Has anyone ever told you that secrets destroy lives? And that these new White Cinnamon Sticks ruin 5 million lives? No wonder Karthik likes to keep this one on the down-low. But secrets have a nasty habit of getting discovered...

Dating during the pandemic has been tough. Video-calling is probably the most that people could do over the last year. And now, with the first shoots of the post-pandemic spring, finally going back out to meet new people is something everyone is looking forward to. But beware - people online and people in real-life are not always what they seem...

Prioritizing things in life is something extremely important - so much so that even schoolchildren are forced to choose. The young rising star of Indian school-level hockey has a choice to make. Will he pass his Hindi exam? Will he ever play for his school again? What even is a Hindi?

You might have noticed that Bitcoin, Dogecoin and [insert what-have-you]coin have been all the rage in the news. The bad news is that they sometimes crash, and Robert and Rashmi teach us a valuable skill sure to work when this has happened to you.

If you're looking for an internship, (as I, Hari, am), I suppose you could do worse than joining the Summer Trainee program at the Bomb Squad. Real world experience and excitement guaranteed. Continued employment and survival not guaranteed! Sign up now!

We at DIT are a bunch of history buffs. We take a look back at the possibly-apocryphal tale of Archimedes in his bath, discovering the law of displacement, his none-too-impressed (and possibly American) wife, and the most important lesson of all - always make sure the bathrooms have doors!

 All this and much more  our show that’s unknown, unplanned and unscripted!

I honestly had no idea that 4G was still being implemented in the 1500s. Join us this episode and witness the turn of history as Mughal emperor Akbar and his advisor Suresh make a decision on the most pressing issue of our times - establishing the 32-bit microprocessor as the standard. Who knows where the internet would be without such brave souls?

Who doesn't love a good beach? Our bunch of kids sneaks out of home on a weekend, to clean the beach up! What a bunch of nerds! But a ton of other fun stuff happens on the beach, such as scuba diving, which apparently some people find terrifying. That sounds like a fun honeymoon!

Whoever said, “Excuses are the easy way out!” has never had a dedicated Professor like Hari who is determined that his student Prateek does not miss out on the submission deadline. But Prateek is equally resolute and tenacious and invents more and more excuses! Who wins finally? Listen and let us know what you think!

Sound recording and reproduction is a great industry – and there are some wonderful professionals out there who can recreate any sound effortlessly. Our tribe members are not too far behind. Jathin and Aarti too can recreate sounds effortlessly – and go above and beyond their job description to recreate sounds that weren’t even asked for!

We at DIT are ardent supporters of continuous learning- and here's a bit of history lesson for you.  Did you know that Shah Jahan almost did not finish the construction of the Taj Mahal?  His site supervisor misplaced the last brick needed to complete the edifice.

All this and much more only for your edification on our show that’s unknown, unplanned and unscripted!

I'm not sure why everyone was so obsessed about driving today. Maybe it comes of being cooped up and working remotely all the time. Whatever it is, we decided the best idea would be to start off driving lessons at 180 km/hour. Sometimes, things go so fast that they seem to stand still [or insert your favorite quasi-philosophical analogy here].

The driving lessons continue, with Aarti and Jathin demonstrating you can go both forwards, and backwards - repeatedly. Careful, rapidly changing gears could cause significant grinding. How many times can two people drive past a fountain and crystal palace anyway? More times than you thought possible, apparently.

It's also important to be able to switch gears as needed. Watch Karthik and Jathin switch gears, back and forth, as they negotiate digging a grave. An important lesson, listeners: it's important to finish a job. Some jobs should never be left unfinished...

Ever tried reading a book backwards? No? What do you mean, it's not fun?! Listen as our two resident scientists decide to peer review some cutting-edge muffin research and come to some exciting conclusions!

On the other hand, baked goods do seem to go well with stiff drinks as Karthik and Prateek ponder the meaning of solitude over a stiff drink. There's also a bit of confusion as to the role of brownies in our diets, and their commercial possibilities. And after all this, we deal with the most depressing activity of all - jewelry shopping!

Sometimes, dictators do strange things. Some of those things include ordering two random people having a conversation to do outlandish things. It all goes to show that, some people (cough Prateek cough cough) should never become dictators.

However, such people are also the best when it comes to delivering service with a smile, or a lack thereof with excuses. Watch as the tribe gives a masterclass in how to handle irate passengers in an airline without actually doing anything that addresses the problem.

There's also a debate about the value of freedom of lungis vs the security of pants. Pants all the way! All this and more on our show that's Unknown, Unplanned, and Unscripted!

Have you ever read a book? And did it ever reveal a deep dark life-altering secret? For that, you need to be a member of the DIT tribe. The books our members read change their lives for ever!

Words of wisdom from our teenage adult -Prateek – thirty is the new fifteen! That’s why he has still not moved out from his loving mother’s coddling!

If you were ever searching for teachers in anatomy or sarcasm – your search ends here! A war of words between two best-selling authors (one can always dream!) puts an end to Karthik’s ambition of writing a book.

And finally, we try to muzzle our members by deleting the letter ‘s’ from their vocabulary. Do you think we succeeded? Listen to our show and decide for yourself! All this and more on our show that’s unknown, unplanned and Unscripted!

It wouldn't be entirely inaccurate to say that some people love animals. Some even love them too much. And when two of these people, who also happen to be exes... well, expect some fur to fly!

Some legends like to give press conferences. Some of them even know why. Others are more like Karthik in this episode - no idea why they're there, but media-savvy enough to make it out unscathed.

There's also some amazing Carnatic music going on, with an audition for the newest reality show on TV! Apologies to everyone in advance!
