The very first guest joins The Word Affairs podcast this week and it is Vidushi from Minnesota, America! A friend of Kaiynath's, Vidushi is currently a senior in high school and a tiktoker who makes desi content, and in this episode, Vidushi and Kaiynath discuss what it feels like to be judged in the communities for simply being who we are by the elder generation, the other women and sometimes even by people their own age. They talk about competition, judgement and how sometimes women can be the gateholders of patriarchy.

The podcast hit 1000 plays! A small number in comparison to others albeit, but still some warm and gooey news! Kaiynath delves into the concept of timelines in this episode and discusses why we tend to fear how long it will take to achieve what you want, as long periods of time scare us off the things we want. As everyone has different dreams and visions, their journeys will be different and so timelines will differ. Sometimes we fall into the trap of adhering to society's expectations of completing a 'checklist' - a list of all the things you need to get done by x,y or z age. But as the pandemic has taught us, some plans and goals may come to a complete standstill for a while. And that is completely okay.

In this episode, Kaiynath talks about how some friends are most likely to be fake if they cannot be happy for you. Being happy in someone's happiness is a sign you want the best for them and sometimes if some people cannot be happy for you on your success, jealousy could be around the corner and the evil eye (nazr) is a sign. With what good friends look like, the red flags of fake friends and an approach to friends from the Islamic perspective, Kaiynath goes into detail with examples of how to spot fake friends. Cut them off!

#FreePalestine

As you may have noticed, the current headlines and new outlets are covering the ethnic cleansing and destruction of Palestine by the Israeli Zionists. In this emotional episode, Kaiynath discusses why the words being used are misleading and diluting the atrocities committed by the Israelis. 

This is not an act of evil against just anyone. This is an act of evil against the whole of humanity.

Kaiynath is back with another episode and it's another storytime! In this episode she talks about the time when she had to defend herself and draw the line with authority figures as she was not being treated right. As humans, we tend to overstep boundaries and let them be overstepped too. In this episode Kaiynath opens up about how important it is to speak up for yourself especially if you are being belittled or treated wrongly.
