Unscripted with D.I.T

We made it to 60 Episodes! Again, thank you to all you wonderful listeners.

Improv is all about collaborative storytelling. (Note to self: Go ahead, stick that one on your resume!) And here, we endeavor to do just that. Watch how the tribe  of us create a spooky story, with Jathin and Hari acting out the parts. Or how Robert can turn the most random quotes out of random books into a believable, if farcical trial. 

And that really is the magic of improv. It opens you up to worlds of possibilities, all of which you are free to explore without fear. Interested in trying it out for yourselves? Do join our open jamming sessions! You can find the links on our social media platforms:

Once again, thank you so much for keeping our journey going!

The early bird gets the worm. But who wants worms for breakfast?? Yuck!! Like Garfield, Roma and Rashmi believe that mornings should begin much later in the day. And when they are forced by a well-meaning friend to join the 5 AM jogging club, they are out with their claws and even sharper tongues!

It is back to school time in most places around the world. Our tribe members are no exception. Two not-so-yummy-mummies engage in an almost-fist fight as they compare the merits of their pre-schoolers.

A young man decides to start the year with a possible prom date – but is handicapped by the number of words he can use and more importantly by the fact that he is not George Clooney.

And Physics teacher Karthik tries to figure out what on earth was his recalcitrant student, Saira doing the whole academic year. Do you think he will succeed?

All this and much more on our show that’s unknown, unplanned and Unscripted.

I have little idea why people are so afraid of this whole Friday the 13th thing. But it seems suitably spooky, and since we were recording this on Friday, it was a no-brainer.

To start us off, Prateek and Hari demonstrate what to do if you're ever in a horror movie and have to hide from a (or his) mummy. Rashmi demonstrates the dangers of autonomous vehicles that gain a mind of  your own. And to top it all off, everyone manages to mangle a scene from FRIENDS so badly you'd think it was resurrected much like Jason was (in so many movies). If that doesn't terrify you, then you're made of sterner stuff than most of us, especially Jathin.

Improv can get you on lists, apparently. No guarantee what list, mind you - it could just as well be a guest list to that exclusive club, or on your boss's hit list. Improvise at your own discretion.

Sometimes, it pays to interrupt people. I remember several times when a conversation I was in got hijacked and ended up in weird new places. Weird is what we do best, so check out the freezing extravaganza that starts in a single's bar for married people and ends in cryptocurrency investments.

Sometimes things are fortunate. Sometimes they're not. And sometimes, you can end up sharing a train compartment with a creepy stranger on your honeymoon. Leave them alone, Aarti!

And for those of you who can't wait to go on a long hike once this whole pandemic is done, I have one extremely credible piece of advice - Leave Roma at home. Give her a jigsaw puzzle to keep her busy or something.

The big news this week was that billionaires are going to space. Some of them in very interestingly designed rockets that make one wonder what they're trying to overcompensate for.

Ever wondered if Richard Branson was a little jealous of Jeff Bezos? If so, we've tried our best to portray how that scene would have played out in real life. We also show what it would look like if you put people from DIT in charge of a space mission. Good thing none of us are astronauts.

Have you ever wondered what makes superheroes, well, heroes? Is it their powers? Would a superhero shorn of their powers continue to be heroes? We examine this complex issue of morality, and if you want to know how that turns out...

Summer is here. Yay...

And while these folks are away, the cats come out to play. And this cat has developed some... exquisite tastes. And all of this leads us to our true test of loyalty - will we do what it takes to save our pets? Or just swipe that exotic bottle for ourselves?

I'll confess that I've never looked forward to building a house - too many details to think about! But the pillars that the roof stands on - those are critical, and if you're not careful, can come crashing down over your heads, as Karthik's greatest fear is reveled. Jathin and Robert try their best to spare Karthik (from Roma and Rashmi). Find out how that goes!

Ever since I (Hari) got married, I've been told about a hundred times that communication is key to keeping your marriage smooth. I took that advice to heart, honest! And yet, every time I'm tapping away on the phone, I'm met with angry glares! Hello? I'm communicating here! Ever wondered what to do in that situation? We find out so you don't have to!

Oh, and someone might have unleashed a mummy's curse. Thought you'd wanna know!

Ever been in a meeting where you've been blindsided by a seemingly random question from the audience? Where you had no idea what to say next? Watch as we put one of us in exactly that position? If you or someone else you know need an unflappable CEO, drop us an email - we have a whole list!

It should come as no surprise to anyone that members of our tribe have pretty fertile imaginations. Listen to how a conversation about never finishing what someone started spirals way out of control, spanning buses, fitting rooms, and the world itself as it grapples with globalization!

This is our 51st episode! 51 weeks of providing awesome (at least in our opinion) entertainment to all our listeners. This episode, we decided to stretch the tribe by challenging them to educate while entertaining. As always, the tribe rose magnificently to the occasion. We leave no branch of studies untouched.

Always wanted to learn about astronomy? Take a stroll around the DIT astronomical laboratory – where you can gaze at stars like LoonaMoona and MoonaSoona through a special eyepiece- Sparklers™ (patent pending).

Lockdown forcing you to stay at home and develop new hobbies like gardening? Do not miss inputs on Gardening 101 and how the width and length of watering pipes can affect the growth of petunias and pumpkins.

Oceanography? Pyrotechnics?  We have got you covered. To our tribe members, both these areas are but two sides of the same coin!

Archaeology, did you say?  We give you all the dirt behind becoming a master digger.

Treasure hunting? Do not forget to pack a special equipment – the PICKASS (patent pending).

All this and more, on our show that’s unknown, unplanned and of course, unscripted!
