Civic Sense, Infrastructure and Tu Yaa Main Review

She is collabing with the musical road. Yeah. यहाँ गाइस, तास्मीजुटीजुटीजुटीजुटीजुटीजुटीजुटीजुटीजुटीजुटीजुटीजुटीजुटीजुटीजुटीजुटीजुटीजुटीजुटीजुटीजुटीजुटीजुटीजुटीजु Jeho. It's always Vandi Matram. This is my dream. It's going to I'm gonna be singing. Hi guys, welcome back to Moment of Silence Pod. I'm Sakshishani. I'm Nanabhan, and I have to admit that I am a civic sexual.

I think there's something really hot about just people who have civic sense. And I We'll go one above and say that I stand the girl who made the civic sense real. The zero civic sense real? Because every day when I'm recording audio for my reel, which is with it which is like Of national importance, there's always some kind of traffic sound like marble cutting whenever we're recording the podcast, they're drilling upstairs, and that is a massive lack of.

Like I do understand that like filming in the gym or something, whatever, whatever. But like when you're outdoors there's no right to privacy as such. So it's like if you're in my frames then you're in my It's not a right of privacy thing and I'm gonna defend this because it was started off as a gag but now you've touched enough. It's like yeah, we're just arguing for the heck of it, but now that you finally

Okay, suppose there's a person painting like a zebra crossing on the street. Yeah. And you step on the wet paint. Is that a lack of civic sense or is it That is a lack of civic sense?

Suppose you're walking on the street and someone opens their jeans up and they start pissing on the wall like all the same thing. Personally. Yes, that is a lack of civic then. But suppose you're allergic to chocolate and someone opens a candy bar and starts eating. I is that a lack of civic sense? If they start spitting on me Yes. Make out me out. wrote behind you when you're recording a fit check how is that

Anything. It's for work. Dude, honestly, she should go and thank that person because I didn't know this cr in fact I still don't know her name, but I do remember her And she just posted on a Snapchat story and additionally it's my favorite new phrase. Zero civic sense. Like anything happens, I'm like zero civic sense. Like I'm obsessed with that phrase. But I started thinking about this recently because um I'm feeling

So suffocated in Mumbai. So suffocated in Mumbai. And I love this city. And over the last week, 10 days, I was like, okay, let me take a step back. I want to take a break. Uh, and basically I've just had time by myself when I'm not in motion and suddenly every sound around me is so loud. Both of us live on I live on a vendor. I technically don't live on a busy road, but every morning I'm woken up by traffic.

It's so sad that I've gotten used to the sound of traffic to the point that I need something to fall asleep. Too but what really gets me is the amount of rent we are paying in Mumbai or how expensive the city is to live in to only your Yeah, full fucking day. Like I don't wanna hear the construction and like one time, like there's this road being dug.

in outside my house. I'm not even scared of being doxed because there's a road being dug up everywhere in Mumbai. And then they keep putting that drill and I kid you not, from like 11 a.m. to six p.m. every day there's tuk tuk tuk tuk like nonstop from every single window in my house and I'm just sitting there Like, you can't do anything. They randomly cut the Wi-Fi wire. I went and told them. I was like, Wi-Fi card dia. They said,

And that's it. Moved on with my day. This has been happening all over Bombay. Firstly, billboards in Mumbai have become so fucking. Annoying, like the ceiling, the pride of Mumbai. Now you can just pay someone to put like a light off like your brand. We are trying, okay. If you could just subscribe to Mumbai.

And we might start a payment gateway. The whole purpose behind this is so that we can get a billboard on the ceiling. So support our dreams, support the small business so that we too can be projected on a gigantic And we should do it in like our mini skirts and corset outfits like tits out on the ceiling. And the minute we bend over it cuts to the logo.

So, in this time of my rest, right, I started thinking about the deeper questions in life. And it dawned on me that since I moved to Mumbai, I haven't seen a body. Yeah, you asked me this that day and she was like, Have you ever seen a butterfly in Mumbai? The thing is, I grew up in Mumbai, so I used to catch butterflies for fun in my garden at my parents' house. Okay. There may or may not have been violence involved in this butterfly. You know it's not violent if you're four

That's true. Like I feel like there was some trajectory in my life where I could have ended up as a serial killer. Yeah. But I chose civic sense. so then I went by the way on Valentine's Day I decided let me go touch some grass okay amazing so I went

I'll tell you. I'll tell you. It was one stretch of walkway. I and my partner, boyfriend, Moses Call, we have decided to go to the Malabar Hill Forest. Forest. They have the gall to call it a forest because there's three snakes there. I think this is why. Um twenty-five rupees. Great initiative. Uh one hour. No way.

You couldn't spend one hour there if you died and came back to life. Really? I know. There it is a tiny walkway, and it is the most Mumbai Kore thing because on this walkway, there's a tree on each side. Beyond that tree is street on one side and is the school on the other side. Really? I think you went to the wrong one. I went to the right one. Because the one I saw like it 7,000 steps all over. 7,000 steps if you walk there for a year.

Every morning. Every mor. But I did see a butterfly. Yeah? Yeah. That's so exc Thank you. Thank you, Malabar. This is great PR for Malabar Hill. I it's become you know, I went to Malabar Hill for the first time a few months ago. It just it's a residential area. And I was like, Wow, what a nice neighborhood. Let me check rent. It's obviously it's a nice neighborhood. It's the most expensive

place to live in in Mumbai. And you know, a lot of like uh so my boyfriend and his friends who live in South Bombay, whenever they come to Bandra, they complain nonstop about mosquitoes. They're like mosquitoes I held in the Onion Banda. And I was saying

Shut the fuck up. Like, this cannot be possible, but... the municipal corporation in Mana Malabar Hill, if you put like stagnant water for like a hydroponic garden or anything, they'll come and flag it and be like, We cannot have stagnant water here because we don't want breeding grounds for mosquitoes.

And they're actually on top of it and that's why that neighborhood does not have a अबेसिक हुमन राइट अबेसिक हुमन राइट अबेसिक हुमन राइट अबेसिक हुमन राइट अबेसिक हुमन राइट अबेसिक हुमन राइट And then some It's so expensive to live in Mumbai and we're like literally The highest tax bracket. If I think if you're making like twelve lakhs, say Ooper a year, you're paying thirty. percent whatever and then GST is eighteen percent so technically forty eight percent of your income goes in taxes and literally

Bandra is a garbage dump. It's one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in ba in Mumbai, and it is Such a shithole to live in that I'm c like the only reason we live in Bandra, I think, is because we don't wanna do the traffic when we have to come back and forth for work. But we've been thinking about this a lot, like uh

I think Mumbai or like India is the only place where like people are commuting like two to three hours daily just water off their back. Like that's such a waste of time. I feel like my dad has spent like Thirty out of his sixty years in traffic. Yeah. So sad. and the thing is that when our parents were younger and they told us stories of I was going to go two hours for two hours because they wanted to go a paddle and the school is so long now I am going to go two hours for two kilometers

So sad. The Indian dream. Dude, when I was in school like uh so my school was in Juhu and I lived in Versova and door to door it took me eight minutes. Yeah. That and with Jew circle and all of that for I I don't know how to explain it to people that are not from Mumbai, just Google map it, okay? Uh

But now that same distance takes forty minutes. So that day I was like, Why the fuck did we like go to this school? It's so far and then my mom was like it was eight minutes door to door. All this to say that At the end of the day, and this is my opinion, I do think Mumbai is one of the the best city to live in in India if you are a woman. Everyone who's a woman and has lived in Mumbai can attest to it. Yeah. But is the fact that you do get

A large amount of personal safety that you don't get in any other place in this country. But the cost of that safety is that. Every road around you is dug up. Every time the monsoon comes, there are waterborne diseases. There's potholes. There's potholes. Pali Hill, which is like the prime area in Bandra, had a sinkhole. The entire road was sinking down, it collapsed. Which is insane and and and I don't think it's a Mumbai problem. I think Mumbai is the one city where All of these

problems come to light because everyone's packed in together. I feel like these problems exist in Delhi, I feel like these problems exist in Bangalore. Everywhere it's just that like you can space out the different economic classes and you can Like gentrify certain areas, and so the people who are above a certain tax bracket can be like, Oh, actually, I live in a great city.

This whole thing started because literally over the weekend, today is a Monday, there was a news article about how the Mulun Metroline concrete parapet collapsed, killing one person and injuring

three people and now it's like literally first we're like, Okay, things are crowded, like there's traffic. You brave the traffic and you go out and then infrastructure is literally collapsing on you and Mumbai is one of the major cities of India. We can't argue with that, right? So if things are so bad here, I feel like when people say like oh smaller towns are

better to live in, etcetera, etc. It's because the construction hasn't started yet. It's because a flyover is not falling on your head as well. Yeah, because there are no flyovers. Yeah. Like it's like it's not like oh Oh let's have great infrastructure. It's like no infrastructure or bad infrastructure. Pick your poison.

Like when people talk at least the people we meet that come from uh like smaller towns, etcetera, they are loaded in those smaller towns. So no shit they think it's a great city to live in. But when you're like below a certain income class and everything. Every city sucks. But Mumbai, even if you pay, pay, pay, you're like, take my money, like take my whole generational wealth of one family will go, but your like newborn babies still can't breathe the air in the fucking city.

लास्ट नाइट आशना और वे वाश्ट तू या मैं या और या और वाश्ट लास्ट नाइट लास्ट नाइट लास्ट नाइट लास्ट लास्ट नाइट लास्ट लास्ट लास्ट लास्ट लास्ट लास्ट लास्ट लास्ट लास्ट लास्ट लास्ट लास्ट लास्ट लास्�

Stuffed into animal thriller, stuffed into romance. Yeah. Because firstly, I you know, I didn't think that makers would stoop this low Because the way they have shown an influence's life. is not what it is please don't watch that movie and think this is a content creator's life because where is my life Lack followers. Okay. And she happens to be generationally wealthy and often. Okay. So she's okay, that's some cash, plus the content creator.

Okay, she wakes up in the morning in this beautiful uh house and goes for a swim in her pool. Then she goes for some martial arts class in the middle of what looks like a Chinese wellness center. Okay, and then she falls for this rapper from Nala Sopara. Amazing. Four out of four. Four out of four. Me. This is my life. And

The main issue here is there's one hot like interaction between them where they've just had a meet cute and he wants to collab with her. And he says this one line, which I feel like should be the name of this episode, la ve collab. And it's so fucking true. Okay, so So basically um Shania has left at 3am in the morning on a sunsaan sadak in Mumbai یہ کہاں sunsaan sadak ہے ID

This guy comes with his friend on a scooty, grabs her window, and then starts having a full-blown conversation with her, okay? Where have they spar this one undulating street in Mumbai where they've had a 15-minute-long conversation without Like any pa dude, I am willing to bet that they had to go to like another city just to get that shot. Hundred percent. Yeah, because anyway the car would go like dum dum dum I'm like all about the sounds this episode. Okay, I'll tell you.

Um Sakshi didn't want to say it before we got an email confirmation, but she is collabing with the musical road. Yeah.

यहाँ गाइस, तास्मी में! 2026, The Musical Road will only play Sakshi's Spotify playlist, starting with her number one. Jeho. It's next. This is my dream. It's going, I'm gonna be singing. But yeah, this is on San Road. This is obviously shot in RA colony. Yeah. Yeah. No, no, no. Because even RA colony development is really bad. And also, where were the stray dogs? There were no stray dogs, there were no other people. That's not the essence of.

No. No. There was a g dumps of garbage. And then I don't want to give a spoiler, but we put like a disclaimer. Okay, disclaimer. Spoiler alert. Very lame spoiler, but There's this one part where they're stuck in this pool, okay? And there's a crocodile, right? We all know this part. Yeah, yeah. Turns out the crocodile is a newly expecting mother.

Okay. And this crocodile has laid eggs in the pool. And Adarsh is like, we need to get the fuck out, okay? Yeah. And this crocodile's gonna hurt us, and we should kill the crocodile, and then Shanaya. The influencer. Spreading a bad name for influencers everywhere is like, but yeah, poolus ki safe space hai. Stop. Like this is a spoiler.

Of course, that's how you think influencers talk. This is what happens when like boomers are writing Gen Z scripts. They're like, oh, of course, there has to be a shot of her going. You know, Anya and Call Me Bay is also an influencer, right? And then she's always like Guys, it is really difficult to be an influencer. Is it the most difficult job in the world? No. But you have to be on all the time.

Yeah. And her job did not seem like she was on all the time. You know, I was just on a beach vacation and I No, I'll tell you I was trying to take pictures. I was trying to take a bunch of bikini photos, I was feeling myself, etcetera, etc. And as I was doing it, I was like these hot curled influencers that everyone's like, What do they do for a living?

Try sucking your stomach in so many times. I was like, my job is easy compared to the travel influencers because I cannot wear a bikini every day of the week. You know, they can and that requires some level of fitness or whatever. And I was as I was saying it Ali and I were discussing, we were like, We can't Yeah do the hot girl influencing. Speaking of sucking things, have you guys tried gollip's?

Caulipops. Okay, I'll tell you actually. Um, one of my very dear friends, Sanya Kumar from Delhi, has started a well-list company that's selling candy, adult candy, that's non-sexual or sexual depending on Whatever you make of it. But it has collagen in it. And since the Gen Z are not drinking anymore. Lollipops. Music festival coming up. Lollipops. Anything you need. Lollipops. It's sugar free. It is sugar free. That is so true. Sugar free candy.

What else do you need that's good for you? Mm-hmm. Yeah. So if you can hear a lot of slurping happening in the background, it is not Anything other than our entire crew sucking on a colipop. Speaking of sucking things, my boy is sucking the life out of me. No. So you know how like everyone thinks I'm soft launching my boyfriend? But the thing is I just really wanna vlog everything I do and I post everything.

This is like tying back into like infinite Lives are so hard. Yeah. And also, I just want to say: no one understands like 150 episodes, and that this is a comedy podcast. Like everything we say, they'd be like, Oh, Sakshi and Anna are so entitled. Yes, but not for the reasons y'all think. We're very entitled. Like you know, spe uh even civic sense related.

Standing in a line, I I'm offended. In Mumbai if I have to stand in a line I'm like do they not know I'm a mid-range influencer exactly in the comedy category whenever I'm standing in the line I'm like looking out from the side of my icon yeah like I'm trying to make eye contact I'm smiling extra

Literally that is where we are entitled, but we don't actually think that sucking your stomach in or like not soft launching your boyfriend are hard jobs. I have to tell you that um Something has happened to me that hasn't happened in a long time. What? I've become a lover girl. This has been happening for the last six episodes, first of all. Yeah, I've become a lover girl. I've become a lover girl. This has been happening for the last six episodes, first of all.

Yeah, okay. I'm doing a little bit. Say, say. I'm like fully... She's fallen in love with her boyfriend. Finally, it's happened. Only two years. What changed? I think I had to do a lot of just like self work to get to a place. You know, that one week off from work really changed my perspective. I saw a butterfly, I fell in love, you know, who knows what's next? What? Yeah.

not marriage but maybe a baby I don't know a baby yeah but anyway a girl baby would be really good for a girl baby is the only Yeah, that is true. Please, God. Please. Dude, imagine giving birth to a boy. Like the pits. Like I that's literally I'll like put it back in. I don't want the boy. That is some next level civic fence. Don't litter the wall. I was gonna say when it comes to civic sense, men bring two peas to the mix. One is pissing. And the other is pan. Oh pan.

Bro, you know my aunt did this really cool thing in our neighborhood. There was this road where people used to piss and s spit basically. And so what she did is she like got the road cleaned up and she stuck god photos there. So now no one does anything except worships that road. In fact when they are g going in their cars they take off their shoes. I swear. It's very respectful. I feel hot take or cold take or just general Siloic sense.

Why it doesn't have to come to a point where we put God photos on a wall to stop people from No, but that's the only thing that works. Like because once and before that what she tried is she's so cool. Like I I'm obsessed with this.

when someone used to be peeing and sh that's the road we have to take to get out anywhere. She used to stop, put the window down and be like, eh She's like scared or pissed out of them Coming down to something that scares the piss out of me, falling in love has been

So lovely. Yeah. And uh I was having a full okay. I was having a full crash out on Valentine's Day. It happened to me last year also. And I have to say it's one of the most evil holidays. It's not even a holiday, it's one of the most evil days. Every year I have a bad mood about not receiving flowers and I don't want

But I have a bad mood that on Valentine's Day when I don't want the flowers because I don't want to be that girl who crashed out on Valentine's Day is the day I crash out on Valentine's Day for not receiving flowers. It's like your birthday of love.

Like you crash out on your birthday because you're like, I don't wanna do anything, I don't wanna do anything and then you're like, Nobody did anything for me. Which is the same with Valentine's Day. Yeah. Yeah. So you had a crash out. I had a full crash out, okay. Now

Uh we went to Malabar Hill Forest. We were supposed to go at 7 a.m. But I was like, you know, maybe ticket to Bhairiya, but I don't want to be the one setting the alarm to get out of the house, okay? That's your microfeminism. That's my microfeminism.

So we went at 2 p.m. in the afternoon in the bright Mumbai sun, okay? No flowers. I I'm I'm like, okay, surely this can't be my crash out. My life, yeah. Yeah. Then we go to Trishna. Now Moses is allergic to prawns. So no problem. You know? Firstly, that's a nigga. So I'm starting to die inside a little bit. I'm like prawns vinyl, pool vinyl. What's next? Take my fucking dignity now. That's actually so rude. I'm very developed.

Just to spite. Maybe. Maybe in our last life. Yeah. When I I'm not gonna finish talking. Anyway. Um so then we ended up going to the Sabya Sachi store, okay? And I was like, you know what? Wedding night. Please. Um you know what? Let me let me be the microfeminist that I am and buy myself an overpriced piece of

Stunning. Stunning. Wait. Okay. Yeah. Yeah? Yeah, yeah. Okay, all of this is happening. Okay. Yeah. And then we come back home and at this point I have fully snapped. I've like crashed out. I've fought with him. Everything is happening. Super. Yesterday he shows up at my house.

Not because he forgot, but because there was this one perfume that I really love that has been discontinued. And he figured out a way to source the last bottle that he could find. Oh my god. And then he got the flowers and the perfume. And as if it couldn't be more perfect. The name of the perfume is Can't Stop Falling in Love with You. Oh You can buy it today.

So yeah. That's really sweet. It's cute. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just enjoying being 18 at 33. That's amazing. Yeah. Yeah. Without any Botox. And I've but in that same vein I also fall. I'm so glad. Yeah, we're really connected. But it was about something damn idiotic. We were in Sri Lanka and he hadn't slept because we took a red eye, and so he was being very tanda. And one thing I hate.

Is a man being dealer or tanda or anything? And then we argued a little bit. I was like, you know, you're not con With your po like I planned it with Adya and I planned the whole thing and I was like, The least you can do is be your jovial self. And he was like, I'm really tired and I was like, You can be tired when we're dead.

Like back up. And then he was like, Okay and then what he did, like I genuinely think he would rather have slapped me in the face because what he did is He had carried this god of red and white colour. And he wore that on one of our nights out, and it's the most ill-fitting, ugliest colours, whatever. And I know he just did it to spite me. Because when he walked out, I started laughing, but it was like a rage laughing. Because I was like you have no shame, zero civic sense.

So then I was just like I and I I was like I can't believe if like like you're gonna wear your ugly clothes, you're gonna wear your ugly clothes and then he was like, I just think they're clothes. How could he bring a jersey to a romantic vacation we had carried a carry-on so imagine he's wasted space to carry that ugly t-shirt and i was like yuck like literally i looked at him with so much disgust And you know,

तर लिटरी जिरो जिरो जिर्शी जिर्शी तो रूमांटिक वकाइशन तर नो जिर्शी जिर्शी तो रूमांटिक वकाइशन तर नो जिर्शी जिर्शी Or our points lost. Yeah, literally. Fully lost. Not vibing. So we fought a little bit. Speaking of zero civic sense, Sakshi game time. Woo. Woo! Would you rather

Take a Mumbai local in rush hour or take your cheating ex back. I'll take a Mumbai local. Honestly, I'm like a adventure sports kind of gal. And what better like, you know, with bungee jumping, with everything, like there are some safety measures. like motion. Like dying or injuring yourself during all of this is a rare occurrence. But in the Mumbai local that's a real adventure sport.

Like that's it's honestly I don't know how it's needed to have so many people in one compartment. People are like like I don't know how I just don't know. I just don't know. I I took the local train when I was going from Varisova to Churchgate for like three years and mine wasn't in Rush Avo and if it wasn't that much of a Rushava I would just like Leave early or I had other options, but it's so Cost effective, it's so efficient. safe in terms of like you're not going to get like

harassed or anything more often than not because there are so many people around. But it's also just because there are so many people around the risk of falling and I've fallen off a train. When I tried to catch a train once and I almost died. But like how is it not per like I don't understand why doors don't shut so people don't try to run or people don't try to overstuff it. You know what I'm saying? There are ways to make trains safer, I'm sure. I feel like they break the doors down.

You think so? Yeah. See yeah. I didn't think of that. Yeah. I don't know. I've never wanted to go to work. Yeah. Zero civic census, um When you get grouped and I think I'm just taking groping as like a this is bound to happen. Let's not have a I've never reacted to groping. I'm just like, I I guess this is my life. That's what I'm saying.

what am I gonna cry every time someone gropes me I'll spend my life crying. Yeah, exactly. That's so sad. That's genuinely so sad. Look, groping is something that is now part and parcel of our lives. My only problem is like When someone groped me and I say can someone do something about it but the thing is like my problem is even if you go and complain you take the guy Muji chua, like you know my solution is like undo it. But you grow him back. No I that's like assaulting myself too.

But like and the cops have you ever gone to a cop when you've been grouped or anything? Yeah. You know what they do? They do this. Nothing. That's what I'm saying. In fact, have you ever tried calling 100? I have not. I I have not. I have tried calling 100 two times. Once was when I was um I was passing through this like lonely street and you know

My concept of 100 is like, okay, there'll be cop cars patrolling, they can probably come get me. And I was like, you know, just like I could see like where the lights were and it was like a major signal and there were like some like weird guys cat calling me. So I was like, Okay, I'm gonna keep one hundred on speed down if they come close to me. And I press the number and no one else.

And I was like FUCK! The second time I saw a man beating the shit out of a woman on the road and I called the... कॉप्स, और से कि आप एक वोई आद्मी एक वरत को पेच रहे है। And I was like I don't know. And he was like, वो उनका घर का मैटर होगा. अगर आदे गंटे बाद वो आपको फिर से दिखा, तो फिर कॉल करना हम देखने जाए. सार इंडिया मेरा तो ये मेरे घर का मैटर है I love that I'm gonna use that you're so welcome yeah thank you you're so welcome

Wow. Feeling so patriotic. Live in relationship in a one BHK in Mumbai or long distance between Bantra and Buddhist? For context, it's twenty-five kilometers where it can take anywhere from forty-five minutes to two and a half hours, depending on the time. Yeah, to body. I'm really stressed. I'm really stressed. There is no way to be in love after two years if you're living in a cramped space.

'Cause at least in Delhi, right? You have a balcony, you can go like smoke in the balcony or something. In Bombay it's really hard. You have to keep staring at each other. And this whole thing of like you shouldn't go to bed angry.

And you should sort it out as a couple. It's such fucking fake news. My boyfriend can't go to bed angry. Please go to bed angry. I to sleep. And then the next morning he'd be like, Did you also not sleep? And I'm like, Yeah Yeah. Uh okay, I'll pick long distance between Bandra and Boravli because then we can spend every weekend in long distance.

Yeah. And when you're on vacation, romance is the best. That's true. I'm on board with that. Also I think like long distance between Banja and Burevri then y'all can have like Like it's just a long distance relationship. Not a lot of people do that. I'm just gonna add like a time difference just for my own fucking sake. In your hypothetical, you're the one living in Bandra, right? Yeah. Yeah, that's why you want to add a time difference. In my hypothetical, I'm the one living in Bore.

Why? But the houses are better. That's fair. You're right. Okay. Western Express Highway or a guy who just can't express his feelings. Oh, I like the word play. I just heard it. I'll pick the guy who can't express his feelings Same Okay, how many women have gotten a UTI from holding their PN because they haven't found a place to urinate? Dude. Or like severe migraines due to dehydration because you refuse to drink water.

Most people who I know who work in production do not drink water so that they don't have to pee, or when they drink water, they hold it in and everyone, every producer has a UTI. Yeah. Sorry. No producers were harmed in the week. That's it. You know, we haven't upset like a group of people in a long time, but I think that might do it. But um Yeah, honestly, I stop at, you know, the Sahara Star next to the airport so many times to just go pee on the way because I'm like, I can't do it.

Like you'll be in lower parel and then you leave and it's everyone's worst nightmare and then you reach Sahara Star in Andhiri and then you're like, I can't do this You see the Google maps just increase and increase and increase So I go and I pay in the Business idea. Like kiosks for women to pee in Bombay across the Western. Yeah, and the kiosks for men are just uh the road. Literally. You know, uh we were talking about like Bombay specific or like India specific civic sense thing.

One of them is like never walk behind a bus stop. Why? Oh it's filled with piss. Oh my god. Okay, you know what? मैं भी अपने 10K में आ गए किसा जो भी साक्षी करती है मैं करूँ

Before or after. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So sh you're y so I left the gym one morning. It was a beautiful morning and I was like, I'm not gonna use maps. I'm just gonna let my instinct guide me home, you know? And I'm like And then I cross the most beautiful scenic road and I come face to face with a rickshaw guy peeing into the gutter. In the direction of me walking.

And that was the end of this romantic journey. And I will give the rickshaw guide plus hundred for at least peeing into the gutter. You know? And I don't I don't know what else you could do because there is not enough public infrastructure for people to pee anywhere else. And there are not enough trains for people to not want to break a door down when the train arrives at the station. It is just like

So much of Indian civic sense either has to do with a lack of infrastructure or it has to do with a lack of empathy. Yeah. Yeah. And of course you'll have a lack of empathy because there aren't enough rooms at the table. If there was a seat at the table, you would give it to another person. But I know I can't get home to my family if I don't get on this exact train. For sure. Yeah. And I also recently found out. So when my house staff started working at home

Like for the first two days whatever she didn't say anything when I was tr like out of the house also. The third day she was like, Um, is it okay if I use your bathroom to pee in? And I was like Like where else are you gonna go pee? But apparently that's not a normal thing where like a lot of people don't allow their staff to use their bathroom to pee in.

So they're allowed to clean it, they're allowed to like cook you food, but they're not allowed to like use your bathroom. Like do I dunno, like I could never go anywhere. There's no bathroom. Exactly. Okay. So to that I also wanna ask This whole thing of like

upper class women being able to step out into the workplace. You can step out into the workplace because you have women of other classes there to do the domestic work that you are not able to do. So for you to live your dreams, somebody else is fueling them. We've been having this conversation where there's A fundamental difference between somebody who's helping you around the house and somebody that you see as a servant.

Yes. If somebody's working in your home, they are staffed, they're helping you out, but that doesn't replace you know, dignity of labour. Like today I told my domestic I was like Matao because I've left the house in such a shit condition, I wouldn't want her to go and like sort it out. I I would rather do one layer before she can come and help me. It's like a housekeeper, right?

The minute you have a bell and you have to do this and someone shows up, I have a fucking crazy. Dude, that's crazy. Like that's absolutely insane that you just do like ting ding ding and some unless you're like genuinely unable to walk. There is absolute like we had one for my daddy when she was on her deathbed. And that is like for us to go and help her. Like otherwise you don't need it. If you're a perfectly functioning adult.

There is absolutely no reason to have like a bell. Yeah. Yeah. Are you agree? A phone, maybe. Maybe. Like an intercom system. I like, okay, cool, you're lazy. Disgusting. Sure. But a bell, like You don't even call dogs like that. There is absolutely no reason to call humans. I would mean so often Like I would be so offended. My dad when I was a kid used to whistle for me. I used to be so offended. I literally snapped at him. I was like, How dare you? And my dad ate cannot walk. But still.

He m have has a mouth. A house that leaks every time it rains, or a guy who A guy who only showers once a week. Right. Yeah. I think like my fur my first entry into Bombay was the second half of Tuyame minus the crocodile. There was just water everywhere. Like so many times I left the house and I came back and just because it was an old construction, the entire room was flooded.

Yeah. One second, why couldn't they get out of the pool in Tuyame? Because it was a dilapidated pool and it was like twenty feet deep and the ladders had zung so they were all broken. So they couldn't get out. Oh And it had water. It so the water kept coming and going because it was uh raining torrential downpour. Oh. So So the it's sorted. Like there are no like scientific inaccuracies. No, no, no. Some easy.

Like the crocodile did need a safe space. Yeah. Everyone needs a safe space in Bombay. I just think it's weird that like there's eight people sharing a one room kitchen and this pregnant crocodile gets a scuba pool to herself. Okay. Metro construction. No, a man who can't construct IKEA furniture. Both are uh givens to me. Yeah. I don't think Indian men are very uh good at construction. Thanks. You know?

Uh well, apart from the people that work in construction obviously. I was gonna say like they're good at everything when it's a professional job. Anything to do within the house where you have to Volunteer your own effort or maybe watch one YouTube video is difficult. Yeah, I also think labourers when they go home they don't lift a finger, they make their wives do

as do like non-labourers and wi I think men in general. Non-labourers. The world is divided into laborers and non laborers Watercut in your building every two days or a man who can't come it after two years?

That's so evil. Um Okay, I find it so strange and I was again thinking about it that again, I'm from Delhi. It is the capital of a country. Okay. But still there is no running water. What? Like you have to wake up every morning and put the pump on and then water fills and then you put it off. You're a joke. No, I'm not joking. That's crazy. Yeah. So my house didn't have water for

Two or three weeks because uh the groundwater level went down and they had to literally bore a well and connect it to all the houses. So for two weeks we had water that had just like mud in it. Oh shit. And this is I'm not saying that oh I I I have it worse off. I'm just saying that how in a how am I living in a capital in paying forty percent tax? Yeah, play paying forty percent tax and drinking kear pan. That's that's yeah the question.

So I will take the water card because I am used to water not being a part of my life because even though now in Mumbai I have active running water, I do not take one sip of it. You know, you think like, oh, sure, what what's the m it's like when you get a cut in like a spot and you're like, I don't even use that spot of my body. Like and then you realise that wait.

I'm actually like subconsciously using this so much. Like when I'd showered once and the water got cut, I was like, Okay, who cares? But then washing your hands and like Other stuff. You need water. Like nobody discovers. That living in hardship is hard. Crazy. I love how all of these are like moss coded, but like I'm I would rather pick a dumb man because you can get rid of a dumb man. But like filing a complaint with BMC is so hard.

Yeah. Also, in our last episode, I just wanted to bring up that our intro apparently sounded like negative Kartika.

Ja, so der Invoice clear. It wasn't guys. Come on. I love that. Come on. With the invoice clear, right? Yeah. I love that. I'm so obsessed with like people's like perception of what's Actual PR kind of being sideline, but Nena and I have decided not to talk about people in particular because every time we talk about people.

Something happens and then like we can't put it out. For context, last episode was much juicier, but we had to pull out half the episode because in the week that we spoke about those people and maybe Moss Nuzzer is the realist, those people Had something really awful happen to them, yeah. Oh god, that's what we haven't spoken about anyone, no, no, no, yeah. But have you ever tried filing a complaint? Uh no actually I haven't tried filing a complaint. I mean

You know, I'm one of those people that procrastinates when I know the task is going to be very, very difficult. Yeah. So yeah, I had uh somebody threaten me back in two thousand and six to leak my sensitive chats and I still haven't Two thousand six. Oh. And did they naked? No. No one does anything. They got married and had a kid. Oh? Yeah. Criminals. They're just like us. Yeah. Oh my god, that's crazy. But um I I've also tried to file a com a cyber complaint.

against like one of those people in my DMs I was spewing hate. But the website like I I also used it on my phone, right? We just couldn't figure it out. I was like it's fine. Which is so crazy because most of India is phone first. So why doesn't the government make websites phone first? Did you not know you have to own a laptop to do YouTube and file a complaint?

It's really difficult. It is difficult. We were watching ugly lit uh the Anarak Kashep movie and in that basically the guy's daughter goes missing and he goes to the cops to file a complaint. and then the cops are like fucking him around so hard and then

I was like, you know, you can't go to cop stations. You just have to call your friends and the police. But then that's also such a like privileged statement to make because not everyone has friends in the police. Okay, let me just be clear. I love I think it's the best place in the world. Every time I go to a foreign country, I can appreciate that people have uh like straight lines, that there is a lot of civic sense there.

I still my feeling when I come away from it is not that I want to move there, it's that I wish I could bring some of these back to this amazing country. Because I feel like our culture, our food, my love. I'm not love. Because I feel like our culture, our food, our entertainment, everything is top notch. But it's just like it's so hard to enjoy those things. It's so hard to like Peel away from like the shit that's bothering us from living literature.

Um, you know, you if if you have a baby in India, the pediatrician gives you like a list of things to buy and air purifiers are in that. Like India has become such a country for like privileged people and they're the only ones that can enjoy it. that it's so hard to kind of Like firstly not enjoy it, live it. Live it. That is true. The like l because yeah, we are just living. And the other people are like struggling to live. Yeah. Surviving. Surviving. Aren't we like surviving?

We're living. We're living. Yeah. Yeah. No one's enjoying. No one's enjoying. No. Who's enjoying? Comment down below if you enjoy. That's so sad. Okay, I wanna talk about some niche uh civic sense. It's like sensei. I wanna make down some niche civic senseai. Um I'm trying to make that happen by the way, instead of saying like niche civic senses, anytime anyone says I need like blood and I'm like

I believe, like if they say cats, I'll be like, I believe it's cats I'm just trying to do that. Let me tell you this is a gag because in the morning we were taking an Uber here and Sakshi has dropped in the conversation a word that I would have Facetious. I really was trying to use it today. She used it so hard. I make a stress phone. I was like, fuck, have I not been to school? I did not know I still don't know. No, it was really like my word of the day. प्रश्याश्याश्याश्याश्याश्या

This week, can y'all please just use like when someone says like any like buses or something, you know, like any plural, you just interrupt them and it's like, I believe it's bus I. Like, can y'all please do that? I would be so happy. Okay, here is one that I think should make it to a civic sense list. Yes. WhatsApp calling someone when you've never spoken to them and your contacts are not any.

You think we shouldn't do that? You should not do that. Okay. If I don't know you and I WhatsApp call you, that is very bad civic sense. Yeah. This is very neat. But not holding the table when I'm more than fifteen minutes late after I've paid a deposit, very, very bad civic sense. You either r return the money or you Let me get my table. In the same vein, ordering a sizzler, bad civic sense.

It's bad civic sense. I didn't argue on the first one, but this is, firstly, it's a noise pollution. Secondly, my eyes start watching. Sizzling is noise pollution. Yes, this podcast is noise pollution. If you're listening on your headphones, that's good. But if you're l listening out loud, it's not the best. In the same vein, when I'm sitting in a restaurant and something comes From the back and if it fell on me, I could be burnt to the third degree. And after that the food tastes like shit.

That's crazy. Lots of feelings. I guess. Lots of feelings. Yeah, I know. You know what's an Indian niche thing? OTP.

Now everyone's like, Don't give your O T Ps, don't give your O T Ps but then when you have a delivery, the guy asks for an O T P on the phone. Then you for bank work I feel like everyone outsources it to bank employees so so many times during the day. A bank employee will call and ask for an OTP. Now sometimes it's a scam, but sometimes it's actually the bank work bank guy trying to process your GST. So what is the thing with OTPs? Do we give it, do we not give it?

Is this a civic sense thing? Yeah. How? Like don't give your old tapes. Civic sense. It's not to make sense. It's better. It's I guess it's a Mumbai it it's I keep saying I guess it's an India thing. I was thinking more about like norms in India, more than civic sense. Okay. Yeah. I don't think It was as much of a civic sense thing as Sislow's I I don't know why I have so many from restaurants, but I think

When a family goes with their newborn baby to a restaurant with their nanny or jhapa and they make them sit separately and they don't give them food and they don't pay attention to their child, that's bad civic sense. Hand-me-downs, amazing. Thrifting. Call it whatever. But if it has stains on it, if it's unwashed, if it's torn, all of that.

No, like you cannot hand that down and feel like a better person. You can hand that down and feel like a shit person or not hand it down and feel like a normal person, but you're not doing someone a big favor by giving them torn clothes. But most of that comes from the parents, right? Like I was at this pool and uh this kid was literally telling his dad, make a sous, and the dad said, Idhari karto. What? And he pissed in the pool where I was swimming.

Yeah, I mean... And you should know that if your eyes are burning in a pool, it is because there's piss in that pool and it is reacting with the what is it? Chlorine. Chlorine and your eyes are burning from said piss chlorine. I loved swimming. At some point. But now just entering a swimming pool. Have have you also started getting more like icked out about stuff when like you get older? Yeah. Like earlier I used to get icked out if like the bathroom floor was wet. Now I'm like icked out by

Again, because I I feel like empathy takes half a second to consider. Especially after the pandemic. No one has any business to sneeze without covering their mouth. Yeah. And yet here in this place that I love, in this home that I love. India. Yes. Yeah. It is like the norm to burp, it's the norm to dig your nose, it's the norm to clear your ears. Like that kind of stuff is gross. Can we also talk about how it's gotten so dusty? I can feel something in my nose all the time.

And I have to keep excusing myself to go and like clean my nose. I'm not having a good time. Like it's this is not the life I built for myself. I'm like not having a good time straight up. Like I know these are very niche things but they shouldn't be. Like clean air feels like a right. Yeah, it is a right.

Why does it feel so wrong? Why does it feel so wrong? Like I felt sick when I came back from Switzerland because like the change in air quality was so I got sick after spending three days at a wedding. Because I'm just old and I need food at the night time and I need to hydrate. Like you know how everyone goes for a wedding and then they're like, Oh when we go home we're gonna eat kitchy or something like that.

I'm like, where's my Hundo pizza and diet go? Yes. Like I'm like, Where's it like I I don't wanna do a kitchen. That's more about me. Unsolicited information no one asked for. To end this episode, I would just like to say In 2019, BMC lost thousands of stainless steel and iron dustpins.

Valued at 9,000 rupees per bin because people were just stealing them. In 2019, the BMC lost 9,000 rupees worth of dust bins each. In Kalina, 458 dustbins went missing to the value of 10 lakh rupees. That's two bags. And yet, you're sick. Dude, you know in Korea they don't keep dustbins because they're like we don't want to see your trash. Keep it in your bag and throw it at home. Yeah, but then here we just drop it wherever. Yeah. I went to um uh some national park. In uh Rajasthan some uh

I can't remember. But there's a l town leading up to the national park and there they don't have any like trucks picking up the trash. So there's like years of trash just piled up on the road and I was Shocked. I was asking I was like, why is it so dirty? Like there's like a three-story building and right opposite there's like a three-story pile of garbage because no one cleans it. And to end this episode is to There's like a very basic sense of um

of community that I think in India we lack because there is a caste system in place and you don't feel like it's your moral responsibility to clean up after yourself because it's a given that it is somebody else's thing to do. And um What is the point of having, say, a Titi culture or whatever else if on one side you are putting people on a pedestal for doing absolutely nothing and on the other side you're not you're keeping people invisible?

who do most of the work that gives your life dignity. Um yeah that's the and it is your job it's not someone else's job to clean up It just because everyone is littering, it's not okay to litter. I and I understand why you you're like why am I the only one following the rules? But then like every single step You know again bringing it back to the 10K reference, Sakshi.
