Hiii mossies - Friday has returned and so have we!This week’s episode opens with Naina seriously contemplating hypnotherapy to reclaim her lost memories - which Sakshi counters with some scientifically proven advice from an Instagram statics.

We then got into a conversation about how the suits have been drooling over our beloved audience (yes, YOU!!) which then got us to the topic of the week - propaganda we all fell for. The lies we were sold. The lies we were told. The lies we rolled with even when it was written in comic sans bold. From the great Kurkure conspiracy of our childhoods to carrots concealing spy tech, to the unhinged propaganda new mothers have to navigate on a daily basis - this week had us questioning everything. Is the whole world a lie? Was Naina almost the Rasna girl? Will people finally stop littering outside Sakshi's house?

All this and more in this week's episode of Moment of Silence!Go watch like, share, comment, hype, and spread the propaganda that anyone who doesn't help us hit 100k will have their nose hair grow five feet long.

Hellooo Mossies - we now pronounce you Friday & weekend because another Moment of Silence is officially LIVE.

As if this BOILING HOT WEATHER straight from the pits of hell wasn’t enough, we’re here to scald you with some BURNING HOT TAKES straight from the minds and mouths of Sakshi & Naina. That’s right, this week we’re diving deep into some good-ol’-hopefully-won’t-set-an-internet-mob-after-us-but-probably-will above average temperature hot takes!

We begin with a debate on what makes a take HOT? Is it the waistline or style of delivery? A short discussion on the ultra lameness of lame instagram takes, and then - are wedding videos actually war crimes on wedding guests? Is politeness the ultimate get-out-of-jail-free card? Do voice notes deserve a lifetime ban? Is Arjun Kapoor a good actor actually? All this plus a few specially hot takes from our MOS live studio audience (our lovely but insane crew) and one very hot take from a MOS listener who had a take that truly called for a moment of reflection & silence.

P.S: Our hot take to end all hot takes is that anyone who doesn't subscribe to MOS is going to face some very bad luck this month. Subscribe now and send this to 10 people to avoid an attack of buri nazar.

Hi Mossies, if your gut is telling you it’s Friday, YOU’RE CORRECT. We’re back with a brand new episode on gut feelings & the power of your instinct.

This week Naina and Sakshi talk about battling the trenches of Bandra to get to their favourite cafes, the horrors of being abandoned by your gym trainer, and the beautiful joys of getting a second Longchamp. We then asked - how do you differentiate between a gut feeling and plain old anxiety? Should you listen to your gut EVERY SINGLE TIME? Or are there times when your gut is being a loser and just playing games to mess with you? Watch the episode to find out.(Somewhere along the way, we also arrived at the unnecessary hate against the word ‘aunty’ and sought justice for kitty parties. Plus, Sakshi gave tips on how to sus out a kidnapper on a first date and the girls reflected on their gut feelings about starting MOS.)

Finally we have a gut feeling that we’re sooooo close to 100k subs but you gotta help us get there by going and hitting like, share, comment, hype, subscribe, follow, and casually dropping MOS into every single conversation you have this week.

Helloooo Mossies & Mosquitoes! Welcome to another episode of Moment of Silence where we sat down with the one, the only, the absolutely wonderful Ella D'Verma.

We started with having to pick up our jaws from the floor as we took in an ungodly level of beauty and intelligence - Ella walked us through the chaos of living her entire life on the internet, transitioning during the lockdown, and - most importantly - how to absolutely rake in that sweet Valentine's Day brand deal money.

She got real about the psychological warfare of accepting a good guy after a string of failed situationships (since her boyfriend is apparently single-handedly increasing the green cover in the dating world) and alllllmost made us accept that maaaaaybe it’s not all men. We can only pray the boys are taking notes.

We also spoke of supportive families, mothers giving much-needed reality checks, and losing friends when life takes you places you didn’t know you could go. Ella pulled back the curtain on the pageant world, and Sakshi & Naina became students as she delivered a masterclass in giving those pitch perfect Miss World answers.

Hi Mossies & Mosquitoes, we're BACK and better than ever - it's been a while, hasn't it? Welcome to another episode of Moment of Silence.

Sorry for the short interruption in services, we missed you! But but Fridays have meaning again because we've officially said bye to our burnouts and have humbly returned to bringing you episodes every week.

This week begins with Sakshi and Naina catching you up on all that went down during their very short sabbatical. From watching trash float up the coastline off Carter Road to praying for the light to return to our eyes, the girls had quite the month. Our resident professional shaadi attender Sakshi has beef with destination weddings, while Naina's therapy acquired nazar and her therapist may have left her. We talked about stress and the state of the world and made bunker plans for if/when the next catastrophe hits. Finally, we tried to come up with a name for MOS nation's IPL team. Comment what you think it should be.

Safe to say - the gang’s back at it! If you still haven't subscribed, really, come on, have some shame. Please go like, share, comment, hype, subscribe, and don't forget to drop your mother's maiden name in the comments if you read this.

This week’s episode is a tiny bit of a financial intervention… because for many of us, money talk is deeply uncomfortable. As your Internet besties, sometimes we have to hold you accountable and push you to make decisions that honour that best version of you.

But instead of letting your dad, brother or boyfriend handle your finances or WORSE not deal with your money at all— 2026 the mossies get financially literate.

Join us as we ask the dumbest finance questions so you don’t have to. And welcome finance girlie and fairy god sister Sonia Shenoy to guide us along this journey. Sonia started her career as a TV presenter but somehow took a very unplanned detour into the world of content and turned out pretty successful. Safe to say you’re in good hands!

This week’s episode begins with a moment of celebration because Sakshi had a birthday! Wooo! The girls went to a cricket match with the noble intention of rage-baiting men but things took an unexpected turn and Naina ended up becoming the national crush (which to be fair enraged a lot of men, so mission accomplished).

From there we spiralled into a very real conversation about men stealing women’s work, taking credit for their ideas, and the mysterious ability some guys have to dim a girl’s shine the moment she starts doing a little toooo well for their liking.

We asked the important question: how do you go to bed at night after stealing someone else’s work?? Our heartfelt condolences to the girl who had her cancer research stolen and an even bigger sorry to the girl who had her instagram bio stolen.

This led us to the ultimate dilemma: your man vs your career. We debated ambition, insecurity, supportive partners, unsupportive partners, and why women are so often expected to shrink themselves to make other people comfortable.

Somewhere in the middle of all this, we reminded you (and us) that you just gotta do what you want, no matter what people say - because once you make it, they WILL come around.

P.S: Sakshi has a new iPad but we still don’t have 100k subscribers. It’s very un-feminist of you to not hit subscribe so go do it now, along with liking commenting hyping following and adding our names to your final will and testament.

Happy Friday Mosquitoes & Mossies!

In honour of our real life besties NEVER listening to our advice, we started this ep off with a lil bit of healing by way of giving advice to our bollywood besties who we believe had gone down the wrong path. Criminal guys and gals seem to be the flavour of the season when it comes to falling in love, and MOS does not approve.

By popular demand we are back with an episode on the futility of advising your girl besties, broken female friendships, bury-the-body friends, and the myth that is a mature friendship breakup.

Naina and Sakshi debate the difference between supporting your friends and enabling them, with a humble request from Sakshi to do some enabling when it comes to Meerut pronunciations. We also discussed whether our parent's generation did friendship better, Naina tried to start a pen pal community, and Sakshi requested that you remember that this is a comedy podcast - so have some pity on a bin-byaahi beti.

Finally, we unpacked a few stories from MOS listeners who experienced some insane girl besties, and took a moment of silence for the mom friend of the group (hug your nearest mom friend, give them a day off, pls).

Bonus: Exam szn got Sakshi feeling nostalgic and she gave us a mini-recap of a gadhyasankalan short story that has traumatized many an ICSE student.

If you are a tru MOS bestie, go enable us by hitting like, share, hype, subscribe, follow, and scream it from the rooftops so that we can hit 100k.
