Gehraiyaan is perhaps the most polarising Hindi film in recent memory. While I didn't necessarily love the film, it definitely evoked some intense emotions. And the ending added a touch of zing that made me want to record this episode. What did it really mean though?

Shark Tank India has perhaps changed the face of Indian television. A few ago years though, another reality show revolutionised not just Indian TV, but the 'young Indian mindset.'

Somewhere along the way though, they lost track. What happened?

No, I don’t believe in soulmates, but I think Instagram Reels and 2021 were made from each other.

From Love Nwantiti’s Uleee to Runaway by Aurora’s Wayaaaating, we saw reels that were cringe, catchy, and fun, sometimes all at once.

Siddharth Gupta, a ‘musical comedy’ specialist decodes and dissects eight reels on three judging scales. And tries to sing them to.

P.S. Don't forget to answer the poll and the question if you're reading this on Spotify!

Design is a funny thing. Emily Zugay would know. Her viral TikTok videos almost single-handedly showed the big bad corporations (and in effect, the older generations) what 'contemporary' graphic design looks like. Not all of it, but definitely a part of it.

Zines have a pretty epic story that spans about a 100 years. They've been through the motions of being in and out of vogue, but one thing is for sure: zines are one of the most experimental and fluid forms of media to have ever been created.

Once you listen to the full episode, you'll understand why.

I recently saw Shershaah on Amazon Prime Video. While the movie was decent, the 'Yeh Dil Maange More' phrase really stuck with me! Pepsi's ad agency, JWT, came up with the tagline in the late 90's, and I think it perfectly encapsulated the sentiment of that generation.

Listen to the full episode to find out exactly how!
