A Moment of Silence for the Propaganda We Fell For 29.05.2026 58minHiii mossies - Friday has returned and so have we!This week’s episode opens with Naina seriously contemplating hypnotherapy to reclaim her lost memories - which Sakshi counters with some scientifically proven advice from an Instagram statics. We then got into a conversation about how the suits have been drooling over our beloved audience (yes, YOU!!) which then got us to the topic of the week - propaganda we all fell for. The lies we were sold. The lies we were told. The lies we rolled with even when it was written in comic sans bold. From the great Kurkure conspiracy of our childhoods to carrots concealing spy tech, to the unhinged propaganda new mothers have to navigate on a daily basis - this week had us questioning everything. Is the whole world a lie? Was Naina almost the Rasna girl? Will people finally stop littering outside Sakshi's house? All this and more in this week's episode of Moment of Silence!Go watch like, share, comment, hype, and spread the propaganda that anyone who doesn't help us hit 100k will have their nose hair grow five feet long.

A Moment Of Silence For Our Hottest Takes 15.05.2026 1hHellooo Mossies - we now pronounce you Friday & weekend because another Moment of Silence is officially LIVE. As if this BOILING HOT WEATHER straight from the pits of hell wasn’t enough, we’re here to scald you with some BURNING HOT TAKES straight from the minds and mouths of Sakshi & Naina. That’s right, this week we’re diving deep into some good-ol’-hopefully-won’t-set-an-internet-mob-after-us-but-probably-will above average temperature hot takes!We begin with a debate on what makes a take HOT? Is it the waistline or style of delivery? A short discussion on the ultra lameness of lame instagram takes, and then - are wedding videos actually war crimes on wedding guests? Is politeness the ultimate get-out-of-jail-free card? Do voice notes deserve a lifetime ban? Is Arjun Kapoor a good actor actually? All this plus a few specially hot takes from our MOS live studio audience (our lovely but insane crew) and one very hot take from a MOS listener who had a take that truly called for a moment of reflection & silence. P.S: Our hot take to end all hot takes is that anyone who doesn't subscribe to MOS is going to face some very bad luck this month.

Is My Gut Instinct Wrong? 08.05.2026 57minHi Mossies, if your gut is telling you it’s Friday, YOU’RE CORRECT. We’re back with a brand new episode on gut feelings & the power of your instinct. This week Naina and Sakshi talk about battling the trenches of Bandra to get to their favourite cafes, the horrors of being abandoned by your gym trainer, and the beautiful joys of getting a second Longchamp. We then asked - how do you differentiate between a gut feeling and plain old anxiety? Should you listen to your gut EVERY SINGLE TIME? Or are there times when your gut is being a loser and just playing games to mess with you? Watch the episode to find out.(Somewhere along the way, we also arrived at the unnecessary hate against the word ‘aunty’ and sought justice for kitty parties. Plus, Sakshi gave tips on how to sus out a kidnapper on a first date and the girls reflected on their gut feelings about starting MOS.)Finally we have a gut feeling that we’re sooooo close to 100k subs but you gotta help us get there by going and hitting like, share, comment, hype, subscribe, follow, and casually dropping MOS into every single conversation you have this week.

A Moment Of Silence For Ella Getting Real 24.04.2026 1h 2minHelloooo Mossies & Mosquitoes! Welcome to another episode of Moment of Silence where we sat down with the one, the only, the absolutely wonderful Ella D'Verma. We started with having to pick up our jaws from the floor as we took in an ungodly level of beauty and intelligence - Ella walked us through the chaos of living her entire life on the internet, transitioning during the lockdown, and - most importantly - how to absolutely rake in that sweet Valentine's Day brand deal money.She got real about the psychological warfare of accepting a good guy after a string of failed situationships (since her boyfriend is apparently single-handedly increasing the green cover in the dating world) and alllllmost made us accept that maaaaaybe it’s not all men. We can only pray the boys are taking notes. We also spoke of supportive families, mothers giving much-needed reality checks, and losing friends when life takes you places you didn’t know you could go. Ella pulled back the curtain on the pageant world, and Sakshi & Naina became students as she delivered a masterclass in giving those pitch perfect Miss World answers.

A Moment of Silence for Burnouts, Stress & Baby Botox 17.04.2026 1h 12minHi Mossies & Mosquitoes, we're BACK and better than ever - it's been a while, hasn't it? Welcome to another episode of Moment of Silence. Sorry for the short interruption in services, we missed you! But but Fridays have meaning again because we've officially said bye to our burnouts and have humbly returned to bringing you episodes every week. This week begins with Sakshi and Naina catching you up on all that went down during their very short sabbatical. From watching trash float up the coastline off Carter Road to praying for the light to return to our eyes, the girls had quite the month. Our resident professional shaadi attender Sakshi has beef with destination weddings, while Naina's therapy acquired nazar and her therapist may have left her. We talked about stress and the state of the world and made bunker plans for if/when the next catastrophe hits. Finally, we tried to come up with a name for MOS nation's IPL team. Comment what you think it should be. Safe to say - the gang’s back at it! If you still haven't subscribed, really, come on, have some shame.

A Moment of Silence for Choosing Him Over Career 06.03.2026 1h 10minThis week’s episode begins with a moment of celebration because Sakshi had a birthday! Wooo! The girls went to a cricket match with the noble intention of rage-baiting men but things took an unexpected turn and Naina ended up becoming the national crush (which to be fair enraged a lot of men, so mission accomplished). From there we spiralled into a very real conversation about men stealing women’s work, taking credit for their ideas, and the mysterious ability some guys have to dim a girl’s shine the moment she starts doing a little toooo well for their liking. We asked the important question: how do you go to bed at night after stealing someone else’s work?? Our heartfelt condolences to the girl who had her cancer research stolen and an even bigger sorry to the girl who had her instagram bio stolen.This led us to the ultimate dilemma: your man vs your career. We debated ambition, insecurity, supportive partners, unsupportive partners, and why women are so often expected to shrink themselves to make other people comfortable.

A Moment of Silence for Ending Female Friendships 27.02.2026 1h 10minHappy Friday Mosquitoes & Mossies!In honour of our real life besties NEVER listening to our advice, we started this ep off with a lil bit of healing by way of giving advice to our bollywood besties who we believe had gone down the wrong path. Criminal guys and gals seem to be the flavour of the season when it comes to falling in love, and MOS does not approve. By popular demand we are back with an episode on the futility of advising your girl besties, broken female friendships, bury-the-body friends, and the myth that is a mature friendship breakup. Naina and Sakshi debate the difference between supporting your friends and enabling them, with a humble request from Sakshi to do some enabling when it comes to Meerut pronunciations. We also discussed whether our parent's generation did friendship better, Naina tried to start a pen pal community, and Sakshi requested that you remember that this is a comedy podcast - so have some pity on a bin-byaahi beti. Finally, we unpacked a few stories from MOS listeners who experienced some insane girl besties, and took a moment of silence for the mom friend of the group (hug your nearest mom friend, give them a day off, pls). Bonus: Exam szn got Sakshi feeling nostalgic and she gave us a mini-recap of a gadhyasankalan short story that has traumatized many an ICSE student.If you are a tru MOS bestie, go enable us by hitting like, share, hype, subscribe, follow, and scream it from the rooftops so that we can hit 100k.

Civic Sense, Infrastructure and Tu Yaa Main Review 20.02.2026 57minHiii Mossies & Mosquitoes, welcome back to another episode of Moment of Silence. This week we took a moment to marvel at how lucky we are to be living in a place that is the very epitome of urban planning with smooth roads, bountiful parks, perfect air and the MOST comfortable public transport system. Is there even a place that could compete? We think not. That’s right, this is an episode on all that Mumbai offers us. We talk about Indians and our civic sense, the ever-concerning AQI, construction noise, and Naina’s determined quest to see a butterfly in the city. We also dive into Tu Ya Main’s crocodile-infested scuba pool and discuss Shanaya Kapoor’s flawed understanding of the influencer life. Sakshi takes us on a detour with a breakdown of her trip to Sri Lanka and then we make a small game of choosing between bad public facilities and particularly bad boyfriends. There’s also a bit about plurals, or as Sakshi would like me to say plurii - in there, that you should not miss. Anyway, like, comment & don’t stand under any bridges. Hit subscribe if you haven’t already. Help us reach 100k before the Metro reaches completion, come on. 00:00 – Introduction00:46 – You know the topic01:43 – Signs you are breaking civic sense04:12 – Ouch!

A Moment of Silence for Cliché Valentine’s Day Celebrations 13.02.2026 1h 2minWelcome back to another episode of Moment of Silence — where Valentine’s Day is less roses and more reality checks. We start gently with “Do you even believe in love?” and then we get into couple influencers monetising their fights, decode soft launches, hard launches, and breakup triangles. You’ve heard of Veer Pahariya, Tara Sutaria, and AP Dhillon — but what really goes wrong? We talk power couples minting money, why dating a cricketer suddenly feels strategic, and whether modern relationships are just brand collaborations with feelings attached. Of course, we couldn’t resist a chaotic “Would You Rather Date” lineup featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Shahid Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor and more — so tell us in the comments which Bollywood character you’re choosing and why.We also touch upon Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, confess our crush on Hrithik Roshan, share a Valentine’s survival hack, and drop a slightly dangerous (but effective) strategy to get your man to finally do household chores.This episode is about love, PR, money, ego, delusion, and feminism. If you’re still reading this… you’re already involved.Like. Share. Comment.

A Moment of Silence for Secret Relationships 06.02.2026 1h 27minWelcome back to another episode of Moment of Silence. You already know why you clicked, so let’s not pretend. We’re diving headfirst into this week’s main character energy topic: taboo relationships. From porn and taboos being way too closely related, to the icks all thanks to the internet trends. Splitsvilla obsession, and how that chaos spilled straight into Lollapalooza. We’re further unpacking age gaps, financial gaps, and the very real fitness gap (we just invented), Inter-caste, queer, lavender relationships — if it makes society uncomfortable, it made it to this episode.And let’s be honest — is content creation secretly one of the most classist industries out there? We also switch gears into solving your problems — where the real villains are usually your uncle, your cousin, and sometimes, your own mother. We also introduce the 7-7-7 rule to keep romance alive and our very real takes on celebs still living in the closet. Oh, and we have a hard list of people you should never date — even if they’re the last option on Earth. Not done yet. We also talked about Budget 2026 (yes, against our will), gave a round of applause to the smartest women in Meerut & more. If you’re still here, help us hit 100k and become part of the chaos.Chaptering- 00:00 – We’re back 00:44 – You clicked because you’re nosy.

A Moment of Silence for Pregnancy Scares, Rom-Coms and Relatable Celebrities 30.01.2026 1hHELLO AND WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER EPISODE OF MOMENT OF SILENCE!You asked, and we delivered — pink is back, baby! From one person’s trash being another person’s treasure, to a trip to Baroda for a fashion show (that somehow turned into a protein intake conversation), this episode is packed with peak flopcorn moments of the week. We also get into how a gynaecologist visit can feel more like someone entering your guarded space, but when pregnancy might be knocking, you answer all the questions anyway. Sakshi’s first day at work was exciting… until she had no device to work on, which led to an uncontrollable urge to order an iPad via quick commerce. And don’t trust celebs who claim their favourite food spot is a random hawker — we know better.Now coming to the main topic of the episode — are romantic comedies here to stay? We dive into whether rom-coms still entice us, while revisiting a few that truly nailed the genre. Plus, we unpack all the dating advice rom-coms have fed us over the years: meet-cutes, love at first sight, beards as different phases of a man’s life, and so much more.Also, Sima Taparia has written a book — thoughts? And we get real about sharing space with men, whether it’s cuddling, spooning, or a hotel bathroom situation. Of course, we don’t stop there — we also spill some teeny weeny (but very real) details about our own relationships.We have the winners for the Weirdest Hair Stories in association with Moxie!

Are Cheaters Scarier Or Ghosts? | The Last Sleepover Ep. 01 23.01.2026 58minWelcome to Moment of Silence x Desi Crime: The Last Sleepover.Remember those sleepovers where you stayed up way too late; swapping rumours, gossiping, and trying to spook your best friends with scary stories? This is our attempt to take you back to that feeling. Hosted by Aishwarya Singh, Aryaan Misra, Naina Bhan and Sakshi Shivdasani, this crossover slumber party takes you on a ride: Do ghosts exist? Does a bad date count as a paranormal experience? Is real life scarier or the afterlife? And who exactly is haunting the MOS studio? Featuring a woman with many names, a first date from hell, and a curse that came back to haunt a family - we’re bringing you a whole bunch of nightmares, strange encounters, and simple horrors otherwise known as human dating. And because no sleepover is complete without summoning a spirit, a special segment called Afterlife Advice: where we try our hand at paranormal activity and answer your relationship dilemmas with a little help from our resident ghost. Dim the lights, grab a blanket + a hot bowl of something yum (and don’t forget to check under your bed for monsters).

We tried Predicting The Future 16.01.2026 53minThis week on the Moment of Silence podcast we’re discussing what’s in and out of 2026 — shimmies are in (two, not three, please), optimism is high, and ditching the calculator was… a terrible decision. Especially when Galeries Lafayette rent math enters the chat.2026 is shaping up to be a certified popcorn year and we’re choosing hope. Further we’re unpacking the new normal we’re all pretending is fine. We dive into predictions with Baba Vanga (credible or cap?), debate who AI is really for — the rich or poor — and talk hate comments when one co-host says something and the other gets dragged.Are marriages, babies, and memories back in fashion for 2026? Maybe. Is math homework still traumatic? Definitely.

A Moment of Silence for Resolutions 09.01.2026 52minWelcome to 2026 — where resolutions are loud, motivation lasts 24 hours, and reality hits before the cheese Maggi finishes boiling.In this episode of Moment of Silence Podcast, we give you a first look at the NEW MOS Studio and ask the uncomfortable question: are we actually better versions of ourselves this year, or just rebranded? We talk about New Year resolutions that didn’t even survive Jan 1, healthy eating plans sabotaged by chips, food delivery apps we swore we’d boycott (but didn’t), and the chaos of trying to “do better” without changing habits. Things escalate quickly — from an unexpected encounter with Radhika Merchant, to entering the kitchen with good intentions and exiting with near-death trauma. We tick off bucket-list moments, unpack the fear and freedom of solo travel, and relive losing money in euros on our Amsterdam trip (which hurt more than expected). From Indian music feeling oddly comforting abroad, to nightfall meaning two very different things (wink wink), to questionable massage parlours that felt less relaxing and more life-threatening. We also dive into red-alert areas, suggesting a paywall option, and moments that made us question why Shankar Mahadevan sings every song like it’s cardio. Add movie reviews- Dhurandar, personal losses, cultural shocks and vision boards for 2026.Basically: new year, new studio, same us — just louder, wiser (for sure), and still figuring it out.A big thank you to Orange Tree for sponsoring the lovely, comfortable furniture that elevates the space. https://www.instagram.com/orangetreehomes?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==Chaptering:00:00 – MOS enters 2026 with opinions00:37 – Welcome to the MOS Studio era01:49 – New Year resolutions02:34 – Casual day, casually met Radhika Merchant 06:09 – Almost died… in our own kitchen08:07 – We’re NOT boycotting food delivery, relax09:29 – Amsterdam chaos + solo trip thoughts10:49 – Nightfall means VERY different things14:19 – Foot massage vs body massage: Amsterdam edition17:01 – The dark side of a Haribo cookie20:45 – Wallet pinched, trip traumatised23:11 – Our Amsterdam itinerary (learn from our mistakes)25:26 – Found the saddest place on earth28:06 – Bhajans & aarti… but make it modern30:47 – Dhurandhar review (honest & unhinged)37:37 – Book club is officially happening 38:15 – Vision boards for 2026 (scam or slay?)43:49 – Unsolicited advice for the mommies47:27 – AI in 2026: helpful or terrifying?Also don't forget to visit our website- https://mos-pod.com/Brutally Honest Creators - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHkcqImp8gcbZHzn1secwSYYKG8dds437Comedians Unfiltered- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHkcqImp8gcabWOmtiYQUUXGU4ptrq9HBFollow MoS on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/momentofsil...Credits:Naina Bhan - Co-host and certified overthinkerhttps://www.instagram.com/nainabee?ig...Sakshi Shivdasani - Co-host, balancing out Naina’s overthinking with a healthy dose of not thinkinghttps://www.instagram.com/sakshishivd...Senior Producer- Amruta P. www.linkedin.com/in/amruta-bandivdekar-01879925Produced by Handmade - Our personal cheering squad https://www.instagram.com/thehandmade...Creative direction by Tinkre, Keeper of MoS' signature “Pookie” energy Natascha Mehrahttps://www.instagram.com/tinkre.in/?hl=enhttps://www.instagram.com/natascha.zip/?hl=en Researched by our very own curiosity engineer - Aashna Sharma https://www.linkedin.com/in/aashna-sharma-913146179Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed on this podcast are for entertaining purposes only and do not necessarily reflect those of the hosts, the production team, or affiliated brand.

A Moment of Silence for being triggered by everything 26.12.2025 55minHELLO & welcome back to another episode of MOMENT OF SILENCEThis week’s episode is about one thing: Rage-corn.We talk about all the everyday situations that instantly make our blood boil — men having fun after sunset, people working painfully slow when you’re already running late, babies crying on airplanes, and people cutting lines at post offices and metro stations. We also get into peak airport entertainment: family chaos at the luggage drop counter and why punctuality (or the lack of it) is Sakshi’s biggest trigger.Quickly getting into salons with no mirrors, unreasonable extra charges, awkward tipping culture (NRIs, we need to talk), to vibrating massagers nobody asked for. We also break down why ordering food or eating out with parents versus partners is a completely different experience, each with its own emotional cost.The episode moves into smaller, quieter irritations too — joke debates around “can” vs “cancelled,” the joy of raw-dogging sleep (no phone, no noise), and whether the Cinderella gland is real or just another internet lie. We read out audience responses on the pettiest revenge they’ve ever taken, Naina reveals her high-school bully was a guy, and we discuss how women still end up centring men even after ages. We end with chaos, obviously — the biggest prank the MOS team has ever pulled on Sakshi, quick call-ins, and the idea of a workout theme on the 2nd MOS Anniversary. Tell us in the comments: what’s the tiniest thing that instantly ruins your mood? And of course… #AD Moxie’s Styling Range doing the most — good hair days, but make them effortless.https://moxiebeauty.in/collections/style-sculptingWebsite: https://moxiebeauty.in/Chaptering:(00:00) – We’re back and already annoyed(00:51) – Rage-Corn over pop & flopcorn this week(03:06) – Airplanes: undoing years of therapy at 30,000 ft(05:45) – Cutting the queue, not allowed(09:14) – Asking the WRONG person for help (blood pressure rising)(11:40) – Hair stylist beef & the no-mirror salon we didn’t consent to(13:55) – Salon tipping culture: NRIs, explain yourselves(14:37) – Vibrating massager at the salon???

A Moment Of Silence for Wrong Decisions, Life Lessons & Failure 19.12.2025 55minHELLO & welcome back to another episode of MOMENT OF SILENCEWe’re back with peak vulnerability, peak chaos, and peak girl-gang energy — still manifesting that 100K era together. This week’s episode is basically emotional damage with a side of healing. From flopcorns that genuinely hurt our feelings, to “I thought my life was over” moments (yes, we want yours), to college romances that were either true love or pure character development — we’re unpacking it all.We get into sibling chemistry that deserves its own show, why female friendships will always be non-negotiable, and how run clubs and breathwork accidentally became our healing arcs. Things spiral (naturally) into Kim Kardashian’s brain scan, karma debates, Birkenstock lore you cannot skip, and why marrying the wrong man is truly a horror genre. There’s also plenty of internet chaos: Sakshi’s cancellation era, Smriti Mandhana wedding rumours, Akaash & Jasleen controversy talk, and the exhausting #proudrandi discourse — followed by rapid-fire madness because peace was never the goal.And of course…#AD Go Colors enters the chat - https://gocolors.com/pages/mostlysanecollectionHit play, drop your “my life is over” moment in the comments, tag your girls — and help us hit 100K so we can spiral (and heal) together on camera.
