It's not every day that we come across a 40-year-old who doesn't talk in philosophy or sugar-coats his words, but says it like it is. In this episode, just before we hit a century, we spoke to one of the ultimate adults- Sikandar Kher. We ask him for life advice and he doesn't complicate it but explains his POVs to us in the best way possible, and no wonder he is our favorite. We talk about life in the 30s and 40s, living with parents, finding a partner, excelling in our careers, failures, and rejections, and much more. This one's insightful and heartfelt so make sure you tune in!You can follow Sikandar on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/sikandarkher/)We promise to incorporate your thoughts & queries.

We're all guilty of wanting to 'live it up in the city' and have almost always referred to flawed representations of the same in films. Our fellow adult today did the same- inspired by 'Wake Up Sid', and life in general, moved to Mumbai when she was just 20. Today, 10 years on, she reflects on the time gone by and is super proud of it! It's Priyam Saha- writer, actor, comic, creative personnel in media, and goddess. She tells us about life in the big city, how great being Thirty feels, staying alone through the lockdowns, the goddess hour and its motto, and having multiple sources of income. So just get a pen and paper coz this one has multiple hacks to joyous adulting!You can find her on Instagram @priyamsahaCatch Rytasha on Priyam's podcast- 'I Have Feelings'We promise to incorporate your thoughts & queries.

She went viral in the big city of New York a few months back and people knew her as the 'one with no friends'. And she managed to turn that around into a community of people who come together for friendship and make sure no one is lonely again. In this episode, Rytasha & Ayushi are joined by Marissa Meizz, a 24-year-old, baby adult livin' it up in NYC. We discuss all things friendship- the concept of 'BFFs', pandemic loneliness, the evolution of a friendship with age, how are they at age 20 as compared to age 50, toxicity and serendipity, and so much more. She also tells us the story behind @nomorelonelyfriends- a community that meets up across cities and indulges in friendship.

The world might be moving towards Robots, AI, Cryptocurrency, Metaverse and what not. But at the end of the day, we are all human- flesh, blood and a plethora of emotions in a complicated universe of communication where the mask of technology isn't sustainable. What is that one superpower that helps protect everyone's heart? It's empathy. To respect your own shoes, and sometimes stepping into that of others' to understand their situation, and accordingly move forward. If there is someone who has really been at the core of understanding empathy & kindness; and lead with it- we know it's none other than Nikhil Taneja. Presently the co-founder & CEO of Yuvaa- a socially conscious youth media, data insights, and community engagement organization that aims to empower young Indians. Before this, he has had his fair share of hits and misses at MTV & YRF where he produced online content like the film 'Sunsilk Real FM' & the mini-series 'Man's World' and 'Ladies Room'. He is also on the Global Advisory Board, Goalkeepers at the Gates Foundation. AND he is one of the beloved professors at Jai Hind college. Having had the best (and worst) of both the pre and post internet worlds, we discuss how 'content is power and privilege" and what a delicate balance it is between staying authentic and non-vulnerable. Nikhil tells us about his adulthood journey, lessons learnt on the way, his honest attempt at bringing about positive change in the society via Yuvaa. And the highlight of the episode is where Nikhil talks to us about toxic masculinity, how "patriarchy benefits men but oppresses everyone", and how can men be more kind to the world and themselves.

Meeting the perfect partner is something most of us wish for. We sign up on matrimonial websites, or dating apps; hope to find love at hopeless places and what not. Here is a carefully curated matching platform that uses a compatibility test designed by psychologists, a verification process to keep the creeps away, and a plan that takes into consideration your expectations, likes and dislikes. Rytasha and Ayushi are joined by Tanisha Kanani & Priyanka Ghura who co-founded 'Not So Arranged' where they help like minded, compatible individuals connect and see if they can build a future together. They discuss the cons of matrimonial websites and dating apps, the gaps in the dating process, how their program is more evolved and scientific.

How is the life on someone who hasn't let the idea of settling down deter their aspirations and has just gone with the flow only to have had rich experiences? We often overthink things and fear consequences, and as a result miss out on opportunities while our guest today encourages us to take risks and invite moments of serendipity instead. She is Pallavi Aiyar, a journalist, independent international correspondent, author of multiple books, and truly a world citizen having lived across Delhi, Jakarta, China, Japan, and Spain to name a few.

We all agree, it's not the best time to be an adult. There is confusion, gloom, bitterness, disappointment and what not. But there has always been, and will always be, Hope.

The largest organ in the human body gets the least attention usually. It is subtly affected by so many factors of our lifestyle- stress, food, environment, to name a few.

Our Bestie Ananya Mehta, an entrepreneur who runs a successful business of healthy, great quality home made nut butters and more- and that to with her mom- joins us on the pod today. She tells us about the business, the journey towards entrepreneurship, which is never easy btw. One is not born a boss but when you believe in yourself and take a stand, is when that part of the brain lights up. And running a business is no easy feat either, especially when your co-boss is your own mother! Sharing all this along with some crispy nuggets of adulthood, is another sweet fellow adult.

Constantly bombared by 'biological clock' statements because you aren't married or planning motherhood? Period cycle not following the monthly map and just roaming around the calendar? Sexually active with protection still worried about STIs? In a love-hate relationship with your breasts?

Most of us dread sitting alone with our thoughts. Like the day Whatsapp, Facebook & Instagram were down, we immediately switched to Twitter/ YouTube, or downloaded Hike/ Telegram; but refused to sit alone keeping that phone aside. We always have music/radio/podcast on while going about our mundane activities and the only silence we know is when we are about to sleep, or during a rare solo trip to the beach/mountains. And the silence there almost always overwhelms us. Why is it so? Shouldn't we appreciate and dedicate time for a few moments of silence and solace where we just be, everyday?In this episode, we discuss the hazards of chaos, constant stimuli coming our way, over socialization and too many things wanting our attention. And we take the moment to appreciate the quiet places and moments of life..So shut the khidki-darwaze, sit in peace, we'll give you company and then just switch off and sit with yourself and your tanhayee.

A month is substantial growth especially while you're adulting. And we definitely had a substantial September and are back on the pod with loads to unload and discuss. Today, we talk about how decision making- from little things like what to wear and eat, to the big stuff like moving back home after having lived away and whether to have kids or not- is such a humongous task that it does take up maximum mind space; and to organise thoughts so as to see a clear picture and take better decisions is what growth and learning is all about. We really do pour our hearts out in this one and hope to resonate with you, and offer solidarity because yes, adulting is hard! So just take a little break from all the heavy lifting and have a listen to the episode, a little empathy for our fellow comrades on the journey to adulthood.

We hear of babies being dumped in garbage, being left on the streets, abandoned in hospitals. Ever wondered what happens to them? The risk that these little lives have- of being contracted with diseases, of being left to die, of being adopted by persons for illegal activities- rarely is anyone fortunate to fall in safe hands that secure their future. The orphans of India- some who live in orphanages while some we come across on the streets either begging or selling stuff. Championing for the cause of these innocent children is Poulomi Pavini Shukla, a lawyer, writer, and humanitarian who is passionate about the plight of India's orphans. She is a Wharton School alumna who is also interested in economic theory research and is a close observer of court proceedings in the fields of policy formulation and judicial activism. She frequently finds herself drawn towards writing, reading, and travelling when she has free time that is not consumed with social causes. Her desire to help the underserved, both humans and animals, fuelled her determination to take on one cause at a time and back it up with action.She is also a fellow adult who shares her adulthood lessons from having lived quite the adventurous life. Having seen women in her family smash patriarchy, she also has been rebellious, so to speak, and has been empowering herself and the people around her. Definitely a role model we all would want to look up to. So turn up the volume, have a good listen, and if you come across an orphan on your way somewhere, do stop by and have a little chat. It'll make their day and you might be of help to them and aid their empowerment.

It's 2021 and just like a lot of our life is governed by algorithms, so is Love. And by that we mean dating apps. While we are not zooming or scrolling miles on Instagram, an occasional break is that of swiping left and right to the various apps in the hope that we might just find our prince charming and all will be rosy again. But alas, that is not always the case. It does come with it's fair share of side effects, pet peeves, and funny incidents- which is what we are going to discuss on the episode today. Joining us is our current producer, Jalasmi, the 'mumma' of the show (she says this show is her baby so..). She has been in the scene for a while and has stuff to share. Moderated by Ayushi, this session is all about experiences, deal breakers, protocols and etiquettes, likes and dislikes, and just a general focus group discussion around the world of dating apps.

Organic is not a fad. It is a scientific way of growing food in the most healthy, sustainable way. These techniques are similar to what our grandparents and the generation before them always employed to grow their crops, now with a dash of Science and Technology.

A very special kind of love, that not everyone has the access, or the affinity to, is the love that pets give us. They can't talk but communicate so effectively, they can't think but make us so thoughtful, they aren't educated but teach us so many valuable life lessons. And pets are family, pets are children- the most beloved and naughtiest kind. They add a unique flavour to life and make it all the more meaningful. And today, we have Natashja joining us to talk about the apple of our eye, Billaroo- our beautiful black Persian cat who recently passed away. She talks about finding her, training her, learning from her, and how she was definitely a guardian angel who made her a better person. Not to forget, we also talk about plants- the home ones and the wild ones, a visual treat so often either coexisting amidst the concrete chaos or stuck in a pot. Don't we all love nature, the soothing green colour, and the joy of flower colours and birds!So, cuddle up with your pet baby, or sit beside your plant baby, or take a walk in nature- and tune in to hear it all about these adulthood companions that ease the tiredness of the long exhausting journey to Adulthood.

When in distress, we might scream for mom but when it comes to rescuing, we always reach out to our fathers. They are this safe space, their presence feels secure, and everything seems solvable when they are around. But at the same time, we are slightly scared of them as well, we try to avoid upsetting them and their anger makes us tear up. But that's how dads are everywhere. And they just make the world so much better. On this station, Ayushi's dad, Mr. Siddharth Raman Amin joins the train to Adulthood and they discuss professional lives as the father-daughter duo also have a boss-employee equation. How has it been at work, how do they balance home and office; and Mr. Siddharth shares some really helpful insights on career, youth's different approach to things, how life gives us multiple options, and how we as a generation can do so much better. He also sheds some light on how being a dad is a responsibility and a joyful part of life; and shared some of his adventures owing to a genial nature. So, get your dad along, tune in, give sarcastic looks when one of you is put in the spot and make sure you sit him down later and have such a talk that will leave you a better person as well.We promise to incorporate your thoughts & queries.

We buy it, we use it, and we wrap it in a piece of paper and let it go. What happens next? What happens is that it rests in a landfill beyond us and our future generations ignoring the earth's requests to just decompose and move on. The pads. Layered with perfume and plastic. This World Environment Day 2021, we feel it is a good time to reconsider your choices, give a thought to Mother Earth and make that much-awaited switch to more sustainable and eco-friendly products. To help us out, we invited Kathy & Jessamijn from Eco Femme, a social enterprise based out of Auroville in Pondicherry. They specialize in cloth pads and have been revolutionizing the period scene with their minimal waste cloth pads that come in various sizes.We discuss periods, our leakage stories, the issue of plastic and wastage, the yuckiness and earthiness of blood, and a sense of solidarity that menstruators share.

One of the biggest antagonists of our life is Patriarchy- a toxic philosophy that has governed so much of our existence. From simple things like not wearing shorts and exposing those sexy legs, to being pulled out of school for getting periods, the spectrum is huge and we all fit in somewhere or the other. And as a generation, we try to defy but there is always a side of guilt that never goes away. To talk about all this, we had Dr. Falguni Vasavada, someone who has been through it and has successfully empowered herself; and now passes on the learning to numerous other women. She is a professor at MICA, an advertising and branding consultant to businesses, an Instagram celebrity, a national-level Garba player, and above all the role model we all want to have. She talks to us about the realizations she has had through the years, how toxic conditioning needs to be caught early and unlearned, how to tap into the confidence you already have and dust off the layers of what people say, and assures us that being ourselves is a superpower.

Once a woman attains motherhood, she is revered by society. That becomes her principal role in life. But we rarely acknowledge the woman behind the layer. She could have been so many other things- a sister, a daughter, an artist, a friend, a buddy, a lover. But when she becomes a mom, there is no going back. At least not until the kids grow up, which is a long time. Sometime into the pod, Purnima aunty, Rytasha' mom and our guest for the pod, talks about how both her daughters have now grown up, built their individual lives and this is her time for herself where she can be found reading, cooking, pursuing a hobby, making the time for all that she might have left behind the day she held her child in her arms. And we say, you go girl! Along the way, they do talk about stuff that will make us thoughtful. She is someone who grew up in Singapore and got married into a small town in India. How many of us will choose to do this? She had a flying career but prioritized her kids first. Will we do the same? It's a generation gap, but our cohort was entitled to support and voices that led to being able to make a choice. And it is women like her who did not walk the path but opened the gates for us to find it and make it ours. As we close the Mother's day celebration for 2021, we are eternally grateful to all the mums out there who stood by their kids and paved the way for progress and empowerment. May we be them, May we raise them. We promise to incorporate your thoughts & queries.

Most of us are at an age when our moms had already given birth to us/our older sibling. They were married, had taken on the responsibilities of running a house, were managing ties with people from 2 families, and a lot of them were juggling a job as well. They had, maybe, lost touch with hobbies, friends, careers, lovers; had kissed goodbye to a lot of dreams as well. But that did not deter them from giving their best to the responsibilities at hand. They brought us up with utmost love and care and gave fire to our aspirations, made sure we get the best of everything. It's because of their unconditional support, we have it a lot easy in life. Some of us live with them and it's a bittersweet time, some of us live away and there is not one day that we don't miss them, some of us don't have good ties with them and are coping with it, learning to be strong; and some of us look up at the sky each time something important happens and quietly send out a lot of love. With Mother's day around the corner, Ayushi invited Neha Amin, her mum, on the show and it's a heartfelt conversation between a wise mum and her young daughter. So make a cup of chai/coffee/kadha for your mums, play this on the speaker and sit back and relax. We bet it will make your day!And if you're wondering where Rytasha is, she will be joined by her mum in the next episode, so more awesomeness coming up!We promise to incorporate your thoughts & queries.

Work and Life locked in the houseTo stay safe and operate remotelyLife fell down, losing its balanceAnd work went tumbling shortly. Major relate? Us too!Terms like Work-Life Balance are casually thrown around in the present times and yes, there are multiple studies that show how it has gone for a toss but is it so? In a time when work can be office work, household work, or pursuing a hobby while Life could mean sleeping, browsing, surfing, socialising, relationships, and what not- do these studies take the non-ideal millennial life into account or are still stuck in the 9-5 era? If it is the latter, isn't it a fallacy on our part to stress ourselves out with the thought of a sense of imbalance?If you thought this episode was about two young women complaining about how work is too much, zoom fatigue, additional chores, bad internet, etc. then yes! you are right but only partially. Rytasha & Ayushi also discuss how work-life balance is a very undefined term for what constitutes the present-day meaning of these terms and help us deconstruct the same idea that has been rammed into our heads for quite some time now. So whether you are working with excel sheets/ flour and baking powder/ wax and moulds/ case files and journals/ Stethoscopes and pills/ mics and guitars/ lights and cameras/ or even IMPORTED SNEAKERS; You do You and define what your work and life mean to you and live both to the fullest and as much in equilibrium as possible in Your capacity.

This episode, we address a very important aspect which is Sexual Wellness. Everyone talks about sex but what about pleasure, comfort, foreplay, creating an ambience, and hygiene? India saw a huge rise in the sale of sex toys and intimate products like lubes and oils, in the lockdown. Clearly, people are exploring this side as well. And as a country of 1.2 Billion people, we should not shy away from talking about it!To add more to this conversation, We had Anushka & Sahil Gupta- couple and founders of a bedroom essentials brand called MyMuse. They shared highlights from the research done for the company, the products they have curated, the importance of sexual wellness, how and why it can be a healing and good experience and doesn't deserve to be taboo, and some fun young chatter overall! So singles and couples, do tune in for some positivity :)You can check out MyMuse at https://mymuse.in/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mymuse.in/We promise to incorporate your thoughts & queries.

The last year felt like those few minutes after a nap that was aimed to be quick but lasted fashionably longer than we thought- unproductive and clueless and panicky. And this year feels like we badly need a nap but are avoiding it, dreading those post-nap feelings. In both cases, we are miserable and helpless. Take a break from all of this, close your eyes and just imagine- life. post. Covid. Not like the second half of 2020 with half-assed freedom, but like, maybe 2019, but better.You have finally activated that travel Whatsapp group and are packing to go on a trip, your pretty dresses can finally see the light of the day when you wear them for that date you've been planning with the cute guy you met online or when it's a Friday night out with friends at a cool resto-bar and you can't wait for the DJ to play Bollywood, you can take the fast train to town and stand by the window letting the breeze serenade you, you can move on from the elbow touching and just go and embrace a loved one, you go to office and for so many, see your colleagues outside of the rectangular screen for the first time (awkwarrrrd, but nice)- feels good? We have more on this episode.Sit back, relax, tune in with some Wine (we know it's been a rough week and weekends are usually a blurrr in the lockdown), and listen up!

Last year, life gave us a lockdown and we made memes, music, art, cakes and Dalgona coffee out of it. And now that another lockdown is staring at us, we'd rather make ourselves the regular chai/coffee and sit back and relax because no, we have no energy or creativity left. Relate to it? Then this episode is for you.And there comes a time in life, lockdown or no lockdown, when you feel this way. When everything is blase, uncertain and you are directionless. It could be your job, a relationship, or a series of bad days that have become life. What do you do? Cry, yes. Take a break, absolutely! Talk to a friend? Best. And sometimes just give up, leave it to the universe and get on with life? Maybe, yes.In this episode, Ayushi & Rytasha are in the same boat as us. And the boat has lost way and is on the route to Suez Canal. And guess what?! Ever Given is stranded there and so are we. Hopefully, the ship has refloated. And the boats stuck in traffic have started moving. And the news cycle has also refreshed for other stuff. Moral of the story? You get stuck, things get solved, and life goes on. Hopeful, right? We hope so.We promise to incorporate your thoughts & queries.

Gone are the days of heavy words and melancholy filled Shakespeare poetry. It's the time of relatability and rebellion. Poetry in the present day and age, for us millennials, is a way of expression. A lot of us are independent, often lonely, facing an identity crisis, and are still getting used to life as an adult. Many times, the emotions faced are inexpressible in regular conversation but when weaved into poetry, it is our version of putting things out in the world in a way that our heart is on our sleeve and poured out, we are relatable and at the same time, it is not too much personal information going out.It was World Poetry Day on 21st March and to mark that, we invited fellow millennial and 'baby adult' Rabia Kapoor- she is a spoken word poet, a writer, an editor of a magazine named 'Spacebar' and freshly back in the city from London where she was studying.Ayushi, Rytasha & Rabia chat about life in general, life in poetry, how does it feel to be back in the city and home after having stayed alone for a long time, and in this pandemic situation; about social media, the general attitude of the people towards youngsters and much more.Tune in for some sisterhood and solidarity :)We promise to incorporate your thoughts & queries.

It takes just that one person to make or break the day, their sight like a beautiful sunset, bringing so much joy in the heart and a swarm of butterflies in the gut. Every romantic song is strongly felt and emotions overflow like never before. The day is consumed in their thoughts and often we find ourselves looking somewhere faraway grinning like an idiot. All of these are symptoms of having a crush in life and we can't deny that it is the best feeling ever! Sometimes a crush might like us back and that can lead to a road less travelled but mostly that never happens, often the heart is left crushed but still, that phase becomes positively etched in memory.Rytasha & Ayushi become teenagers for a while as they get nostalgic about their time in school and college, and the times someone made their hearts flutter and eventually crush it (or not, that's something we find out in the episode).

If we're done celebrating women's day via the multiple trends and campaigns that told us exactly what Bruno Mars has been trying to say since the last decade- that we are amazing, just the way we are!', let's do a little real talk about what it means to be a 'woman' in the apparently progressive 2020 and beyond.We've invited the most real/reel and relevant women on the internet and irl- the amazing Joshi Sisters!

But since its not, here's the episode to reassure you at that the pressure to get married, have children and make massive commitments is felt by all of us. We know exactly how it feels to be trapped in that pressure cooker waiting for the whistle to blow - but instead of panicking, we take a look at why this is our default setting, how we unburden ourselves, and most importantly, how we can stop pressuring those around us.We connected to this in a VERY real way - hope you do too!You can talk to our hosts Rytasha Rathore & Ayushi Amin on their Instagram handle:@rytash @ayushia9You can listen to this show and other awesome shows on the IVM Podcasts app on Android: https://ivm.today/android or iOS: https://ivm.today/ios, or any other podcast app.You can check out our website at http://www.ivmpodcasts.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We started at X but somehow ended up at 100. But that just goes to show that the philosophy behind our "mindsets" is hardly linear - and neither is adulthood. In this episode we took snippets from Aristotle, Plato, The Bible, Upanishads, Lao Tzu, Buddha, Amin and Rathore to dig into what guides and builds our own mentality. Somewhere along the line we discussed positivity, negativity, the odd misconception around virtues and stuff about trees.
