Hii Mossies! This week on Moment of Silence - after dumb things that made us cry and dumb things that made us angry - we’re back with the dumbest things that made us jealous! That’s right, this is the episode where Naina and Sakshi get into their dumbest deepest darkest jealousies (promise it's different from all the others). From middle school body hair trauma to adult adulting insecurities that hold us back, this is one of those episodes that will make you laugh, make you cry, make you realise...
Helloooo 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 rea...

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 coas...
This week’s episode is a tiny bit of a financial intervention… because for many of us, money talk is deeply uncomfortable. As your Internet besties, sometimes we have to hold you accountable and push you to make decisions that honour that best version of you. Saving money, investing money, filing taxes — yup it makes us sweat behind the knees too. But instead of letting your dad, brother or boyfriend handle your finances or WORSE not deal with your money at all— 2026 the mossies get financially ...
This 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 shin...
Happy 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-bod...
Hiii 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, constr...
Welcome 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 relationship...
Welcome 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.

We’re starting this episode on a high — celebrating our Spotify Wrapped 2025 win, looking back at the things we actually showed up for this year, and recapping how 2025 really went. From there, things spiral in true MOS fashion. We play Guilty or Not?, debate whether Goa is still the default New Year’s Eve personality. The conversation then takes a sharp turn into rich-people behaviour. Somewhere in between, Kim Kardashian’s pubic hair wig enters the chat — followed by a much-needed, grown-girl ...
