For so many reasons, this truly felt like a reset episode. Not podcasting took away an integral part of my growth as a creator. I actively work towards making them better one episode at a time, but I felt out of practice with it during my first stint in Toronto. This is somewhat a first of its kind, where we hung out and shot our first podcast in India - at Pune, with the one and only Karan Chauhan. This podcast is made even more special with the presence of Siddu, Brian, and Sachika!
This is a filtered down conversation from a larger one about: Karan's recent win at his pro debut, training in MMA and the fighter mindset, sex stories, infidelity, and a lot more. Revel in the shithousery!
Imagine a club with your regular setup, but with a twist. Its clothing optional and you can have sex with other people in designated areas. Why the unnecessary Uber trips huh? Co-founder, Fatima Mechtab gets on Chronic Nirvana to talk about how such an establishment works in this city, how it helps, and most importantly - the perspective it adds!

In this podcast with Simrin Gupta, a Dubai based journalist, we discussed a number of topics ranging from politics, to consent, and communication with sexual partners. Both of us talk about our experiences with sexual assault and the stigma around false accusations, and the lasting effects both of them have on people. Please consider that as a trigger warning going forward. I really commend Simrin on having the courage to talk about her story on video, and I really hope that people watching this video get the strength to share their stories with people who can help them, by overcoming their fear of embarrassment.
