic mediocrity first, you know how it goes.

Fascism has been ended by YRF movie & a 4th generation dynast has been goaded by peer pressure into a walkathon - serious scenes from a serious society, no jokes.

Introspection on stages of social media hell & an unrestrained raging rant against MBA/techie dudebros who've doomed us all.

An introduction to the podcast format & my favorite topic- the small social lives of elite savarnas in India
