  • Why do People Troll?

    Why do people cyberbully and why are people so hateful?

    What makes someone want to tell you that you suck, you're a waste of life or that you should quit trying at what makes you happy? 

    Constructive criticism aside, Sanjay deep dives into the mind of a troll, the pain they have inside and other fun asides about how the Book Thinking Fast and Slow was way too dense to read and the time he got trolled by a famous Indian cricketer.

  • Swalpa Adjust Maadi & Bangalore's Overcrowding Problem with Sundeep Rao

    Update: Wow this is one of our most listened to podcasts! DM or Tweet me your comments and I'll happily talk about them in another episode.  Do you think Bangalore is headed upwards or down?

    BLOG ON BANGALORE OVERCROWDING: https://www.sanjaycomedy.com/bangalore-traffic-are-we-to-blame-2019/

    Has Bangalore changed too much? Do outsiders respect the city? Do we (myself included) take for granted that we need not know Kannada to survive (and even flourish) here? Is the government really that bad/corrupt or are we also part of the problem?   Honest chats with a vocal and native to Bangalore:

    Host of the Drive on Radio Indigo and long time early stand up comic Sundeep Rao swings by to discuss Bangalore's over crowding problem, some things he loves and hates about where the city is going and much more.

  • Hypocrisy in Middle Class India

    Sanjay riffs about contradictions you see living in India from how we treat gay people to projecting our own insecurities and doubts and masking that in the name of culture or honor.  Why do you treat your maid to a higher standard of honesty than you treat yourself?
