Hello again Mossies! This week on MOS we finally settled the debate that has been brewing since episode one. Who is the main character of this podcast and who has been the side character all along? Naina and Sakshi sat down, had it out - and as it turns out it’s YOU MOSSIES that are the actual stars of this establishment.

We then had a deep thought-provoking debate on what are the traits that separate a main character from a side character, and most importantly… which one are YOU? We asked the questions that matter: is the five second rule only for NPCs? Is carrying out bodily functions with your camera off okay? If our plane got hijacked at what point can we continue watching our movie? And if we got stranded on a deserted island, who’d be the one to steal everyone’s rations? We have a very strong suspect. Watch the episode to find out.

P.S: The most main character thing you can do right now is like, comment, share, hype, subscribe, and get us to 100k. Only the characters that get killed in horror movies don't subscribe. Stay safe, subscribe now!

ATTENTION people of MOS: our new episode is LIVE and the weekend is officially open.

This week we were feeling nostalgic about that one guy who never gave us closure so we decided to do a deep dive into unsolved mysteries.

Sakshi is officially back from Australia and gave us the full trip update, adding yet another feather to her shaadi-attending hat. From there we dove into the mysteries that may never be solved aka where do lost scrunchies go, how does the salon lady lather a full head with a coin-sized amount, and what do boyfriends do when they're not with you?

We also got into the mystery of Roopkund Lake: skeletons, child-free ancient Indians, and a certain dancing plague (feat. Chunari Chunari). Then we unpacked the lost treasure of the Son Bhandar Caves and debated whether MOS needs to launch an official mission to find Bimbisara's gold.

But honestly, the only mystery that really needs solving is why we haven't hit 100k yet. Go like, comment, share, hype, subscribe… or one of your ears might just fall off. You never know.

Namaste Mossies, it's Friday again and this time it's HOT TAKES SZN 2 - go grab yourself a beverage with extra ice because the takes this time are HOT as they come.

We kicked things off with Naina mounting a quick & passionate defence of her opinion from Hot Takes Pt 1 that drew some flak, with a special shoutout to the OG feminist - father Bhan.From there we got into our unreasonably unpopular opinions about the struggles of being drop dead gorgeous, the terrors of being invoice rich but cash poor, and the gaping wealth inequality between influencers and their internet overlords. The girls also wondered about the choice to be childfree, and debated if pets are better than kids (pets - 1, human child - 0, for now). Our studio audience stepped up with some certifiable controversial opinions - that men are the true masters of spreading gossip, and that apparently pigeons deserve justice.

Meanwhile, our listeners were quite UNHINGED with the takes they sent in (NGL we were concerned). We're talking girl code on snitching about cheating friends, and a take on whether gay incest might be... okay?? Hope there’s a mop nearby because your jaw will be on the floor.

Finally: did you know that every time you like comment share follow hype & most importantly SUBSCRIBE to our channel, the gates of heaven open a lil further for you? Go do it and make the angels happy.

The most gorgeous MISS KAREEMA BARRY has returned to Moment of Silence podcast. This time, we actually gave her a chance to speak, and what's better than getting this trio to speak about female friendship and why it means a lot to them.

Full Episode: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1mBzNNMJAJ79Y2lWRPnPTd?si=e5009729a61c46ff

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode has mentions of self-harm, violence, and assault. Viewer discretion is advised.

-----

Hellloooo MOSSIES, another MOS day has come around and after much coaxing, pleading, and only a little bit of bribing, we have a very special much-requested guest gracing us with her presence in the studio! The most gorgeous MISS KAREEMA BARRY has returned and this time we actually gave her a chance to speak, we promise.

Kareema got us reminiscing about the days of yore (early 20s, college, and singlehood) but the nostalgia soon turned into horror as we heard some of her tales of young online courtship. Our listeners too SHOWED UP when it came to relationship horror stories and we did a deep dive into our audience’s experiences with Italian serial killers, middle-of-the-road abandoners and men that give a whole new meaning to being a cokehead. There was a short review of Netflix’s new “Should I marry a murderer?” (spoiler: don’t) and we then debated some of the most pressing questions of our times like - are the dating prospects better in delhi or mumbai or kolkata or bangalore? Are car fights actually the best kind of fights? Would you call your mom if your hookup tried to kill you? Who let the dogs out? Watch the episode to find out!

PS - There is a mention of a certain ‘silk man’ towards the end of the pod, which was related to a story we had to edit out of the final cut (sorry for the confusion but this is one secret we can never tell).

And finally, we are once again asking you to get us to 100k by liking sharing commenting subscribing hyping.

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.
