In the light of recent events that took place in Nepal in favour of monarchy, we wanted to understand and discuss more on this to know if the monarchy is what Nepal needs. We have an exceptional guest for this episode, Mr. Dixit Awasthi, who is a teacher, likes to debate and was briefly involved in student politics during his undergrad. He is keenly interested in socio-political and economic issues. He likes tea and coffee equally, without sugar.

Listen to this episode to understand the relationship of Nepal with the monarchy in depth. We hope you enjoy this episode!

Beauty Standards is something that we have heard of and experienced in every day of our lives. While the idea of beauty is subjective, there are certain attributes of a human that are considered "beautiful" by society. In this episode, we talk about the effects of the existing standards of beauty in society. We explore the gendered, psychological, social and economic aspect of such standards. We hope you enjoy this episode.   

This is Part 2 of Beauty Standards episode. Since the content was more, and the recording was long, we decided to divide the single recording into two episodes.
