Episode 22: 2021 is over. Where did the year go? Here's a recap.

In our final episode of 2021, we look back at the year that was. Even as we tried to move on from a pandemic-struck 2020, 2021 gave us some memorable moments in pop culture, politics, science, and sports.

From a free pop star to space-chasing billionaries, and from a a life-saving drug to a life-changing takeover, this is the year 2021.

Join Satya and Amruta as they review and reflect on the year that was. See you in 2022!

Episode 21: Nicely done weddings: I do, (in my own way).

In this episode, we ask two women to open up about their wedding days. First, Priyanka Sivaramakrishnan talks about her epic sustainable wedding to Nihal Velpanur, and the lead up to it. Quite the storyteller, Priyanka paints a vivid picture of a celebration that had them all dancing in the rain. Next, Richa Karve talks about her plans for her big day with Himanshu Damle and the challenge of putting together a wedding in India, while living in Colorado. She talks about how learnt to take a step back from her own wedding.

Bonus: This episode has very little Satya-Amruta conversation, because what do we know about planning weddings.

Episode 20: Movie review “Meenakshi Sundareshwar," and why Bollywood can't be bothered to say her name right

We review the 2021 Netflix movie, "Meenakshi Sundareshwar," by Dharma productions. The movie about a young married couple set in the town of Madurai, Tamil Nadu could've been an insight into a newer generation owning the rich culture of the region while navigating modern relationships. Instead, it played out as a cheap ploy to attract Indian audiences captivated by movies from South India by wooing them with stock-image level narrative of food, clothes, and of course, Rajnikanth.

We take the conversation forward by discussing some tropes that have plagued our cultures Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh, and other parts of South India. And also, sometimes it's a 'veshti' not a 'lungi'.

Bonus: Learn about our pet peeves while watching bad movies.

Episode 17: Ads from our childhood —let’s talk about the greatest hits

In this episode, we talk about some of the biggest advertisements from our childhood. From tradition-breaking jewelry brands, sweet gender role-reversals that the internet is gobbling up, to our country’s top cricketers’ unhealthy attitude towards cola brands and the unfair double standards propagated by fairness creams —we unwrap and unpack ads that live rent-free in our heads.

Bonus: What not to say to a young woman who may or may not be a mother.

Episode 16: 'Tis our favorite season—let's talk Indian festivals

In this episode, to mark the occasion of one of India's most beloved festivals, Ganesh Chaturthi, we talk about the mega culture surrounding the festival season in India.
From centuries-old folklore, varied festival foods that take hours of preparation, we reminisce traditions and discuss how we are making new ones in our current homes far away from our motherland. We also share our favorite childhood memories, and realize the debt we owe to our parents who kept our up spirits up during the long holiday season. Good 1: Evil 0. 




Bonus: Can you ever just eat one chakli? We give you the definitive answer.

Episode 15: Friendships through film—Dil Kya Chahta Hai?

In this episode, we talk about all things friendship in Bollywood. In light of Farhan Akhtar ‘s announcement of ft. Priyanka Chopra , Katrina Kaif , and Aliaabhatt , we take a walk down memory lane and revisit Akhtar’s directorial debut ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ and examine why it’s become the millennial gold standard for friendship. We also talk about a few other films that tried to recreate the magic of DCH and fell short. Lastly, we talk about our hopes and dreams for and what we really want for these 3 women in the film.

Episode 14: ‘Never Have I Ever’ asked for better representation for South Asians on screen

In a new episode, we review the second and latest season of Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher’s Netflix teen comedy, “Never Have I Ever.” After a quick recap of the first season, we jump into the things that the show got right like the mother-daughter on-screen pairing. We then move on to unpacking what it could’ve done better (are we still mocking Indian accents in 2021?)

Finally, we explore the lost opportunities of the show. For instance, why did a (huge) Mindy Kaling following tune in to watch tired tropes reenforcing South Asian stereotypes instead of bringing a fresh perspective into the lives of immigrant teens?

Bonus: Tune in to hear why someone should’ve dressed Parvati Patel better for the Yule Ball.

Episode 13: Summer Days: the past and the post-pandemic

In our latest episode, we’re talking about the summers of our lives. We look back at some of our fondest summer memories of growing up in India and how those compare to the first post-pandemic summer of 2021 in the United States. From remembering the long and thick afternoons spent before ‘desert coolers’ in India to rethinking our own seasonal habits in the U.S., we’re talking about everything under the sun. We also try to understand summer anxieties and why it’s important to have the summer of your life, not someone else’s.

Bonus: Are you having a ‘shot’ girl summer?
